These days, our impressions of the Bee Gees are largely colored by the really funny SNL skits featuring Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake...and, of course, their disco period spurred by "Saturday Night Fever". I happen to like some of their music from the disco age (now sounds prehistoric!), but I LOVE their pre-Travolta phase. They actually burst onto the scene in the late 60s with tight harmonies, a la Everly Brothers and Beach Boys. Here are three, early songs performed in later years. "I Started A Joke"
"Massachusetts"
"To Love Somebody"
Bee Gees
Porter Tubb
I agree about the pre-Travolta Bee Gees music. Always loved "New York Mining Disaster 1941" which I just learned was actually their first song released in the U.S.
