Maurice Gibb
Maurice Ernest Gibb, CBE (22 December 1949 – 12 January 2003) was a British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer who achieved fame as a member of the group Bee Gees. Although his brothers Barry and Robin Gibb were the group's main lead singers, most of their albums included at least one or two Maurice Gibb compositions, including "Lay It on Me", "Country Woman" and "On Time". The Bee Gees were one of the most successful rock-pop groups ever. Gibb's role in the group focused on melody and arrangements, providing backing vocal harmony and playing a variety of instruments.
Born on the Isle of Man, Gibb started his music career in 1955 in Manchester, England, joining the skiffle-rock and roll group the Rattlesnakes which later evolved into the Bee Gees in 1958 when they moved to Australia. They returned to England, where they achieved worldwide fame. In 2002, the Bee Gees were appointed as CBEs for their "contribution to music". Following his death in 2003, Gibb's son collected his award at Buckingham Palace in 2004.

Mrs. B
by: BambixI’ve been slaving all day long
Making mock of me as if nothing’s wrong
It’s a curse, I’m a castaway
I’ve given all, nothing more to say
So tired, still no end
She placed her hand on her forehead
Wondered why, what’s it for
It’s a dead end
Mrs. B walks towards the door
You haven’t eaten anything, don’t you want some more?
Does she talk to herself or me
Contemporary slavery
She seems shrunken
And her face showed signs of her old age
Breakable bones
All alone without her family
They are waiting for the death of Mrs. B
Mrs. B keeps her son to herself
At least she tries to
When he married, it cause quite a stir
She hit him and her too
She wonders why no one calls
Since they got her number and all
It’ll be a relief to slowly drift away
No more waiting for the lonely days
Mrs. B says she’s all alone
Wondering if she’s safe in her home
Doesn’t care to come out because the kids
