The Bee Gees were a singing trio of brothers who achieved worldwide success with their tight harmonies and distinctive voices. Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, they moved to Australia during their childhood years and began their musical careers there. After returning to the UK and signing with producer Robert Stigwood, they experienced two periods of exceptional success: as a harmonic 'soft rock' act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as disco music stars in the late 1970s.

It was the Bee Gees first and only UK No. 1 album., and topped the charts in a number of other countries around the globe, and included hit singles Tragedy, Too Much Heaven and Love You Inside Out.
