@dionysosramon, I first heard his version around 1967 or 1968 while living in Jamaica, WI.
-
@LastTree - This was a surprise to me so the date is not something I would know and yes the Bee Gee's did write it.
-
@dionysosramon what year is this song? The BeeGees wrote this?
-
I really enjoyed this. Thanks to you and to mission509 who shared.

@MattHatter - they did actually they more than likely met about 64 or 65 when Bryan Epstein became their agent. You never know where the influences come from exactly like there isn't a map and few people know but I am betting that there was some.

@dionysosramon: Oh I've got The Bee Gees' pre-U.S./U.K. stuff. From 1963 to 1966. From "The Battle Of The Blue And Grey" to "Spics And Specks." I know all that stuff! Not sure if the Fabs had heard of the Brothers Gibb back when they started making records. The Bee Gees were just little tykes when they started recording.

@MattHatter you should be sure of what you say the Bee Gees had earlier stuff out than that ..........the sound has pretty much remained similar which is why they have been chart toppers for more than forty years.......I have been a fan of theirs from the begining......
-
@dionysosramon: Well "Sgt. Pepper" was released in June of '67 and "Bee Gees' 1st" was released Aug. of '67. So recording sessions for both albums were probably going at the same time! Ha ha ha.

@MattHatter - I think it is the other way around the beetles were bee gee ing....with the seargent....LMAO...I never made that connection before.....but I think it may be correct....
-
@LastTree - way before the monkeys...
Interesting... but Johnny's "golly gee, aw shucks" delivery robs the song of the quirky surrealism Robin Gibb's voice gives it. Still, nice voice.
