Wine and Women

About Wine and Women

"Wine and Women" is a song written by Barry Gibb, and released by the Bee Gees in September 1965 on Leedon Records in Australia. The song's B-side was Follow the Wind. The single reached #19 in Australia, marking the Bee Gees' international chart debut. They achieved this by getting as many of their fans as possible to buy enough copies to get the song into the charts at #35 and, thus, to the attention of disc-jockeys. Both songs were later included on the group's debut album The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs, as well as the 1998 anthology of the group's Australian recordings Brilliant from Birth. Wine and Women marked the first time Barry and Robin had traded lead vocals. Maurice plays the brief, lead guitar break, Barry's guitar strumming is mixed forward and he sings most of the lead vocals on this song. "Follow the Wind", despite being written by Barry, was sung by Robin. Another important debut was that of Bill Shepherd in the producer's chair. Shepherd would travel with the group to England when they launched their international career and for many years arranged and conducted their orchestral backing on record and in concert. more »

Wine and women and song will only make me sad
Love and kisses and hugs, the things I never had
If this should end, I don't mind
If this should end, I will find
What shall I do (what shall I do )
What shall I do (what shall I do )

Cars and buses and trams make a lot of noise
All my women have gone out with other boys
If this should end, I don't mind
If this should end, I will find
I won't complain (I won't complain)
I feel no pain (I feel no pain )

Ooh..
If this should end, I don't mind
If this should end, I will find
I won't complain (I won't complain)
I feel no pain (I feel no pain )

Wine and women and song will only make me sad
Love and kisses and hugs the thing I never had
If this should end, I don't mind
If this should end, I will find
I won't complain (I won't complain)
I feel no pain ( I feel no pain)
I won't complain...cry
Ooh...

Bee Gees

The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group'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 pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. more »
