In 1971, the reunited Bee Gees had a US No.1 with 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?', and then 'Run to Me' was a UK Top 10 hit. Within a year they had released three albums and had six hit singles, but the release of their two disc Odessa was a stress too far for the brothers and they split for 15 months. By the following year they were on Top of the Pops having released Bee Gees First and finding success with the singles 'New York Mining Disaster 1941', 'Holiday' and 'To Love Somebody'. In 1966 they returned to Britain, intending to capitalize on the burgeoning music scene of the time. Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs was released in 1965 and proved to be a minor success, with 'Spicks and Specks' hitting No.1 in Australia. By 1960 they were singing on television shows and in 1963 they secured a record deal. Even from a young age the brothers were singing together in harmony. Though they were born on the Isle of Man, they had emigrated to Australia by the time Robin and Maurice were nine years old, in 1958. Of their 35 albums, 200 million copies have been sold, and most have hit the UK and US charts. Not only were they successful in their own right, with seven Grammys to their name, their body of work has been re-interpreted by a huge variety of other artists, from Elvis and Dolly Parton to Billy Corgan and Feist.
