They Started a Joke

I've decided that this month I'm going to share Guilty Pleasures

Those are groups or artists that I never shared before & actualy never admit to anyone that I even listen to, let alone hold in highest esteem. These are like The Osmonds or Jimmy Buffett or The Carpenters or Wayne Newton or Randy Newman or Kansas...you get the drift.

Not CBGBs but CDBGs...AF 

 



Here's one I've been wanting to share for a long time but never really got around to it. One of the formative bandss of my youthful musical mind. The Bee Gees: Robin; Maurice; & Barry combined the sublime vocal harmonies, perfect lyrical content, & unequalled pop sensibilities. This is their third full-lenght release, called creatively 1st. 

 

The Bee Gees - Bee Gees 1st, Polydor 184089, 1967.
