Comedy act The Three Stooges were one of America’s most recognized trios. The original lineup comprised of Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Shemp Howard, otherwise known as Curly. Starring in some 190 short films over a near 50-year career, The Three Stooges relied heavily on physical comedy. They embraced the slapstick nature of the genre to get their laughs. Nearly all of their movies and TV shows featured the guys getting harmed in inventive and hilarious ways. While all three passed on many years ago, they left a long-lasting legacy in the comedy world still felt today.

Forming in 1958, brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb were known for their incredible falsetto harmonies and influence on the disco era. Although born in the UK on the Isle of Mann, the trio grew up in Australia. This was where they had their first chart hit with the single Spicks and Specks.
Moving back to the UK to further their career, they soon found success with an array of pop ballads before suddenly breaking up in 1969. This didn’t last long, with the trio reuniting a year later. It wasn’t until the late 70s that The Bee Gees became a global phenomenon when they embraced the disco era. Songs like Stayin’ Alive and How Deep Is Your Love? catapulted them to international stardom and made them one of the hottest acts on the globe. They continued to record and tour until the unexpected death of Maurice in 2003.
