Bee Gees Disco-Era Drummer Dennis Bryon Dies at 76
Dennis Bryon, the drummer for the Bee Gees during their best-selling disco era, has died in Nashville of undisclosed causes at age 76.
Their winning streak continued on 1976’s Children of the World, on which their full pivot to dancefloor dons produced the Billboard Hot 100 smash “You Should Be Dancing,” a prelude to the album that would make them the undisputed kings of the disco era: their Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. According to a bio, Dennis Ronald Bryon was born in Cardiff on April 14, 1949 and began playing the drums at 14 before forming Amen corner with beloved British guitarist Andy Fairweather Low (Roger Waters, Eric Clapton). After Amen Corner broke up, Bryon auditioned for the Bee Gees in 1973 and later became the only drummer in pop history — besides the Beatles’ Ringo Starr — to having five songs in the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart simultaneously.
