The Bee Gees made an explosive impact on the international music scene in April 1967 with the release of their debut album, New York Mining Disaster 1941. While this haunting classic would be the first of many chart-topping hits, it's important to note that the Bee Gees, consisting of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, had been releasing records since 1963. Incredibly, with more than ten years of performing and four years of recording under their belt, the Gibb twins, Robin and Maurice, were just seventeen years old, while their elder brother Barry was only twenty.

Over the course of an extraordinary career, the Bee Gees sold an astounding 200 million records, solidifying their status as one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Their accolades include inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Australian Recording Industry's Hall of Fame, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. They have also received lifetime achievement awards from the British Phonographic Industry, the American Music Awards, World Music Awards, and the Grammys.

According to Billboard magazine, the Bee Gees rank among the top three most successful bands in their charts' history. Few musical groups have had such a profound influence on our lives as the Bee Gees, and their journey began in the captivating decade of the 1960s.
