Robin Gibb has been a principal member of one of the most celebrated songwriting teams and recording groups of all time who were noted for their versatile singing and songwriting producing hits over a two decade span: The Bee Gees,

From their early days in their native England to their childhood musical successes in Australia to their later status as world conquerors with their platinum 'Saturday Night Fever' soundtrack, the Bee Gees have had more careers, and hit records, than any band. Prolific songwriters that they have been, this doesn't even take into account the numerous hits other artists have had with their songs.

For most of his life Robin Gibb legendary status, along with his brothers Barry and Maurice, has long been established worldwide.

Robin's trademark ethereal voice has been a key identity in the Bee Gees sound, and he molded his own musical identity with a number of solo releases, including the number one hits Saved by the Bell and Juliet. Robin continuously develops new songs and ideas in his home studio, occasionally writing and producing for other artists, and adds his distinct vocals to selected projects, some of these for charities.

Robin was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2001/2002 New Year's Honors List, along with his brothers Maurice and Barry.

In November 2006, Robin released an album of Christmas carols called Robin Gibb - My Favourite Carols, backed by one of London choirs. The album also features a brand new song written by Robin called "Mother of Love", which was released in Europe as a download single.

The first of March 2008 will be a great date to remember, having the Bee Gees’ Robin Gibb performing for the first time in the Middle East and gulf region for a highly entertaining show thrilling his remarkable number of fans.
