#THE BEE GEES PATCH#

The resulting album, Children of the World, was another big hit, spawning another number one single, 'You Should Be Dancing'. When it came time to produce their next album, Mardin was not available, so the band began producing themselves.

In addition to providing them with their first number one hit in four years, 'Jive Talkin'', the album also featured Barry's first attempts at singing falsetto, a sound the group is heavily identified with today. They finally saw commercial success again with their next album Main Course, also produced by Mardin. Natural, which saw them infusing their trademark sound with elements of R&B though the album was not a big seller, it did show that the group was starting to find themselves again artistically. Deciding they needed a change in their sound, they teamed up with Arif Mardin and recorded the album Mr. After that, however, their commercial fortunes dropped sharply, as their next few albums sold very poorly. Not long after their reunion, the Bee Gees recorded two of their biggest hits, 'Lonely Days' and 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart', the latter providing them with their first US #1 hit. The three decided to reunite and give the Bee Gees another try, strictly as a trio this time.

Then in late 1970, Barry and Maurice managed to patch up their rift with Robin. In addition to the Gibb brothers, the group also included guitarist Vince Melouney and drummer Colin Peterson. The band at this point actually consisted of five members. These songs and several others today are staples on oldies stations. Their first international hit was 'New York Mining Disaster 1941' (1967) other hits from this period include 'To Love Somebody', 'Holiday', and 'Massachusetts' (the last of these being their first UK #1 hit).

They first came to prominence in the late 1960s as a harmonic rock group, characterized mainly by their three-part harmonies led by Robin Gibb's vibrato. However, they were planning on adding him in the '80s, but his death put a stop to that.) British by birth, the brothers were living in Australia when they began their musical careers, though they had moved back to Britain by the time they hit it big. (Youngest brother Andy Gibb is commonly believed to have been a member of the Bee Gees, but he never was. The Bee Gees for most of their history have consisted of twin brothers Robin and Maurice Gibb and older brother Barry.

The Bee Gees name is commonly believed to be short for Brothers Gibb, though it's actually a reference to Australian DJ Bill Gates (no, not that Bill Gates) and promoter Bill Goode, two men who played key roles in launching the group's career. They first formed in 1958, rising to prominence in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and were especially popular in the disco era of the mid-to-late 1970s. The Bee Gees were a music group consisting of brothers Maurice, Barry, and Robin Gibb.
