Piano-Notenblätter von The Bee Gees auf Zen Virtual Piano entdecken. The Bee Gees were a trio of brothers, older brother Barry and fraternal twins Robin and Maurice Gibb, who began in harmony as little boys performing at local cinemas in Manchester, England. Harmony singing began for the brothers in December 1957. The family emigrated to Australia in 1958, and the soon-to-be Bee Gees moved their act into local clubs. Cinema performances in Manchester, beside local clubs in Australia, may point to local audiences on both sides of the move. In 1963 the group got their first record deal, and they were among the first of the 1960s pop bands in Australia to write their own songs. Col Joye, an Australian star, took an interest because of Barry's songwriting and helped the brothers land a 1963 recording deal with Leedon Records, a Festival Records subsidiary, under the name Bee Gees. An audition in February 1967 led to a five-year contract for the Bee Gees. Polydor Records would handle UK releases, while Atco Records would handle the US. One way to hear this is that harmony singing among the brothers from December 1957 and Barry's songwriting that interested Col Joye are two strands of a group built on family voices and songs. Many songs by Barry, Robin and Maurice were given away for other artists alone to record, and the brothers often took part as producers or as backing singers and musicians. Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of the Bee Gees' earlier hits, and Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound in the mid-to-late 1970s and 1980s, over the three-part tight harmonies the group sang. "How Deep Is Your Love" is a ballad the Bee Gees wrote and recorded in 1977, released as a single in September of that year by RSO Records. Barry worked out the structure of the melody with keyboard player Blue Weaver. Songs given to other artists, beside Barry's work on a Bee Gees melody with Blue Weaver, may hint at songwriting that served both the group and others. If Robin's clear vibrato lead marked the earlier hits and Barry's falsetto the mid-to-late 1970s, then the group's signature sound may have shifted from one brother's voice to another's. Maurice died suddenly in 2003, aged 53, and Barry and Robin retired from the group after 45 years of activity. In 2009 Robin announced that he and Barry had agreed the Bee Gees would re-form and perform again. The Bee Gees were honored with Lifetime Achievement awards from the American, World and British Music Awards in 1996 and 1997, and they entered the Songwriter and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame. Does a 1958 move from England to Australia, beside Lifetime Achievement awards from the American, World and British Music Awards, point to a group whose story and honors span several countries?
