I suppose this could be an announcement of sorts. But really, it’s a cool meme that I ran across elsewhere, and thought it would be fun to share.

Now showing on HBO Max:

Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart

This is a movie documentary. I watched it last night and it was very well done. They had a lot of ups and downs. I didn’t realize how many songs, many of them big hits, that they wrote for other artists. It is sad that Barry Gibb is the only surviving brother. He lives in Miami and still writes music and performs occasionally.

[BeatleloverKT]

In later years I discovered they wrote many 

successful songs for other artists. Islands

in the stream is just one. I saw an interview 

on tv awhile back with Barry. He’s crushed

with the loss of his brothers. Heavy burden

to be the last remaining sibling. (That’s the

position my Dad is in at 91) I will definitely 

have to watch. God bless The Bee Gees 🎼💜

[BeatleloverKT]

Saw that on the news. Looked her up out of curiosity. Wow. Her songwriting credits along with Mann were diverse and many. Here’s just a sampling:

Blame it on the Bossa Nova, Edie Gorme

Don’t know much, Ronstadt&Neville

He’s sure the boy l love, Crystals

Here you come again, Dolly Parton

Hungry, Kicks, Paul Revere&the Raiders

I just can’t help believin’, BJ Thomas

The list goes on! She also wrote the theme 

song for Christmas Vacation, the best Christmas

movie EVER. May she rest in peace 💜😢

[BobH07]

Cynthia Weil has died at age 82. She and her husband Barry Mann wrote many songs that became hits in the early 60s. Their biggest hit was the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Loving Feeling".

[BeatleloverKT]

Stevie Nicks is 75 today! Long may she rock on!
