LOL, you're right. I fixed it.
An interesting tid bit their manager Robert Stigwood arranged a meeting with Otis Redding early on in their career. Stigwood challenged Barry to write a song for Otis Redding. Barry wrote "To love somebody" Barry sang the body of the song when Stigwood returned from dinner. Otis Redding died before he could record the song. So the Bee Gees recorded it themselves.
What blew my mind was Stigwood produced Saturday Night Fever. The songs "Night Fever", "Stayin Alive", "If I can't have you" "More than a woman" were all written before they were asked to compose the music for the movie. They pulled the music off the shelf of music they had already written. The Album sold tthirty million copies and remained the best selling sound track for twenty years.
In 1978 five of the top ten spots of the Billboard top 100 were written and produced by the brothers.
