21. A few years ago my oldest daughter gave me a CD as a Christmas gift. It held two of my favorite Robin Gibb songs. (I know, but it is so hard to pick one favorite. The music is so full of meaning and emotion. And the voice seems to touch my soul.)

First is “Saved By The Bell” from Robin’s 1969 solo album “Robin’s Reign” The is such a beautiful song which showcases Robin’s unique singing voice. When he sings “I died for you” it gives me chills. Then there is the song “Mother of Love”. Which was inspired by Maurice Gibb. It would become Robin’s first new song to be published since Maurice passed away. When Robin sings “Mother of love, angel of light.” I just want to hold him tight and take away all his pain.

As of this date this is my Gibb Brother’s collection of records. But as any true fan knows it could be added to at anytime.

14. “How Deep Is Your Love” (Single in 45RPM record format.) Released in 1976 the B-side was “Can’t Keep A Good Man Down”. Soon after this release the Bee Gees would begin the “Saturday Night Fever” craze!

15. Andy Gibb’s single “(Love Is) Thicker Than Water” on 45 RPM. Released in 1977 Andy wrote the song with older brother Barry. But Andy can take full credit for the B-side, “Words And Music”.

16. “Andy Gibb”(CD) This album was released in 1991, after Andy’s death(March 5, 1958- March 10, 1988). It includes eleven of Andy’s hit songs in addition to the song “Man on Fire”. This song Andy wrote with Maurice and Barry. It is from Andy’s final recording sessions.
