About

The Bee Gees were a British-Australian pop group formed in 1958 by brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, who grew up between Manchester and Queensland, Australia. Their three-part harmonies and Barry's distinctive falsetto drove two separate peaks of global success - as a soft-rock act in the late 1960s and as the defining voice of the disco era through the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (1977). With an estimated 120-250 million records sold, nine Billboard Hot 100 number ones, and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, they rank among the best-selling acts in music history.
