"I was always the one left behind. Out in the streets, when they saw me they'd say, That's just one of the Bee Gees"
- Maurice Gibb
About this Quote
In this quote, Maurice Gibb reflects on his experience of always being the one left behind. He describes how when he was out in the streets, individuals would see him and instantly identify him as "simply among the Bee Gees." This suggests that he was often eclipsed by his more popular bros, Barry and Robin, who were likewise members of the popular music group, the Bee Gees. In spite of his own talents and contributions, Maurice was typically ignored and minimized to being seen as simply a member of the group. This quote highlights the struggle of being in the shadow of others and not being acknowledged for one's individual identity.
