Singer Ronan Keating says getting to spend a week writing songs with Bee Gees legend Barry Gibb was an amazing experience.

The former Boyzone singer recorded for the disco legends' compilation LP 'Love Songs' and co-wrote and produced the song "Lovers and Friends" in 1999 with Barry, reported Femalefirst.

"We spent five days away together writing and recording. It goes without saying how special The Bee Gees are and for me to work and spend time with Barry who's such a legendary writer is always such an amazing experience," Keating says.

The Bee Gees, which also included late Robin Gibb, who died of cancer in Mary 2012, released the album consisting of all of their ballads in 2005 and it features some lesser known hits including "Secret Love" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls".
 

Boyzone famously covered Bee Gees' hit 1977 single "Words" and the two groups even performed the song live together in the 90s.
