2/2. Paul Gambaccini concludes a career tribute to English brethren pop act the Bee Gees, who dodged initial comparisons to the Beatles with their singularly melancholic and melodramatic sound, which they would reinvent tirelessly across five decades. Maurice Gibb died in 2003, but surviving brothers Barry and Robin reflect on a vast repertoire marked by lush ballads and the trio's own brand of psychedelia, R&B, disco and country, plus collaborative successes with pop divas Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick and Diana Ross. There's also a rare interview with esteemed Bee Gees manager Robert Stigwood.
