Robin Gibb at 62 from a along bout with cancer.
The Bee Gee's music covered many, many years and they had a few resurections including the disco era.
Here's a question, what was the Bee Gee's "most obscure record album"?
Late 1960's is my only clue.
Spicks and Specks?

To Love Somebody. Love Janis Joplin's version, and the original of course.
It is an album and released about 1968-69. Name of a port city.
I remember when they first issued their two-disk set "Odessa".....the album was covered in red velvet which reportedly made all the workeds at the LP pressing plant ill.
After the first run, the next shipments came out with a normal cardboard cover (although a recent Rhino Records re-issue restored the original velvet).
I saw the Bee Gees back in 1974, before their "second life" as disco idols....the opening act was a duo called "Hall and Oates".
The Bee Gees actually broke up for a while after that record.....Robin was a single act (one album, "Robin's Reign"), while Barry and Maurice continued ("Cucumber Castle") as a duo. Niether was very successful, and aftera few years they got back together, and had mid-level successes ("Lonely Days", "How Do You Mend a Broken Heart", "Jive Talkin'") before the big "Saturday Night Fever" breakout.
The Sicilian is correct Odessa" was the album
Had some greta songs just no commercial appeal
