My Take

Maurice Gibb is my favorite kind of musician: the indispensable one nobody points at. In the Bee Gees, Barry and Robin owned the spotlight, but Maurice was the multi-instrumentalist glue, handling bass, keyboards, guitar, and the harmony architecture that made those records feel inevitable. I have a soft spot for the middle children of great bands, the ones who measure success by how good they make everyone else sound. His death at fifty-three in 2003 robbed pop music of its quietest craftsman. When I replay the Bee Gees now, I listen past the falsetto, hunting for Maurice's fingerprints. They are everywhere.

Overview
