The Bee Gees' are out of this world with harmony & feeling, I love them dearly, I would like to hear them sing the National Anthem, I'll bet it would make some shed tears, cause of the way they harmonize their songs, sends chills down my spine,I'll love them forever ...no one equals them!

Didn't the Bee Gees also have a song about a coal miner trapped underground? I can barely remember the song, just snippets, but there was a line that went something like "have you seen my wife Mr. Jones, do the know ...something), don't go talking to loud you'll cause a landslide"...like I said I barely remember it!

"...Do you know what it's like on the outside? Don't go talking so loud you'll cause a landslide..." "1910 Mining disaster" from their first album. Excellent song as well.

I just want everyone to know, that the Bee Gee's are the Greatest. It's a great loss that Maurice had to be taken from them. I have had great joy and still have in their music. When C'eline and Barbara Streisand had the opportunity to sing with them, it was the greatest in the world. I grew up with the Bee Gees, and yes I had a crush on Barry, as I'm sure all girls did. I just want to get a Message to You-Maurice, I hope you look down on all of us, the same way we look up to you. I know you are in a better place, but we still wish you were here with us. We Love You, and pray for you always......Carol

To Joe:

Congratulations! You are the 40th person to comment on the Bee Gees, and the first to mention "To Love Somebody," which I agree is their saddest of many sad songs. What took the rest of you all so long?

"Don't Throw it Away, Our Love", makes me cry. The Brothers sing it in their "ONO" DVD with a montage of Andy videos, etc........makes me cry, that Andy passed on at the young age of 30. One of the sweetest songs is "In the Morning", written as teenagers in Australia...just a guitar played by Barry and the singing, perfect harmony and genuine tenderness in their voices....the lyrics, so touching. The BeeGees are forever!

There Saddest song, "Love So Right" by far and though they wrote, "How Can U Mend a Broken Heart", Al Green's Version is only surpassed by a Funeral of a Loved one in saddness.
