Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb dies after cancer battle

Exempt? They are not even on the same page. These people re real artists. But then are some of those who present taste disdains - and I enjoy. Dolly Parton for instance. Great songwriter. Superb entertainer and a very smart businesswoman. I saw her in concert two times - in Nashville and in London. Superb. But I also enjoy Roy Rogers, the sons of the pioneers, hank snow, Johnny Cash and June Carter and a lot of others.
Mind you Cash was a brilliant artist as well.

The Bee Gees wrote Dolly Parton's hit Islands in the Stream FYI.

Soft spot for Gene Autry, truth be told. I also have every single one of Johnny Cash's truly monumental American series. For an increasingly frail and lonely man, they are an astounding achievement and a wonderful legacy.

Back on topic. DJs in the UK seem to have had a universally 540shared lapse of memory and taste when, almost to a man and woman, the first Bee Gees song they played on hearing of Robin Gibb's passing was "Stayin' Alive". Oh well....

Yes and I actually prefer the Bee Gees version (although the Dolly/KR version was good).



I also like the single 'Alone' they came out with in 97
