"Where Are You" is a song written by Maurice Gibb. It marked his debut as a lead vocalist and solo composer. It was included on the Bee Gees' 1966 album Spicks and Specks. This track was finally released in the US in 1968.
It was written by Maurice Gibb in 1966 and was his first to appear on any Bee Gees albums. It was recorded around April and May 1966.
Another Maurice composition from that year, "All by Myself" was released in 1970 on Inception/Nostalgia.
The song had drawn Kipner's attention to Maurice's potential as a more than competent songwriter, Maurice generally felt more comfortable writing the music than the words.
Maurice Gibb probably play bass on this track, with John Robinson.
The Mike Furber version of "Where Are You" credits Barry Gibb as the songwriter (instead of the original songwriter Maurice Gibb). Furber's version was released in December 1966 in Kommotion Records only in Australia and was released on the EP of the same name. The backing band was Max Merritt and the Meteors, with the Gibb brothers singing backup vocals. Furber's version reached #93 in the Australia Kent Music Report charts.
