The Fut were a short-lived rock group formed in London in 1969, consisting of Maurice Gibb, Steve Groves, Steve Kipner and Billy Lawrie (the brother of singer Lulu and Gibb's brother-in-law and sometime songwriting partner).[1] Their only single was "Have You Heard the Word", released in the UK on Beacon Records.[2] This was the first time since the formation of the Bee Gees that Gibb, who was still in the group, had performed with another group.[3] Groves and Kipner were members of the group Tin Tin.
"Have You Heard the Word" was written by Groves and Kipner, and recorded on 6 August 1969.
