Regarding the Bee Gees, if you go back to the 1960's you will hear less falsetto than you had in the 70's.
I do remember Barry being taller than the brothers.
This is what I remember of the Bee Gees, in the late 60's they had a string of hits. Then in the early 70's you didn't hear anything about them. Then you heard them, the songs were Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin'...the latter 70's became the disco high falsetto. I can't remember if Barry in "Sgt Pepper" film would have been the falsetto dude, I'm thinking it was.
If memory serves me right about the original, he had a long, thin face. The latter day Barry has a round face.
You'd have to do some real digging to find pics.
Also just heard about this, though I didn't know Robin was sick with cancer...the pics showed was horribly thin. Not looking like he'll be around much longer. Didn't his twin brother Maurice die unexpectedly? It's been a while.
And then...the younger brother Andy....and an early death indeed. I have to wonder if he was replaced before the "brand" died. I had suspected Andy looked different from his hey day being a teen heart throb and the time shortly before his passing.
It would do for some more research.

""AP Exclusive: Giffords vows return to Congress
PHOENIX (AP) — Rep. Gabrielle Giffords vows to return to Congress in a new book that describes her months of intense therapy and her emotional struggle to come to terms with being shot in the head at point-blank range.
The memoir, titled "Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope," is the most personal and detailed look yet at Giffords' efforts over the past 10 months to relearn how to walk and talk, and her painful discovery that six people were killed in the Jan. 8 attack outside a Tucson grocery store.
The Associated Press purchased an advance copy of the book. It is set for release Nov. 15.
The book is written by Giffords' husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, but Giffords delivers the last chapter — a single page of short sentences and phrases called "Gabby's Voice" in which she says her goal is to get back to Congress.
"I will get stronger. I will return," she wrote.
Giffords, 40, stunned colleagues by appearing on the House floor Aug. 1 to vote for the debt ceiling deal, but she has largely avoided the public eye, focusing most of her time on her recovery at TIRR Memorial Hermann, a rehabilitation center in Houston.
In the book, Kelly recalls trying to tell his wife several times that she had been shot in the head while meeting constituents. But she didn't fully understand until March 12.
Kelly asked Giffords if she remembered being shot, and she replied that she did. When he asked what she remembered about it, she said three words: "Shot. Shocked. Scary."
Later that day, Kelly was reading to her from a New York Times article about her recovery and skipped over a paragraph that said six others were killed. Giffords had been following along and knew he left something out. She pushed him to tell her what it was.
After she learned of the deaths, Giffords was overcome with emotion and had trouble getting through her therapy. That night as they lay in bed, she told Kelly that she felt awful about the deaths. He held her as she cried.
Six months later, after being released from the Houston hospital to Kelly's home 25 miles away, Giffords wanted to know who had been killed. He warned her that it would be tough on her because she knew two of the victims.
He started by telling her that her staff member Gabe Zimmerman died, which caused her to moan and cry in a wave of emotion. Then he told her about her friend, federal Judge John Roll, and the four other people she didn't know. Finally, he told her that Christina Taylor-Green, a 9-year-old girl born on Sept. 11, 2001, was among the dead.
Kelly recounted the agonizing moments when several media outlets inaccurately reported that Giffords was dead. He grew more hopeful after learning she was alive and being treated at a Tucson hospital.
When Kelly first saw Giffords after the shooting, she was in a coma, with her head partially shaved and bandaged, her face black and blue, and her body connected to tubes. He told her he loved her and that she was going to survive.
He also describes the early days in Giffords' recovery in Texas, saying the darkest moment came when Giffords panicked after realizing she couldn't talk. Her eyes were wide with fear, and she was crying uncontrollably as Kelly tried to comfort her and assure her that she would get better.
The book also offers lighter moments, like when President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, visited Giffords at the Texas hospital. Giffords kept replying to Bush with the only word she was able to say: "chicken."
At another point, a specialist showed her various politicians to see if she recognized faces. When she saw Arnold Schwarzenegger, she said: "Messin' around. Babies," an apparent reference to the former California governor's marital troubles.
As she progressed, Giffords learned to talk again, completing phrases from the Constitution and Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
The book reveals that because of her injuries, Giffords has lost 50 percent of her vision in both eyes.
The book also mentions Sarah Palin, who was criticized after the shootings for a map posted by her political action committee that showed a number of Democratic-held congressional districts marked with crosshairs. Giffords' district was among those covered by the tiny symbols, which were supposed to indicate seats that would be targeted by the GOP.
Giffords found the map disturbing. After the shootings, Kelly vented his feelings about the map to President Barack Obama. He thought Palin might call to offer condolences because of the mounting criticism, but she never did.
Representatives for Palin's political action committee, SarahPAC, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
Palin's attorney, John Tiemessen, said he would relay to the former Alaska governor the AP's request for comment.
The book also reveals that the couple was quietly trying to have a baby. Giffords had undergone several rounds of fertility treatments in the last few years and had hoped to get pregnant early in 2011."

Mia Farrow was imposter- replaCIAed by 1966, just ask her sister, "Dear Prudence." I'm currently mulling when Allen Stewart Konigsberg (Woody Allen) was first replaCIAed. Fia closely resembles Woody's second wife, the actress Louise Lasser (Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman). Their son is said to dislike Woody, side with Fia Fauxrrow on everything, and to have been a child prodigy who attended Columbia University classes at age 11. Rhodes Scholar= recruiting field for das CIA and MI6. Fia Fauxrrow was a media PR shill to promote the mandatory mass corporate-state polio virus vaccination of people in Africa and Asia after the vaccine injections scandalously begin creating horrific new polio disease outbreaks in African and Southeast Asian nation; this occurred about five years ago, if I recall correctly. That's my contribution on this, for now....

FIA treated her kids like crap, at least those adopted ones and those of other races. It was all about her image and publicity, the reality was gloomy. Allen molested and abused all his kids, regardless if they were biologically his or not, the scum didnt "discriminate" anyone. And I bet she knew what her husband was doing. In an interview she said she forgives him. What sane woman could forgive a monster who did what he did to his children? I dont dare to think what Allen and his Soon Yi slave do to their adopted kids... Ronan definitely has been used and abused by top people, theres no other way... And ALLEN looks replaced, maybe Ill post about it, maybe smb else will. So the infamous one is FALLEN or one of them...

Poor Woody having been imposter-replaced from an early date would also explain some biographical oddities and contradictions I've noticed.... like what happened to his pre-fame, first wife ( a schoolteacher?) Why does/did Wood-Yi have ZERO contact or association with the Your Show of Shows stars like Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Mel Brooks, Howard Morris etc. despite the fact that he was the typist from them in the legendary shows' writing sessions? Why no comments or interviews with people with whom he went to high school or knew him from his one year at NYU?

Is this mousey guy the real Woody? From 1962, the Jack Parr Show: he would have been about 27 years old here. Note the higher, thinner voice than the Wood-Yi we're used to; slightly more of a Brooklyn-Jewish accent too (notice how he sounds like an in-routine Jerry Lewis in places), and body seems shorter and thinner. They were probably thinking of him at the time as an ethnic Wally Cox-type figure. Skull shape is narrower and smaller---the same guy as in that b and w high school/college photo that I posted? www.youtube.com/watch?v=in0X7vOYVjUThis is Woody in 1965 on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Hmmm.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wVsJR5Fu7I&feature=related1977, scene from "Annie Hall" (Hall is Diane Keaton's real last name, by the way; the original title of the film was "Anhedonia"). It was co-written with Marshall Brickman, who has a "The Mamas and the Papas" strong connection. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0v2MpBbQPM&feature=related[youtube] www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0v2MpBbQPM&feature=related[/youtube]I'll say this---if it is an imposter, different from the 1962 Woody, it's a very good imposter.... I'd be most interested in seeing 1950s footage and photos of Woody.

Photo of Marshall Brickman. undated, in this "Muppets wiki" biography: muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Marshall_BrickmanI'd like to know more about the mysterious Brickman-Konigsberg relationship. Here are photos of Marshall Brickman with CIA/Pentagon agents John Phillips and Michelle Phillips when he was performing with them as a member of their group "The New Journeymen"--- www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-slxmxeKt8

Unfortunately its the only childhood pic of him I could find Pre-fame/late teenage/early 20's Around 1960 and the appearance of the first FALLEN Which of the 1st two is the real WOODY? The child or the young man? Hmmm, STEVEN SPIELBERG's case is similar to this one. I incline to think the real WOODY ALLEN is the little boy. Correct me if Im wrong.

I think the childhood pic is the real Woody, the teenager has a long thin face like the one with the glasses.
I'm thinking he was replaced before fame. Had they tried to replace him after finding fame, it would have been more difficult to find a replacement.

I agree with lucy. The first pic is the real Woody. The second pic on are clones imo. There is soul in the eyes of the first person, which is what I look for in determining humans created naturally and those created through cloning.

So far I've observed:
ZERO pictures of Woody Allen before 1960, apart from that one undated very early-childhood picture and one undated, un-captioned b&w yearbook-looking picture already posted. How can this be?
ZERO pictures of his first wife, Harlene Rosen, married to Allen Konisgsberg from 1956 until their divorce in 1962 (interestingly the exact first year in which Woody received his first national media exposure.) Not one single picture or interview anywhere. How is this possible?
Woody apparently served as a typist on the famous "Your Show of Shows," on the air from 1950-54. In an interview, Mel Brooks said he was a typist from the comedy writers on YSOS. But other accounts say no, he was not there at all.... see here, from wikipedia on YSOS, and as a writer on the successor Sid Caesar program....why no elaboration by Brooks or the other writers and performers, no reminiscing, no memories or pictures?
"Production notes
The show was created by Sylvester "Pat" Weaver and directed by Max Liebman. Caesar, Coca, and Liebman had worked on The Admiral Broadway Revue from January to June 1949. Writers for the show included Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Danny Simon, Mel Tolkin, and Carl Reiner who, though a cast member, always sat in with the writers. A common misconception is that Larry Gelbart wrote for Your Show of Shows; he in fact wrote for its successor program, Caesar's Hour, which ran from 1954 to 1957.[3] Likewise, Woody Allen did not write for Your Show of Shows, as he only worked on several Sid Caesar TV specials that debuted after it.[4]
"Carl Reiner has stated that the time he spent on Your Show of Shows was the inspiration for The Dick Van d*ke Show. Your Show of Shows also inspired the 1982 film My Favorite Year, produced by Mel Brooks, and the play Laughter on the 23rd Floor written by Neil Simon."
