The Bee Gees were a pop music band formed in 1958. The band's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. They wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England, until the late 1950s, and formed the Rattlesnakes. The family then moved to Redcliffe, in Queensland, Australia, and then to Cribb Island. After achieving their first chart success in Australia as the Bee Gees with "Spicks and Specks" (their 12th single), they returned to the UK in January 1967 where producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience.
"Secret Love" is a song by the Bee Gees. It was the lead single of their album High Civilization, released in March 1991. It is an up-tempo ballad with a clear Supremes style similar to the 1986 Diana Ross hit "Chain Reaction", which was written by the Bee Gees. The single reached the Top 10 in many European countries, but was not released as a single in the US.

"Secret Love" is the first single from Stevie Nicks' seventh studio album In Your Dreams released on May 3, 2011. It is her first original single in ten years. "Secret Love" was released on January 13, 2011 via digital download.
Nicks originally wrote the song in 1976 and recorded a demo for Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album, Rumours, but it did not make the cut for the album.
The music video was directed by David A. Stewart, who produced the In Your Dreams album, and filmed in Nicks' house and backyard. Nicks' goddaughter Kelly appears in the video wearing a vintage dress that Nicks wore on stage in 1976. According to Nicks, Kelly portrays the young Stevie Nicks blending with the soul of Nicks' 62-year-old self.
"Secret Love" is a Pop song composed by Sammy Fain (music) and Paul Francis Webster (lyrics) for Calamity Jane the 1953 movie musical in which it was introduced by Doris Day in the title role. Ranked as a #1 hit for Day on both the Billboard and Cash Box, the song also afforded Day a #1 hit in the UK. "Secret Love" has subsequently been recorded by a wide range of artists, becoming a C&W hit firstly for Slim Whitman and later for Freddy Fender, with the song also becoming an R&B hit for Billy Stewart whose version also reached the Top 40 as did Freddy Fender's. In the UK "Secret Love" would become the career record of Kathy Kirby via her 1963 remake of the song. The melody is based on the opening theme of Schubert's A-major piano sonata D.664.
Doris Day first heard "Secret Love" when its co-writer Sammy Fain visited the singer's home and played it for her, Day being so moved by the song that she'd recall her reaction as being: "I just about fell apart". Day recorded the song 5 August 1953 in a session at the Warner Bros. Recording Studio (Burbank) overseen by Warner Bros. musical director Ray Heindorf. The day of the recording session for "Secret Love" Day had done vocal exercises at her home, then about noon - the session being scheduled for 1 pm - had set out on her bicycle to the studio. Heindorf had rehearsed the studio orchestra prior to Day's reaching the studio: upon her arrival Heindorf suggested Day do a practice run-through with the orchestra prior to recording any takes, but acquiesced to Day's request that her first performance with the orchestra be recorded. Day - "When I got there I sang the song with the orchestra for the first time...That was the first and only take we did" - "When I finished Ray called me into the sound booth grinning from ear to ear and said: 'That's it. You're never going to do it better' "
