Along with his twin brother Maurice Gibb and his brother Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb was the third member of the popular 70s and 80s band, The Bee Gees. Their albums have sold more than 100 million copies. In the more than 25 years that the band has been together they have recorded more than 25 albums and have had 8 singles reach #1 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in the U.S., 3 singles hit #1's in the U.K. and many more hit the top of the charts worldwide.



Born in England, Robin Gibb emigrated to Australia with his parents in the early 60s. With his brothers he formed the band The Bee Gees which came from the Brothers Gibb. Their career began in 1963 when they performed their song, "The Battle of the Blue & Grey," on television. Anxious to be where the big name musicians were, the trio moved back to Britain in 1967 to compete with bands such as The Beatles.
