🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- THE DOOMSDAY DJ: TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE The Bee Gees twin brothers Robin and Maurice Gibb were born on the Isle of Man on this day in 1949 (December 22) After emigrating from the UK, the Gibb brothers started their career in Australia and went on to become one of the most dominant bands in the world. The Bee Gees have sold over 120 million records worldwide (with estimates as high as over 220 million), making them among the best-selling music artists of all time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997; the Hall's citation says, "Only Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney have outsold the Bee Gees." With nine #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, the Bee Gees are the third-most successful band in Billboard charts history behind only the Beatles and the Supremes. Following Maurice's sudden death from a heart attack in January 2003 at the age of 53, Barry and Robin retired the group's name after 45 years of activity. In 2009, Robin announced that he and Barry had agreed that the Bee Gees would re-form and perform again. Robin died from kidney failure after suffering cancer in May 2012, aged 62, after a prolonged period of failing health, leaving Barry as the only surviving member of the group. #beegees, #robingibb, #mauricegibb, #ivegottagetamessagetoyou, #nightfever, #saturdaynightfever, #jivetalking, #twins, #stayinalive, #howdeepisyourlove, #tragedy, #morethanawoman, #70smusic, #youshouldbedancing, #dailyrockhistory, #thisdayinmusic, #onthisday, #rockandrollhalloffame "Pure signal,no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- THE DOOMSDAY DJ: TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE On this day in 1985, Heart’s self-titled LP went to #1 on the US Billboard 200 Albums Chart (December 21) Despite having a career featuring some brilliant LPs, this was Heart's only album to ever top the US Billboard 200. The album also contained the band's first ever US #1 single, "These Dreams", along with four other singles: "What About Love", "Never", "Nothin' at All", and "If Looks Could Kill", with the first four all reaching the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. The lyrics for “These Dreams” were written by legendary Elton John collaborator Bernie Taupin, who wrote it with Stevie Nicks in mind, but she turned it down, as did Kim Carnes, before it was offered to Heart. Singer-songwriter Martin Page, (who co-wrote "We Built This City" and "King of Wishful Thinking"), composed the music. On the album, this song was dedicated to Sharon Hess, a good friend of Nancy Wilson's who died of Leukemia. At the 28th Annual Grammy Awards, the album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. #heart, #annwilson, #nancywilson, #thesedreams, #80smusic, #80srock, #womeninrock, #thisdayinrock, #rockhistory, #dailyrockhistory, #thisdayinmusic, #onthisday "Pure signal,no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️
