The popularity of the Gibb brothers: Billboard's top selling recordings of 1978...

And if I may drop a few names... I did get to meet his brother Andy Gibb once and that was nice (in his dressing room backstage at the Merv Griffin show...long story) but I remember almost nothing about him.

He was totally upstaged by the fact that he was with the super-fabulous (well, for me anyway) JoAnne Worley from Laugh-In fame... a campy childhood fave of mine.

(To be fair to Gibb: as far as I was concerned... even the Queen of England and the Pope would have faded into the background with her there.)

They were promoting their production of Pirates of Penzance. They did a few numbers on the show... I do remember Gibb was not quite B'way material. And he seemed rather frail. A few years later he was gone.
