Harold Cowart and The Gibbs
Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana Howart (61) worked with many artists and for instance was part of the Bee Gees Band during their Spirits Tour in 1976.
Lately he has thought a lot about Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb.
Cowart met Andy Gibb during a session at Atlantic Records, and later worked with his brothers: Barry, Robin and Maurice, the Bee Gees on a lot of projects.
"When Barry Gibb asked me to work with them, his brother Andy told him, 'You bloody stole my man,'" Cowart said.
His experiences with Gibb and Streisand marked a high point in Cowart's music career, which began when he took an interest in music legend Ray Charles.

The album's title track, "Guilty", took home the coveted Grammy Award for "Best Pop Vocal Performance, Duo or Group".

Robin is lending his support to the Make Poverty History campaign in Britain. Make Poverty History brings together a wide cross section of 50 aid organisations; campaigns; trade unions, faith groups and celebrities who are united by a common belief that 2005 offers an unprecedented opportunity for global change.
Robin assisted at the Media Launch of the organisation's new promotional video which he will be screening at his live concerts (it premiered at his Kremlin concert).
The aim is that as many people as possible get involved to make the campaign as effective as possible.
You can sign up at the organisation's website: www.makepovertyhistory.org and purchase the symbol of the campaign which is a simple White Band worn around the wrist. By wearing one you are part of a unique worldwide effort in 2005 to end extreme poverty. Or visit the international website for outside the U.K. at:

Barry Gibb honored
Posted on Saturday April 2nd. In the Miami Herald ( Christina Hoag).
Nothing like a few old Bee Gees tunes to get a bunch of lawyers singing along.
Toes were tapping and mouths were humming at the Florida Bar's Entertainment and Sports Law symposium Friday as former Bee Gee Barry Gibb received the division's Tom Dowd Excellence in the Arts Award.
Gibb's face flushed a deep red when the Bee Gees' first No. 1 hit, Spicks and Specks, dating back to 1966 in Australia, played at the luncheon held at the Eden Roc in Miami Beach. Gibb, 58, was honored for his 40-year career as a Bee Gee and his later work as a composer and producer of numerous hits for other stars.
The brothers Gibb -- Barry, Robin and Maurice, who died in 2003 of a heart attack -- rank among the world's most successful recording artists. A Miami Beach resident since 1977, Gibb was accompanied at the event by his wife Linda, songwriter/musician son Ashley, one of his five children, and Ashley's wife Therese.
Barry Gibb is currently producing Barbra Streisand's new album.
Also in the audience: rocker Rick Derringer and wife Jenda, who were honored for their fundraising efforts to aid Florida hurricane victims last fall.
Stayin Alive
The Bee Gees cover band won't be able to perform in Rotterdam after all as they at that time are touring in the U.S. and then it's of course impossible to fly over for a short performance during the Rotterdam Tribute Band Night.
Former Smashing Pumpkins/Zwan leader Billy Corgan has completed the work on his solo debut album: "The Future Embrace," to be released June 21 via Warner Bros
The 11-track set includes a cover of the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody" that features the Cure's Robert Smith on backing vocals.

Grief Never Grows Old
Robin Gibb has accepted the invitation to take part in the "One World" project in support of Asian Disaster Relief.
Several musical stars this way will raise money for the disasters in the Indian ocean with the release of the song "Grief Never Grows Old" which was penned by the project's initiator, British broadcaster Mike Reid.
The single is produced by Steve Levine and will be issued by Universal Records later this month. Robin will record his contribution later this week.
All funds raised will go to The Disasters Emergency Committee. It is hoped the single will raise over £2 million for the relief effort.
Barry and Robin were both approached to join however Robin will be doing this project now by himself as he's at the moment in the U.K. where the single is going to be produced.
There's no way because of prior commitments and schedules of the brothers that they will be able to come together one of these days to be in the same place at the same time to sing together for the song recording.
So they've decided that Robin will represent The Bee Gees on this record.

Robin and mother Barbara tell their story in Hello Magazine (U.K. December 21st).
Almost 2 years after the unexpected death of Maurice Gibb at the age of 53, his family are still reeling from the shock. "For me, everthing dates from when Maurice died" declares his twin brother and fellow Bee Gee, Robin."It's my personal 9/11".
His mother Barbara is also struggling with the loss of her son. "I do my crying at night" she admits. "During the day you have to carry on. You have to be strong for your family."
As much as the Gibb family has enjoyed musical success, wealth and fame in the past four decades, it has also endured its share of sadness and loss.

Robins tour plans for 2006
Again new messages have reached us about new booked performances for Robin in Asia and the U.K.. This seems to have been published on several websites already as well.
Unfortunately after having asked, it seems nothing is confirmed yet and Robin doesn't know about these concerts yet either.!!
We however can tell you that one is preparing for a European Tour for Robin in 2006 and of course when all is definite and arranged the promotor will give out an official press release next year.
We hope there will be again a possibility for fans during these coming European concerts to pre order tickets and maybe even to get a chance to attend a meet and greet with Robin somewhere. If so,
we will inform you in time.
Keep an eye on Robin's website and of course: GSI.
