Album Description: The individual voices of the legendary Brothers Gibb—Maurice, Barry, and Robin—are each wonderfully distinctive in their own right. In combination, they lock together for extraordinary harmonies, perfectly blending and magically complementing each other. This vocal wizardry is at the heart of their phenomenal success, which spanned five decades and transcended multiple genres with chart-busting glory. From their Beatles-esque ‘60s roots and the subsequent flowering of their own progressive pop-rock songwriting and performance style through their blue-eyed R&B superstardom and Saturday Night Fever disco-era domination, the Bee Gees constantly evolved and never stopped delivering timeless hits. The trio’s beautifully crafted, sonically enchanting work is one of the cornerstones of contemporary popular music, and this hit-packed compilation spotlights their career-spanning best.

Rating: - Bee Gee's at their finest
Lets keep this really simple. If you want the hits this is the collection for you. With the exception of their own interpretation of songs they wrote, were hits for others, every song is simply wonderful. The reviewer that said the sound quality was bad must have gotten a bootleg or something mine sounds spectacular. This is a great span of great melodies, harmonies and vocals, great writing/lyrics from one of the greatest groups around.

I was disappointed by new versions of Islands in the Stream and Heartbreaker versions that appear on this CD. I was hoping to hear the originals with Dionne Warwick and Dolly Parton.

The Bee Gees, inducted as a group into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1997, were one of those acts with little middle ground insofar as music fans were concerned: they were either loved or were reviled.
One thing is certain though, as both songwriters and performers they knew what the masses liked in their heyday, which ran from mid-1967 to 1979, putting 34 songs into the North American Billboard Pop Hot 100, with eight cross-overs to the R&B and 17 to the Adult Contemporary (AC) charts in that period, in addition to three more that made only the AC charts or the Hot 100 "Bubble Under" listings. They even managed to get one onto the Country charts (1978's Rest Your Love On Me. a # 39 Country as the flip of the # 1 Hot 100 Too Much Heaven - unfortunately, that B-side is not here).
After 1979 they added another nine to the Hot 100 from 1981 to 1997, one more R&B cross-over in ... Read More

What can I say? They are the Bee Gees afterall. Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb have been making great music for five decades and they are still a force in the music business in the 21st century. Although Maurice left us way too soon, I know that Barry and Robin will still continue to write great music for themselves and others. Barry Gibb is not just a song writer he is a poet. His lyrics make sense and they touch your heart. When most think of the Bee Gees they think Disco and Saturday Night Fever...how wrong they are just to limit this dynamic group to that era. I am only 38 years old and it wasn't until I turned 30 that I truly discovered who this group was and what they had done. They have forever changed the landscape of music. In one word, the Brothers Gibb are amazing.
