Top 20 Bee Gees Hits-Best Broadway

Brothers Barry and twins, Robin and Maurice Gibb comprised the group the Bee Gees. They first performed when Barry was eight years old and Robin and Maurice were six, in 1955.

Best Broadway

When the family moved to Australia in 1958, they performed as The Rattlesnakes, Wee Johnny Hayes and the Bluecats, The Gibbs, The BG's and finally the Bee Gees. Despite popular belief, their name is not short for Brothers Gibb. It was actually created by DJ Bill Gates by taking Barry's initials and racetrack promoter Bill Goode's mother Barbara's initials. Goode was responsible for introducing the Gibbs to Gates.

Their father, Hugh Gibb, sent demo tapes to Beatles manager Brian Epstein, who passed them on to Robert Stigwood. Stigwood signed the Bee Gees to a five-year contract with Polydor Records in 1967.

The first single to be released, "New York Mining Disaster 1941" went top 20 on the Billboard weekly charts. Their second single, "To Love Somebody" was originally written for Otis Redding and has since been covered by such artists as Rod Stewart, Janis Joplin and Michael Bolton, also went top twenty; as did their third single "Holiday."

It is said that the Bee Gees had two distinct musical successes; their soft rock period of the late 1960's and early 1970's and the leaders of a rejuvenated disco era in the late 1970's.

The Bee Gees composed the soundtracks for "Saturday Night Fever" and "Staying Alive" and they even did some acting in the 1978 film, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

On the charts, the Bee Gees traveled to the weekly Billboard Top 40 charts nearly 30 times, hitting the #1 spot nine times. Here's a look at the Bee Gees 20 biggest hits, according to the Billboard charts:

Night Fever - 1978 - one of three number one singles from the "Saturday Night Fever" album. Stayin' Alive - 1978 - their three number one singles from the "Saturday Night Fever" album held the #1 position for 15 weeks. How Can You Mend A Broken Heart? - 1971 - their first number one single. How Deep Is Your Love? - 1977 Too Much Heaven - 1979 - used as their contribution to the Music For UNICEF Concert and all royalties from this song were donated to the charity. Tragedy - the fifth of six consecutive number one singles between 1977 and 1979; a record only broken by Whitney Houston. Jive Talkin' - 1975 - from the "Main Course" album. Love You Inside Out - 1979 - their last #1 single. You Should Be Dancing - 1976 - a #1 single from the "Children of the World" album. Love So Right - 1976 Lonely Days - 1971 I Started A Joke - 1969 - from their third album, "Idea." Nights On Broadway - 1975 - featuring Barry Gibb's first attempts at singing falsetto. One - 1989 - their last top 10 single. I've Got To Get A Message To You - 1968 - their first top 10 single. (The Lights Went Out In) Massachusetts - 1967 - from their second album, "Horizontal." Fanny (Be Tender With My Love) - 1976 Boogie Child - 1977 New York Mining Disaster 1941(Have You Seen My Wife, Mr. Jones) - 1967 - their first top 20 U.S. single. Words - 1968

The Bee Gees were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1997.

Their younger brother, Andy, was a successful solo artist with three consecutive #1 singles. Andy died in 1988 at the age of 30.

With the sudden death of Bee Gees member, Maurice, in 2003, it looked like the Bee Gees would never record or perform again. In 2009, Robin and Barry agreed to reform the Bee Gees and they appeared that year on ABC TV's "Dancing With The Stars" and in 2010, they made a surprise appearance on the season finale of "American Idol."

A List of Popular Police Shows on Television

A List of Popular Police Shows on Television-Shows 2011

Positions in the field of law enforcement are some of the most publicized in the world. Almost everybody is fascinated with how police officers catch the criminals and the amount of thinking and hard work that goes into their jobs. There are a multitude of shows on television that feature police officers. These cop shows range from complete and utter fiction to more real shows that involve actual police officers rather than just actors. Often times on these shows officers will get into foot races with their suspects that involve the alleged criminals hopping over CT fencing and CT fences to try and get away from their pursuers, which more often than not still results in them getting caught.

Shows 2011

The classic cop show that really got the ball rolling so to speak is Cops. Nearly everybody in the country knows what Cops is and it has turned into a very successful and long running show. The show centers around a camera crew following police officers in their cars all across the country and filming them doing their job. Of course the job entails lots of different things and sometimes the police are called to settle some kind of dispute, sometimes they have to pull people over in their cars and other times they have to make arrests and break up fights. Some really funny things happen on the show such as one episode where a man had manufactured and smoked drugs in someone's home, then decided that he would hide in the trunk of his car. The police spent a fairly lengthy amount of time figuring out how to get him out of the trunk and, to everyone's surprise, when they got him out charged him with crimes related to producing drugs.

Another popular show about police falls under the genre of comedy and is essentially a fictional, humorous take on the aforementioned Cops. Reno 911 also features a camera crew following around the police, this time only in the city of Reno. The characters on the show are all very funny including the Lieutenant Dangle, a down on his luck head of the department who cannot control any of his employees. The officers on the show do ridiculous things and meet ridiculous people, such as one man who plays Dungeons and Dragons in his backyard and continually assaults people, and then tries to justify it within the context of the game.

Finally, another hit police show from the current decade is called,"CSI", and it is various and seemingly never ending spin off shows of the same name but with a city attached. "CSI", obviously to anybody who has ever seen it, is not funny but takes a look at the world of crime scene investigation and the use of forensics to track down criminals. Although the show is of course not entirely accurate, there are a few true things involved in that forensic evidence is often very important in solving crimes.

The world will probably not ever end its fascination with police work and watching TV shows that, sometimes accurately and sometimes inaccurately, display it.
