from "The Bee Gees Brothers with Others" with image of Kristen Stewart.
Written and background vocals by Barry & Maurice Gibb, Stephen Gibb(Barry's son) guitar, George Perry bass, Lester Mendez keyboards, programming.
Producer Barry Gibb & Scott Glasel. Recorded September 1990, Middle Ear, Miami Beach.
Kelli Hartman, performing as Kelli Wolfe, was age 19 when Barry first heard her perform in Miami.
He offered to sign her to Polydor. As she recalled in 1998, Barry first offered her "The Only Love", but he then replaced it with a song he wrote specifically for her, "Born to Be Loved by You".
Kelli has a demo of it with just Barry on voice and guitar. The recording they made together features Barry's son Steve, age 17, playing guitar, and backing vocals by Barry. Kelli dated it as September.
After recording this one track, Barry lost interest in recording Kelli, but characteristically he would not say so, and let her continue to visit Middle Ear over the next couple of years.
Ultimately "Born to Be Loved by You" was put on the B side of a Kelli Wolfe single in 1993, but it was withheld at the last minute after CD singles had been manufactured, and some copies of it were sent to radio stations and even accidentally sold.
Kelli Wolfe(Eyes) also participated in the album "The Bunbury Tails 1992" with Bee Gees(We're the Bunburys), Eric Clapton(Fight the good fight), Elton John(Up the revolution) George Harrison, etc.

  • If someone has the liryc, send me it, please :) : jogamefe@yahoo.es

  • However, the songs written for her were fine as ever.

  • If you read the statement, Barry let Kelli come to his studio even after he lost interest. And he didn't say the words 'I lost interest', it's merely an assumption, and probably a correct one!

    As you can see, Scott Glasel, the engineer at Middle Ear, said that she was an awful vocalist. And he'd know, considering he engineered the sessions, so it's not much of a surprise that Barry didn't continue on with her.
