The Bee Gees: Songs
built 624 days ago
In the month after the Beatles unveiled Sgt Peppers, the Bee Gees released their First LP in England on 14 July 1967. Colin Peterson, then the Bee Gees’ drummer, said these were "fantastic sessions in the studio…very, very inventive". The LP showed the band experimenting extensively with orchestrated arrangements, and tackling a diverse range of song subjects. Ossie’s production showed little evidence of any technical inadequacy. The sound was warm, even lush on occasions. On some cuts the orchestration approaches symphonic, yet always the voices, the harmonies and melodies, are the central focus, beautifully framed by Bill Shepherd and Phil Dennys’ fine arrangements.

The big-lunged R&B songbird became the first artist to score seven consecutive No. 1 hits, beating the record of six held by The Beatles and the Bee Gees. She paved the way for Mariah Carey’s chart-topping vocal gymnastics and countless copycats.

Like a breath of fresh air, the smooth sounds of New Radicals hit the world with the subtle and understated Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too. New Radicals are the one man project of one Gregg Alexander, who has crafted a refreshing blend of soulful tunes with a unique and truly capturing perspective. The classic and reason to buy is the truly wonderful "You Get What You Give." With a floating groove of piano notes, capturing music and the soothing voice of Alexander, the track is just magic. "You Get What You Give" is ... a very good introduction to the style and uninhibited groove of the New Radicals. Although there isn't much in the way of variance, the songs come off new and unique.

Geoff had been in the RAAF during WW2, at one time stationed in Borneo, but he didn’t know Ossie or Nat during the war. He remembers meeting Nat at the Coolangatta Hotel one Thursday night in the mid-1950s. Geoff and Lucky Grills were partners in a show at the hotel, and Nat arrived to catch their act. Nat continued to come to the hotel each Thursday, insisting each time that Geoff publish a song that Geoff had written called "I’ve been everywhere". Geoff hadn’t been so sure – "It was only my opening number, you know, but Nat kept on at me." The song was eventually recorded by Lucky Starr, stormed to number one across Australia, was covered by the Canadian country star, Hank Snow, and is one of the most successful songs ever written by an Australian.
