Spot on. They did a few covers of Islands, but it was meant for Kenny and Dolly. but like so much of their post disco music, songs were written for or interpreted by other artists. The Gibb brothers were nothing if not generous with their talent.
Country album? Barry's duet album Greenfields, a tribute to his brothers, was a country style album presenting the bee gees many hits sung by Barry and Dolly Parton (words), this song with Olivia Newton John, and many many more. It was released in 2020 or 21, not sure, and topped the charts in the UK and Oz, among others, and won the UK best Americana album for the year. Only great stuff from these musical wonders.
They Lay it on me, Country roads, Hold her in your hand to name a few. Barry did Greenfields 2021 where songs from Bee Gees catalog were sang by him and several country artists including Dolly Parton on Words. ❤❤❤
In 1983, the Bee Gees didn't only present Kenny and Dolly with the global glory of “Islands In The Stream.” They gave Rogers a whole album of songs, produced by Barry as Eyes That See In The Dark, a country No. 1 LP on which all three brothers also sang.
Barry also had his own demo version of the entire album. Used to be available on iTunes. I actually like his demo version better than the Kenny Rogers release but I do love both albums.
Barry wrote all 10 tracks on Eyes That See in The Dark, Mo helped with 8 & Robin 5. Also, Barry sang backing vocals on 9 tracks (including Islands in the Stream), the twins on 1.
@@kthor Not so surprising Barry and Mo were the ones who lived full-time in the USA and were also the greater Country fans. Robin was more into Soul and R&B but when asked could turn his hand to anything.
@@HeatherMyfanwyTylerGreey When Barry was approached to do albums for others, Robin was still living almost full-time in the US. I'm sure Barry also chose which brother(s) would work best to help write for each artist, as they were his projects.
Harri listen to Lay it on me, Maurice Sings and Barry is his backing singer, Robin is the dancer, if you can concentrate on the song for Robins dancing you are doing well..😂
I don't think they did a country album but they wrote for country singers such as Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton and Celine Dion. They did write an album for Kenny Rogers. By the way they wrote 'Islands in the stream.' Oh as for Classical have a listen to 'The lonely Violin' also ' The 'Seven Seas Symphony'.
And to answer your question, they did some country-flavored songs here and there, especially early on, but not a full country album as a groupi. But Barry put out an album a couple years ago called Greenfields, of duets that are covers of Bee Gees songs in bluegrass/country style. It includes this song with Barry and Olivia. Also includes Words with Barry and Dolly Parton. Some real gems in there!!!
From 1979, this was the B side of "Too Much Heaven" written by Barry for his wife. His beautiful vocals deliver the lyrics of unconditional love that are poetic and heartfelt. Stephen Stills on bass and the beautiful orchestral arrangement adds to the grandeur of this tune. The strings, the horns, the percussion supply the emotional weight to this love song. Always so beautiful. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Brandon. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada. 🇨🇦
This was sung by their youngest brother Andy Gibb. It was originally done by Andy and Olivia Newton John for the Eurovision song contest. Andy had a solo carrier and was not a part of Bee Gees

Just beautiful this version goosebumps and tears 💜 Andy and ONJ is such an amazing duet and gives the song a def feeling of love because of their chemistry 😍 Always hoped that the two would of been a couple 💟 😮 A must see Harri when you get a chance and also please react to midnight special of bee gees - Beatles medley it is So Amazing ! Take Care
@@LizzieRD I surely know how old they both were and age has nothing to do with romance if two people are in Love and choose to be together ! Obviously they were close friends and I said I hoped he would of had her as a partner because she was an amazing person - maybe things would of been different for Andy
Mo's amazing solo country singles "Railroad" and "Lay It On Me"!!❤❤❤ are my favorites. And Barry's 2016ish album "Greenfields" made with a bunch of Nashville Country music stars! Barry & Mo were bigger fans of country music than Robin. And Mo dabbled in writing scores for movies while Robin wrote a "The Titanic Requiem" with his son before Robin Sr. died. So yes!- they did create in the classical genre!!
This was a B side to the song Too Much Heaven, and Barry wrote it, but the first time I heard it was a duet with Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton John, and that is a beautiful track also. The Bee Gees were very versatile. Their early work in the 60s, and then their reinventioin in the 70s and then, they just did whatever they wanted and wr ote songs for other artists too. Fantastic.
Barry's pronunciation of the word "pocket" gives me the chills. I love this song. He and Olivia Newton John did this as a duet on his Greenfields album (an anthology of Gibb Brothers songs re-imagined and done with country artists) in 2021. Their "Marley Purt Drive" from the 1969 "Odessa" album is total fun with a country rock sound. You mentioned classical music. Try listening to "Be Who You Are" from the "Living Eyes" album. The long intro is a lovely orchestral section, and Barry's natural voice throughout is magnificent. The lyrics make you sit up and take notice. To me, it feels like singing about the anguish of what happened to them with the crazy backlash from "Saturday Night Fever."
The Osmonds also covered this, as did Conway Twitty, whose version hit number one on the country chart. Edit: Actually, I just read that the Osmonds recorded it first, on an album produced by Maurice Gibb.
There are so many awesome things about these boys, but I think my favorite thing about them is their versitility. 24/7 Bee Gees and you'd never get bored with the variety of music.
Barry Gibb wrote this song. Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton John did a beautiful duet of it and it was Conway Twitty’s 25th number 1 song. Love the song, had never heard Bee Gees doing it, everything they do is great. Thanks for this one
Barry and Maurice were fans of country music, Robin not so much. You could put together a compilation album that leaned country, but there never was a Bee Gees release of a country music album. Maurice did a solo album, The Loner, around 1970 that leans country/country rock but it was never released, available on RUclips. Maurice also Check out Love is Blind, written by Barry and Maurice, but never released. It’s lovely. A good demo version is here on YT. Maurice’s single Hold Her In Your Hand is a country waltz. Barry’s album Greenfields, which came out a couple years ago, reworks Bee Gee songs as duets with major country artists. After Johnny Cash died, Barry owned his house for a few years and was renovating it, but it was destroyed in a fire.
Maurice is at his best doing Country!!! Try HOLD HER IN YOUR HANDS and WILDFLOWER. Barry released his album of demos for the album he wrote and produced for Kenny Rogers called Eyes That See In The Dark. I prefer his demos to Kenney’s finished songs. Another of Barry’s Country demos that I love is LOVE IS BLIND. He released DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL as a bonus on his 2016 album, and had a #1 album in 2021 with GREENFIELDS, an album of Gibb songs recorded as duets with top Country artists. Another of his hidden gems is the Roy Orbison - Larry Gatlin duet INDIAN SUMMER. If I could get a message to Barry, I would request a compilation album of the Country songs with a booklet full of info on all the covers by others, etc. Thanks for another wonderful reaction!!
Omgoodness! Another gem for my country playlist. I have never heard this before😮. Thank you, Harri and Brandon. I would have been totally in love with this & would have played it continuously! ❤The harmonies are so sweet, tender, and soft. 😊
Classical…try Make it like a memory with Barbra Streisand. Barry wrote and produced it and that song goes from one end of the spectrum to the other with classical music at the end….
One country song the I really like is Country Lanes with Robin on lead. And regarding classical Music, yes they made at least one called Seven Seas Symphony from 1969. Robin made the Album Titanic Reqieum just before he died hwich is also a classical album.
They did do classic "Seven Seas Symphony" by the Bee Gees on Odessa album. Barry did Greenfields which was duets with country artists where they did more country versions of Bee Gees songs.
While on the subject of country music and the beegees maybe you could try Hold Her In Your Hand by Maurice Gibb......it's definitely worth a listen in my book......
Regarding classical music: Robin and his son RJ wrote a tribute for the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. The Titanic Requiem premiered just a month before Robin’s death. He was to have been one of the performers but was to ill, so Robin-John (RJ) introduced a recording in his place. (Reviews were not very good, but what little I heard of it online in 2012 I liked.
How often were reviews good for The Bee Gees and where are all of those reviewers now, LOL? It's like any art form, if someone likes a painting or a song or an LP, who cares about the reviews? 😁
I think Barry sang this song for his pretty wife.Somehow there is a little bit like what he said in the documentarythat the first sight he saw Linda and fell in love with her.😊❤
I think that they would have been successful whatever they sung, they were just great, they got a little hung up with the disco music but they were very successful, I loved it after things went a little flat and they came up with I don't want to be alone and when the bell tolls,
Barry made a last country album...uh not actually made with the presence of the twins brothers... Greenfields...was the last album that Barry made with various singers... check with it 😅🎉
That was with Conway Twitty a huge #1 hit in the US Country Charts 1979 - Barry is a multiversum genius 👍🔥the Brothers Gibb Songbook Volume 1 Greenfield recorded in 2021 from Barry with Americas biggest country stars my favorite there was ruclips.net/video/I12Ng0fz2ak/видео.html 🔥
Hi Harri! To say that the BeeGees had a range in style is definitely an understatement. You spoke of classical, there is the Odessa album, which was originally going to be titled "An American Opera" gorgeous! Then they had some psychedelic music, try "Deeply Deeply Me" it's amazingly wild! Have fun!
Unfortunately, the Bee Gees did not produce a country album, but did produce a few country songs from various albums: "Sweetheart" and "Dont Forget to Remember" from the 1970 album Cucumber Castle; "South Dakota Morning", "While I Play" and "Come Home Johnny Bridie" from the 1973 album Life in a Tin Cann; "Home Again Rivers" from the unreleased album A Kick in the Had Is Worth Eight in the Pants, which should have been released in 1973; "Come On Over" from the 1975 album "Main Cource" and "Hold Her in Your Hand", a single by Maurice Gibb from 1984.
Greenfields are new releases of old songs in country style with other artists. Classical? Robin Gibb wrote Requiem for the Titanic with his son. Great reactions to the greatest group
Oh my, what they could have done if only time permitted. What gifted boys they were, all the way through their time on earth. I thank God I was able to hear their songs, see their handsome faces, and be so fortunate to have watched the many videos that I have. I am one blessed gal. Thank you! Deme in Bama.😊
Barry said that Country Music is one of his loves.Andy also did this song with Olivia Newton John. After writing "Islands in the Stream"for Dolly Parton and Kenny Roger's The BeeGees also did their version. Their voices works well singing country music. Lionel Richie also does country songs well. Check out the Commodores "Sail On".
Patty-To answer your question, they have a piece called Seventh Seas Symphony. That's what it is, a symphony. Mo wrote it. Robin and his son composed a piece called Titanic Requiem. It was released posthmusly. There is one song that is sung by Robin called Don't Cry Alone. You may cry. Robin at his finest.
So the reason they would have never aone a whole country album is that Robin wasn't really into it even if maurice and barry like it so i believe they had sprinkling country song in some of their early albums and the last album recorded by Barry was duets with several different country artists artists it's called greenfields and its a recording of some of the bee gees songs done in a country vibe .
They could have done a C/W LP regardless of whether Robin liked it or not. Actually Robin sang lead or co-lead on a few C/W style songs "Home again Rivers", "Come on over", "Road to Alaska" but I think Mo's style and voice was best suited to country (loved "Hold her in your hand") and Barry certainly loved C/W.
They also wrote "Come on over" for Olivia Newton John. As far as classical? "Be Who You Are" is right there and I think it was on the Odyssa album they had a song with no singing just classical music.
Bob Dylan was once asked " does it bother you that not everyone likes your music?" He replied " not everyone likes your music, unless you are the Bee gees"
Yes they did. Plus they wrote Kenny Rogers album Eyes that see in the dark. And you asked about classical. Robin and his son RJ wrote the Requiem for the Titanic amazing. I can't remember the name of their album but mo did a lot of country solos on their early albums.
Kenny Rogers recorded quite a few songs they wrote and they recorded some country themselves. They could do anything. Please react to Alive. Kiss Of Life.

Ahh! So you are listening to a Barry Gibb song, & one he wrote at the mic! Imagine how many #1 Hits he could've had on his own?!🤔Humm, if only he hadn't shared so many songs with his brothers & others! Like he's said, he enjoyed collaborating with others & seeing HIS songs top the charts!
@@kthor - Your reading comprehension is poor. I said "NEVER LISTENED TO THE WHOLE SONG" as soon as I heard who was the lead and because I'm not a big C/W fan. I didn't know the song but it said THE BEE GEES so I clicked on it yet YOU listen to "The Voices of ROBIN GIBB", obviously only about ROBIN GIBB, who you despise. You will also note, I made no disparaging remarks about the song or the singer except I dislike most C/W. Also no childish emojis. Your BS about Barry sharing HIS songs! Gimme a break. The twins did nothing? BS. How many #1's did he have on his own as a solo artist? Those he AND HIS BROTHERS wrote for others would not have been solo hits for him especially in the 80's because he and his brothers were blacklisted due to the disco association and his endless overuse of falsetto that millions of people mocked. eg the Hee Bee Gee Bees. Note again, no personal slurs and insults. As Peta said about your comments, see a psychiatrist. Get a hobby.
@@kthor - My reply did not appear AGAIN. Ahh!, So I DID NOT listen to a Barry Gibb lead. Read my comment again. You lack reading comprehension either accidentally or intentionally. I said - "Never listened to the whole song because I'm not a C/W fan". I did not remember the song and it said Bee Gees so I clicked on it. Turned it off a few seconds in when I realised it was C/W. Try reading the comment before soiling your shorts. Did I say anything disparaging about Barry in that comment? Hmm? Look closely. Not a word.YOU are the one who inserted his name. I did not, only that I'm not a C/W fan. Paranoid much? Do you find Russian spies in your potted plants? As for sharing HIS songs, gimme a break. His brothers did nothing? How many solo #1 hits did Barry have on his own? After 1980 especially he certainly had none nor could they even perform as a group because the incessant overuse of the falsetto and the unfair disco backlash blacklisted them and got them mocked, eg the Hee Bee Gee Bees. Even years later on SNL. Many of "his" songs at the top of the charts for others were co-written by his brothers, one or both...oh sure he was generous and put their names on them out of sheer love and altruism....eg Islands in the Stream, Guitly, Immortality, Emotion, Woman in love, Come on over, Chain reaction, Heartbreaker, to name a few. Of course you purposely listen to videos like "Voices of Robin Gibb" (who you hate) solely to criticise. Oh, that's different? Notice I used no childish emojis, did not attack anyone, did not issue any personal slurs.
Reading comprehension is a good thing! Most reactors do put the artist & songs title in the description. Of course Barry's the sole or primary writer of most of their catalog. Especially after their brief split, Robin's writing was never the same again. He seemed to have lost something & wasn't able to get it back. Could that be why he never played an instrument on an album again? Robin needed Barry wayyyy more than Barry ever needed him. That's been proven by #1 hits, album sales & those wanting to work with Barry after the disco backlash, which had nothing to do with falsetto. And yes, at times Barry was very generous in giving credit to those who had little to do with songwriting, including his brothers & Albhy Galuten. Which is why Albhy's referred to his many years working with him as the Barry Gibb Gift Society.☺️

Regarding classical music: Robin and his son RJ wrote a tribute for the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. The Titanic Requiem premiered just a month before Robin’s death. He was to have been one of the performers but was to ill, so Robin-John (RJ) introduced a recording in his place. (Reviews were not very good, but what little I heard of it online in 2012 I liked.
How often were reviews good for The Bee Gees and where are all of those reviewers now, LOL? It's like any art form, if someone likes a painting or a song or an LP, who cares about the reviews? 😁
Didn't hear you say, but Barry wrote this song. Great reaction, as always.
They wrote some nice country songs in the 60's & early 70's. "Marley Purt Drive" & "Give Your Best To Your friends" are my favs.
Love Marley Purt Drive.🎼
Conway Twitty covered this song in 1980
I think Barry sang this song for his pretty wife.Somehow there is a little bit like what he said in the documentarythat the first sight he saw Linda and fell in love with her.😊❤
I think that Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton John sang this as a duet. Was a hit for both. Andy Gibb is the Bee Gees little brother.
This may be my all-time favorite!
And Johnny Rodriguez's cover is a close second!
@@janicetrimmell6897Conway Twitty has a version also.
I think that they would have been successful whatever they sung, they were just great, they got a little hung up with the disco music but they were very successful, I loved it after things went a little flat and they came up with I don't want to be alone and when the bell tolls,
Barry made a last country album...uh not actually made with the presence of the twins brothers... Greenfields...was the last album that Barry made with various singers... check with it 😅🎉
That was with Conway Twitty a huge #1 hit in the US Country Charts 1979 - Barry is a multiversum genius 👍🔥the Brothers Gibb Songbook Volume 1 Greenfield recorded in 2021 from Barry with Americas biggest country stars my favorite there was ruclips.net/video/I12Ng0fz2ak/видео.html 🔥
Beautiful
Hi Harri! To say that the BeeGees had a range in style is definitely an understatement. You spoke of classical, there is the Odessa album, which was originally going to be titled "An American Opera" gorgeous! Then they had some psychedelic music, try "Deeply Deeply Me" it's amazingly wild! Have fun!
Bee Gees "I'm satisfied".
Thanks Harri I haven’t heard this song in years, I had forgotten all about it. Shame on me
Do this song with Barry and Olivia which is probably the last thing she ever did musically
Another tender and lovely song sung by Barry,our great singer and songwriter 😊❤❤ handsome eldest Gibb brother.❤❤
Unfortunately, the Bee Gees did not produce a country album, but did produce a few country songs from various albums: "Sweetheart" and "Dont Forget to Remember" from the 1970 album Cucumber Castle; "South Dakota Morning", "While I Play" and "Come Home Johnny Bridie" from the 1973 album Life in a Tin Cann; "Home Again Rivers" from the unreleased album A Kick in the Had Is Worth Eight in the Pants, which should have been released in 1973; "Come On Over" from the 1975 album "Main Cource" and "Hold Her in Your Hand", a single by Maurice Gibb from 1984.
Greenfields are new releases of old songs in country style with other artists. Classical? Robin Gibb wrote Requiem for the Titanic with his son. Great reactions to the greatest group
Oh my, what they could have done if only time permitted. What gifted boys they were, all the way through their time on earth. I thank God I was able to hear their songs, see their handsome faces, and be so fortunate to have watched the many videos that I have. I am one blessed gal. Thank you! Deme in Bama.😊
Yes, they have classical music, quite a bit, listen to "seven seas symphony" or Robin's musical titanic
Or from their Living Eyes album, Be Who You Are....which is a masterpiece written & sung by Barry.🎼
Barry said that Country Music is one of his loves.Andy also did this song with Olivia Newton John.
After writing "Islands in the Stream"for Dolly Parton and Kenny Roger's The BeeGees also did their version.
Their voices works well singing country music.
Lionel Richie also does country songs well.
Check out the Commodores "Sail On".
❤❤❤please react to CHILDREN OF THE WORLD by the BEEGEES thanks
Patty-To answer your question, they have a piece called Seventh Seas Symphony. That's what it is, a symphony. Mo wrote it. Robin and his son composed a piece called Titanic Requiem. It was released posthmusly. There is one song that is sung by Robin called Don't Cry Alone. You may cry. Robin at his finest.
To be fair, Seven Seas Symphony was written by all 3.
The Bee Gees sang background vocals on one Kenny Rogers albums
Barry sang background vocals on all tracks (including Islands in the Stream), whereas Mo sang on 2 & Robin on 1.
So the reason they would have never aone a whole country album is that Robin wasn't really into it even if maurice and barry like it so i believe they had sprinkling country song in some of their early albums and the last album recorded by Barry was duets with several different country artists artists it's called greenfields and its a recording of some of the bee gees songs done in a country vibe .
They could have done a C/W LP regardless of whether Robin liked it or not. Actually Robin sang lead or co-lead on a few C/W style songs "Home again Rivers", "Come on over", "Road to Alaska" but I think Mo's style and voice was best suited to country (loved "Hold her in your hand") and Barry certainly loved C/W.
They also wrote "Come on over" for Olivia Newton John. As far as classical? "Be Who You Are" is right there and I think it was on the Odyssa album they had a song with no singing just classical music.
Be Who You Are is a great song, written & sung by Barry!
Bob Dylan was once asked " does it bother you that not everyone likes your music?" He replied " not everyone likes your music, unless you are the Bee gees"
Yes they did. Plus they wrote Kenny Rogers album Eyes that see in the dark. And you asked about classical. Robin and his son RJ wrote the Requiem for the Titanic amazing. I can't remember the name of their album but mo did a lot of country solos on their early albums.
Actually Robin was working on a Requiem, (I think for a church?)which his son finished after Robin’s death.
They wrote it
Barry wrote it.
This song was Conway Twitty's 25th number 1 hit on the Country charts. His version was released in 1980.
It would've been so much better if Robin had sung this song with his beautiful vulnerable voice.
It's a Barry ballad through & through. Not to mention, it was written by Barry!😂
Beautiful Song
Classical song was 'The Seven Seas Symphony'. Odessa album.
You should check out “Evening Star”. Barry and Maurice, wonderful!
Kenny Rogers recorded quite a few songs they wrote and they recorded some country themselves. They could do anything. Please react to
Alive.
Kiss Of Life.
barry just started singing country recently
Sound like the top pros they were but right out of Nashville here
They have Cherry Red, Melody Fair, Butterflies, Islands In The Stream...❤🎉
Love Cherry Red & Melody Fair!
👏👏👏
Be Who You Are was classical
wow, that was nice. first time hearing it.
They sing lots of types of songs ,,...disco is one a tiny part of their catalogue
Sounds like a Conway Twitty song
Conway Twitty had a #1 hit with it!!!
React to Robin sing Ellan vannin
Conway Twitty did a cover of this song, you should check it out ❤❤❤

Never listened to the whole song because I'm not a C/W fan. They did do some C/W style songs but not my style.
Ahh! So you are listening to a Barry Gibb song, & one he wrote at the mic! Imagine how many #1 Hits he could've had on his own?!🤔Humm, if only he hadn't shared so many songs with his brothers & others! Like he's said, he enjoyed collaborating with others & seeing HIS songs top the charts!
@@kthor - Your reading comprehension is poor. I said "NEVER LISTENED TO THE WHOLE SONG" as soon as I heard who was the lead and because I'm not a big C/W fan. I didn't know the song but it said THE BEE GEES so I clicked on it yet YOU listen to "The Voices of ROBIN GIBB", obviously only about ROBIN GIBB, who you despise. You will also note, I made no disparaging remarks about the song or the singer except I dislike most C/W. Also no childish emojis.
Your BS about Barry sharing HIS songs! Gimme a break. The twins did nothing? BS. How many #1's did he have on his own as a solo artist? Those he AND HIS BROTHERS wrote for others would not have been solo hits for him especially in the 80's because he and his brothers were blacklisted due to the disco association and his endless overuse of falsetto that millions of people mocked. eg the Hee Bee Gee Bees. Note again, no personal slurs and insults.
As Peta said about your comments, see a psychiatrist. Get a hobby.
@@kthor - My reply did not appear AGAIN.
Ahh!, So I DID NOT listen to a Barry Gibb lead. Read my comment again. You lack reading comprehension either accidentally or intentionally. I said - "Never listened to the whole song because I'm not a C/W fan". I did not remember the song and it said Bee Gees so I clicked on it. Turned it off a few seconds in when I realised it was C/W. Try reading the comment before soiling your shorts. Did I say anything disparaging about Barry in that comment? Hmm? Look closely. Not a word.YOU are the one who inserted his name. I did not, only that I'm not a C/W fan. Paranoid much? Do you find Russian spies in your potted plants?
As for sharing HIS songs, gimme a break. His brothers did nothing? How many solo #1 hits did Barry have on his own? After 1980 especially he certainly had none nor could they even perform as a group because the incessant overuse of the falsetto and the unfair disco backlash blacklisted them and got them mocked, eg the Hee Bee Gee Bees. Even years later on SNL. Many of "his" songs at the top of the charts for others were co-written by his brothers, one or both...oh sure he was generous and put their names on them out of sheer love and altruism....eg Islands in the Stream, Guitly, Immortality, Emotion, Woman in love, Come on over, Chain reaction, Heartbreaker, to name a few.
Of course you purposely listen to videos like "Voices of Robin Gibb" (who you hate) solely to criticise. Oh, that's different?
Notice I used no childish emojis, did not attack anyone, did not issue any personal slurs.
Reading comprehension is a good thing! Most reactors do put the artist & songs title in the description. Of course Barry's the sole or primary writer of most of their catalog. Especially after their brief split, Robin's writing was never the same again. He seemed to have lost something & wasn't able to get it back. Could that be why he never played an instrument on an album again? Robin needed Barry wayyyy more than Barry ever needed him. That's been proven by #1 hits, album sales & those wanting to work with Barry after the disco backlash, which had nothing to do with falsetto. And yes, at times Barry was very generous in giving credit to those who had little to do with songwriting, including his brothers & Albhy Galuten. Which is why Albhy's referred to his many years working with him as the Barry Gibb Gift Society.☺️
