Very good.  More programming like this, please.

 

Got a kick out of how Barry said he got the idea for "Jive Talkin'" by the sound the tires make when driving down the  highway !!!

Saw this for the 1st time a couple of days ago! It was so good!!!! I loved Disco, and that whole Era....The BeeGees were so good, loved their music and Saturday Night Fever is a fav of mine! I can't believe how nasty people acted about Disco music to the point where they couldn;t even get their songs on the radio-and it wasn't their fault! How awful......

 

Andy passed away so long ago, I couldn't believe it had been that long.....So sad! And then the other two Maurice and Robin. Whenever I hear one of their songs, I just feel like dancing!!!!! It makes me happy! I would like to see this again, in case I missed anything!

I decided to watch it, even though I knew it would be sad.  Barry gutted me like a fish at the end.

 

But it was interesting to see the different sides of their personalities and get to know them a little better as individuals.

 

A lot of the commentary from Robin and Maurice were from other documentaries, so it wasn't a lot of new information.

 

They have a sister, that they never discuss.  I assume she doesn't want to be in the lime light.

 

Barry also gave an interview recently and they asked why he didn't have the challenges his brothers had and he said it was because his wife Linda wouldn't stand for it.  I don't recall her being in this even though she had a credit at the end.  I was surprised to see Lulu.

@VaBelle35  What Barry said at the end brought me to tears both times I watched this.  I hadn't realized they had written so many songs that others turned into big hits.  They sure wrote a ton of great songs!

I was crazy about Andy Gibb.   Tragically no longer here.  RIP


I loved Barry Gibb. So handsome. Unfortunately, he hasn't aged well. He's the only one of the brothers left, sadly.

True. He reminds me of David Crosby now!

@dulwich  Enjoy!  As I stated above, what Barry says at the end left me in tears.  You and DH probably know people in the doc!
