“My Thing” is a lesser-known yet charming track by the Bee Gees, featured on their 1972 album To Whom It May Concern. Unlike their big disco anthems from the late ’70s, this song carries a smooth, mellow groove with a soulful vibe, showcasing the group’s versatility in blending pop, soft rock, and R&B influences.
Robin Gibb takes the lead on this track, delivering a relaxed vocal style that fits perfectly with the laid-back instrumentation. The song reflects the Bee Gees’ ability to step outside their usual ballads and harmonies, instead exploring a more personal, introspective mood.
Though not a major hit single, “My Thing” is a hidden gem that fans appreciate for its unique sound and the glimpse it offers into the Bee Gees’ experimental phase in the early 1970s. It’s an example of how the brothers were never afraid to try new directions before their disco-era superstardom.
Bee Gees – My Thing
“My Thing” is one of the tracks where Robin Gibb shines as the sole lead vocalist, giving the song a distinctive flavor compared to Barry’s and Maurice’s leads.
The song’s smooth, jazzy style foreshadows some of the soulful elements the Bee Gees would later incorporate into their more famous works.
The album To Whom It May Concern marked the end of an era before the group shifted gears and eventually reinvented themselves for the disco boom.
