AceShowbiz - The Bee Gees were known as The Disco Kings in the 1970s, but long before that they embraced a much different style. The British trio, consisting of brothers Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb and Maurice Gibb, performed as a skiffle/rock-and-roll group called the Rattlesnakes early in their career. After moving to Australia and scoring a recording deal, they began to perform under the moniker the Bee Gees. They rose to fame in the 1960s with their ballad songs, including their first major hit "Spicks and Specks".
It wasn't until in the mid 1970s that they turned to disco following Eric Clapton's suggestion. They recorded more dance-oriented songs, including their No. 1 hit "Jive Talkin' ". Their career continued to rise since then, culminating in their participation in the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack that included three singles by the group, "How Deep Is Your Love", "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever".
