Australians received the Grammy and were recognized as the best
The Barry brothers, Robin and Maurice Gibb began performing together in the late 1950s and recorded their first professional CD in 1962. Over the next five years, they released two records with their own songs, became stars on Australian television.
But real fame came to them in 1967, when they moved to England, where drummer Con Peterson, bassist Vince Meloney and manager Robert Stigwood joined the trio. In this line-up, they recorded four hits - “To Love Somebody”, “Holiday”, “Words”, “I've Got To Get A Message To You”, which made them famous throughout the world.
However, in 1969 a dispute arose between the brothers and the group broke up - Robin began a solo career, and Barry and Maurice began to perform a duet. In the mid-1970s, the brothers reunited, found a new producer, moved to Miami and, fundamentally changing the style of rhythm-and-blues in falsetto performance, recorded the soundtrack for the film “Saturday Fever”.
In 1977 and 1978, the fourth of the Gibb brothers, 18-year-old Andy, also held the top of the charts with the songs "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" and "Love Is Thicker than Water", written for him by older brothers.
February 16, 1979, the Australian band Bee Gees received the Grammy Award for the album "Saturday Night Fever", recognized as the best in 1978. At the end of 1977 and in 1978, Bee Gees dominated the British and American charts, and three songs from the album "Saturday Night Fever" one after another came out on top of the UK and US charts.
At the end of 1979, Bee Gees had five platinum albums and more than twenty singles hits that were in the top ten on both sides of the ocean. At this time, the group broke up again, the brothers went in solo careers and united only in 1987.
