The Bee Gees are true legends. They actually had two careers. In the mid 60's to the mid 70's and the mid 70's on. Everything they touched was pure gold. One of the best trios of all-time. And one of the best songwriting teams ever.

@@MrBonners I don't mean to argue with you, but you could not be anymore incorrect. Disco started in the early 70's, gained momentum in the mid 70's and exploded in the late 70's. The Bee Gees did not 'invent" disco. As I said, they were one of the driving forces, along with Donna Summer and others who helped it explode worldwide. And disco continued well into the 80's.

The Bee Gees were the target of so many jokes in the 70s and 80s and snide comments and they probably took it in their stride. Big hair, shiny shirts and medallions...that was the look. However they were responsible for some timeless badass classics. Love them more now than when I was an "oh, so serious" teenager! The Foo Fighters have done some great Bee Gees covers...worth checking out.

Miami wasn't their home town. They're British, born on Isle of Man, lived in Manchester then the family emigrated to Australia for 8 years before going back to the UK. They'd gone to Miami to record at Criteria Studios, on the suggestion of Eric Clapton. The bridge from Criteria to the house they were staying at created that rhythm when driven over.

The opening sound was from a car they took on a bridge to and from the recording studio. Barry heard it. Jive talking they thought was black slang but their producer Arif Mardin told them Jive talking was BS ing. So they changed the lyrics to reflect the info he gave them. He's also the one who got Barry to do the high voice.

One crazy thing about the Bee Gees is that they had no formal voice or music training. They couldn't read music. They just started playing instruments, writing songs, and singing when they were young children. Barry was 8 and the fraternal twins Robin and Maurice were 5 when they started. They wrote and produced over 1,000 songs.
