The Bee Gees were a famous band made up of three brothers: Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb. They sang beautiful songs together and became stars all over the world. Now, their kids are keeping the music alive, especially Barry’s sons, Stephen and Ashley, who love making music just like their dad.
Stephen, Barry’s oldest son, started playing guitar when he was 13. He joined cool metal bands like Black Label Society. Ashley, another son, also got into music. Together, Stephen and Ashley teamed up with their dad, Barry, to write songs and help him make music again in the 2000s. Barry told Billboard, “My sons make me feel young. They give me energy!”
The three of them worked together on songs for a 2005 album called Guilty Pleasures by Barbra Streisand, a famous singer. They wrote music as a family, used new tools to create songs, and even talked about tough times they’d been through. It brought them closer. Ashley said, “We could finally say what we really felt. It was okay to be honest.” Barry added, “You can hear our family story in the album.”
Here are some songs they wrote together for Guilty Pleasures:
1. “All the Children” – Barbra Streisand (2005)
Barry, Ashley, and Stephen wrote this happy song. It says, “All the children will send out love to everyone, and dance and sing for you.” It’s a cheerful tune about kids spreading joy.
2. “Stranger in a Strange Land” – Barbra Streisand (2005)
This song is about feeling lost but still having love. Barry sings with Barbra, “I’ll be your heart and mind, my love is here for a stranger far away.” The family wrote it together.
3. “Come Tomorrow” – Barbra Streisand (2005)
In this song, Barry and Barbra take turns singing, “I’ll be your hero, don’t make me wait, because tomorrow might be too late.” It’s a teamwork song by Barry, Ashley, and Stephen.
4. “Golden Dawn” – Barbra Streisand (2005)
This slow, pretty song talks about a dream fading away: “One golden dawn, one summer night, it wandered away.” The Gibbs wrote it as a family.
Barry didn’t just write—he sang and played guitar on the album too. He also helped make the whole thing sound great. Working with his sons turned music into a family adventure!
