Robin Gibb, who handled the high harmony in the Bee Gees trademark sound and co-wrote their biggest hits, died yesterday. Gibb, who had cancer, was 62.

Though the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers are associated most with the disco era, mostly through their soundtrack to “Saturday Night Fever,” their career was far more varied. Here are some of Gibb's greatest hits with the Bee Gees and some songs that he wrote for others. He will be missed.

“How Can You Mend a Broken Heart”

“Nights on Broadway”

“Night Fever”

“How Deep Is Your Love”

“Juliet”

The Soldiers with Robin Gibb, “I've Gotta Get a Message to You”

Destiny's Child, “Emotion”

Andy Gibb, “Shadow Dancing”

Dionne Warwick, “Heartbreaker”

Kim Wilde, “If I Can't Have You”
