In the 1970s, The Bee Gees established themselves as innovative and versatile artists. Their songs scored a turbulent decade of global cultural change and discovery. 

The Bee Gees’ music and image has long been synonymous with the 1970s and the career trajectory of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb in those ten years meanders between dizzying highs and devastating lows. In 1970, the band split after succumbing to the pressures and excesses of their first wave of international fame in the latter part of the 1960s, but by 1979 they were one of the most successful music acts on the planet. In between, the brothers crafted timeless works that defied genre, transcended societal boundaries, and inspired generations of listeners.  

Foreword by Spencer Gibb.
