Gibb

Now Voyager is the second solo album to be recorded by Barry Gibb, although it was his first to be released. Gibb had recorded an entire album in 1970 called The Kid's No Good, which never received official release. The album contains his biggest hits "Shine, Shine" and "Fine Line". The album also included the Olivia Newton-John duet "Face to Face", which was released as a promo single. In 1986, Gibb recorded his third solo album Moonlight Madness, which remains unreleased, leaving Now Voyager his only officially released album. Gibb co-produced the album with Karl Richardson, who worked with the Bee Gees from 1976 to 1979. Richardson worked with Barry until 1986, his last project with Barry being Moonlight Madness.

The Bee Gees were a music group formed in 1958, featuring brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were especially successful as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and later as prominent performers of the disco music era in the mid-to-late 1970s. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the mid-to-late 1970s and 1980s. The Bee Gees wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.

Though Andy Gibb's star power would peak with 1978's Shadow Dancing, his Flowing Rivers debut slammed him straight into the limelight and onto the top of the charts – twice – in 1977. A talented musician in his own right, Gibb hit the mainstream under the aegis of producer Robert Stigwood, quite independently of his brothers, $the Bee Gees…

Andy Gibb (Greatest Hits Collection) replaces the 1980 compilation Andy Gibb's Greatest Hits. The disc features all of the previous collection's songs – the hits "After Dark," "Desire," "An Everlasting Love," "I Just Want to Be Your Everything," "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water," "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away" and "Shadow Dancing," plus "Me (Without You)" and "Time Is Time," which were only on Greatest Hits – and it also adds "Man on Fire" and "Flowing Rivers." The result is an excellent summation of Gibb's brief career, and for most fans, it will be the only Gibb album they'll need.
