An album featuring Robin Gibb’s final recordings and unreleased songs is to be released in September.
The album, 50 St. Catherine's Drive, includes a new version of the Bee Gees song ‘I AM The World’, which was originally a B-side for the trio’s ‘Spicks and Specks’.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Gibb’s wife Dwina said; "He was always fond of this song and decided to record a new version for this album,"
"In the studio, Robin and [producer] Peter-John Vettese wrote new middle-eight sections, so it is now an extended version of the original. Robin loved playing with words, as in this song and also in 'Holiday' from the same era, where he sang, 'You Are a Holiday.'"
