The choppy clicking beat that drives the Bee Gees classic 70s hit “Jive Talkin'” was inspired by the noise that the Gibb Brothers car made as it crossed the Julia Tuttle Causeway Bridge in Miami. I wonder how many other songs were influenced by bridge related sounds?
This is a very brief post to wish Bee Gee Robin Gibb all the best in his continuing recovery from colon cancer. he said ‘Well, it’s all simple. I was diagnosed with a growth in my colon. It was removed. And I’ve been treated for that by a brilliant doctor, and in their own words ‘the results have been spectacular’.
he is also preparing to release his first classical composition based on the story of the Titanic and called ‘Titanic Requiem’. He collaborated with his son RJ on the project and will lead a performance of the work with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on 10th April. Which is the 100th anniversary of the launch of the doomed cruise liner.
