An illustrated biography of one of the biggest bands ever, in words, photographs and rare memorabilia.
Brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb trailblazed their way across pop music since the 1960s and were the first band to top the UK singles chart in each of three decades and the first group to have Top 20 hits in five decades. In America, Barry is the most successful British songwriter in US chart history, after the legendary Lennon & McCartney. This beautifully designed book tells their amazing story in words, photographs and rare memorabilia.

The group's worldwide record sales are over 220 million – including Saturday Night Fever, the best-selling soundtrack of all time – and the list of star artists who have recorded their compositions reads like a best-of chart and features the likes of Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, Dionne Warwick, Destiny's Child, Al Green, Rod Stewart and Take That. They were awarded CBEs in 2002 in recognition of their extraordinary contribution to music.

Brian Southall began writing about pop music in the 1960s on a local newspaper before graduating to the likes of Melody Maker and Disc. He then pursued a 30-year career in the record business working for A&M, Tamla Motown, EMI and Warner Music. His first book – the official history of Abbey Road Studios – was published in 1982 and since then he has written The A-Z of Record Labels; the Sex Pistols 90 Days at EMI, Northern Songs – the story of the Beatles music publishing; If You Don't Know Me By Now – the authorized story of Simply Red; Pop Goes To Court; and most recently The Rise & Fall of EMI.
