Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees died this week. He is the 2nd Bee gee to die, leaving just one of the 3 brothers. The Bee Gees were supporters of Israel, and in 1971 they even produced a song called "Israel". The Bee Gees never performed in Israel, but Robin Gibb performed solo in 2007.
Here is the Bee Gees "Israel", and following that is a clip from the 2007 performance by Robin Gibb.

Never knew that! (Never particularly cared for the Bee Gees's music either, but what the heck.) Thanks for the cool trivia!
ReplyDeleteThe Bee Gees were so pro-Israel that they named their group for the first Israeli Prime Minister, Ben Gurion, whose nickname was "Bee Gee"!!!
ReplyDeleteActually it stood for "Brothers Gibb"
