Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic Gala featuring Barry Gibb
november 23 2019
Chris Evert and Barry Gibb: Seems a natural pairing.
The two icons of the 1970s — pop music’s Gibb and tennis great Chris Evert — are teaming up to raise money for several South Florida charities.
Gibb is scheduled to perform as the headliner act for the 30th annual Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic gala in November at the Boca Raton Resort & Club.
“I was thrilled when Chris invited me to perform at the 30th anniversary of her gala fundraiser and I am really looking forward to it,” Gibb said Tuesday.
“I am thrilled beyond words that this iconic artist will be performing at our 30th anniversary celebration,” Evert said in a statement “This is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to hear some of the greatest hits of all time — live!”
Both Gibb, 72, and Evert, 64, have strong South Florida ties.
Evert was born in Fort Lauderdale and lives in Boca. When she was a teen, making a name for herself as the 1967 Junior Orange Bowl Tennis Champion, with matches at Miami Beach’s Flamingo Park, Gibb was having his first wave of world fame with his brothers, Robin and Maurice. His 1967 Bee Gees hits included “To Love Somebody” and “New York Mining Disaster 1941.”
By the mid-’70s, Gibb, now living on Miami Beach, crafted hits with his brothers like “Jive Talkin,” and “You Should Be Dancing” and “Tragedy” at North Miami’s Criteria Studios that you’re almost certain to hear at the coming gala.
Images of Gibb playing tennis with his youngest brother, the late Andy Gibb, for whom Gibb wrote and produced “I Just Want to Be Your Everything and “(Love Is) Thicker Than Water” are just a Google click away. https://beegeesfanfever.blogspot.com/

Bee Gees Movie
november 10 2019
STILL STAYIN’ ALIVE — (from Deadline)
Add another jukebox show to the Broadway hopper. Wicked co-producer
Universal Theatrical Group (UTG), Universal Pictures’ live theatre
division, has reached an agreement with Barry Gibb, Yvonne Gibb, and the
Estate of Robin Gibb to develop a bio-tuner based on the life story and
music of the Bee Gees. Barry Gibb will serve as an executive producer
on the project. The announcement was made by Jimmy Horowitz, President
of Universal Pictures.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for our family,” said Barry Gibb. “I’m personally very excited to be a part of the creative process along with Yvonne and Dwina. It’s another adventure for us and a chance to throw the spotlight on all my brothers and finally the real story of us will be told. It’s an honor to be working alongside the people I most respect. I can’t wait to get started!”
The Bee Gees, comprised of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, are among the world’s best-selling music artists of all time. With their iconic sound and quintessential performances, the talented group of brothers rose to fame in the 60’s and 70’s and saw global success with iconic hits such as “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” “Too Much Heaven,” “Nights On Broadway” and “Stayin’ Alive.”
The Bee Gees are one of my all-time favorite bands and to continue to hear their music, in any medium, is indeed a high honor. That said, I trust the creative team they assemble (with Barry Gibb) can adequately handle all the twists and turns in their wondrous career.
From Robert Stigwood, to RSO Records (and, Bill Oakes), Andy Gibb; the splits they all endured from the band; Barry’s magnificent work as a producer; the deaths of Maurice and Robin … it’s quite a tidy parcel. In my opinion, the trick that made Bohemian Rhapsody and even Rocketman, major successes, was that they had participation from some of the actual people who were involved. Sure, the Queen movie moved a lot faster than it did in real life and Elektra Records was essentially left out, as was Elton’s band … they both did tell the story.
