Sep 2, 2024 · How the Bee Gees wrote a song for Celine Dion in just four minutes. Watch Bee Gees and Celine Dion record 'Immortality' in fascinating behind-the-scenes studio footage. The power ballad duet proved to be a big success, reaching number 5 in the UK and giving the group their most recent top 10 hit to date.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma. Popular Bee Gees...

New York Mining Disaster 1941
There was an incubation period of four years from the first single released in Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb’s adopted home in Australia (1963’s “The Battle of the Blue and the Grey”) to their international arrival. They literally performed for their passage back to England, paying for their fares by singing on the deck of the Sitmar Line’s Fairsky steamship and arriving in February 1967. But then things moved incredibly quickly. The brothers auditioned for impresario Robert Stigwood, who in...
To Love Somebody
“To Love Somebody,” also from the Bee Gees 1st album, was actually a flop in the UK, peaking just outside the Top 40. But it became their first Top 10 single in some other countries, and laid down a marker for the Gibbs’ sheer coverability. An intense, mature and versatile love song, it was picked up almost immediately by Lulu, whom Maurice Gibb met at Top of the Pops and later married. Nina Simone’s deathless version soon followed, then more than 160 others, by everyone from Tom Jonesto Jani...
Massachusetts
If the Bee Gees were supposedly a new Beatles, they also had harmonies that would have done the Beach Boys or the Mamas and the Papasproud. They proved as much with “Massachusetts,” a single whose glamorous-sounding location appealed to European fans, most of whom still only knew American states from their namechecks in popular culture. In those heady first few months, the song topped the UK chart for a month in October and early November 1967.
I’ve Gotta Get A Message To You
The dramatic story song in which the narrator was facing death was a popular device of the 1960s and early 1970s (“Green, Green Grass of Home,” “Indiana Wants Me,” “I Did What I Did For Maria”). In that spirit, the dead-man-walking narrative of “I’ve Gotta Get A Message To You” caught the imagination of singles buyers worldwide, notably in the UK, where the single became the Bee Gees’ second No.1 in September 1968. Some band disharmony and a brief split were to come, but renewed success was a...
Words
By 1968, everyone was listening to the Bee Gees’ songs. “Words” was their next hit, Top 10 in the UK and many other countries, and plenty of artists would hear its potential. Glen Campbell was an early advocate, recording it for his Wichita Lineman album, and soon it was part of the live set by the newly-liberated Elvis Presley. The version he sang in August 1969, with the Sweet Inspirations and the Imperials Quartet, was part of his In Person at the International Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevadaalbu...
How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
In another endorsement of the innate soulfulness of what were ostensibly pop compositions by the Gibb brothers, “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart” was turned into a soul gem by Al Green. The Bee Gees’ original, from the Trafalgaralbum, didn’t chart in the UK, but it was a gold-selling No.1 in America, their second in a row there after “Lonely Days,” which, remarkably, was recorded on the same night.
Nights On Broadway
Jumping ahead to 1975, “Nights On Broadway” was the second single from the Bee Gees’ “comeback” album Main Course. Among its many attributes, and encouraged by producer Arif Mardin, it was the song that proved to Barry Gibb that he could sing falsetto. A Top 10 single in the US but surprisingly not a success in the UK, it featured a funky soul-rock groove that was played up by Candi Staton, when she swooped to secure the British hit with the song in 1977.
Don’t Forget To Remember
Mention the Bee Gees in the same breath as country music and many minds will jump to “Islands in the Stream,” their composition that became a lifelong anthem for Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. But the brothers themselves dabbled with the genre, notably on this Barry and Maurice song that did indeed inspire country covers by Skeeter Davis and Donna Fargo.
Lonely Days
This reflective but hypnotic song was the fruit of the brothers’ reunion, when they got back together to record in the summer of 1970, following Robin’s temporary departure. Essentially written, Barry later revealed, in ten minutes at his London apartment, it featured on the 2 Years Onalbum and climbed to No.3 on the Hot 100.
My World
From a period of the group’s history that’s often somewhat overlooked, 1972 brought two new hits before they entered the barren spell that preceded their incredible return to favor. “My World” featured a trademark singalong chorus and was later described by Robin Gibb as a “rollicking little jaunt.” Ever adaptable, the brothers wrote it backstage at the popular UK television series of the time, The Golden Shot.
Jive Talkin’
Indeed, it was the Mr. Natural album that began the brothers’ relationship with Arif Mardin, the masterful producer who helped guide them back to worldwide recognition. That LP barely grazed the Billboard listings, but it marked a move towards a more R&B-based sound. With Mardin’s encouragement, that would be further explored on 1975’s Main Course, cut in what became their new bolthole in Miami, Florida. The first serving was the energy-restoring “Jive Talkin’,” which combined a chugging beat...
Fanny
After “Jive Talkin’” and the pop-funk of the aforementioned “Nights On Broadway,” the third single from this resetting of the Bee Gees’ compass was a song that received a huge and perhaps surprising compliment. In a 35 Years of Music special on the group in Billboard in 2001, Maurice Gibb revealed that years after the Main Course album, he and his wife were on a bus in New Orleans with Quincy Jonesand his band. The storied producer, arranger, and industry giant told Maurice that he was lookin...
You Should Be Dancing
The staging post album in between Main Course and the incredible phenomenon of the Bee Gees of the later 1970s was Children of the World. It was introduced, in the summer of 1976, by the song on which the Gibb brothers embraced disco. They started work on the track in Miami before the album sessions continued in Quebec. “You Should Be Dancing” was a major worldwide hit and a US No.1, before becoming part of the album, and the film, that soundtracked the group’s reinvention. The next chapter,...
How Deep Is Your Love
The history-rewriting success of the Saturday Night Feverera made the Bee Gees world champions in a way that neither they nor anyone could ever have conceived. Yet the song that heralded the soundtrack that married the Bee Gees to the disco movement forever was not a dance number at all, but one of their best-loved ballads. Barry Gibb has called “How Deep Is Your Love” his own favorite song by the group, and in Christmas week 1977, it started three weeks atop the Hot 100 en route to a Grammy....
Stayin’ Alive
The song that is synonymous with the images of a white-suited John Travolta strutting his stuff in the force of nature that was Saturday Night Fever. With Barry’s falsetto now in full effect, the group had an unstoppable glide in their stride that took “Stayin’ Alive” into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It also took the song to No.1 for four weeks in America, the second of a spectacular six consecutive US chart-toppers that, at the time, equaled a chart record held by The Beatles.
You Win Again
1979’s “Love You Inside Out” became the Bee Gees’ sixth No. 1 in 18 months (with a total of 20 weeks at the summit). While their legend continued to grow in the ensuing decades, things were never quite the same again in terms of hit singles. But in the UK, throughout Europe, and beyond, 1987 brought a reunion with Arif Mardin and an emotional return to the top of the charts with the slow-building “You Win Again.” It reached the UK peak 20 years almost to the week since they had first done so...
This Is Where I Came In
The brothers reached the UK Top 20 as a group for the final time with a song appropriately titled to sum up their incredible durability in the annals of pop. “This Is Where I Came In” was the sole single from what, sadly, became their final album, after which Maurice passed away in 2003 and Robin in 2012. The Bee Gees’ collective name may no longer appear on new compositions, but their songs will be part of the fabric of pop music forever. Listen to the best Bee Gees songs on Apple Music and...
