Rob Paulsen is one of Hollywood's busiest, most talented, and most passionate performers.

'Saved By The Girl' is a trip back through the 90s, the defining decade when female musicianship took centre-stage, from the guitar infused alt-pop/rock of The Cardigans, Garbage and The Cranberries – to the fiercely independent singer-songwriter style of Sarah McLachlan and Joan Osborne. They sit alongside some the decade's biggest selling artists that paved a way for a strong and enduring female identity for those who grew up in 90s, including Natalie Imbruglia, Tina Arena, TLC, All Saints, Sixpence None The Richer, Moloko, Sinead O'Connor, The Fugees, Everything But The Girl – plus many more. The 37 track album features 21 UK Top 5 hits across 2CDs, including 6 No 1s – all spanning from 1990 to 1999.

A little known phase of the Bee Gees' history is the late '60s, when Robin Gibb left the band in a pique following the decision to banish his song "Lamplight" to the B-side of a single. Gibb pursued a solo career, releasing Robin's Reign in 1970 and coming close to completing a second called Sing Slowly Sisters before he decided to return to the fold in the summer of 1970. Robin was on his own for just over a year, but he recorded plenty of material during that time, all of which is collected on the 2015 triple-disc box Saved by the Bell: The Collected Works of Robin Gibb 1969-1970.
