"First of May" is a song recorded by the Bee Gees with lead vocals by Barry Gibb, released as a single from their 1969 double album Odessa. The flip side of a single was "Lamplight" on which Robin Gibb sang the lead. Robert Stigwood, the Bee Gees manager chose "First of May" for the A-side. No other singles were released from the Odessa album, as Robin Gibb already had left the group. This song was initially taped in demo form in New York City on August 16, 1968. Later that year in London, "First of May" (a titular reference to the birthday of Barry's dog, Barnaby) was remade at IBC Studios with a majestic orchestral arrangement from maestro Bill Shepherd. Barry Gibb says in Tales From The Brothers Gibb that the title of the song was inspired by the fact that his dog's birthday was on the 1st of May. [1] |
