The Bee Gees
Disco falsetto trio
The Bee Gees were a British-Australian pop group formed by brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb.
Active from the late 1960s through the early 2000s, they became icons of the disco era with falsetto-driven hits like "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever" from the *Saturday Night Fever* soundtrack.
Their close harmonies and songwriting influenced decades of pop music.
