"GIBB
CONTRASTS"

Transcript by Anne Marie
The brothers Barry and Robin Gibb have broken apart with Barry continuing as the leader of the Bee Gees and Robin making a big hit as a solo artist the pictures on this page
show how they have drawn apart even in appearance.
For Barry it is still the flower-cuffed jacket and chain round the neck. For Robin it is a well-fitting suit, a collar and a tie, and a much shorter hair cut and a clean shaven face. Very different from when he was a Bee Gee.The split has been a success all round, however, the remaining Bee Gees are still very successful, with “Don’t Forget To Remember” at no 12 (from 25) this week. And Robin is at No 3 (from 2) with ‘Saved By The Bell’. Polydor are happy with two hits in place of one too!
