Bee Gee’s ‘front man’ Robin Gibb, died yesterday at the age of 62. The disco singer passed away after a long battle with colorectal cancer, leaving brother Barry as the only living member of the legendary Australian pop trio. Stayin’ Alive, Warm Ride, You Should Be Dancing and More Than A Woman are just some Bee Gee’s hits that changed the course of your parents’ lives.
But it’s not just the grey haired mourning Gibbs death, the singer leaves a legacy of popular modern day remixes on his departure.
Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Wyclef and The Rapture are just some modern day acts who owe their most celebrated songs and remixes to Robin Gibb’s high sky waist band and even higher voice.
