Words (Bee Gees)

Words is a song written and sung by the Bee Gees and released in early 1968 . Barry, Robin and Maurice wrote the song for their manager Robert Stigwood . It was originally intended for Cliff Richard, but in those days he spent little off. Instead of wasting the song, the Bee Gees decided to record the song itself.

As stated by the Bee Gees single the song was used in the movie The Mini Mob in 1968, where by Georgie Fame sung in an arrangement by Bill Shepherd . The very limited distribution of the film and the release of the Bee Gees version overshadowed the release of Georgie Fame.

Barry Gibb sings the lead vocal, and possibly all backing vocals. The band consisted of Barry Gibb (guitar), Robin Gibb singing, Maurice Gibb (piano and bass) Colin Petersen (drums) and Vince Melouney (guitar) with orchestral accompaniment of Bill Shepherd .

Words recorded by many other artists. Among them, Rita Coolidge in 1978 and Boyzone in 1996 . This single from Boyzone was their fifth single and their first number 1 hit in Britain . ===[Hitnotering  edit ] === ===Radio 2 Top 2000 [  edit ] ===
