Bee Gees

First Donna Summer...now Robin Gibb, co-founder of 'The Bee Gees'.  Robin Gibb lost his battle with colon cancer on Sunday at the age of 62--following twin brother, Maurice, who died in 2003.   Another great singer dying too young.  Robin Gibb, with his tremulous tenor that distinguished their group from the others; the group that has a signature sound which is instantly recognizable.   You know when you hear the music, it's 'The Bee Gees."   They quickly became one of the most loved and listened to pop/disco groups from the 1960's to present day.   'The Bee Gees' never wanted to be identified as a disco group, but most of us began to take notice from the 1977 movie, 'Saturday Night Fever.'    Their great songs from the movie, "Stayin Alive", "Night Fever", and "How Deep is Your Love" made the movie soundtrack album number 1 on the charts for 24 weeks.  I was one of those teenagers that played that album over and over again and again.  I am so glad and so lucky 'The Bee Gees' played the music that shaped my life.
