Whilst recording 'Staying Alive', the follow-up to 'Night Fever', they found themselves temporarily without a drummer. There's a little trivia fact about the Bee Gees, which has been written about elsewhere. Maurice Gibb joined the late Andy Gibb, and the remaining duo decided to stop using the Bee Gees name in 2003. After a fallow 1980s they re-emerged in the 1990s as a goldmine for teen-pop bands, with 'How Deep Is Your Love' and 'Tragedy' being recycled a couple of times over. The Bee Gees need no introduction they started out as a Beatles-esque 60s band, releasing a bunch of morbid ballady singles and a splendid concept double-album called 'Odessa', and then they went quiet before exploding in the late-1970s as a white soul/disco band/songwriting team. However, as time passed, they decided to perform occasionally under the Bee Gees banner until brother Robin Gibb died in May 2012. The group's name was retired by the remaining brothers after Maurice died in January 2003.

They were all given CBEs (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2001-2002 New Year's Honours List. In 1994 Robin Gibb, Barry Gibb & Maurice Gibb were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, in 1997 the Band was inducted into Rock And Roll Hall of Fame (Performer). The three brothers co-wrote most of their hits, and they said that they felt like they became 'one person' when they were writing. Barry sang lead on many songs, in an R&B falsetto introduced in the disco years Robin provided the clear vibrato lead that was a hallmark of their pre-disco music Maurice sang high and low harmonies throughout their career. No matter the style, the Bee Gees sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognizable as brothers, their voices blended perfectly, in the same way that The Everly Brothers and Beach Boys did. The multiple award-winning group was successful for most of its forty years of recording music, but it had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a harmonic 'soft rock' act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as the foremost stars of the disco music era in the late 1970s. Their worldwide success came when they returned to the UK and signed with producer Robert Stigwood. They were born on the Isle of Man to English parents, lived in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, England, UK and during their childhood years moved to Brisbane, Australia, where they began their musical careers.
