I remember first hearing the Bee Gees for the first time in 1978, 8 years old and couldn't speak a lick of English, had just arrived to the United States from Switzerland and this song came on the radio in my fathers car. The rhythm of this song just blew my mind and found myself humming to the song with visions exploding in my mind. The song was Night fever and I was hooked. Only 10 months later I figured out that the Band was called "The Bee Gees" and by then I understood English very well and was in love with music. Growing up my first eight years in Switzerland I only heard Classical which was my mother's forte, and Jazz which my Dad absolutely loved. I found the same melody's and Rhythm that my parents listened to in the Bee Gees and many other Artists on my little white Radio (with a single earpiece) and I was in love. Music was to me a necessary part of my soul and the cup was never full. The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart Documentary was like going back in time and reliving a piece of my live over again, and oh' they joy and tears it brought was absolutely sublime. The Bee gees have been in "My Life's Playlist" since I was that young child in my daddy's car. Of course I couldn't always say "I liked the Bee gee's", the 80's were tough on the Bee Gees and just like "Judas" I even found myself saying to my Hair Metal friends that the "Bee Gee's suck" in order to avoid ridicule I know I surely would have received. This documentary was portrayed in chronological order from when the Bee Gees first started as Children in 1958 to the passing Of Andy, Maurice, and Robin and everything in between, all the dirty laundry, hope, dreams and inspirations that led this band for the last 50 years. A true joy to watch even if your not a fan, by the end it will touch everyone who watched it. God bless!
