The lineup on the album is thought to have included members of renowned Sydney jazz-rock band Crossfire (Mick Kenny, Jim Kelly, Tony Buchanan, Phil Scorgie, Ian Bloxom, and Steve Hopes) and certainly Kelly and Buchanan were among the busiest session players in Sydney at that time.
Andy’s backing band by this stage was Zenta (Rick Alford, guitar; Paddy Lelliot, bass; Trevor Norton, drums; Glen Greenhalgh, vocals). However, the musicians on Andy's 1975 recordings were all seasoned Aussie session players.
Another recording from these sessions ("Turn Me On") was played once during a radio interview with Andy, but the album (which would have appeared early in 1976) was never released.
At some stage during mid-1975 Andy recorded thirteen songs -- enough for an LP -- produced by Col Joye at ATA Studios; all were originals by Andy, except a cover of Don McLean's "Winter Has Me In Its Grip". His debut single "Words and Music" / "Westfield Mansions" was issued in Australia on ATA in August 1975, and a planned second single "To a Girl" / "Walking Along" was assigned a catalogue number, but was never released.
Andy Gibb first recording, "To A Girl" was taped at ATA studios probably in September 1974, apparently while the Bee Gees were touring Australia, since it featured Andy's brother Maurice on organ, and Maurice and John Alderson contributed to the song.
Gibb family went back many years, and Col and Phil had played a significant role in helping the young Bee Gees establish their career in Australia in the early 1960s. Andy, the youngest Gibb brother, had spent most of his youth in the UK, but on the advice of oldest brother Barry, he returned to Australia in 1974 to launch his own music career. He began writing his own songs, put together a backing band (Melody Fayre), began performing, and signed with the Joye Music publishing company.
Andy Gibb family moved to Australia in 1967. He formed Zenta in Australia and tour with Bay City Rollers in 1975. In 1976 he got got married to Australian.
The Gibb family moved to Australia when Andy Gibb was just 6 years old. ARIA (Australia Record Industry Association) Awards 2011 paid tribute to Andy Gibb and Maurice Gibb on 26 November.
Andy Gibb return to Australia and record Words & Music and released on Col Joye label ATA was founded in 1965, which his close friend of Gibbs family. Also Flowing Rivers was recorded in Australia. He formed Zenta in Australia and tour with Bay City Rollers tour. In 1976 he got married and one child that lives in Australia.
@MrCheekytony I didn't know he toured with Bay City Rollers. He must have been only 17 or 18 then. He is so cute here. I wish I had it on DVD. Did anyone notice his crooked tooth? Small imperfection, must have got fixed later. Those Gibbs always seem to have perfect smiles:) I sure miss Andy, I have loved him since I was a kid.
@Insaneindumembrain I get what you're saying, and I'm a female. However not all the women Andy was associated with were as you out it ''whores''. His first wife Kim seemed to be a lovely, grounded girl.
This is a beautiful song... it's almost a throwback to all the Bill Shepherd Bee Gees hits... it's a sound that I would liked the Bee Gees to stay with, as opposed to the disco route they went on.
I love this!!! Wish I had it on dvd. It's so rare to see something of him live and he was so young there only 17. Still very very handsome and that voice is so dreamy!! We lost a great talent, I will miss him till I die! I agree with the other people here, I don't care if people laugh at my musical taste. I like as sorts of music. Why can't we like OZZY , and The BEE GEES!
Thank you for posting this...I'd never seen it, despite being a fan since this time period...Hard to believe it'll be 23 years since we lost him on 3-10...will love him & his brothers always!
My goodness! The child had such depth in his words and voice at age 17. Definitely a Gibb, with 23 chromosones from his mother and 23 chromosones from his father in every cell. I think that's the only recipe that could produce such musically talented Brothers Gibb.

@amr7037 That is the truth indeed. Ain't it sad that music has become more and more depraved and all the good singers are slowly dying off. Thank God for youtube, so we can remember those simple times and pretty melodies.
@amr7037 I wish those days were back, too. My friends think I'm crazy when I tell them that I listen to this music, but I literally sometimes wish my family and everyone I know lived in the 70's/80's. To put it short and sweet, those days rocked!!

LOVE the 70s clothes too! I wish fashions were still that way!- Andy, he was gorgeous! Wish men looked like him these days instead of hard-knock morons!
I was one of the few fans who got too meet him... was like an accidental encounter, but well worth it, I was only 19 then... but he let me hang out with him for about 8 hours... then he had to go do some publicity activity. He is one in a million.. so sweet, such a good person, his heart was a rare treasure.... not too mention how gorgeous he was, but all Andy fans know that:) He didnt even complain when I kept "needing " hugs;) and when I touched his hair. A Platinum Memory forever in my heart
His songs are ok at best, I think he should made more dramatic music. Seems all his songs are to lovey dovey. Made this was the down fall to his successs, that he so desired.....
@MrMaxwell2010 I think the song, "Flowing Rivers" from Andy's first album is one example that is different from his other songs. It's not lovey dovey and Andy wrote it himself. There's a really good live version on YT, where he is wearning a black and white striped vest. Anyway, just in case you're interested....
I think he looked really sad, even though he was 17, fresh and cute and with a thousand girls and the world at his feet he still looked unhappy....I can tell by his eyes he wasn't happy here.
EVERYONE is comparing that brat Justin Bieber to this guy. I mean Bieber is said to be haunted by Andy's ghost! what rubbish! Bieber could never express emotion in the way Andy did and as for his voice...it is weak compared to Andy's!!!! Andy was gorgeous as well he had the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen on a man.
@SweetSesatia If Andy's ghost is around, I doubt that he would waste time on Bieber. Apparently Justin's response to this was "Who?" I reckon that Andy's ghost would be saying "Justin Who?"
@Aspie08 LOL! I agree with that! And i can quite see Bieber saying 'Who'! Justin Bieber seems rather vacuous to be honest although the hating on him is a little harsh. I think if Andy's ghost is around he would be near to his dear brothers- and mom.
Andy dowsn't seem like the type to become a hardcore alcoholic, and his bro's were pretty tame, (party wise), esp having that kind of fame in the booze/cocain time of the century. Was it the pressure of being the lil bro of that famous group?
Andy was way ahead of his time - so talented and such a polished performer at just 17 years! He doesn't even flinch when they throw that confetti in his face. His voice is so dreamy....Amazing Andy.
An old episode of Countdown, which was a pioneering pop show in Australia. The show has become something of a legend in Oz. The show gave Blondie, Motels, Billy Idol, John Cougar Mellancamp and a few others their initial successes, prior to the world hearing about 'em. Andy Gibb could pretty much walk onto the set and be shot, seeing as The Bee Gees have strong connections in Australia...
I can't help but watch Andy over & over again. Now I came to realize Andy had been at the onset of his career a very sweet, gentle & versatile performer. His pieces mostly expressed his thoughts or feelings of a romantic love affair. Very, very sad & with all regrets that he did not live long to experience the real meaning of true love, of being loved by a genuine sweetheart. He was such a great loss! RIP Andy. We love you more than you can imagine.
Oh, this is something worth watching. Thanks for someone who was kind enough to share. I didn't get to know & see Andy when he was alive but it doesn't make any difference now because I can feel his spirit & his music everywhere. Him & his older bro Maurice are few of the gems in the music industry. Their music & legacy will live on forever. Love the Brothers Gibb.
Thank you for posting this. Wow, even at 17 he had IT. He could melt the North Pole. What a super talent guy with great looks . Andy , you are loved and missed every day. RIP sweet Andy. Forever Love, MS ROBIN
I LOVE this clip, Andy is so cute and sweet here and amazing how young he was! I grew up with Andy and miss him everyday. Hope the new Bee Gees dvd collection will include alot of Andy as well. Thanks for posting!
I didn't realize it hit the top 5 in Aus. It only made the B side of the 45 in the 70s here in the US. I loved it from the first listen. And he was so young when he wrote and recorded it. Too young to have experienced the feelings he wrote about.
Andy was so innocent looking here, I just love his performance. think i've seen this video before but watching it again is truly a treat this morning. thank you!
one if the best songs ever xxxandy was a genius and a wonderful performer wish he belived in himself,,,,i miss him love this i keep watching lolxxxim babsxxxx
you can tell just how great his voice is here, sounds wonderful.
this video is sad though, he was untouched at this time by los angeles and the cocaine. if he could of saw what the drugs would do to his life, he never would of touched them..
The audience at Countdown always threw petals and wedding rice at the performers. I know one singer (not Andy) who used to frequently do appear on this show and he told the story of how he got a petal stuck in his throat and began chocking in mid-performance.
Countdown could be a cruel show for performers. The girls in the studio also had adventurous hands.
He was only five years older than me - he was born in 1958 and died in 1988. I'm glad I grew up knowing him. I love you, Andy. RIP. I miss him hence is why I am looking him up on youtube today. I hope I will meet him some day in heaven. I didn't know this song was sung live. I have it on one of my cd's. I still have his albums and some of his sheet music that I won on eBay a long time ago.
This has been my fav song since I was about 12! Andy was already about 19, but was younger here. A beautiul song by a beautiful man. He reminds me so much of his older brother Barry. Love all the Gibbs the best talent in the business!
Andy is one of my favorites, he was a great artist but got hooked on illegal substance, another wasted talent. I read he died penniless. However like his brothers, he gave the world wth good music. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is so sweet, I have never seen this clip before, its awesome! Andy was so young here. He was angelic but at the same time a bit devilish. I wish I had this on dvd. I don't think there will ever be another like him.. Miss and love Andy..
Great performance! It kinda makes me sad to watch it though, knowing how his life turned out. Look at the so-called talent we've got to contend with nowadays. They all sound the same and mimic one another. Singers back then like Andy, Karen Carpenter, Glen Campbell, David Cassidy, Olivia etc all had unique voices that you could recognise in an instant.
It makes me sad to watch this. He was young (looks like he had his teeth fixed before he hit the USA). 17! My kid is older than that now and I'm still obsessed.
There is so much growing up that I can relate to my growing up with the Bee Gees, and this really hit home. I remember sitting in my room imagining Andy singing this to me. Thanks for bringing that feeling back to me again
love this song...the more i hear it the more i love its lyrics,,,andy was such a fantastic songwriter ...and such a beautiful guy x barbi hi all xxxx
Depends on if this show was before or after 3/5/75...Andy's b-day. The show is Count Down Australia I think, but I don't know when he performed on it. Odds are in your favor though since more months after March and also, I think Andy was not on stage yet at 16 ;)
Absolutely BRILLIANT. Sung so BEAUTIFULLY by the gorgeous Andy. What a beautiful, talented person. Your voice and music never stopped when you left our world. The Angels are watching over you and we know you are watching over your fans, from far above. God Bless. Rest in Peace.
Look from the time 2.00 to 2.54, at Andy's gorgeous face. What a dreamworld look. So stunningly beautiful and sung with so much emotion. What a tragic, tragic loss to our world. so young, so multi talented. What a fantastic guy.
Andy's singing this song with so much emotion in his voice and his face. But is it just me or can anybody else see that there is so much sadness behind this song. It makes me wonder, Andy was 17 years old here, but mybe i'm looking too deep, but to me Andy's beautiful eyes are filled with sadness. It just goes to show THAT money can buy you everything but , not happiness love and LIFE!
This is one of my favorite performances by Andy. Beautiful song, handsome young face, that hair and those teeth. So innocent looking. I love that kid. Hugs, Andy.
i still love andy gibb, no matter what! too bad he died young.. thank you to youtube and thank you, nzoz1975, for posting this video and bringing back my memories of my biggest crush when i was in high school.
Andy was seventeen when he sang this song that he so beautifully wrote. What a beautiful melancholy voice for a 17 year old. So grown up. How man 17 year old can write and sing like Andy??? A very few, like Michael Jackson, David Cassidy and Donny Osmond. The best teenage singers around in Andy's time.
i always love the gibbs brother they are legend of history in music millions fans where never forget,we miss you guys.andy,barry.please come back! show us to broadway once again.

you can tell just how great his voice is here, sounds wonderful.
this video is sad though, he was untouched at this time by los angeles and the cocaine. if he could of saw what the drugs would do to his life, he never would of touched them..
he had it all, and the drugs destroyed it.
i pray he rests with our Lord Jesus

who throws the petals on andy's face?

The audience at Countdown always threw petals and wedding rice at the performers. I know one singer (not Andy) who used to frequently do appear on this show and he told the story of how he got a petal stuck in his throat and began chocking in mid-performance.
Countdown could be a cruel show for performers. The girls in the studio also had adventurous hands.

He was only five years older than me - he was born in 1958 and died in 1988. I'm glad I grew up knowing him. I love you, Andy. RIP. I miss him hence is why I am looking him up on youtube today. I hope I will meet him some day in heaven. I didn't know this song was sung live. I have it on one of my cd's. I still have his albums and some of his sheet music that I won on eBay a long time ago.

This has been my fav song since I was about 12! Andy was already about 19, but was younger here. A beautiul song by a beautiful man. He reminds me so much of his older brother Barry. Love all the Gibbs the best talent in the business!

Andy is one of my favorites, he was a great artist but got hooked on illegal substance, another wasted talent. I read he died penniless. However like his brothers, he gave the world wth good music. Thanks so much for sharing.

This is so sweet, I have never seen this clip before, its awesome! Andy was so young here. He was angelic but at the same time a bit devilish. I wish I had this on dvd. I don't think there will ever be another like him.. Miss and love Andy..

Great performance! It kinda makes me sad to watch it though, knowing how his life turned out. Look at the so-called talent we've got to contend with nowadays. They all sound the same and mimic one another. Singers back then like Andy, Karen Carpenter, Glen Campbell, David Cassidy, Olivia etc all had unique voices that you could recognise in an instant.

It makes me sad to watch this. He was young (looks like he had his teeth fixed before he hit the USA). 17! My kid is older than that now and I'm still obsessed.

There is so much growing up that I can relate to my growing up with the Bee Gees, and this really hit home. I remember sitting in my room imagining Andy singing this to me. Thanks for bringing that feeling back to me again

K Sar I might be an Idiot here but how old was Andy here was he 16 or 17 my Bro says he is 16 and I say he is 17 who's right
reilley785 3 years ago
Depends on if this show was before or after 3/5/75...Andy's b-day. The show is Count Down Australia I think, but I don't know when he performed on it. Odds are in your favor though since more months after March and also, I think Andy was not on stage yet at 16 ;)

Andy's singing this song with so much emotion in his voice and his face. But is it just me or can anybody else see that there is so much sadness behind this song. It makes me wonder, Andy was 17 years old here, but mybe i'm looking too deep, but to me Andy's beautiful eyes are filled with sadness. It just goes to show THAT money can buy you everything but , not happiness love and LIFE!

Andy was seventeen when he sang this song that he so beautifully wrote. What a beautiful melancholy voice for a 17 year old. So grown up. How man 17 year old can write and sing like Andy??? A very few, like Michael Jackson, David Cassidy and Donny Osmond. The best teenage singers around in Andy's time.
