| - Robin Gibb is a Bee Gee
- Robin Gibb (1949-2012) was a singer and songwriter who, with brothers Barry and Maurice, formed the group The Bee Gees, becoming an influential part of the disco era. Gibb personally helped usher Sesame Street into the world of glittering balls and Grover impersonating John Travolta, by serving as guest vocalist on the album Sesame Street Fever. On that album, he performed the song "Trash" and sang the lead vocal on the title track "Sesame Street Fever," as well as talking to Cookie Monster during the intro to the disco version of "C is for Cookie."
- When Robin was four, the Gibb family moved to Manchester. Robin loved to play with fire and would take boxes of matches from the kitchen. His mother said he would start fires anywhere he wanted and called him a "firebug." One fire he set even went to the point of police attention. When he was six, he began to sing three-part harmonies with Barry and Maurice, just for fun. The brothers soon formed their first band, the Rattlesnakes. During their time in Manchester, they would play at local venues and clubs, earning them a picture in the newspaper.

During their time in Manchester, they would play at local venues and clubs, earning them a picture in the newspaper. In 1958, right after Andy was born, the family sailed to Australia, getting settled in Morton's Bay, and then moving to Brisbane. The brothers would perform at Redcliffe Speedway in between races. They would all sing and Barry would play the guitar.
