Everything, in the form of the anti-disco movement, which soon toppled them from their perch, leaving them confused and frustrated. They were mainstream stars in the late-’60s, had gotten back together but were worried about their musical future by the mid-’70s - when they again turned things around for the better with a new sound on the single “Jive Talkin’” - and hit astonishing heights with their contributions to the disco-drenched “Saturday Night Fever,” which became, at the time, the biggest selling album in the history of music. Barry, in 2019, recalls, “Our three lives were now different lives,” and in 1999 says, “It was really me and Robin who were in conflict Maurice was in the middle.”īut change was routine, almost always due to the people they worked with, among them producer-promoter-label owner Robert Stigwood, label owner Ahmet Ertegun (who suggested that Barry add falsetto singing to the mix), and producer Arif Mardin (who moved them toward an R&B sound). There’s background on the creation of their first hit “New York Mining Disaster 1941.” We discover that, at least in their case, success leads to fame, fame leads to inflated egos, and all of that led to inner turmoil and, in 1969, a breakup.

We find out that all three Gibbs decided early on that they were going to become famous. Added to that are interviews with their label mate Eric Clapton, Maurice’s former wife and British pop star Lulu, and Noel Gallagher, who knows a bit about sibling harmonies from working with his brother Liam in Oasis. In the 1999 interviews, each Gibb brother chats about how the band started, how their sound developed, memories of certain gigs and each other. The Bee Gees story is a rocky ride of ups and downs, successes and failures, and them, at one point, moving from being pop stars to pariahs.

It opens with a clip of their gorgeous harmonies at a 1979 concert in Oakland, while they were still riding the huge wave of popularity that sprung from their songs on the soundtrack of “Saturday Night Fever.” But it wasn’t all smooth sailing.
