| Ken Marshall Posts: 804 Joined: 20th Jun 2012 Location: Australia | Posted at 08:53 on 6th June 2013 Yes Dave, your answer is correct. Barry Gibb was born on the Isle of Man and grew up in Manchester (England),Redcliffe (Australia) and Cribb Island (Australia). In 1977, Gibb saw five of his songs simultaneously enter the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100, and for one week in March, four of the top five songs were written by him. His songs were No. 1 for 27 out of 37 weeks from 24 December 1977 to 2 September 1978. As a songwriter Gibb has had No. 1 songs in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s 1990s and 2000s. Over to you. |
