Here is a timeline and collection of "facts" from a Japanese site: February 20th 2003: The anti war song for charity Michael and Barry are working on isn't finished yet. At the moment Michael Jackson isn't even in Miami Beach. Management doesn't even think the song will be released soon, however Michael did take a copy of the tape back to his home. Cliff Richard has requested a hold on a couple of Gibb songs that Barry submitted to him some time ago. But the Gibb management doesn't think Cliff has made a final decision or recorded anything yet, nor is it definite yet if this Gibb material will be on the new album of Cliff. June 16th 2003: There were again rumours concerning a cooperation of Cliff Richard and Barry. Management this week informed us the following: Although Cliff at the moment has several Gibb songs to use it's not sure yet if Barry will produce him. At the moment they're not working together in the studio. November 13th 2003: So many of you have asked us lately how Barry is doing! Terri of BGFC has met him today and she told me: 'he's just looking FANTASTIC and is doingreal fine!! He is lean, good skin color, his hair is long, and he was bubbling like a little kid about working with Sir Cliff Richard. It was so good to see Barry like that!' That's just great news. Barry is currently working at Middle Ear with Sir Cliff Richard on a couple of songs that Barry sent to him previously, which are "How Many Sleeps", written by Barry and David English, and "I Cannot Give You My Love", written by Barry and Ashley a couple of years ago. Barry is really enjoying working with Sir Cliff, and is having fun. It's not certain when or which project of Sir Cliff's these songs may end up on, so we'll have to keep our eyes open for them. December 15th 2003: We've already reported about their project before. Cliff is going to record an album in Nashville in January. He's planning to record 3 numbers with Michael Omartian, Steve Mandile and Tommy Sims, Later on we'll hear if the songs by Sir Cliff and Barry, recorded in Miami Beach, in November and December will be on this coming Cliff album too. December 30th: Barry is still busy mixing the two Cliff Richard tracks -- Juan ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2004 19:01:21 -0600 From: "Vivian Morrison" Subject: RE: Digest (01/18/2004 18:01) (#2004-4989) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2004 22:49:21 EST From: PROPASSMAX@cs.com Subject: Re: Digest (01/18/2004 18:01) (#2004-4989) does anyone know if there an official Bee Gees fan club anymore?
