Robin Gibb dead at 62 R.I.P.

moosie · 05-20-2012, 07:09 PM

One of the most well-known and beloved pop trios in history is down to a single member after Robin Gibb died of colorectal cancer on Sunday at the age of 62. His brother, another member of the band, died in 2003.
The Brothers Gibb — calling themselves the Bee Gees — soared to renown after the 1977 film “Saturday Night Fever” starring John Travolta was built around the group’s falsetto voices and disco songs.

In the latter part of the 1970s, the British-born Bee Gees “dominated dance floors and airwaves. With their matching white suits, soaring high harmonies and polished, radio-friendly records, they remain one of the essential touchstones to that ultra-commercial era,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame says on its website.

is it too soon to make a 'staying alive' comment?

First Donna Summer, now Robin Gibb, D.I.S.C.O. lost 2 major players in just a few days.

Disco died a long time ago. I saw the funeral. There's been a few zombies. Still, it was a major part of my youth, and the Bee Gees were a major part of Disco.
Farewell Robin, God rest your soul.
