The Bee Gees were a British-Australian pop group formed by brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, active from 1958 until Robin's death in 2012. They dominated two distinct eras: as a harmony-driven soft-rock act in the late 1960s, and then as the defining force of disco with the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (1977), which remains the best-selling soundtrack album of all time. With an estimated 120-250 million records sold and nine Billboard Hot 100 number ones, they rank among the most commercially successful acts in pop history, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
