About Bee Gees
The Bee Gees centered on brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, whose shared work included songwriting, production and distinctive vocal harmonies. Their 1960s records combined compact pop songs with increasingly elaborate orchestration. Main Course and Children of the World placed a stronger emphasis on rhythm and high-register vocals, followed by the new songs on Saturday Night Fever. Their group catalog continued with albums including E.S.P., One and Still Waters. The brothers' solo recordings and songs recorded by other artists have separate performing credits.
