Yesterday was history.-From the song "Sea of Smiling Faces" (1972), written by Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, and from the Bee Gees album "To Whom It May Concern."
Who knows what there is gonna be when we meet again.
Will you smile and tell the world about me?
Can there be no doubt about me,
I was your friend.
Maurice Gibb, one third of the superb musical act the Bee Gees, passed away four years ago today after suffering a heart attack during surgery to correct a twisted instestine. It has been said that Maurice was the glue that held the act together. He said in an interview that it was his lot in life to act as the intermediary between the always feuding Barry and Robin.
In fact, since his death, Barry and Robin have disbanded the Bee Gees, have been bogged down in various legal battles over their song publishing library, and until recently had stopped talking.
Maurice's favorite sport was paintball. In fact he opened his own paintball supply shop in Florida called "Commander Mo's." It's still in business today.
In honor of the late Commander, here is a video tribute from YouTube.
