Sad news. First Maurice and now Robin, both still young (not to mention Andy too).

I'm a fan of early Bee Gees music. Although they are best known for their ballads and disco music, they had many great rock (psychedelic/art rock) songs at the beginning of their career. They were not only great composers and singers, but also musicians, especially Maurice.

Well, I've even written a fan fiction named after a song of theirs, written and sung by Robin, whose mood fits perfectly the story mood. I'll leave the link for the song on Youtube (I hope it is okay to link videos here) as a tribute for his talent. Really and Sincerely

Tilinelson2, thanks for posting that link. :) That is a very beautiful song and piece of music. I am not too familiar with the Bee Gees in their early years as the members of a larger group before they became a very popular trio. I do remember their brother Andy very, very well. Very talented musical family there. Very sad that so many of them have passed on now. Atleast we still have Barry left with us.

And, tillie, I think I need to find that story you wrote, if it's posted here, and read it. :yes:

I think you have already read it, SS1. It is pretty old. I didn't check, but high is the probability that you have read and reviewed it.
