They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 the presenter of the award to "Britain's first family of harmony" was Brian Wilson, historical leader of the Beach Boys, a "family act" also featuring three harmonising brothers. The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists of all time. After achieving their first chart success in Australia as the Bee Gees with "Spicks and Specks" (their 12th single), they returned to the UK in January 1967 where producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience. The family then moved to Redcliffe, in Queensland, Australia, and then to Cribb Island. They wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.īorn on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England, until the late 1950s, and formed the Rattlesnakes. 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 late 1970s and 1980s. 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 late 1970s. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. The Bee Gees were a pop music group formed in 1958.
