Barry Gibb wrote a lot of Andy's songs. Andy's biggest hits in the later 70's were "I Just Want To Be Your Everything", "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water", "An Everlasting Love", "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away". Sadly he passed away at only 30 years of age. Now only Barry is left from the 4 brothers. But at least we have a great legacy of their music.

Andy wasn't part of the Bee Gees because he was too young. His brothers formed their group in 1958 which was the year Andy was born. Their first hit was in 1967 and their first number one in 1971. Andy began his career in 1973 at the age of 15. His first song released in the US in 1977 was "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" which went to #1, followed by "(Love is)Thicker than Water" (1977) and "Shadow Dancing" (1978). While I absolutely loved the Bee Gees, it was Andy that I was crazy about. You'll understand when you see him perform live why all the girls adored him. His death in 1988 was just so sad.

Hello. I was 12 years old when I listened Andy Gibb by first time and I became a big fan of him. I was a big singer and his voice was so sweet. My room was covered of his posters and photos. I knew by heart all his songs. He was so handsome, so gentle. After so many years, I feel so much pain in my heart when I listen all his songs because he has gone so young and also he was a part of my beautiful memories when I was a teenager in the 70s.

An excellent reaction, please also react to a couple of his other hits, "I Just Want To be Your Everything" and "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water". To answer your question, The Bee Gees had been performing since the '50s and Andy wasn't born until '58 so, he was too young to join the group, by the time he was of age his brothers were living in the U.S.A. Andy was living in Australia with his parents and his sister Lesley, he started bands there, and met his wife through his sister.

Barry and Andy were 12 years apart but had identical birthmarks. The Bee Gees were established the year Andy was born. He wanted to make it on his own. He didn't want to be successful on their coattails so to speak. In January of 88 they announced Andy would be joining the Bee Gees as a permanent member but sadly he passed away March 10th of 88 just 5 days after his 30th birthday. Also they wrote Too Much Heaven, Tragedy and Shadow Dancing all on the same day and all were number one hits. None of them could read music. I'd say it was in their blood. All four brothers were incredible. Sister Leslie could sing too. Dad was a drummer during the Big Band era and mom was a backup singer. Their children record together also. The Gibb children have a compilation album. Pretty cool. More Andy hits, I Just Wanna Be Your Everything. Love Is Thicker Than Water. Everlasting Love. (Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away. Desire. Time Is Time. Words. He also recorded a couple of duets with Olivia Newton John.

Thanks so much for featuring Andy's beautiful song Shadow Dancing. Andy was a very talented singer and it was such a tragic loss when he passed just a few days after turning 30 years old. Andy loved, adored and hero worshipped his 12 years older brother, Barry. Barry loved and treasured Andy. Andy always said that Barry was his favorite brother. Barry bought Andy his first guitar and his first horse. Barry and Andy were very close and the similarities between them were uncanny. Barry said he and Andy were more like twins than the real set of fraternal twins in the family, Mo and Robin. Andy sounded so much like Barry as well as looked like him. His voice and his mannerisms were just like Barry's. They both had the same birthmarks, The same persona and charisma on stage. They were the only brothers who played sports (tennis) and both were left handed but played guitar with their right hands. Andy was always said to be beautiful Barry's little Mini Me. Barry mentored Andy and wrote a lot of his songs ,sang back up on most of them and helped get Andy started in the music business. He took him under his wing in Miami and helped him through the recording process. Andy was also a great song writer as well. When Andy passed away Barry was completely devastated. I don't think he has ever gotten over it.😢😢😢 Thanks again and I hope you have more music by Andy and the Bee Gees. 👍❤

Andy developed a cocaine addiction, but he wasn't using it when he died but he suffered long term damage as far as his heart was concerned. He was using alcohol prior to his death and getting drunk. He was having issues being alone at Robin's estate in England trying to write new music for his new LP. His Mom flew out because he was having problems. Despite that he was still drinking. He suffered chest pains and was rushed to hospital. Some of the last words he spoke to his Mom, had to do with whether or not he was going to die and moments later he was gone.

Andy was clean when he passed. He was actually living in England with Robin at the time in order to get away from “the LA lifestyle” and stay away from the drug activity. Andy had a bad heart and had a heart infection which is what killed him. Robin told the doctors at the London hospital that Andy had a cardiologist in California who could tell them exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. The doctors decided to figure it out by running tests but by the time they got the test results Andy was dead. Andy’s cardiologist said that Andy would have lived if the doctors in London would have just called. Andy was set to become the 4th Bee Gee before he died but he died before that could happen. The Bee Gees had started performing as a group before Andy was even born which is why Andy was solo at first.

Andy was not a member of the Bee Gees because he was much younger than his older brothers. I believe he was 11 years younger than the twins, so The Bee Gees were already well established by the time Andy became an adult and embarked on a solo music career. However, on the Bee Gees song You Should Be Dancing Andy joins his older brothers. maybe that should be your next Bee Gees song.
@jayeginn596317 күн бұрын
Andy was kind of Barry's mini me, about half a foot shorter and 12 years younger but they were the only lefties of the family. However, his voice was nowhere near as broad in range or as strong as Barry's. As producer Alby Galuten said in the book "Tales of the brothers Gibb "Andy's falsetto was nowhere near Barry's." Andy had a lower, huskier, sound to his voice and his range was not as big as Barry's. I personally always thought his voice was much better suited to songs of his first album, Flowing Rivers. Andy died of myocarditis - which is an inflammation of the heart - on March 10, 1988, 5 days after his 30th birthday. His heart had been weakened by his drug addiction over the years which, by the way, was also the main reason for his split from Victoria Principal. He also had a congenital heart problem that was later also discovered in Barry and Barry's second son Ashley. Try listening to the song Dreamin' on kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3zHc4mBmLiGidk which is kind of a duet with Barry. And here are the 4 brothers live on stage in 1979 doing You Should Be Dancing kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWewg2B7lLatsJI And finally a few photos of Barry and Andy: i.postimg.cc/jS6n3Jkv/Barry-Andy.jpg and i.postimg.cc/TwnPh8M0/82c126fc42a35d3b737867af41338199.jpg and the 4 brothers with their mother i.postimg.cc/FRNMbwkD/b9b2561eadffee11347573c97063c2f8-zpsd89478eb.jpg The BeeGees were: the tallest and oldest brother (with the big hair and beard), Barry Gibb, born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Robin Gibb (with the long hair, no beard), born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, and Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (the balding brother with the beard, pronounced "Morris") Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away January 12, 2003. The three oldest brothers were born on the Isle of Man (UK). Oldest brother Barry got seriously burned when he accidentally pulled boiling tea over himself at 18 months old. He was in coma for a while, nearly died and was in hospital for many months. Because of this, he did not learn to talk until after the twins were born. Later the family moved to Manchester and from there they emigrated to Australia in 1958, right after Andy was born. All 4 brothers are just natural musical talents. All of them dropped out of high school in their early teens and none of them could read or write music. All their compositions were created completely organically. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1967. Then they had a string of big hits, until they temporarily broke up around 1970 for 15 months. Started back up, looking for a new sound which they first found in 1974 with the transitional album "Mr. Natural". After that "Main Course" was the first album that moved them into a new direction: more rhythm&blues, dance music like with great hits like Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin' (and was also actually the first album on which their logo was introduced). From 1976 on they went all out with falsetto driven dance music which lead to their biggest commercial success as they provided classic songs for the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack (1977 Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, Night Fever amongst them). You should react to the 1979 live version of Stayin' Alive, too kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ_MiYaebNuKiKs Other great songs to analyze: great album tracks from the 1979 Spirits Having Flown album, the title song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXnCm2xmm6h8oZY, the outrageously beautiful song Reaching Out kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJerhoZrgstjZrM. From their Still Waters album, Smoke and MIrrors: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4Wcp4V-iLyBmM0. From the 1960's I've gotta get a message to you kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXKXdHykedOHoZo. And from the 1990's the simple song Blue Island live in an accoustic version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2eVeJ93etWZqLs.

He took after his older brother Barry and got a lot of help from him..... the back up singing was his brothers helping him out! When his brothers starting singing he was still way too young.... later before he passed away he did some concerts with his brothers on stage.
