Half a century after three teenage brothers decided to give a career in music a go, the Bee Gees are among the most successful and enduring names in popular music history.

Trailblazing their way across pop music since the 1960s, Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb have made their songs Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, To Love Somebody, and I Started a Joke, timeless.

Filled with staggering highs - especially as they became the definitive band of the disco era - The Little Guide to the Bee Gees is packed with quotes perfect for the music-lover in your life and just might help you stay alive.

'Contrary to popular belief, we have no leader. We call it a democratic dictatorship.' - Maurice Gibb

'We are brothers first, a pop group second.' - Barry Gibb

'Show business is something you have to have in you when you're born.' - Robin Gibb

Alive and kicking: For five decades, the Brothers Gibb have given the world more earworms, across more genres of music, than any other in history * Brothers in harmony: Famed for their tight three-part harmonies and magical song-writing connection, Robin, Maurice and Barry composed hundreds of songs together * Disco Beatles: The band have been called many things, but this is possibly the best way to sum up their influence, invention and inspiration * Jive Talkin': The Bee Gees may have been revered for their 'Jive Talkin'', but it was their wit that got them into trouble more * Tragedies: When the band wrote their famous hit, 'Tragedy', it came from real-life, with the group experiencing more than their fair share of death, self-destruction and ill-health * Comeback Kings: You can't keep a good Bee Gee down. The band proved that the key to longevity in the music business is stayin' alive without stayin' the same.
