Bee Gees - Their Greatest Hits: The RecordBy Jerry McCulley
Don't look for a richly illustrated, critical essay-packed
hagiography with this 40-track, double-disc overview of the
Bee Gees recording career. In typical, telling fashion, the
Brothers Gibb have eschewed such exercises in ego inflation
and simply let the best of their remarkable body of music
speak for itself. Through it all, their familiar voices lock
together in the sort of transcendent, seemingly genetic
harmony that few singers since the Everly Brothers (early Gibb
inspirations) have managed. Beginning with the plaintive 1966
hit "New York Mining Disaster 1941," this set traces
the Gibbs' journey from successful Beatles-era balladeers to
'70s white R&B gods and the undisputed kings of disco
(we're reminded here that their shrewd metamorphosis began
with "Nights on Broadway" and "Jive
Talkin'"--long before the mega-success of "Saturday
Night Fever"). But even as that dance craze faded, again
threatening to turn the Bee Gees into pop anachronisms, the
Gibbs simply stepped out of the limelight for a while, turning
their talents to MOR hit-making for the likes of Samantha
Sang, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, and Dionne Warwick.
Those hits ("Emotion," "Heartbreaker,"
"Islands in the Stream") are featured here in modern
rerecordings by the band, along with the Streisand-Barry Gibb
duet, "Guilty." And if the Gibbs haven't had much of
an American chart presence in recent years, they remain
superstars throughout the rest of the world, a richly crafted
pop music presence that simply won't be denied.

"I have loved the Bee Gees since the mid Super70s. I am in my late 30's now. Even before the disco part of their career I had many 45's and a few albums. I even have some of the more obscure ones. I have thousands of magazine pictures, articles and posters which I collected back then and they mean a lot to me. Not many people that I know now knew I loved the Bee Gees and that they were my favourite group. I was very saddened by the death of Maurice Gibb and I feel a part of my childhood is now gone. My long lost friends that I grew up with probably thought of me when they heard on the news that one of the Bee Gees died.
Their music will be in my heart forever." --Anonymous | "I love this group probably more than I can express in words. even without the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack I still strongly believe I would love their music. I can't think of one musical group that brings back memories of the late Super70s, for me, more then the Brothers Gibb. Only Abba is pobably more identified with late Super70s pop/disco era. Not only the music of the Bee Gees but the images and posters, t-shirts and other spinoffs. Considering television in the Super70s it really surprises they didn't have a variety show or saturday morning animated/live show. Although I love the fever soundtrack my fav song is a much earlier less popular hit "Nights on Broadway" I never get tired of listening to that song." --Rick1970 | "Barry is absolutely wonderful. The first 8 track tape that my father bought was the one from the BeeGees. He had heard that the group was a mellow and wonderful group that would relax him!! He did enjoy the tape although he was not relaxed while listening because his legs and feet were too busy dancing. He could'nt dance well because 2 years earlier he had lost a foot in a riding lawnmower accident but he did not let that stop him!!! Their music will always remind of that day and my dad trying to get down." --Joy J. |
