There are plenty of compilations out there of the Bee Gees, but this pick is one I made about The Bee Gees as songwriters. These are all songs that other artists did, but the Bee Gees wrote. Some that they did later (or maybe released later). The only one that I know was originally made for Andy Williams, but they kept it was How Can You Mend A Broken Heart. Although Andy did cover it much later, one of the first covers is by Al Green and I like that version. Otis Redding was the supposed person they wrote the song To Love Somebody for, but he died before having the chance to record it. The Flying Burrito Brothers do a passably good job on it anyway. They did do versions of the Tavares tune, theYvonne Elliman tune, the Samantha Sang tune, but they weren't released until later after those artists had their shot with it. Great singers, but also great songwriters. And this is just a sampling of that talent. I did make a couple more comps but divided by who was the one of the three that had the main vocal or writing/influence on each song (plus some solo stuff). So one comp for Barry, one for Maurice, one for Robin. I'm not sure I will post those, unless there is someone who wants them?
