The group has sung 3 part tight harmonies which can be recognized instantly. Robin’s clear lead in vibrato was their hallmark in earlier hits, but during the disco years, Barry’s R&B falsetto was more popular. The 3 brothers wrote together most of their hits as well as producing and writing few major hits along with other artists.
The three brothers were born to English parents in Isle of Man and they lived in Manchester, UK during their initial years and shifted to Brisbane in Australia where they started their music career.
