The Bee Gees 'Number Ones' album

The Bee Gees, the most successful trio of all-time and the most successful brother act of all-time, are pop music’s first family.

The voices of Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb have been indelibly imprinted on the soundtrack of popular culture for five decades and counting. Blazing musical trails, they have created an enduring legacy. Their iconic place in pop music history is forever assured and their influence, as recording artists as well as songwriters and producers, continues unabated.

November 9 will mark the release of NUMBER ONES (Polydor/UMe), the ultimate collection of hits from the Bee Gees.

Packed with one smash after another from their acclaimed body of work, NUMBER ONES marks the first time that all 10 U.S. #1 hit singles--and eight other #1s from around the world--are presented in a single-CD package. The 19-track collection spans 20 years (1967-1987) and includes a bonus track (“Man In The Middle”) specifically included at the request of Barry and Robin as a tribute to their late brother Maurice.

Number Ones begins with the Rock & Hall of Fame inductees’ first U.K. #1, 1967’s “(The Lights Went Out In) Massachusetts.” It goes on to trace the BEE GEES’ musical legacy around the world: the early “World” and “Words” (both #1 in Germany) and 1971’s “Lonely Days” (the group’s first U.S. #1 on Cashbox and #3 on Billboard, marking their first U.S. gold record); the history-making Album of the Year Grammy Award-winning Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (“How Deep Is Your Love”--Top 10 for 17 straight weeks, setting a Billboard record--“Stayin’ Alive” and “Night Fever”); Spirits Having Flown’s “Too Much Heaven,” “Tragedy” and “Love You Inside Out”; and the most recent Bee Gees #1, 1987’s “You Win Again” (#1 U.K.).

In addition, a limited edition of the CD will include a bonus DVD which features performances never before aired in the U.S. from the U.K. television program “An Audience With.” The songs performed are: “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart,” “How Deep Is Your Love,” “Jive Talkin’,” “Massachusetts,” and “I Started A Joke.”
