Andy Gibb was an English singer, songwriter, performer, and former teen idol who was born on March 5, 1958, in Manchester, United Kingdom. Gibb grew up in Chorlton with his English parents Barbara and Hugh Gibb and four siblings, Lesley, Barry, Robin, and Maurice. Three of his brothers went on to form the pop group The Bee Gees. When Gibb was six months old he emigrated to Queensland, Australia with his family. They moved again several times to various places around Brisbane and Sydney. When his three older brothers began to see success with their pop group The Bee Gees, Gibb quit school and moved back to the United Kingdom in January of 1967. He began playing an acoustic guitar from his older brother Barry at various tourist clubs in Ibiza, Spain and the Isle of Man. Gibb formed his own group in 1974 called Melody Fayre with John Alderson and John Stringer. Gibb's own mother acted as the group's manager and they were regularly booked in the hotel scene.
In August of 1973, Gibbs would record his first song "My Father Was a Rebel" which also featured his brother Maurice. Gibb returned to Australia in 1974 with the hopes of growing their success. The trio recorded several of Gibb's own compositions which were produced by Col Joye. Their first demo was a song called "To a Girl" which he went on to perform on "The Ernie Sigley Show". In the late 1970s, Gibb rose to international success with six singles that reached Top 10 in the United States but his life was suddenly cut short when he died just five days after his 30th birthday.
