Few bands have experienced such extreme highs and lows as the Beegis.

Throughout their decades-long career, the band of brothers managed to be both grossly underrated

and also one of the best-selling live acts of all time.

Barry Gibb and his younger twin brothers, Marisa and Robin started out in the late 50s

as a teenage pop group in Australia.

Their impeccable three-part harmony caught the ear of the prominent UK manager, Robert Stigwood,

got a heavy hand and molded in the Beegis into a world we now grew.

By 1969 though, the band imploded due to power struggles and battles with addiction.

A year and a half later, the Beegis were back together.

And after a few fits and starts in 1976, Barry Gibb discovered his famed false set up.

Their classic run of disco hits followed, including the Saturday Night Fever soundtracks,

which was the highest-selling soundtrack of all time until the bodyguard in 1992.

On today's episode, Rick Roman talks to Barry Gibb about his new Dave Cobb produced

Apple, which features country music-inspired renditions of the Gibb's brother's brilliant

songbook with guest features on every track.

They also talk through the making of some of Rick's favorite Beegis songs, and Barry

recalls what it was like producing Barbara Streisand, who wouldn't sing a single note

before 2am.
