The Queen of Disco died last week: Donna Summer.
This weekend another icon of the music from the seventies and disco-legend, Robin
Gibb of the Bee Gees, died.
The Bee Gees were trendsetting and
co-responsible for the beginning of the disco era.
The group is for always connected with the
film Saturday Night Fever. This film along with the album ensured that everyone
wanted to disco dancing.
Michael Jackson, James Brown, Barry White,
Dan Hartman, Edwin Starr, Bernard Edwards (Chic), Jimmy Ellis (singer of the
Tramps), Harold Melvin, Johnny Guitar Watson, Karen Young, Lou Rawls, Marvin
Gaye, Rick James and Van McCoy and then,
for sure, I forgot a few to mention. More and more icons of the seventies die.
Yes, I know, that is the risk if you getting older. Robin Gibb along with Barry
and Maurice (died in 2003) he made the Bee Gees great. Their close harmony-singing
with falsetto voices was characteristic and was the main feature of their songs.
They create a unique sound. Robin was the man with the middle-high, sometimes
what sonorous, nasal voice.
Bee Gees were a
musical group which originally comprised three 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 pop act
in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music
era in the late 1970s.
His family announced
with "great sadness" that Robin, 62, had lost his brave fight with
colon cancer. In a brief statement they said: “Sunday 20
May, 2012
at 10:46 :
The family of Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, announce with great sadness that
Robin passed away today following his long battle with cancer and intestinal
surgery.
"Stayin' Alive" is a song by the
pop group Bee Gees from the Saturday Night Fever motion picture soundtrack. The
song was written by the Bee Gees (Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb) and produced
by the Bee Gees, Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson. It was released on
Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees Lyrics
Well, you can tell by the way I use my
walk,
I'm
a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music
loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
since I was born.
And
now it's all right. It's OK.
And
you may look the other way.
We
can try to understand
the
New York Time's effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're
a mother,
you're
stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel
the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and
we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah,
ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah,
ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Well now, I get low and I get high,
and
if I can't get either, I really try.
Got
the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I'm
a dancin' man and I just can't lose.
You
know it's all right. It's OK.
I'll
live to see another day.
We
can try to understand
the
New York Time's effect on man.
Whether
you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel
the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and
we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah,
ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah,
ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life
goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me yeah. Stayin' alive.
Well, you can tell by the way I use my
walk,
I'm
a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked
around
since I was born.
And
now it's all right. It's OK.
And
you may look the other way.
We
can try to understand
the
New York Time's effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're
a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel
the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and
we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah,
ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah,
ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life
goin' nowhere. Somebody help me yeah.
I'm
Stayin' alive.
Rest in Peace Robin
