How did the Bee Gees survive the fall of disco?

Those falsettos, those white suits, those toothy smiles—you think you know the Bee Gees. But their story goes back much further than the ’70s, and it’s full of twists. From their roots as an eclectic harmony band in Australia and their first wave of Beatlesque fame, through their domination of the disco revolution and their years as a punchline, the Bee Gees stayed alive because of the Gibb brothers’ harmonies and especially their impeccable songs. This month, Hit Parade traces the influence of the Brothers Gibb on virtually every popular genre, from pop to R&B, rock to easy listening, country to … yes, even hip-hop.

Re: The Daily Mirror.
Many people and some of Robin’s music industry friends came to say hello to me at the BMI Awards, (London) and I was pleased to see a lady and a gentleman who had apparently talked to me before about my first play: Last Confessions of a Scallywag. She told me that they rarely see me out anywhere, and she asked me what I was doing now, and I said that I had written another play which is due out next year and she wanted to see it. She asked me if there was going to be a film or production about the Bee Gees lives, and I said that it is in the bag and has been talked about for years even before Robin passed away, but that Barry was making sure they had the right writers for it. I forgot that the term: “it’s in the bag” means something is already finished and in production.
Then she asked if there was music of Robin’s which had never come out. He composed and recorded many parts of songs at home that he had worked on with RJ when they were writing the Titanic Requiem, but also ideas for other songs they had written together those last few years.
I said that many composers writing songs often have a surplus of songs when they write their albums and the rest of the music is usually archived. So, of course, she asked me if the Bee Gees had songs, and I remember Robin telling me that they had an archive of works, published and unpublished, which Barry has now. The rest of the time we talked about “Woman In Love’ which was written for Barbra Streisand, during the time when I first lived with Robin. Consequently, it has cherished memories for me and I was proud when RJ went up to receive the BMI Award for it on behalf of his father who co-wrote it with Barry. It has had over three million broadcast performances. It is an incredibly beautiful song that received a Grammy and many accolades and I have always loved Barbra Streisand’s voice.
I wanted to set the record straight that the newspaper implied that it was unpublished Bee Gees songs that our son RJ was putting together. This is untrue. In fact it is the music RJ was working on with his father that he is preserving.
Love and best wishes,
Dwina***
