The Gibb Brothers were formidable musicians and lyricists. Their downfall was embracing a musical genre that turned out to be a fad -- and, when the bubble burst, a despised one. It was not a fate they deserved. Their involvement in the catastrophic Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie musical didn't help -- several sequences in the movie are evidence that shooting a motion picture while coked out of your mind is not a good idea. They were not entirely blameless for that disaster -- they were, after all, responsible for the utterly soulless rendition of "Oh Darling!" that was released as one of the album's singles. But they did see the writing on the wall early on and try valiantly to get themselves out of the movie, to no avail as producer Robert Stigwood was also their manager and label representative.

 

If anything, what happened to Peter Frampton in the aftermath of the movie was even worse. Before, he was one of rock-and-roll's most promising young guitarists. After, he was a global punchline.
