The Bee Gees show. Angela Bingham and Ken Ray Wilemon visit the studio, pre-'Vid.
Barry Gibb - The Victim (unreleased) (1969)
Jimmy Ruffin & Marcy Levy - Where Do I Go? (1980) His big hit was "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" which was originally intended for The Spinners. He is the older brother of David Ruffin. Marcy Levy was a veteran of the studio by this time. In this show, I talk about her time with Shakespeare's Sister. To little effect.
Marcy Levy & Robin Gibb - Help Me! (1980)
From Wikipedia: After working on Jimmy Ruffin's Sunrise (including the track "Where Do I Go", a duet by Ruffin and Marcy Levy) Robin Gibb and Bee Gees keyboardist Blue Weaver work together again by supplying tracks for the soundtrack of the film Times Square. And the result was the song "Help Me!" sung by Levy and Gibb. The song was heard in the film's closing credits. I like the XTC song "Take This Town". I recommend this movie to both of you.
Lulu - Everybody Clap (1971) Trivia question to stump the room. Name a song that includes members of Led Zeppelin, Cream, The Bee Gees, and Stone The Crows.
It's this one.
- Lulu — lead vocals
- Maurice Gibb — guitar, background vocals
- Leslie Harvey — guitar (Alex Harvey's brother. Look him up for the troubled tale of an ungrounded mic.)
- Jack Bruce — bass
- John Bonham — drums
How about that? Lulu was Maurice Gibbs' wife. She had a pretty good solo career in the '60s. Her biggest hit was "To Sir With Love". Yeah! That was the gal that let Maurice touch her all over.
Angela, Ken, and I - Jive Talkin'
Angela, Ken, and I - Run To Me
Angela's Utah Stories
The Osmonds - I, I, I (1979) Produced by Maurice Gibb.
Maurice Gibb - Modulating Maurice (1969) Gibb was a session musician in Australia for other artists including Bip Addison, Anne Shelton, April Bryon, Barrington Davis, and singer Jon. Around 1969, Gibb worked with his next-door neighbor, Beatle Ringo Starr, and the result was the track "Modulating Maurice" but it was not released. But here it is, for you.
The Bee Gees - Lovers (1976)
Angela, Ken, and I - Stayin' Alive
Angela, Ken, and I - How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
Angela, Ken, and I - Centerpiece
Angela, Ken, and I - How Deep Is Your Love

She probably doesn't recall doing this show, but I FINALLY got around to downloading it. WHAT FUN we had!
Robin Gibb - Trash (1979)
The Bee Gees - Claustrophobia (1965)
The Bee Gees - She Came In Through The Bathroom Window (1976) Listen for the little piccolo phrase after "And so I quit the police department..." If that doesn't make your insides curl up in terror, I don't know what will. This little pop experiment inadvertently gave birth to the "Sgt. Pepper" movie.
The Fut - Have You Heard The Word? (1969) It's pronounced "foot".
"Have You Heard the Word" was recorded on 6 August 1969. That day, Maurice Gibb had broken his arm falling down a flight of stairs. He showed up wearing a cast and shot full of painkillers, and he proceeded to take advantage of the open bar in the studio. Kipner and Groves were not happy with this listless song to begin with, and as the session deteriorated, they left. Maurice put on tape his best John Lennon vocal impression and somehow played bass as well in his distinctive style. Lawrie recalls that he might have been there too, but admits his memory of the late 1960s is none too good.
This song was credited to The Fut. Years later, Gibb said that he had no idea how that happened. The record appeared in early 1970, with rumors that this song was one of The Beatles, perhaps a bootleg recording. The recording was so plausible as a Lennon song that Yoko Ono [Ed: Ever the pragmatist] and Lenono Music, cleaning house in 1985, registered a copyright on it as a song written by John Lennon, even though Lennon had earlier denied participation in this song.
