"The Bee Gees"

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the British and Australian band that was originally a pop singer-songwriter combination and then reborn as funk and disco. It looks at the rise to fame of the brothers Gibb and how they have found their way into every corner of popular music around the world.

From the Paper:

"Their first British LP, 'Bee Gees 1st' was critically acclaimed and considered innovation for its time (Bee pp). In 1968, two major hits, 'World' and 'I Gotta Get a Message to You' are still regarded as many critics as the band's golden years (Bee pp). Robin left the band in 1969 but returned in 1970 for the release of 'Lonely Days' and 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart' (Bee pp). With no successful album, however, the group hit rock bottom and were generally believed to be finished (Bee pp). The band finally found the new sound they had been developing with their following album, 'Main Course,' which included 'Jive Talkin,' followed by 'You Should Be Dancing' and 'Love So Right' (Bee pp)."
