Robin Gibb: The Songwriter (cont.)
In late 1979 Robin Gibb and Blue Weaver began work to produce the “Sunrise” album for soul singer Jimmy Ruffin. Which would be released in May. The first songs they worked on were “Where Do I Go” (written by Robin, Maurice, Barry and Andy) and “Nobody” (written by Robin, Maurice and Barry). Both songs were written for the “Spirits Having Flown” album but not used. Robin reworked the lyrics for “Nobody” and it became “Forever”. Jimmy did a duet with Marcy Levy for “Where Do I Go”. For the “Sunrise” album Robin and Blue Weaver wrote “Two People”, “Searchin’ “,”Night Of Love”, “Jealousy”, “Hold On (To My Love)” and “Changin’ Me”.
Robin let his R+B style come out on the “Searchin’ “song.
