Yesssss...loved how they got into the actual writing and recording process for many of the hits, and included the producers and engineers.

Robert Stigwood was a monster behind the scenes, too.
Seeing that made me regret not pursuing a career in music. I wanted to be an engineer and parlay that into producing :francis:

I watched this last night, it was pretty good.

Crazy how hard they fell off due to the disco backlash. Even though their 1979 album had only 1 or 2 disco songs on it.

They have a sister too. She still lives in Australia. She joined the band briefly, but for the most part she’s stayed out of the limelight and looked after their elderly parents.

I heard of the sister but have never seen her. She didn't even show up to the Bee Gees/Barry Gibb tribute a few years back.

Her name is Lesley Gibb. She has chosen to stay out of the limelight

The backlash they got always makes me feel bad for them :snoop:

At least they were able to get some work as songwriters in the eighties

I don't know where rockers get off trashing disco. Rock was a washed up genre by the late seventies anyways

Great doc

I like how they mention that a lot of that "disco sucks!" was really just indirect :mjpls: shyt.

Found it interesting it only took some :mjpls: DJ to start shytting on this music and these dudes were black balled from that point on. I knew this history but it's like when white boys are a REALLY passionate how much they hate rap and you realize that the music isn't what they really have an issue with. :sas1:
My parents always told me the disco backlash was due to racism and anti-gay CACs. And that’s where “Punk” was born from.

CSN&Y if you haven’t heard them before, they have some shyt, fr

I've been trying to remember for weeks who on this forum put me on to them, but they're pretty dope :pachaha:

My initial post was stupid anyways, now that I remember all the 60s-70s white bands that I listen to semi-regularly

On the 25th anniversary, of the race riot at commiskey park, guess who decided to remake the song.



If that ain't tacky, I don't know what is
