The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s.
The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
Born in the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived their first few years in Chorlton, Manchester, England, then moved in the late 1950s to Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia, where they began their musical careers. After achieving their first chart success in Australia with "Spicks and Specks" (their 12th single), they returned to the United Kingdom in January 1967 where producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience.
Gees is a village in the Netherlands and it is part of the Coevorden municipality in Drenthe. Gees had a population of 610 in 2004. Its elevation is 16 meters (55 feet).
Gees is also the term used to describe the patriotic feeling experienced by South Africans during the 2010 Fifa World Cup.

In a land of nowhere and a time of the past,
there was a boy in shrouds of patches and black.
If that boy had given up his home and turned his back,
he didn't feel lost, because he was never on track...
Have you ever asked what's more painful than being
alone, and gotten an answer? Well let me tell you a
tale....
Well he was not a friend, and a troubled soul he was,
but a comrade he found, and for him that was enough!
They took to each other faster than the naked eye could
see,
and took to angry teen-age activities.
They stole what they wanted, & broke what they could
not.
They were no longer children, but creatures without
thought.
To walk past them was fear of their hearts, and foul
disgust.
The duo's crimes worsened with each passing day,
people became wallets with a different face,
the risk was heightened and a pact was made...
Forever brothers is what they were and how they stayed,
for being alone was the worst way to fade...
So they walked together, and they fought together,
money painted their houses and the women came like
sheep.
But what is enough? Too bad a little more was always
the plan...
So a little bit more became a little too much, and a
man died for their money lust.
He was shot in the head, right between the eyes...
When the police came he was the only one there, to his
surprise!
Just as quick there, he was just as quick gone, and
just like that...
His brother had moved on...
There was no law that could hurt him more than what his
brother had done.
So ask again, what's more painful than being alone?
Although too late he had found his answer, the betrayal
