Maurice Gibb has died

[Bob Nelson <raccoonradio@yahoo.com>]

The Baby Boomer generation has lost the likes of
George Harrison, John Phillips, and John Entwhistle.
Now, Bee Gees singer Maurice Gibb has passed away
at 53 (of a heart attack while waiting for intestinal
blockage surgery).

Expect oldies and AC stations to play a lot of Bee
Gees tunes in remembrance. (And Howie and VB will
probably have a field day with it...)The band had many
hits in the late 60s/early 70s ("Massachusetts", "I
Started a Joke", "Lonely Days", "Run to Me", "Nights
on Broadway") and had a massive comeback with the
Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. The Brothers Gibb
also wrote and produced songs for the likes of
Olivia Newton John, Yvonne Elliman, Samantha Sang,
and Kenny Rogers.
