The Bee Gees were a musical group formed in by brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were especially successful in popular music in the late s and early s, and later as prominent performers in the disco music era in the mid-to-late s. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies: Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&Bfalsetto became their signature sound during the mid-to-late s and s.

"There is no Andy," Tipping Point host Ben Shephard said last month when correcting a contestant.
What he meant to säga was "There is no Andy in the Bee Gees."
There absolutely was an Andy Gibb, of course, the younger brother of Maurice, Barry and Robin Gibb and a disco pop superstar in his own right.
Born Andrew Roy Gibb on March 5, , Andy Gibb was the youngest of the five Gibb siblings, being the little brother to the Bee Gees trio and sister Lesley.
