Biography

Sir Barry Alan Crompton Gibb (born 1 September 1946) is a British musician. Along with his younger fraternal twin brothers, Robin and Maurice, he rose to global fame as a founder of the Bee Gees, one of the most commercially successful groups in the history of popular music, currently being the only surviving member of the trio. Gibb is well known for his wide vocal range, including a far-reaching high-pitched falsetto. Gibb's career has spanned over 70 years. As a songwriter, Gibb shares the record for most consecutive Billboard Hot 100 number ones, at six, with John Lennon and Paul McCartney. In total, he has written or co-written sixteen Billboard Hot 100 number ones. In 1994, Gibb was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame with his brothers. In 1997, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of the Bee Gees. In 2007, Q magazine ranked him number 38 on its list of the "100 Greatest Singers". Guinness World Records lists him as the second most successful songwriter in history, behind Paul McCartney. Gibb was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2002 New Year Honours for services to music and entertainment, and a Knight Bachelor in the 2018 New Year Honours for services to music and charity. He was also made an Honorary Companion of the Order of Australia on 27 January 2022.
