An unusual but really fascinating story about former Bee Gee Barry Gibb and his contributions to contemporary music. I never realized how many hits he penned. Which is why the Washington Post suggests he may be one of the most prolific tunesmiths of the modern era. 

"It’s estimated that Gibb wrote or co-wrote more than 1,000 songs, though he’s never kept count. Why bother when you’ve delivered dozens of golden eggs?

“Grease?” Gibb. “To Love Somebody?” Check. “Guilty?” Guilty. “Islands in the Stream,” “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” “Nights on Broadway,” “I Just Want to Be Your Everything,” the last for younger brother and teen heartthrob Andy who died in 1988 at age 30. Yes, yes, yes, yes."

Bee Gees’ Barry Gibb has written more hit songs than almost anyone
