The Bee Gees, brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, were born on the Isle of Man and grew up in Manchester, England. They even had their own skiffle/rock group, the Rattlesnakes in the '50s. At the end of the fifties, the family moved from England to Queensland, Australia. The brothers began recording and eventually had a hit in Australia with their twelfth single release, Spicks and Specks.
They returned to England in 1967 and hooked up with producer/promoter/manager Robert Stigwood who brought them to worldwide fame.The Bee Gees became the third most successful band in Billboard Magazine's chart history, right after The Beatles and The Supremes.
