Everyone has their favourite era of the Bee Gees' career, but so much is still unclear about this celebrated but often misunderstood band. This book will provide the perfect route in, pulling together every fascinating strand to tell the story of these pioneering, melancholic masters of pop.
Uniquely, the Bee Gees' tale spans the entire modern pop era - they are the only group to have scored British top-ten singles in the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s - and includes world-conquering disco successes like 'Stayin' Alive' and 'More Than a Woman', both from the soundtrack of hit film Saturday Night Fever.
But the Bee Gees' extraordinary career was one of highs and lows. From a vicious but temporary split in 1969 to several unreleased albums, disastrous TV and film appearances, and a demoralising cabaret season, the group weren't always revelling in the glow of million-selling albums, private jets and UNICEF concerts. Yet, even in the Gibbs' darkest times, their music was rarely out of the charts, as sung by the likes of Al Green, Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton and Diana Ross.
Award winning author Bob Stanley captures the human story at the heart of the Bee Gees in this lyrical and stylish read.
'Finally, the definitive biography of the Bee Gees. Bob Stanley tells one of the most extraordinary stories in the history of pop, epic and mythical, with tales of heart-stopping joy and sadness. Bee Gees: Children of the World does full justice to the Gibb brothers' extraordinary musical legacy. I pretty much inhaled it in one sitting.' Pete Paphides
'Meticulously researched, endlessly entertaining, written with both love and a cool critical eye, Bee Gees: Children of the World wins again and again.' Alexis Petridis

Absolutely brilliant service from books about art
Books About Art have so many wonderful books!!! I was worried at first, since I'm a bit of a bookworm, that they'd only have big glossy "coffee-table" style books - you know the type, just with big arty photos? (Which are fine, if they're what you're into!!!) But no, they have plenty of great books you can actually READ!!!
They are fabulously priced & they post really quickly!!! Plus they package the orders really well, so there's no risk of your precious books being damaged....
Thank you Books About Art - you're AMAZING!!!
This is such a rich and detailed book. The examples here are wide ranging and really document an amazing journey of graphic design through the ages. It is really well printed and presented. An absolute feast for the eyes! (Plus it'll bring back a lot of memories)
