Robin Gibb
Robin Hugh Gibb CBE (22 December 1949 – 20 May 2012) was a British singer, songwriter, and record producer, best known as a member of the Bee Gees, alongside his brothers Barry and Maurice. Born in Douglas, Isle of Man, Robin was the fraternal twin of Maurice Gibb. The family moved to Manchester, England, and later emigrated to Brisbane, Australia, where Robin and his brothers began their musical careers.
The Bee Gees achieved their first success in Australia before returning to England in 1967, where they became international stars. Known for their distinctive harmonies and Robin's soulful vibrato voice, the Bee Gees became one of the most successful pop groups of all time, selling over 200 million records. Their music played a pivotal role in the disco era, with hits like "Stayin' Alive" and "How Deep Is Your Love" from the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack.
Robin also pursued a solo career, releasing albums such as "Robin's Reign" in 1969, which included the hit "Saved by the Bell." Despite his solo endeavors, he remained closely tied to the Bee Gees, contributing to their continued success into the late 1970s and beyond. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
Robin's personal life included two marriages, first to Molly Hullis, with whom he had two children, Spencer and Melissa, and later to Dwina Murphy, with whom he had another child. He faced health challenges in his later years, including a battle with colorectal cancer, and passed away in 2012 due to liver and kidney failure. Robin Gibb's legacy endures through his contributions to music and the lasting impact of the Bee Gees.
