I don't think so -- it's him singing the "Well, I have to fahhhh-low you!!" part. Boy, I love that song, tho...
This is one of my faves of his solo stuff:

Jamming this song dailyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3k3y7dykx0I found Secret Agent at the station, too, and I think it sounds great. Haven't heard How Old Are You? but it's incredibly crepey title makes me want to.

is the maurice gibb solo record ever going to be released?
― buzza, Saturday, 19 March 2011 02:17 (thirteen years ago) link
Maurice has his own disc in the Mythology box. I checked the Robin disc out from my library, that's where I found Juliet.I made a mental note to check out Maurice's disc next.

From the Brothers official website "MYTHOLOGY also features the debut of a pair of previously unreleased Maurice Gibb tracks - "Angel Of Mercy" and "The Bridge." http://www.beegees.com/store/music/beegees-mythology/#more

I really dig that demo of "Islands" -- the chorus has a perfect Bee Gees feel to it. Would love to hear it in better sound.

robin's reign has been killing me recently. ridiculously deep music
guess i need to hunt down his synth pop stuff
is there a reasonable copy of sing slowly sisters floating around? the one i've been listening to sounds like a cassette dub. the wow and flutter kinda compliments the weirdness of the songs in a way tho

This is on the Bee Gees thread, too, but with all these half-assed Bee-Gees-obits-with-a-Few-Lines-About-Robin I've been seeing, I figured some solo Robin was appropriate here. If there's a more beautiful song than this, I haven't heard it:

Maybe I'm engaging in connecting-the-dots-around-the-recently-departed but he had a melancholy in his voice like few others, Richard Manuel being one of the few.

The "How Old Are You" album is a bit underrated, actually.
RIP Robin, a unique talent. I hope his solo work from the '69-'70 gets properly reissued but I fear a lot of it's probably gone or else only exists on scratchy acetates. Feel for poor old Barry, the oldest and the last.

Wow, I had been scarcely aware of Robin's solo work until now! I should know. I'll have to put it on my list!

He sounds like a folk singer to me! I mean, as in Mike Waterson not Bob Dylan or whatever.

robin gibb sounds like about nobody else IMO.

Awesome! A few years ago, the bio on his official site had links throughout to ~30 second audio clips of various tracks, and at one point it casually mentioned the Sing Slowly Sisters album with no indication that it was never released, and there was a clip of the title track that was obviously of much better quality than the bootleg versions, so I had a feeling this was in the works, but yeah, super stoked that it's really happening!
Anyone hear 50 St. Catherine's Drive? Worth checking out imo.

All but the BBC sessions are on Spotify in the US. This lives up to the hope thus far. Sound is amazing -- you'd never know this was pulled together from old acetates.

OTM, Andrew Sandoval deserves some sort of award or medal or sumthin' for this.

Revive! As winter approaches, this music always sounds so appropriate – like the soundtrack to Ethan Frome or something. Somehow, despite being ILM’s craziest Robin fan, I never bought the Saved By the Bell box and have only listened to it on Spotify.It’s worth noting that “Hudson’s Fallen Wind”—the 12-minute epic suite from which Robin’s Reign’s “Farmer Ferdinand Hudson” is excerpted—is amazing. The sound throughout is incredible.

heard robin's reign (and early bee gees for that matter) for the first time this week and i love it! i think robin's reign is the earliest example of drum machine on record that i can think of. very avant-garde!
