Di seguito gli interventi pubblicati in questa sezione, in ordine cronologico.
Secondo "Great American Country", sito specializzato in notizie sulla musica country, Barry Gibb avrebbe realizzato un duetto con T.G. Sheppard, artista country molto popolare negli U.S.A. e vicino di casa (a Nashville) di Barry.
Il duetto sarà inserito nel nuovo album di Sheppard, che secondo quanto lo stesso ha dichiarato nel corso di un'intervista radiofonica rilasciata a Lew Jones (giornalista di GAC), è interamente costituito da collaborazioni con artisti della scena country, del calibro di Willie Nelson, Lorrie Morgan e Merle Haggard. Il titolo provvisoro dell'album è "Partners In Rhyme".
Non ci sono ancora notizie circa la data di uscita del disco di che trattasi.

Legends Q&A: This Month's Question August 2007 By Lew Jones
Q: I am looking for the artist that sings "Smooth Sailing." I thought that it may be Don Williams, but I am not sure. I would like to get a copy of that song.

(Crystal, Palestine, TX)
Q: I am trying to find all the information that I can on an old song titled "When Can We Do This Again," including who sang it. I would consider this song to be classic.
(Lloyd, Wichita Falls, TX)
A: The singer of both songs is T.G. Sheppard. "Smooth Sailin'" was a Top 10 hit for T.G. in 1980. Crystal, you can find it on T.G. Sheppard Super Hits, which came out in 2000. It also includes big hits such as "Party Time" and "Slow Burn". As for Lloyd's song, I can only find "When Can We Do This Again" on T.G.'s 1978 LP, Daylight. If you still have a record player, with a little luck, you can find it. In a recent radio interview, T.G. told me that he's back in the studio, working on a duets album with the working title Partners In Rhyme which will feature such other artists as Willie Nelson, Lorrie Morgan, Merle Haggard, and even Barry Gibb. No word yet on a label or release date. Also, congratulations are in order. T.G. and girlfriend Kelly Lang have announced a wedding date of August 20!

Un quinto remix, ("Stayin' Alive", a cura del gruppo pop/rock svedese Teddybears) è stato aggiunto alla tracklist della ristampa di "Bee Gees Greatest" (vedi l'articolo del 19 luglio in questo blog) , in uscita il prossimo 18 settembre su etichetta Rhino. Si va ad aggiungere ai quattro in precedenza annunciati ed ai due "inediti" ("Warm ride" e la versione extended di "Stayin'alive").
Nel sito della casa discografica sono presenti inoltre alcune note di presentazione del disco ed alcuni video dei Bee Gees.

"Bee Gees Greatest (Special Edition)"
There's no “Jive Talkin'” here except for the Bee Gees chart-topping single, one of many legendary '70s-era classics from the Brothers Gibb on this bonus-packed, updated 2-CD reissue of their five-years-out-of-print hits compilation BEE GEES GREATEST.
The collection was first released in 1979 as a double LP, 20-track set that hit #1 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart. Rhino's remastered & expanded remaking of it features all that original greatness plus two previously unreleased tracks - including one song making its recording debut - and scorching new remixes of four immortal hits from Saturday Night Fever.
This historic reissue coincides with Paramount Home Entertainment's 30th Anniversary Special Collector's Edition of the film classic Saturday Night Fever, a defining statement of the disco era - but perhaps not as much as its companion soundtrack, which was dominated by Bee Gees smashes. That landmark 1977 #1 title - also newly reissued by Rhino in 30th anniversary splendor - has sold in excess of 30 million copies, is one of the top-selling soundtracks ever and is #131 on Rolling Stone's list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.”
It's also the source for six of GREATEST's all-time greatest from Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, including five #1 smashes: “Jive Talkin',” “How Deep Is Your Love,” “You Should be Dancing,” the GRAMMY®winning “Night Fever” and “Stayin' Alive,” plus “More Than A Woman To Me.”
Four of those classic songs also boast feverish new, previously unreleased bonus remixes on GREATEST from hot contemporary mixers and producers: “You Should Be Dancing” (Jason Bentley/Philip Steir Remix); “If I Can't Have You” (Count Da Money Remix); “Night Fever” (Future Funk Squad Remix); and “How Deep Is Your Love (Supreme Beings Of Leisure Remix).”
GREATEST, which overall spotlights the ultimate hits from Bee Gees studio albums released between 1975 and 1979, also boasts standouts including the #1 pop singles “Love You Inside Out,” “Tragedy” and “Too Much Heaven,” as well as the signature songs “Nights On Broadway” and “Spirits (Having Flown).”
In addition to the bold new remixes, bonus material also includes the recorded debut of the previously unissued song “Warm Ride” and the rare 12”, promo-only version of “Stayin' Alive.”
You could have been dancin' for the past five years, but it would have been without a new copy of GREATEST to call your own. That's remedied now with Rhino's makeover of the previously retired title, reborn as GREATEST (SPECIAL EDITION). The only authentic Bee Gees '70s era-centric hits collection available, it's made even more special with new remixes of four iconic SNF grooves.
Bee Gees' marathon legacy spans five decades, seven platinum albums, eight GRAMMYs, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and over 60 chart hits - including six straight #1 singles. Look for Rhino's other Bee Gees titles, all part of our first-ever restoration of the legendary group's extensive catalog, which will eventually be revitalized and upgraded in its entirety. GREATEST also includes a special hidden track of Stayin' Alive as remixed by Scandinavian rock/pop sensations Teddybears.

La colonna sonora del film-documentario "Artic Tale", distribuito dalla Paramount e realizzato in collaborazione con National Geographic, conterrà una delle due canzoni inedite che Barry Gibb rese disponibili solo su iTunes lo scorso anno.
Si tratta di "Underworld", (l'altra era "Dr. Mann"), che sarà dunque pubblicata per la prima volta su CD.
Il film, che esordirà nelle sale USA il prossimo 25 luglio, è realizzato dallo stesso team del documentario la "Marcia dei Pinguini", che nel 2005 riscosse anche in Italia un buon riscontro, accompagnato da una brillante narrazione di Fiorello.
"Arctic Tale" è ispirato ad un libro (omonimo) della scrittrice Rebecca Baines, e racconta i viaggi paralleli di due cuccioli di tricheco e di orso polare mentre combattono per la sopravvivenza nell'alta Artide.
La colonna sonora, oltre alla canzone di Barry, include inediti di Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) ed Aimee Mann, nonchè contributi (non inediti) di Sheryl Crow e Pearl Jam. (Fonte: IGN music )

"Per favore state sicuri che mi vedrete ancora cantare dal vivo. Non sono finito. Potreste ritrovarmi presto in un teatro vicino a casa vostra..."
E' l'afffermazione più interessante rilasciata nel corso della chat con i fans tenuta da Barry Gibb lo scorso 15 giugno. Nel corso dell'incotro virtuale tenutosi su www.barrygibb.com, l'artista ha anche dichiarato che ha intenzione di realizzare un tour mondiale.
"In questo momento mi piacerebbe fare un tour mondiale, ed il mio piano è di riformare la band originale (Dennis Bryon, Blue Weaver ed Alan Kendall) per dei concerti da tenere tra la primavera e l'estate dell'anno prossimo. Ci vogliamo bene e ne abbiamo parlato tutti. Sarebbe un grande divertimento."
Alla domanda di un fan sull'eventualità che Robin prenda parte a tale progetto, Barry ha risposto: "Sto cercando di darvi risposte serie, davvero non sono in grado di dirlo..."
Barry ha pure detto che era nervoso durante la recente esibizione ad "American Idol" , "perchè avevo bisogno di provare a me stesso mentalmente ed emozionalmente che esibirmi è qualcosa che ancora voglio fare. Mi è davvero piaciuto cantare dopo tutto questo tempo" Barry ha acennato anche al fatto di essere stato molto sotto pressione durante l'operazione "American Idol", per la grande popolarità dello show, ma anche a causa di qualcuno che non lo voleva nel cast. Tuttavia Barry ha detto di considerare favorevolmente la sua esperienza.
Per quel che riguarda il suo futuro immediato, oltre a sottolineare che nessuno lo ha coinvolto nei piani per l'anniversario di "Saturday Night Fever", ha precisato di non potere confermare una data (nemmeno provvisioria) per l'uscita del suo nuovo album country, che a questo punto pare slittare al 2008.

Robin Gibb è stato nominato presidente del CISAC (International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers), importante oganizzazione internazionale fondata nel 1926 , che rappresenta oltre due milioni e mezzo di artisti in tutto il mondo, che operano nei settori della musica, della letteratura e delle arti audiovisive e grafiche.
Il regista Alfonso Cuaron è stato eletto vice-presidente.
Robin è stato eletto nel corso dell'assemblea generale del CISAC, che si è svolta a Bruxelles il 1 giugno, al termine del "Copyright Summit", che si è tenuto nella capitale belga il 30 ed il 31 maggio, giorno nel quale Robin ha tenuto un discorso sulla comparabilità delle creazioni artistiche agli altri prodotti commerciali ("Are Creators' Works like Any Other Goods?" era il titolo dell'intervento). Il suo incarico avrà una durata triennale.

Bee Gee takes on copyright role (BBC NEWS)
Bee Gee Robin Gibb says he plans to campaign for a change to copyright laws on behalf of musicians in the UK.
Currently, performers in the UK receive royalty payments for 50 years, at which point their work goes out of copyright.
"Artists should be getting royalties for the records that they make for life," Gibb told the BBC News website.
The singer has just been made President of CISAC, a body representing creative artists around the world. Film director Alfonso Cuaron became Vice-President.
"I've been a songwriter since I was 8 years old," said Gibb. "I want to champion the rights of all those people who aren't getting a fair share from their creative work."
Record label
The 57-year-old said the Bee Gees had experienced several periods in their career where they did not control their music - including hits like Massachusetts and Jive Talkin'.
The singer said he wanted to make sure other artists did not suffer a similar fate.
"We were lucky because we had some good people working on our behalf, but the reality is that many do not," he said.
"There are still many major writers who still don't own their catalogue.
"It's a moral issue that people should get a bigger piece of the pie."
Gibb said his plans included creating a record label for UK artists, giving them easier access to digital download stores like iTunes.
Copyright recommendation
Earlier this year, the House of Commons culture committee said people had a "moral right" to keep control of their creations while alive.
It recommended extending the copyright term for sound recordings to at least 70 years, allowing performers to benefit from their early works throughout their lifetime.
The International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC) is comprised of 217 organisations which collect royalties and other payments for songwriters, novelists, screenwriters and others in the creative industry.
It indirectly represents 2.5m artists worldwide.

"BMI Honors The Bee Gees as Icons at 55th Annual Pop Awards"
BMI staged its 55th Annual Pop Awards on May 15, honoring the Bee Gees as Pop Icons.
A highlight of the ceremony was the musical tribute to legendary singing trio the Bee Gees.
The brothers Gibb were honored as BMI Icons for their “unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers.” Accepting the awards were Barry and Robin Gibb, and Yvonne Gibb, wife of the late Maurice Gibb.
The tribute saw American Idol finalist Katharine McPhee perform “Immortality,” Bebe Winans singing a medley of “Nights on Broadway” and “How Deep Is Your Love” and Kelly Rowland performing “Emotion.”
The musical partnership of Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb has produced some of the most timeless songs ever written, including “Night Fever,” “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” “Staying Alive,” “I Started a Joke,” “How Deep Is Your Love,” “Jive Talkin,” “You Should Be Dancing” and “Run To Me.”
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees signature three-part harmony has endured for more than four decades, and with this award they join an elite list of previous BMI Icons that includes Crosby, Stills & Nash, Paul Simon, James Brown, Brian Wilson, Isaac Hayes, Dolly Parton and Carlos Santana.

Robin Gibb ha suonato dal vivo alla festa per il ventunesimo compleanno dei Bunbury's, la squadra di cricket formata da stars della musica, dello spettacolo e dello sport britannico che si esibisce per eventi di beneficienza. La festa si è svolta a Londra, al Grosvenor House Hotel.
Della squadra (e della relativa associazione di beneficienza) fanno parte anche i Bee Gees, e dunque, su invito del fondatore (e grande amico dei Gibb) David English, Robin e la sua band hanno intrattenuto una audience entusiasta composta di oltre 1200 ospiti con concerto dal vivo di oltre un'ora.
Robin ha proposto le seguenti canzoni:To Love Somebody, Massachusetts, Words, How Deep Is Your Love, Jive Talkin, More Than A Woman, Night Fever, You Should Be Dancing, You Win Again, Tragedy. Il bis è stato Stayin Alive.
David English ha dichiarato che il concerto di Robin (che ha definito strepitoso) è stato preceduto da un video messaggio di Barry da Miami.
Presenti (ed a detta di English) entusiasti e danzanti, Eric Clapton e Bill Wyman (ex Rolling Stones)
