Klappentext The long overdue biography of the Bee Gees, by an acclaimed author. "Publishers Weekly", 6/3/13"[An] exhaustive biography...The author is a fan, but he doesn't hesitate to be critical" The long overdue, definitive narrative biography of The Bee Gees, by the acclaimed author of the award-winning Twenty Thousand Roads: The Ballad of Gram Parsons and his Cosmic American Music. Zusammenfassung The first narrative biography of the Bee Gees, the phenomenally popular vocal group that has sold more than 200 million records worldwide -- sales in the company of the Beatles and Michael Jackson. The Bee Gees is the epic family saga of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, and it's riddled with astonishing highs—especially as they became the definitive band of the disco era, fueled by Saturday Night Fever and crashing lows, including the tragic drug-fueled downfall of youngest brother, Andy. In recent years, a whole new generation of fans has rediscovered the undeniable grooves and harmonies that made the Bee Gees and songs like Stayin' Alive , How Deep is Your Love , To Love Somebody , and I Started a Joke timeless.
