So sad. I remember getting into my older brothers' record albums. And I listened to the Bee Gees pre-SNF. They were so much more than disco.

Although I found their disco-flavored falsetto style of singing bordering on unlistenable - and now very dated - I genuinely admired their song-writing craft. Their pre-disco music is simply without equal in terms of its sheer emotional lyrical and musical beauty.
One of the best songs ever to come out of the 60s was "To Love Somebody" and perhaps the most achingly beautiful love songs of all time (from the late 70s), "How deep Is Your Love?". This latter song is all the more beautiful given it was written and performed at the height of their disco fame

Do you suppose that the reason we liked their SNF/disco period was that it was 1976-77 and we had not all died at Armegeddon? Anything was better than eternal death-even disco

The Brothers Gibb....B.G's . ...the Bee Gee's.....can't imagine my younger days without their music playing somewhere in the background. Must be rough for Barry to be the oldest and yet be the last man standing. Hopefully it helps to know that he and his brothers lived less than ordinary lives.

Gibb and his twin Maurice were born on the Isle of Man to English parents on December 22, 1949 , three years after their brother Barry
They took the name Bee Gees, an abbreviation of Brothers Gibb
His younger brother Andy, who was not part of the Bee Gees but a successful singer in his own right, died in 1988 from heart failure at 30.
Gibb’s twin brother and bandmate Maurice died from the same bowel condition that initially led doctors to operate on him.
"Everyone should be aware that the Bee Gees are second only to Lennon and McCartney as the most successful songwriting unit in British popular music," RIPUnable are the loved to die. For love is immortality. - Emily Dickinson

It's time the American Medical Association to lose its battle to suppress real cancer cures. This is the second legendary musician in about a week to die of cancer. And, as with so many Americans, usually they get one bout with cancer. They get chemo, and they are better for a time (usually a year or 2). After that time, the cancer comes back. This time, their immune systems are so shot that they don't have a chance, and they usually end up dead. Fact is, I estimate that chemo has only a 3% chance of improving the outcome with cancer. In the meantime, the average person usually gets full-blown cancer and doesn't know about it several times through life--doing nothing cures cancer 80% of the time.
Now, if we could get the medical tyranny out of our faces, someone could do better than 3%. If doing nothing works 80% of the time, for sure snake oil works better than 3% of the time. And, for the other 20% that do need intervention (and for the 80% that are watching it), there are so many potential herbs, vitamins, minerals, and foods that might just work. Laetrille, hemp oil, mega doses of vitamin C, and a form of alpha lipoic acid have all been dumped by lamestream medicine because they are too effective. And even if they do nothing, at least they don't make the disease worse. A healthy immune system can take down cancer around 80% of the time--anything that works with the immune system should do better. And, without the medical system we now have, someone is going to find something that does even better--you get some sort of "bidding wars" that ultimately make cancer nothing more serious than a bout with the flu.
Yet, instead, we get misery and suffering and ultimately, after 1-2 years, you get the cancer back.
