I think that’s not only true not only for the harmonies, but also for the songwriting and production side, as well.

Totally agree!!

That jumping around the stage in Japan was hilarious Susie Q! He definitely was feeling it that day. We both know dancing and Robin Gibb don't really belong in the same sentence 🤣

Yes@ Yes!

Yes

Do one as a reaction just for the giggles.

I'll think about it 😬😁

Rock on!

"First of May" was a great pop tune, since sung by a lot of others but "Lamplight" is a classic IMO. It likely wasn't appreciated as much at the time as it is now. Actually, they likely needed a break at the time to grow up and appreciate and respect each other.

Robin called Barry, who was on vacation on Spain.

@@susieq9801 was it Rob or Baz who said we left as boys and got back together as men?

@@Zlata1313 - Rob.

@@susieq9801 thought so, wasn't 100% and didn't want to quote wrong brother .

This was written by all 3 after they got back together after their 15 month split. They wrote it and How Can You Mend A Broken Heart in the same evening.

Sue Prov - Both Robin and Barry co-wrote this the same day they got back together. Yes, they all did miss each other. They wrote both songs (How can you mend a broken heart) in one night after Robin decided to go and see Barry at his home.

@@susieq9801 Thank God they did. I always wondered why Barry said he wasnt on speaking terms with all his brothers when they died. I figured out Andy and Robin but couldn't figure out why with Maurice. Someone said business disagreements. Sad.

@@SueProv - Barry was frustrated with Andy's drug abuse and thought tough love would work but it didn't. It also was too late because his heart damage was already done. He tried to push Andy to record again but his confidence was shattered and he was terrified of failure. Andy was sent to live with Robin in a cottage on his estate because Robin wasn't drinking or using drugs, he was not as close to Andy and therefore hopefully more strict with him and he lived in a small English town away from the availability of drugs and bad influences but again, it was too late. For a while they actually became closer than they had ever been before but Andy was depressed and became very paranoid. Whenever he saw Robin coming he would turn off the lights and hide. He also got into booze somehow and got drunk, falling and knocking out his teeth. Both Barry and Robin felt responsible for Andy's death but there was nothing they could do. Robin and Barry were competitive and both stubborn. That was good in the sense that they pushed each other to be better. Barry had always been the leader and disliked being challenged but Robin was always a rebel and had the nerve to repeatedly stand up for himself and I feel rightfully so. Robin also tended to let whatever was in his brain come out of his mouth, sometimes embarrassing Barry. Robin was very eccentric and Barry admitted he really never understood him as an adult although he said he was a hilarious kid and nobody could compete with his wit as an adult. In the case of those two it was strong personalities and family dynamics but they did love and admire each other. Robin admitted he was moody, hard to get to know and overly sensitive. A lot of his moodiness was likely due to untreated PTSD after the train wreck. He became very somber after that and he said it haunted him for the rest of his life. After Mo died there was no one to mediate between them. In Mo's case I heard there was some disagreement over changing record companies because they felt they weren't (likely true) being promoted as they should be. Nobody disliked Mo but again, Barry was very controlling. It has been said Barry never gave up his need to be "Big Brother" even when they were all adults. That was good in some ways because Mo was "go with the flow" guy and Robin tended to be erratic. Unfortunately that caused personality clashes.
