    For the musicians: I had to go figure out what the synth is doing in Jive Talking for myself. It's in 7/4 over a 4/4 groove. It repeats the phrase four times and resolves on the "1" when the vocals come back in. Freaking brilliant.

Robin also wrote the lyrics for "Stayin Alive" on his plane ticket on the Concorde after reading a newspaper about violence in NYC. It was a societal commentary.

    For me growing up in the 60's The BEE GEES were even more formative than the BEATLES. The span of their musical topics was relentlessly original and I recognized them as TRUE SOUL SINGERS as they rarely, if ever recorded a song they did not compose themselves. Add to this the incredible vocalists who either had hit records with their compositions or branded the original in a definitive new light. The Beatles were a soaring comet whose lifespan was cut short, whereas the BEE GEES shown brightly for 6 decades and their songs will be played for all eternity and reimagined by younger artist perhaps who today are unaware of their musical genius.

    I’m a fan of Barry now, you did a great job interviewing him. I grew up in the 80s but I think the Bee Gees were the sound of the 70s and they were one of the first bands that started to introduce the world to electronic music like in the song “Jive talking”. Today the most popular music is all created with electronic instruments except the voices.

    I think they were distinctive and innovative. Usually real Artists (like Bee Gees, Beatles, Abba... etc) create innovative music, which is weird and odd for most people, but it's called innovation, that's the whole point of being an Artist, you keep creating and reinventing yourself.

I've been listening to them since the 60's on up so I know the feeling of the changes they went through over the years in sound tracks ect: everytime I listen to any of their song's I can feel the lyrics and relate to the song. I know when I'm not feeling well I listen to music and I start to feel better, I was born into music by my Dad he was inducted into the Country music hall of fame and honor in Macon Ga singer song writer writer in 1987 so anytime I needed to relax I'd sleep to music. Brothers Bee Gees knew exactly what they were doing every step of the way in the music industry. I seen them in Atlanta Ga in 1975 on 2nd row they were so Amazing oh yeah I love these Guy's so much and I miss Andy, Maurice and Robin Gibbs I loved them too.

    I like that Barry finally recognizes the fact that they did falsetto on "Please Read Me" which is a great song, by the way. The narrative was that "Nights on Broadway" was the first falsetto- but I agree with the larger point that the "Nights on Broadway" falsetto was substantively different as it was not part of a harmony and led to it being used for lead vocals, like on "Fanny be Tender".

    This man and his Brothers were genius's , They have provided the musical backdrop to countless people of ny generation, from the Disco to smooching in the dark with a beautiful woman the music has a haunting quality that will never be surpassed as far as I am concerned, If there is a Heaven then The BeeGee's will be there to serenade us with their gorgeous talent .

    The Bee Gees is my first conscious recognition of great sounds in music, like harmonies in voices and chords on instruments. I was 7 at the time.

      I agree it would be lovely to have a book where he details the back stories of music tracks and periods of the brother's career, along the same vein as he did in this interview. It would be fascinating and an amazing addition to any Bee Gees fan's collection. ❤️

He had to fly to Scotland to be with his dying mother during recording work on Stayin' Alive in that French chalet-studio, so the engineers Albhy and Carl selected a part of the drumming for Night Fever which already was "in the can."
