Just a couple of highlights from this week in music history!

SEPT 1: Happy birthday to Barry Gibb! Born September 1, 1946, in Douglas, Isle of Man, the legendary singer, songwriter, and producer is best known as the eldest member of the Bee Gees. Alongside his younger twin brothers, Robin and Maurice, he helped form one of the most successful groups in pop history, with a career spanning more than five decades. After moving to Australia in the late 1950s, the Gibb brothers began performing together, achieving early chart success before relocating to England, where they became international stars.

SEPT 11: Happy birthday to Tommy Shaw! Born September 11, 1953, in Montgomery, Alabama, the guitarist, singer, and songwriter best known as a longtime member of the rock band Styx. Shaw joined Styx in late 1975, just before the band recorded Crystal Ball. His arrival brought a new dimension to the group, blending melodic guitar work with a soaring vocal style that became central to Styx’s sound. He quickly proved his songwriting ability with tracks like “Crystal Ball” and later co-wrote some of the band’s biggest hits, including “Renegade,” “Blue Collar Man (Long Nights),” and “Too Much Time on My Hands.”
