Born on September 1, 1946, Barry Gibb was the second of five children in the Gibb family.

The 1970s saw Barry and his brothers revolutionize the music scene with their distinctive falsettos, making disco synonymous with the Bee Gees. Despite facing challenges in the 1980s with changing musical trends, Barry refused to fade into obscurity. He continued to shine as a songwriter for artists across genres and weathered the loss of his brother Andy in 1988 with resilience.

The 1990s marked a stunning comeback with the critically acclaimed “Still Waters” album and the legendary “One Night Only” concert, which became the highest-selling music DVD in Australia. Even after the passing of Maurice in 2003, Barry’s influence endures, demonstrating his ongoing impact on music and his engagement in social issues.
