How sad. First Andy, then Maurice, now Robin. My condolences to the family, especially his wife, children, mother, and Barry. I hope that the Bee Gees will be remembered for more than their disco work. While it gained them great fame, their true love was their pre-disco work In 2001, they released a CD / DVD titled ''This Is Where I Came In'' returning to their roots. They were great musicians with beautiful harmonies. We've lost another wonderful musician. RIP, Robin.

Quote: ''Once there was a great folk-rock band called The Bee Gees. Then Disco Fever hit and The Bee Gees got on the Disco train. Finally at the end of their career they knew where they came in again and left us with one of the greatest folk-rock tunes ever created. They left the way they came in with one more folk-rock classic song and their best tune.''

  • I much prefer their other music to their Disco stuff. But I also liked some of it too. Who didn't like Sat. Night Fever? :) Gail

    I'm sad for the family (esp. Barry) and sad I won't ever see them perform live again.   :-(    Well, live on video.    I've never been to one of their concerts.   But their One Night Only live concert cd set is in my top three cds of all time.

    Very sad. He had a beautiful singing voice. Another one with a beautiful singing voice was Freddie Mercury.
