SECRET LOVE by THE BEE GEES

Second in this series of musical twins are the Bee Gees.

The Bee Gees were a musical group formed in 1958 by brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were especially successful in popular music in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and later as prominent performers in the disco music era in the mid- to late 1970s.

Born in the Isle of Man, then via Manchester and Australia, the group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies: Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the mid to late 1970s and 1980s. 

Sadly twins Maurice (2003) and Robin (2012) have now both passed away leaving older brother Barry as the only surviving member of the group.

“Secret Love '' was a minor hit from 1991 which reached no.5 in the UK, but strangely never found a release in the US. In a similar up-tempo, “Supremes” style to Diana Ross’ “Chain Reaction” (which was also penned by the Bee Gees), it was always one of my favourites from their catalogue.
