THREE BROTHERS: THE "BEE GEES"

Once upon a time there were three famous and successful musicians. What were their names? Their first names were Barry, Robin and Maurice, and their last names were Gibb. They were three British brothers that moved to Australia during the 60’s. In this country they developed their musical careers and formed one of the most successful bands ever. This group is known worldwide as the “Bee Gees.” They started to write and compose their songs in the first half of the 60’s, so they created their first hits while they were living in Australia. I clearly remember the first time I heard them 30 years ago. (How time flies!) I had an aunt with several daughters, who had the album "Saturday Night Fever." In 1978, it was impossible to not have heard a song from this soundtrack. But before “disco” became so popular, this wonderful group already had the backing of a solid career, founded several years prior in Australia in Redcliffe, Queensland. In fact, many people today still believe that they are Australian. A good question is what the origin of the name is. The band was originally called "The Rattlesnakes" and after “Wee Johnny Hayes & the Bluecats'. They were presented to a radio station DJ named “Bill Gates”-the racing promoter Bill Goode, who watched their performance at the Brisbane racetrack. Bill Gates met them at the Gibbs’ house, where Mrs. Barbara Gibb and the Gibb Brothers were. Given this situation, Gates said he saw a lot of 'BG' insignia in the room, and that that is what they should be called. The history of this group is usually related to the time before and after its success into “disco” and the huge impact that it had on the world. The Bee Gees composed many songs, 6 of which reached # 1 in the United States during 25 of 32 consecutive weeks. However, many people still maintain their preference for the period between 1967 and 1975, but we already know that this is a matter of taste.
