Hawk, you either like 'em or you don't. The BeeGee sound was vocally tight as you get in blood harmony and they were excellent stylists.....if you like that style. Many of their songs from that early period (pre-disco and pre-Sgt. Pepper) had a sort of, I guess you'd have to say, "wimpy" sound and lyric. Listen to "Words," "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," "Got to Get a Message to You,"To Love Somebody," and "Massachusetts" and you'll get the idea.

They had one hell of a following and sold a shitload of records. Most of those songs played on every juke in the country. And to be truthful......yeah, I liked them...........still do. Maurice's death was tragic.   He was the somewhat silent genius that bound them.
