    This is incredible. In just seven years' time after this, they had their first UK number one hit with Massachusetts. True geniuses were the Gibb brothers. RIP, Maurice, Robin and Andy. Keep shining, Barry.

    This type of vocal blend is only achievable by singing with family members. The Bee Gees were incredible. One of my go-to groups for sure.

    They had no idea how iconic and life changing they would be even 50 years later. They have such beautiful voices and so different. Look at these kids and think they’re going to give us The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, words, I started a joke, too much heaven etc. you can hear how their voices evolved

    English emigrants to Australia who would go on to become one of the biggest musical acts of the 20th Century. 300 million albums sold worldwide. Nine US number one hits, 42 US top 40 hits, Saturday Night Fever sold 45 million copies worldwide including 14 million copies sold in the US. Their legacy and legend will never go away.

      It was August 12, 1960, when the three brothers were invited to sing on the Desmond and the Channel 9 Pins Australian variety show.
      At the time, Barry was 13 years old - a towering teenager beside twins Maurice and Robin, who were only 10 years old.
      And yet their harmonies sounded just as wondrous as they did for the decades of music that followed, as they performed an original song penned by Barry, 'Time is Passing By'.

    Lyrics (as I hear them, apart from the intro):
    I’ll swing along, just sing along
    ‘Cause time is passing by
    I’ll drift along and breeze along
    Just like a butterfly
    ‘Cause as long as I’m livin’
    I’ll always be givin’
    You my love
    I’ll love you so you’ll never know
    Meaning of a sigh (🤔...although I'm not sure I got this phrase right at 1:25)
    'Cause when you smile at me you’ll see
    The love light in my eye
    ‘Cause as long as I’m livin’
    I’ll always be givin’
    You my love
    You’ll always be the one
    The only one
    My heart will ever know
    So…
    I’ll swing along, just sing along
    ‘Cause time is passing by
    I’ll drift along and breeze along
    Just like a butterfly
    ‘Cause as long as I’m livin’
    I’ll always be givin’
    You my love
    You’ll always be the one
    The only one
    My heart will ever know
    So…
    I’ll swing along, just sing along
    ‘Cause time is passing by
    I’ll drift along and breeze along
    Just like a butterfly
    ‘Cause as long as I’m livin’
    I’ll always be givin’
    You my love
    You my love
