The Bee Gees.

were a pop music group formed in 1958.

Their line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb.

The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success; as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the mid-to-late 1970s.

The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the mid-to-late 1970s and 1980s.

The Bee Gees wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
