Robin Gibb dead

[megomania]

I missed the news yesterday - RIP. It's too bad Robin and Donna Summer aren't getting the same type of wall-to-wall coverage that Whitney Houston got. IMO those two contributed more to music and affected generations more than she did. Saturday Night Fever might be the greatest movie soundtrack of all time.

The Bee Gee's "He's A Liar" is playing on my streaming radio station as I type this. Freaky.

I like the "Bee Gees" and play their music once in a while. My 11 year never pays that much attention to the news or anything, but when they announced Robin Gibb had died he asked "Dad, why are so many famous people dying lately"?

RIP Robin.

It's weird thinking Barry is the only one left - and he's the oldest

And that includes Andy Gibb who was the youngest of the 4 brothers, but died first.

Sad thing indeed. Robin was probably the most talented of the Gibb clan. He's responsible for the Bee Gees' Odessa, the 7-minute song in that incredible selftitled 1969 album.
By the way, they have a sister that still lives in Australia. Leslie is older than Barry, and she was part of the Bee Gees for a couple of weeks, after Robin Gibb left the group for a year back in 1969. There is one, just one TV appearance of Barry, Maurice, and Leslie Gibb, with drummer Colin Petersen in England.

Awe I hate that...I loved these guys. I recently bought a couple of their albums and a greatest hits CD that I listen to all the time.

RIP Robin!

I doubt many noticed this, but Robins funeral was eerily like a scene from Sgt Pepper. His casket was pulled through town on a horse drawn carriage encased in glass with Barry walking out front. This was very similar to the scene where the Bee Gees walked through the small town with Strawberry Fields. Life imitating art.
