Long before the mirror balls spun and the falsettos flew, the Bee Gees were simply three brothers chasing harmony and heart. Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb weren’t just the kings of disco: they were soulful storytellers, rock poets, and pop prodigies. This look back at their early years is a journey through shaggy hair, tight harmonies, and the quiet genius that built their legend.
For many of us, those pre-disco days carry the purest memories. Whether it’s “Massachusetts” or “To Love Somebody,” these snapshots remind us of the Bee Gees we first came to love.
