GIBB TEAMS UP WITH RUSSIAN UNKNOWN

The BEE GEES star ROBIN GIBB has teamed up with a little known Russian pop star to re-record disco classic STAYIN' ALIVE.

Robin Gibb at London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2008 - Julien Macdonald. London, England - 15.02.08

Russian Valerieya wrote to the singer last year (07), enclosing a copy of her cover of the 1978 classic - and Gibb was so impressed with her talents, he vowed to work with the star and raise her profile in western Europe.

Valerieya has sold more than 100 million albums in eastern Europe - but she is still yet to succeed in the rest of the world.

She says, "I sent Robin a letter explaining how hard it was for us to get Western music growing up behind the iron curtain (Communist states in Eastern Europe). But I loved the Bee Gees."

Gibb says, "She's Russia's top artist and really good."
