Between January and April of 1971 Robin, Maurice and Barry recorded their latest album “Trafalgar”. For the new album Robin wrote “After The Laughter”, which ended up being an outtake. Barry and Robin wrote “Dearest”, “Amorous Aristocracy” (outtake), “Child” (outtake), “Lion In Winter”, “Remembering”, “When Do I” and “We Lost The Road” (which became an outtake on the “Trafalgar” album. But did appear on the Bee Gees next album “To Whom It May Concern”).

Robin, Maurice and Barry came together to write “Deep In The Dark Of Day” (outtake), “God’s Good Grace” (outtake) and “Walking Back To Waterloo”.

During the year Robin and Barry also wrote “If I Were The Sky”, which would be covered by Peter Maffay. And “My World” which the Bee Gees would release as a single on January 1972. It would also appear on “Best of Bee Gees Vol. 2″ in June 1973. The brothers proved they were back in force when “Lonely Days” (written by Robin, Maurice and Barry in 1970 for the “2 Years On” album) reached number three on the US singles charts. And “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart” (written by Robin and Barry in 1970 and appearing on the brothers “Trafalgar” album) hit number one in the US charts.
