Robin Gibb was a musician who did much to define the pop music of
the 70s and 80s.

With his brothers Maurice and Barry he formed the Bee Gees.

They wrote the soundtrack for the disco era, perhaps captured
best in their music for the movie Saturday Night Fever.

In December 2010, Robin Gibb joined Stephen Sackur in the
Hardtalk studio to talk about his music, his family and the
pressures of a pop business which drove him into a private hell
of drink, drugs and depression.

In more recent years, Robin Gibb found a new sense of purpose,
both in his music and in his work for a host of charities.

To the end he remained committed to song-writing and was an
advocate for talent in an industry increasingly dominated by
marketing rather than the music itself.

So today, a look back at Hardtalk with the late Robin Gibb.
