Barry Alan Crompton Gibb, CBE (born 1 September 1946) is a singer, songwriter, producer and both the eldest and last surviving Gibb brother.
He was born in the Isle of Man to English parents, the second-eldest of five siblings. With his younger brothers, twins Robin and Maurice, he formed the Bee Gees, one of the most successful pop groups of all time. Their younger brother Andy was also a popular singer. The trio got their start in Australia, and found their major success when they returned to England.
Known for his high-pitched falsetto singing voice, Gibb shares the record with John Lennon and Paul McCartney for consecutive Billboard Hot 100 Number Ones as a writer with six. The book of Guinness World Records lists Barry Gibb as the second most successful songwriter in history behind Paul McCartney.
Barry Gibb was born to Barbara and Hugh Gibb (d. 1992) in the Isle of Man. He has an older sister, Lesley (b. 1945), and had three younger brothers, fraternal twins Robin (1949–2012) and Maurice (1949–2003), and Andy (1958–1988). He and his family moved to Chorlton-cum-Hardy in Manchester in 1953. When he was 12 years old, his family moved to Brisbane, Australia, settling in one of the city's poorest suburbs, Cribb Island. The suburb was later bulldozed to make way for Brisbane Airport. It was in Australia that Gibb and his brothers Robin and Maurice started performing as the Bee Gees. The Gibb family returned to England in 1967. Shortly afterward, the Bee Gees became international stars.

Genres: Comedy,I give it up I can't play it if you don't mean it.
You want your lovin on a night time basis.
We don't belong. We don't stand together
Always put your love on the real thing
Always put your love on the real thing
I never wandered
I know my way around
And if you walk away I will not hold you down.
There will be nothing between you and I
I can live without your love,
I can say goodbye
Broken bottles don't mend
I've had enough, you've got me running and I'm all broke up.
My tears will end, there goes the last one now
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ohhh
You made my life complete
Baby watch out for the game you're playin
Oh baby got to be sweet, always risk your love on the real thing.
Always risk your love on the real thing.
Where ever I go,
Everything I ever say,
I will be looking back every single step of the way
There will be nothing my love will not break
I battled for your love, I see everything.
Broken bottles don't mend
I've had enough, you've got me running and I'm all broke up.
My tears will end, there goes the last one now
Ahh ahhh
I never wandered
I know my way around
And if you walk away I will not hold you down.
There will be nothing between you and I
Can live without your love,
I can say goodbye
Broken bottles don't mend
I've had enough, you've got me running and I'm all broke up.
My tears will end, there goes the last one now.
