Default I Just Want To Be Your Everything

I first remember hearing this song in the fall of 1977, and I've loved it ever since. Andy Gibb back then is definitely one of the hottest men I've ever seen. Anyone else a fan of his? Oh Everlasting Love is another fave.

Oh yes, he was a beautiful man and I love his songs. It is such a shame his happy image was nothing like the way he was in his personal life.

David. Andy Gibb was my first concert, ever. I was maybe, 10 years old, and I went with my best friend and her parents. We had front row seats(!) and we handed him a bouquet of roses. He thanked us, and I touched his foot. Oh and also, we stuffed our training bras that night in hopes of Andy noticing us.

I loved his music first on the radio, then when I saw what he looked like-WOW Such a beautiful man. I really loved "Love is Thicker Than Water"-even bought the sheet music. I also have an Andy Gibb beach towel in excellent condition that I got around 1977 or '78 . Broke my heart when he died so young. Broke my heart even more to hear of his sad life. Unlike most other teen idols of that era, he had actual talent and wrote his own songs. Still miss him-he was one of my very first "music-related obsessions".

I'll bet that towel is worth something now.

Nice to see another Andy Gibb fan A few years ago I went to put some flowers at his gravesite while visiting Los Angeles. He was very talented and never realized it

Really? where was he laid to rest? The next time I'm out there, I might make a stop.

He is laid to rest at Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills and he has a wall vault with a single plaque

I had lost my mom a few months prior to visiting LA and for some reason just spending time and leaving flowers at Andy's gravesite made me realize that grieving wasted alot of my time and energy and it made me see life in a very different way

Many famous people are buried there. Lucille Ball, The Nelson family, Liberace, Bette Davis and the cemetary is a beautiful one and you will want to just walk around for awhile.
