Singer, Vocalist, Songwriter. Founding member of the seminal music trio, The Bee Gees. Best known for their contributions to the multi-platinum soundtrack of the motion picture "Saturday Night Fever" (1977). They played a significant role in popularizing the Disco genre of the mid to late 1970s. Born the fraternal twin brother of Maurice (Robin is older by 35 minutes) in Douglas, on the Isle of Man, British Isles, the son of Hughie Gibb, a big band leader and drummer, his family relocated to Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia shortly after the birth of their younger brother Andy. Along with older brother Barry, Robin and Maurice, influenced by their father's musical background, they formed their ensemble and from ingenuity called themselves the B.G.s (Brothers Gibb). They scored their first hit "Spicks and Specks" (1966) and one year later in 1967, they returned to England and yielded the songs: "New York Mining Disaster 1941" (1967), "Massachusetts" (1967), "To Love Someday" (1967), "I've Gotta Get a Message to You" (1968), "I Started a Joke" (1969) and "Lonely Days" (1970)". They achieved their first number one hit with "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" (1971). Following a brief separation, the brothers reunited and experienced a career-changing sound and style under the influence of producer Arif Mardin and with later manager Robert Stigwood. The first result would be the album "Main Course" (1975), a total departure from their earlier music sound, the songs "Jive Talkin'", "Nights on Broadway" and "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)" became instant classics. "Night Fever", "Stayin' Alive" and "How Deep Is Your Love" raised them to a greater plateau. Following the album "Spirits Having Flown" (1979) which featured "Tragedy", "Too Much Heaven" and "Love You Inside Out", Disco began to wane and for the most part of the 1980s the Bee Gees virtually disappeared from the music scene. In 1989, the album "One" was released followed with a successful tour. In 1994 and 1997, The Bee Gees were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, respectively.
