Gibb-Galuten-Richardson

They produced albums and singles for Andy Gibb, Samantha Sang, Frankie Valli, Teri DeSario, Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton and Diana Ross.

Because Bee Gees' manager and RSO Records head Robert Stigwood had ended his US distribution arrangement with Atlantic Records, Atlantic producer Arif Mardin, who had produced the Bee Gees' previous two albums (including their "comeback" album Main Course), was no longer permitted to work with the group.

At this point the Bee Gees decided to produce the album themselves, with Barry Gibb taking the lead role, along with engineer Richardson.

[1] A few months after Children of the World, the trio worked together again on Andy Gibb's Flowing Rivers album, recorded in October 1976.

The trio also produced singles by Frankie Valli ("Grease") and Teri DeSario ("Ain't Nothing Gonna Keep Me From You").

[2] In 1979, the Bee Gees (including Barry), Galuten and Richardson won the Grammys for Best Producer of the Year, Non-Classical.

[6][7] The lead single on Rogers' album was a duet between himself and fellow country singer Dolly Parton entitled "Islands in the Stream" that became US No.

[9] In 1985, Barry had teamed again with Galuten and Richardson to produce an album for another American recording artist Diana Ross entitled Eaten Alive.
