Biography[edit] 1946–1954: Early years[edit] See also: Hugh Gibb Barry Alan Crompton Gibb was born in Jane Crookall Maternity Home at 8:45 AM in Douglas, Isle of Man, to Hugh Gibb, a drummer, and Barbara Gibb (17 November 1920 – 12 August 2016) (née Pass).[14] He has English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry.[15] He has an older sister, Lesley Evans. He was named Barry Alan Crompton Gibb after his father's youngest brother Alan, who died in infancy. According to Hugh, in a mix of fact and fiction, the third name was given to Barry to honour the Gibbs' illustrious ancestor, ' Sir
Sir Isaac' Crompton- actually Samuel Crompton, inventor of the spinning mule.[16] When Gibb was born, his father was busy with his music working at various hotels in Douglas, while his mother stayed at home looking after the children. Later, the Gibbs moved to Chapel House on Strang Road. When he was almost two years old, he was badly burned. His mother had just made tea which she had put on the table; he climbed up and pulled the tea pot down and got the tea all over him. He was in Nobles Hospital for about two-and-a-half months. Gibb later commented on that incident:

"Then the gangrene set in. Because in those days, the advancement of medicine simply didn't apply to people with bad scalds, so you didn't have skin grafts, you didn't have things like that. But this was a particularly bad scald, and I think I had 20 minutes to live at some point. The incredible thing for me is that whole two years is wiped from my memory, the whole period of being in hospital. The idea of being burnt is in there somewhere, but I have no knowledge of it. I've got the scars but I have no knowledge".[14]

In 1949, the Gibb family relocated to 50 St. Catherine's Drive.[17] Later that year, on 22 December, his two younger brothers Robin and Maurice were born. When the twins were young, they moved to Smedley Cottage, Spring Valley, also in Douglas.[17] Gibb started school on 4 September 1951, three days after his fifth birthday, attending Braddan school. In 1952, the Gibb family relocated to 43 Snaefell Road, Willaston, which became their home for the next two years. The same year, he went to Tynwald Street Infants School. On his seventh birthday in 1953, he went to Desmesne Road Boys School.[14] 1955–2012: The Rattlesnakes to the Bee Gees[edit] Further information: The Rattlesnakes (1955 band), Robert Stigwood, Bee Gees, and The Bee Gees' concerts in 1967 and 1968 1955–1958: Formation, Australian days and songwriting career[edit] In 1955, Gibb formed the skiffle group The Rattlesnakes, consisting of himself on vocals and guitar, Robin and Maurice on vocals and friends/neighbours Paul Frost and Kenny Horrocks also providing vocals. By 1957, The Rattlesnakes played songs by Cliff Richard. Paul Anka, Buddy Holly
Buddy Holly and The Everly Brothers. Gibb said that their first song played was Paul Anka's "I Love You, Baby", however, in 1968, he remembered it as the Everly Brothers' "Wake Up Little Susie". The Rattlesnakes' first professional gig took place on 28 December 1957 in the Gaumont Cinema. Around 1958, Gibb's guitar was accidentally broken by Frost, who described the guitar as "broken in the middle".[17] By May 1958 when the Gibbs moved to Northern Grove it signalled the departure of Frost and Horrocks. The brothers later changed the name of the group to Wee Johnny Hayes and the Blue Cats. Under that name, they performed regularly in Minor 15, a talent contest for under-fifteens held on Thursday nights from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at Princess Club in Chorlton.[17] At the beginning of August 1958, the Gibb family set sail for Australia from Southampton on the ship Fairsea. Also aboard was Red Symons, future guitarist of Skyhooks, as well as Kylie Minogue's mother.[18] The band later changed its name to Bee Gees. In 1959, the brothers began singing between races at the Redcliffe Speedway to earn money. Their vocal talent brought them to the attention of Bill Gates, a radio deejay. Gates was also interested in Gibb's original material including "Let Me Love You" and "(Underneath the) Starlight of Love". After hearing those songs, Gates asked Gibb for more original material. Gibb quit school in September 1961 and the Gibbs moved to Surfers Paradise. The brothers spent the summers of 1961 and 1962 performing at hotels and clubs in the Gold Coast area. By September 1962, Gibb managed to audition songs to Col Joye. The Gibb family moved in Sydney

All of the Bee Gees' singles from 1963 to 1966 were written by Gibb. Between 1963 and 1966, Gibb's songs were recorded by numerous Australian recording artists including Trevor Gordon, Noeleen Batley, Anne Shelton, April Byron, Ronnie Burns and Lori Balmer.[20] One of them is his composition "One Road" hit No. 2 in Australia New South Wales Chart and #32 on the Kent Music Report charts for Jimmy Little

The result was their first international LP Bee Gees' 1st, the second single from the album "To Love Somebody", on which Gibb provided the lead vocal has become a standard song as covered by hundreds of artists consistently throughout the years since. Around the same time, the Gibb brothers contributed backing vocals on the track "Cowman, Milk Your Cow" a song written by Gibb and Robin sung by singer Adam Faith.[27] In 1967, Gibb was in The Speakeasy Club, a nightclub in London where he was introduced by Pete Townshend
Pete Townshend to John Lennon. Lennon was still wearing his outfit for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band photo shoot earlier that day on 30 March 1967; after a couple of scotch and cokes, Townshend said to Gibb, "Do you want to meet John?" and he led Gibb across to a room where Lennon was holding court and Townshend said, "John. This is Barry Gibb, from the group the Bee Gees" to which Lennon replied, "Howyadoin'"."So I met John Lennon's back", Gibb says with a laugh, "I didn't meet his front".[28] Gibb earlier said in 2010 about the meeting, "It was virtually a closed club and you went downstairs and there was a coffin and if you were someone they knew and you were supposed to go in, the wall would turn around... and in you would go. There would be [Rolling] Stones lying around all over the place. It was one of those days when I met John Lennon
John Lennon – from the back. It was Pete Townshend
Pete Townshend who introduced me... [Lennon said], 'Pleased to meet you', and he carried on talking to his guest."[29] After many stresses on their personal and professional lives, both Barry and Robin collapsed from nervous exhaustion on a flight from Australia to Turkey in 1967. On 23 December 1967, Barry and Robin left England for Australia. As Gibb explained: "But due to time difference we arrived on Christmas Day, we missed Christmas Eve altogether!". The pair celebrated Christmas with their manager Robert Stigwood's family as Gibb said: "We went on to Sydney".[17]

At the end of 1967, fame was taking its toll and the group were at odds with each other. At the start of 1968, the Gibbs were vying for influence in determining the musical direction of the group, creating tension in the studio and on stage. Also in 1968, to promote Horizontal the group made their first appearance on U.S. television on The Smothers Brothers Show
The Smothers Brothers Show as well as The Ed Sullivan Show.[30] The group later filmed a TV special Frankie Howerd

Bee Gees released "First of May" as the A-side, with the flip side being "Lamplight" on which Robin sang the lead. Robert Stigwood chose "First of May" to be the A-side. No other songs were released from the album Odessa. Shortly after Robin announced his solo plans, the Bee Gees
Bee Gees released their first single without him, "Tomorrow Tomorrow". Barry also worked with Samantha Sang, co-writing and producing two songs "The Love of a Woman" and the B-side "Don't Let It Happen Again" released on Parlophone.[32] He also produced songs for P.P. Arnold

Bee Gees for their 1970 album.[33] In the summer of 1969, Petersen left the group which now only featured Barry and Maurice as the Bee Gees. Pentangle drummer Terry Cox replaced Petersen to complete another 12 songs, but only five songs were released in the album.[34] The film Cucumber Castle, featuring only two Bee Gees
Bee Gees after originally including Petersen, aired on BBC2 on 26 December 1970. When the group announced that they had split at the start of December 1969, Gibb spent January 1970 writing songs to record the following month.[35] Solo work[edit] In February 1970, he started to record his first solo album, The Kid's No Good; he released his first solo single, "I'll Kiss Your Memory", but the rest of the songs that were supposed to be on the album were never released and only appeared in bootlegs.[36][37] "I'll Kiss Your Memory" was not charted in both U.K. and U.S. but reached #16 in Netherlands in five weeks. Another country ballad "This Time" was chosen as the B-side.[38] Bruce Eder of AllMusic
AllMusic stated that the songs on The Kid's No Good
The Kid's No Good were of country and sentimental numbers.[39] In April 1970 the album Cucumber Castle
Cucumber Castle was released four months after the break-up, featuring only Barry and Maurice, as Robin was working on his solo career.[40] For the first time as a solo artist, he appeared on the panel of judges and performed "One Bad Thing" and "The Day Your Eyes Meet Mine" on Miss Teen Princess of the World pageant in Germany in June, his reaction was "I've not appeared on stage for at least a year and three months, and I really miss people". In July 1970, Gibb travelled to Australia to act as compere for Go-Set, and on that occasion, he gave an interview on the magazine which revealed that sixteen months after the Bee Gees' break-up, but he was still not ready to argue with his brothers, "Obviously, we're still brothers, but we are no longer as a group".[17] "The Day Your Eyes Meet Mine", which he considered as the second single from his debut album and Atco pressed some copies of it in August 1970 with "One Bad Thing" as the B-side.[41] and was distributed to the radio stations in Canada and elsewhere but was not continued and it was decided to focus on a new Bee Gees
Bee Gees release (in favour of the Bee Gees' reunion single "Lonely Days") and was released around August.[40] While Polydor
Polydor planned to release "One Bad Thing" by 2 October. (elsewhere except North America and Canada)[17] Gibb claimed that not only had he been focusing on writing and recording songs, but he had still hoped to be an actor, "I have already had offers to play different parts but, without appearing swell headed, I haven't found the right part yet".[17] "One Bad Thing" was later given by Gibb to his friend Ronnie Burns, a singer from Australia, and later released it as a single on Festival Records.[42] Rejoining the Bee Gees[edit]

"It came to me in a dream, there was a request by Arif Mardin, who was like an uncle to us, he was a great record producer during the song 'Nights On Broadway,' for the Main Course
Main Course album, which is previous to the 'Fever' syndrome. And he said, 'Can any of you scream, scream in falsetto.' So, you know, give us an ad lib or a scream at the end. So from screaming, it turned into things like 'blaming it all'."[47]

Pentatonix presented the category of Best Pop Vocal Album.[96] On March 26, 2015, Gibb was one of the headlining acts on a music festival called the Hard Rock Rising Miami Beach Global Music Festival alongside Andrea Bocelli, Gloria Estefan, Flo Rida, Jon Secada and Wyclef Jean.[97][98] For the first time in public, he performed his new song "The Home Truth Song".[99] On 26 June 2016, Gibb was scheduled to perform the "legend" spot at the Glastonbury Festival
Glastonbury Festival in England, but pulled out due to a family illness. He did, however, appear with Coldplay
Coldplay as a guest performer singing "To Love Somebody" and "Stayin' Alive".[100] On 28 June 2016, it was announced that Gibb had signed to Columbia Records and will release his second solo album, In the Now
In the Now on 7 October 2016.[101][102] The album is Gibb's first album with all new material since Bee Gees' final studio album This Is Where I Came In (2001). In the Now
In the Now was co-written by his sons Stephen and Ashley, and it was produced with John Merchant.[101] On 25 June 2017, Gibb performed the "legend" spot at the Glastonbury Festival in England.[103] He also joined Coldplay
Coldplay on stage during the same festival in 2016.[104] Personal life[edit] Gibb's first marriage was to Maureen Bates, whom he married on 22 August 1966, when he was 19 years old. The couple lived together for only a short time and were divorced in July 1970.[105] During the taping of the BBC's Top of the Pops
Top of the Pops in London, Gibb met the former Miss Edinburgh, Linda Gray. On 1 September 1970 (his 24th birthday), Gibb married Gray. Together, they have five children – Stephen (born 1973), Ashley (born 1977), Travis (born 1981), Michael (born 1984) and Alexandra (born 1991).[17] – and seven grandchildren.[106] Barry also became friends with Michael Jackson, as he mentions him in his 11 July 2014 interview with the Mirror: "He would come to Miami and stay in our house. He’d sit in the kitchen and watch the fans outside his hotel on TV, just giggling – 'Hee hee!' He lived upstairs for a while, right before his child-molestation trial. We never discussed the case. We would just sit around and write and get drunk. Michael liked wine – there were a few nights when he just went to sleep on the floor". Gibb also revealed on that interview that he misses Jackson.[93] In January 2006, Gibb purchased the former home of country singers Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash
June Carter Cash (the House of Cash) in Hendersonville, Tennessee, intending to restore it and turn it into a songwriting retreat.[107] The house was destroyed by fire on 10 April 2007 while under renovation.[108] On 10 July 2009, Gibb was made a Freeman of the Borough of Douglas (Isle of Man). The award was also bestowed upon his brother Robin and posthumously upon his brother Maurice.[77] Also in 2009, Barry and Linda Gibb became US citizens. They have dual citizenship. Barry has homes in Miami, Florida and in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, set in 90 acres of English countryside.[109] Influences[edit] Gibb's influences when he was in the Rattlesnakes were Tommy Steele,[110] The Mills Brothers,[111][112] The Everly Brothers, Paul Anka and Cliff Richard.[17] The Bee Gees
Bee Gees acknowledged that they would sing in the style of the Everlys and then add a third harmony; the result was "New York Mining Disaster 1941" (1967). When Gibb heard Roy Orbison's song "Crying", he said: "That was it. To me that was the voice of God."[113] Gibb on praising the vocal skills of Frankie Valli
Frankie Valli as well as one of his influences, "" Frankie Valli
Frankie Valli has become one of the hallmark voices of our generation. He created a style that we all still strive to emulate."[114] Gibb was also influenced by country music as his songs on the 1970 unreleased The Kid's No Good
The Kid's No Good were the evidence: "Country music always inspired us. I love Nashville and I love this music. Since my brothers passed, I’ve been able to be self-indulgent. I’ve been able to go where I love the music".[115] Legacy[edit] Gibb was ranked by Q magazine at number 38 on their list of "100 Greatest Singers" in 2007.[116] Gibb had a highly successful career as a member of the Bee Gees, a group near the top of the all-time top-sellers list. When the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, their citation read "Only Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney have outsold the Bee Gees".[117] The trio's contribution to Saturday Night Fever
Saturday Night Fever pushed the film's soundtrack past the 40 million mark in sales. It reigned as the top-selling album until Michael Jackson's Thriller. They are the only group in pop history to write, produce and record six straight No.1 hits. They have 16 Grammy
Grammy nominations and nine Grammy
Grammy wins. The three Gibb brothers were appointed Commanders of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2002. On 2 May 2004, Barry and Robin received their awards at Buckingham Palace, along with their nephew Adam, who collected the award on behalf of his father Maurice, who had died in January 2003.[72] Gibb was also awarded a knighthood in the 2018 New Year Honours. Gibb is also a prolific and successful songwriter and a fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.[10] In 1977, Gibb saw five of his songs simultaneously enter the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100
Billboard Hot 100 and, for one week in March, four of the top five songs were written by him. His songs were No. 1 for 27 out of 37 weeks from 24 December 1977 to 2 September 1978. Gibb also holds a very unusual record, in that he is the only songwriter in history to write four successive US number one hits: in 1978, the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" was replaced at number one by Andy Gibb's single, "Love Is Thicker Than Water", followed by the Bee Gees' "Night Fever" for their longest run, seven weeks. This was then replaced by Yvonne Elliman's "If I Can't Have You". As a songwriter Gibb has had No. 1 songs in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s 1990s and 2000s, when "Islands in the Stream" became No. 1 in the UK as the comic relief single for 2009. His compositions for the Bee Gees have been recorded by numerous artists, including José Feliciano, Celine Dion, Al Green, Wyclef Jean, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Little, Barry Manilow, Olivia Newton-John, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Kenny Rogers, Diana Ross, Nina Simone, Barbra Streisand, Samantha Sang, Tina Turner, Conway Twitty, Frankie Valli, Luther Vandross, Sarah Vaughan, Jennifer Warnes, Dionne Warwick
Dionne Warwick and Andy Williams. Australian musician David Campbell, on praising Gibb on comparing The Beach Boys
The Beach Boys and the Bee Gees: ""And like Brian Wilson, Barry Gibb’s melodies made the songs timeless".[118] Gibb's solo songs have been recorded by number of artists, including Lou Reizner, Samantha Sang, P. P. Arnold, Ronnie Burns, Jerry Vale
Jerry Vale and many others.[119] As a record producer, Gibb produced albums for Andy Gibb, Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Rogers
Kenny Rogers and Diana Ross. Solo discography[edit] For his discography with the Bee Gees, see Bee Gees
