Comment:

Sure, they grew up in Australia — half a world away from pop’s ground zero — but that didn’t keep Bee Gees from soaking up the music like a six-eared sponge. Rock’s first legendary brother act, the Everly Brothers, crooned their way through a honey-sweet tale of puppy love in “(’Til) I Kissed You” with voices, like the Gibbs’, genetically programmed for seamless harmony. While Buddy Holly had no siblings to aid him in the butterscotch-sweet innocence of “Words of Love,” he did the next best thing: he double-tracked his vocals to get that “brotherly” sound. And Barry Gibb has made plain — on the record [i]and[/i] on records — his awe of Otis Redding, who wrote the book on how to craft a soul power ballad in his knee-scarring declaration of devotion “That’s How Strong My Love Is.” But there’s more: the Bee Gees drew inspiration from the Brill Building, the beach, and points beyond — and we have ’em all.
