Sad part is, although Disco put money into The Brothers Gibb's pocket, the stereotype of being one of the groups that started disco, has hurt their reputation (my opinion) The BeeGees early stuff is great and Barry and Robin have written some beautiful songs and could harmonize as well as The Beatles, Everly Brothers and Beachboys. They deserve more credit than many give them.
I agree. I really like their early stuff. When I first heard them on the radio, I thought it was the Beatles. The disc jockey said the Bee Gees, but I thought he was just messing around with their names.

It was really too bad that they, and several others of that era felt the need to jump on the disco bandwagon.
