That bass line is wicked. Jordan, the Bee Gees learned how to play instruments as kids, and wrote their own songs and performed as teens. Very gifted and naturally talented.
The vocal range of these guys ! Have y'all heard " Nights on Broadway", yet ??
Drfinitely!! The nights on Broadway should be next.
One of my favorite Bee Gee songs, love their harmony especially on this one & the different turns the melody takes.
Yes! My favorite!
Love this song!!💖
This song is where Barry hit his first falsetto.
The Bee Gees were not just a vocal group, they were musicians as well!
Another #1 hit for The Bee Gees, the Fabulous Funky Dudes of Disco! 😊👏🏾🎤🎶🎸🎹🥁🛼🪩💯
Disco is freaking awesome, don't ever let someone tell you otherwise.. These guys, KC and the Sunshine Band and Donna Summer are some of the best acts of all time.. and they are all disco performers..
Disco lives in my heart, forever,,disco is still alive in alot of us from that era..love from Virginia
Me too. Absolutly...
Always loves it, and always will… lol
Nope. I still subscribe to the "Disco Sucks" crowd. I may even still have the t-shirt...not that it fits. Ha!
Sylvester forevah!
Oh young Grasshopper, you have so much to learn, especially about The Bee Gees. This song was a hit for them around 1975. By this time they had already been performing together for nearly 20 years. What do you think they were doing before and after their Saturday Night Fever days (the only period you have even touched on so far)? Perhaps you will truly understand the magic that is The Bee Gees after you hear another 100 songs or so. Even then there will still be much to learn!
Nice!
My nickname was th the be gee
Brother Mo tickling that bass on this track is legendary...
All three brothers were self-taught, and played several instruments.
The more you guys react to these Musical Geniuses, you'll discover that you can't put Bee Gees in one particular genre - and, as far as their music, expect the unexpected!
Definitely check out their baby brother Andy - he had an extremely successful solo career in his own right.
“More than a women”, “Tragedy” and of course “staying alive” all show off Barry’s falsetto. All classics
Yes I agree
Tragedy is awesome!
@@summersands8105 yes love that song classic
Tragedy is my favorite of their songs
Oh yes....."Tragedy" forgot about that one......❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You two DEFINITELY need to check out You Should Be Dancing. And after you hear it, you're gonna be so mad you waited so long to hear it! :D
Facts

Facts
Yes please, YOU SHOULD BE DANCING❤️❤️❤️
@@vegasbaby3669 wwe aeee3eérrrrs a43 we
Definitely!
I totally agree! LOVE that song. It's one of those songs that you just can't be still and not move to...
BeeGees Were before Disco and lasted after Disco.... But they were able to structure their songs to be trendy and popular no matter what was popping at the time... But their Ballets were just overwhelmingly GREAT...
Disco was definitely what they were most famous for, at least in the US. For me, the Disco was an entry point to discover all the other styles they played.
I really want them to react to “I Started A Joke” so they can also appreciate Robins beautiful voice.
The Bee Gees performed ballet?!?
@@LiberalsArePoop lol i just saw that.
Ballads...precisely!
Mo killed that Rickenbarker bass. Just love his vibe and temperament. He contributed so much….keyboard, strings, back up falsetto, and damn good harmonies. Just an overall talented musician👊🏾
Luv how the younger generation can appreciate the Beegees !. Great music is timeless !!!
Bee Gees
You really need to watch their documentary on HBO Max “How Do You Mend A Broken Heart” to understand why being categorized as Disco was their downfall. There is nothing wrong with disco, it’s just dance music that made people feel good...But The Bee Gees were so much more, you really need to listen to the earlier stuff (showcases Robins beautiful voice) “I Started A Joke” “Massachusetts” The Bee Gees were music chameleons but they loved R&B which you can hear a lot in their music. Maurice played the bass, guitar, and keyboards, and Barry played the guitar.
Yes, the documentary is excellent. I was huge Bee Gees fan before the disco era (I loved their disco stuff too). When I met my current wife, she only knew of their disco songs and love them. I introduced her to the older stuff and she now is a bigger fan of the older songs.
Seconded on the HBO documentary. It's phenomenal.
Third on the documentary!
4th on the documentary !!!
5th on the documentary!! Just watched it again the other night!! 😍😍😍
You should check out their early hits from the 60s too. "I Started a Joke", "Massachusetts" , "Gotta Get a Message to You", "Lonely Days", "Words", "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart" ... There are even videos of them as KIDS on Australian TV. "Blowing in the Wind" is my favorite of those. Their harmony was perfect even then.
^^ THIS RIGHT HERE ^^ (Original post)
Agree 1000%. I can't really stand anything after the disco transition because I was such a fan of their early 60's songs. There's a really great documentary on the band on Netflix (I think) that covers their whole history.
Yep, their 60’s stuff was by far their best material in my opinion. I started a joke, gotta get a message to you, first of may and countless others just awesome
@@jksgameshelf3378 the documentary is on HBO
I would also add Lonely Days to that list.
The inspiration for this song came to Barry from the sound the tires on their car made crossing the Florida bridges while they were recording there. Incredible how creative and inspired they were.
That is a classic story. When I saw him tell it, he replicated the bridge. Their first disco cut.
I LOVE that story !! I knew something was beautifully weird about this song. Thanks.
I'm watching all of your reactions to the Bee Gees. I wish you would even more react to them. I thought I had listened to all of them but I found a couple that I hadn't so far. I always give you guys a thumbs up because I like your channel. You're Good People!!!
Saturday Night Fever was the height of Disco. BeeGees put out some iconic disco. BTW, disco was nothing more than the dance club music of the day.
Well said!!! I love Me some disco!
Thank you for letting them know that they were a big part of the movie Saturday night fever. It's when I hear them say stuff like that I realize just how freaking old I am 😂
Saturday night live came out when I was in Boot Camp.
I don’t consider myself old, I just been around a while👍🏻
Excuse me… Saturday night fever… Maybe I am old and confused😀
But it was terribly formulaic and basically crap.
The Bee Gees were around way before Disco. They did a few songs that worked for the Disco genre and suddenly, they became the face of Disco. So when the Disco craze ended, their careers took a deep nosedive. Their catalog is amazing and covers many genres. And you might be surprised to find out that Robin sings lead, also. So glad you're discovering them. And BTW, I love Disco, so no disparagement from me :)
I loved the ballads in the sixties - well written and oh such romantic lovely love songs… then came disco and afterwards again different genres! Beyond talented.
Yep. Odessa is a great album they did in the late 60's I think it was. Maybe 1970. It had some ballads, some sort of country-ish sound and even a little prog type rock.
FANY BE TENDER WITH MY LOV E By The Bee Gees IS A a huge must
@@melprophet1936 Yes Odessa was great. I used to be a super fan so had all the albums, even the ones from Australia.
The Brothers Gibb could do no wrong in my eyes. Writing, producing, killer musicians, vocals beyond belief....You have come across the best that ever lived as far as all around talent...
Disco would have never catapulted to the the heights it did without the Bee Gees. I love Disco and always will. You'll find that so many of their songs can fit in so many categories. They reinvented themselves all the time but once they discovered Barry's falsetto it became a signature sound for them because it was different than anyone else's. Andy was 12 years younger than Barry but they were so much alike they were like twins. You'll understand completely when you hear Andy. He had three number one hits in a row. At one time Andy started growing a beard and he looked just like Barry.
You guys have got to listen to the BeeGees little brother, Andy Gibb. Especially Shadow Dancing. I know you’d love it.
I was 9 when Shadow Dancing was released. I threw a fit in the record department at the BX on Lackland A.F.B. because my Momma wouldn't buy me that album...she bought it. I loved Andy Gibbs!
The story of Andy will break your heart--did mine a long time ago and I think it affected the older brothers' career as much as the disco backlash
Almost everything they recorded they wrote. Prolific songwriters, musicians and performers.
Disco was fantastic! And I was born as it was coming to an end. I love disco and i love the Bee Gees.
We used to wear the jukebox out playing this song at the pool in the 70's.....such a great song!!
You MUST do "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" I predict both of you will melt into a puddle of Barry-infused goo.
So right. Both of you will literally melt! 😆🤣😂
Robin's voice will make you melt like butter on a stack of hot flapjacks, and the harmonies are like pure maple syrup poured over it all. Now that should make you ravenous for some of those delicious early Bee Gees. Calories be damned. Jordan and Amber need to get their plates ready for some of the most emotional and lovely songs of the early Bee Gees. There's so much more available from them than the "fast food" snacks of their disco period. A breakfast spread like you've never seen, that moves right into an incredible luncheon, and a dinner repast that goes on and on. Their music rates a chef's kiss for sure.
Especially the version from '71
Andy Gibb is not one of the three. They are Barry, Maurice and Robin. Andy was there a younger brother and his music is awesome
He was always considered the 4th bee gee
@@andreadeamon6419 As a Geezer who was around "back then", I don't know a soul who thought of Andy as a Bee Gee. His very famous, much older brothers already had a decade of international success before we even heard of Andy. We thought of him as their baby brother, a "mini Barry" &/or a solo artist, but not as part of the group. Now, after his drug use so tragically destroyed his health & career, in early 1988, his brothers announced he would become a Bee Gee, beginning with their next tour (which I believe was to be 1989), but sadly he died before that happened.
@@wnsafford1854 - True. Been a fan since the 70's and same age as the twins.
@@susieq9801 Yup. I "fanned" as soon as I heard them (1967). 67 & 68, they released a string of great songs. Still have my 45s (of Words & I Started A Joke). Good stuff.
@@wnsafford1854 I'm old also. Heard it all the time
Every time I here Robin's "I started a joke", it brings a tear! You should definitely react to it.
Maurice was musical director and bass player of their live act. Barry played guitar and Robin sang. Robin has some lead vocals himself.
Look at their earlier stuff. "Nights on Broadway" "To love somebody" they are definitely rock based. They just ventured into a different sound as the time required for them.
My favorite Bee Gees is their older stuff! Words, I Started a Joke, To Love Somebody, Massachusetts!
Oh they are definitely disco and soft rock with a little soul. 😍
Never feel bad for saying they are disco! This was awesome. Brings back so many great memories.
That Barry Gibb was a heart stealer, for sure.
You guys need to give their brother, Andy Gibb a listen. He sounds a lot like Barry and looks like him too. You should listen to "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" and Shadow Dancing.
“I Just Want To Be Your Everything”! Yes! A must.👍
Great song for dancing 💃
Andy was my first concert.😄
OMG I had the biggest crush on Andy Gibb - circa the same time my life goal was to be a Solid Gold dancer LOL
@@angelawynne5233 I remember that show, if you wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer, I bet you were one hot mama! lol 😉
I would say that Bee Gees and Disco belongs together like peanutbutter and jelly. But you can't reduce them to just that genre. They're real musicians and they wrote so many songs for different artists.
I'm from Chicago, and I remember the day local shock jock declared disco was dead & blew up records, and all I could think was NOT THE BEEGEES, NOOOO!🤣
Bit of history - the Bee Gees wrote and recorded about 5 songs in a few days in the middle of doing an album (separate from the album) after their manager requested it for this movie (Saturday Night Fever) he was associated with. That's where the disco vibe comes from - but they're always borderline disco anyway.
The funk and Mo’s bass are 🔥
The BeeGees were the heartbeat of the popular disco scene. Saturday Night Fever's soundtrack was almost entirely disco and written by the BeeGees.
I WONDER WHY THEY REFUSE TO WATCH SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER ? t was a super huge movie in 1978 ... O well there loss
Andy had his own solo career. He was going to become a member of the bee gees before he died in 1988 at the age of 30. He had amazing talent also.
Too bad he also had an amazing appetite for cocaine
I absolutely love that this song came from a bridge in Miami and Barry was driving over it when it was creating a beat with the seams of the asphalt. He came up with this song from it. I love that man and I love this song. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Nights on Broadway," "Massachusetts," and "To Love Somebody" are three of my favs from the BeeGees.
My mother is a huge Bee Gees fan, "The First of May" "Massachusetts" and "You Win Again" are fantastic
This was a hit in 1975
“Alone” is one of their most recent hit before Maurice and Robin passed away. Great tune you’ll love it. It showcases Robins lead vocal on it
Yes, sadly, there was an anti-disco movement during its height. Personally, and especially as time goes by, I find that disco was an awesome genre that should be celebrated. I had to laugh when Amber said they had slight disco flavor to them. I mean Saturday Night Fever and Stayin' Alive where disco ANTHEMS!! So yeah, just a LITTLE disco flavor. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not in Britain
The disco era was the first time I saw a split in what was viewed as 'in'. People in my high school either loved it or hated it; there was no 'middle ground'.
Some of the best times of my youth were set to disco music.
This track was their big breakthrough into their second phase of their career. They were Beatlesque top 40 band in the 60s, but as the sixties became the 70s, nothing they were putting out was resonating with anyone or selling. They moved to Florida and this was a new sound and they fully embraced a new sound and it opened a whole new audience for them. This is pre-disco era by a few years.
Andy was their younger brother. He looked like Barry and so Barry treated him sort of like his twin coz Robin and Maurice were actual twins. Barry wrote and recorded for Andy and he became a teen heartthrob and had many Barry penned top forty hits. Sadly, addiction took him too soon.
I absolutely LOVE The Bee Gee's! Their music never gets old! They were the opitome of disco! Theirs is a huge rabbit hole to dive into. They have SO many great songs! Listen to ALL of their catalog. You can't pick a bad one. Definitely listen to Andy. He was mymajor crush when I was ypung. He died at the age of 30 in 1988. Such a tragic loss for the brothers.
I know people always want to put music into "genres", but to quote Billy Joel "It's still Rock and Roll to me". 🤗🤔😎
YESSSSS! forget genres, they matter not one bit when it comes to song quality - good or bad. All ya need to know.
Staying alive is another classic.
You 2 would have loved being a 70s BRAT. The music was so popular 8 of the top 25 BIGGEST selling Albums in the USA Are from the 70s A True fact
More Bee Gees songs that are a MUST: Tragedy, More Than A Woman, You Should Be Dancing, Love So Right, Stayin' Alive, To Love Somebody
The Bee Gees were disco from 1975 & beyond. LOTS of people say they don't like disco, but there are many others who still love it... and those who can't admit it. I love all hit music from 1955 & beyond, and I have pretty much every disco song imaginable.
As long as people still listen to the music ... DISCO IS NOT DEAD!!!!
Ahh, another good one from the late 60s would be “To Love Somebody” from 1967! It’s my favorite Bee Gees tune!
"Words" and "To Love Somebody" are 2 other great Bee Gee songs, & my personal favorites.
Bee Gees are complete and incomparable!
The whole album “Main Course” is one of their best. This was released before Sat. Night Fever.
The Bee Gees owned all the top songs in Disco. Staying Alive was probably the biggest hit because of Saturday Night Fever and John Travolta. Dancing disco with so much fun you had to be there. Nothing like running full speed through the gym and then sliding across the floor on your knees with one arm to the sky and then back down all the way across the gym
The guitar shuffle in this song , Barry got it from driving over a bridge. And the tires hitting the road gave him the idea for the opening . You want to see concert footage of them playing ? Watch the Bee Gees live in Vegas one night only . Great show
This song is the kick off of the disco years. Keep going backwards in time and their sound changes radically.
They covered many genres starting in the 60s way before disco. They eventually went the disco route. They were amazing and wrote just about every song they sang!!!
Disco was totally great, many incredible songs
It was bashed by purist Rock heads like myself
Now at 59 I can appreciate that era of classic music 🎵
I totally understand this. I'm 59 also and we called ourselves disco destroyers!
You should definitely check out the 1968 Bee Gees classic "I started a joke" featuring the unique voice of the late great Robin Gibb. This song will hit you like a ton of bricks.
Bee Gees! Omg. I love this group so much💕💕💕
Also the dance was waving one hand over the other clapping hands then tapping knees… we rocked.
"Nights on Broadway" has to be next. And I hope that Barry catches one of your reactions too.
Watch them playing "You should be dancing". Andy is with them. Watch their little brother, Andy Gibb, who was very popular. You'll be amazed how much he looks and sounds like Barry.
Those guys had some soul music in all of their songs.....kinda cool!
Mo's bass line is absolutely amazing on this song...there is so much more you guys need to discover!! Enjoy!
Andy is their youngest brother, and had his own solo career. He was a teen hearthrob because he was only around 20 when he became famous and very cute. Sadly he was the first to die at age 30 in 1988. His first three songs went to number one, they are,, “I Just Want To Be Your Everything,” “Shadow Dancing,” and “(Love Is) Thicker Than Water. A great dance songs of the Bee Gees is " You should be dancing' and Andy is in the video singing with his brothers. Interesting story about "Jive taking" they were originally going to call it Drive talking because a bridge like formation they crossed on their way everyday to their recording studio in Florida made that sound they have in the song in the intro. Jive was slang back then for dont be kidding or joking around .
You should check out BeeGees live on the Midnight Special singing “Nights on Broadway”. Yes they play instruments- in fact Maurice’s bass lines are some of the best I’ve ever heard! You should also check out their 1960s & early 1979s stuff and you’ll see why Jive Talking was such a shock to everyone. We said “wait, THIS is the BeeGees!?” LOVE IT!
Probably my favourite Bee gee song
True. I forgot 🙃
Yep, Nights on Broadway may be my fave too!
Nights On Broadway is my absolute favorite song by them!😍
@@thatlindgirlinutah5829 What a great song. I have loved the Bee Gees forever, even when it was not cool to like disco. The song, To love somebody is also amazing and this is coming from a guy, lol.
"Saturday Night Fever" was considered a disco song, and this song was considered kind of funk. Like most of the other musicians you've covered, the Bee Gees changed their sound with the times, so on songs from the mid-seventies like this 1975 one, it'll have the funk or disco sound that was in at the time, while their stuff from the late 1960s sounds like that era, with some psychedelic influence, songs like 1967's "In My Own Time." And if you really wanna hear a great funk-disco song from their mid-seventies period that'll have you dancing, try "You Should Be Dancing" from 1976, a huge hit.
This song has so much greatness to it!! Pure crisp and clean vocals with funk, disco, and a little rock all in one simple tune!! These guys are a lost art!! Love me some Bee Gees!! They even helped lots of other artists with songs too!! Just great stuff!! J and Amber ... y'all are the best!! ❤
@Rob Squad Reactions
Try some earlier BeeGee before Disco. "I Gotta Get a Message to you," "Words," How Can you Mend a Broken Heart, I Started a Joke," or "Massachusetts" to bame just a few. They reinvented themselves about three times in order to remain current.
To me these were the best songs they did! I love Massachusetts!
I couldn't agree more. I feel like they got slotted into the "disco" trend and that's where people like to keep them, but what about the decades of music before and after that era? Also, I Gotta Get a Message to You is hands down my favourite by them.
Check out I started a Joke, it’s sung by brother Robin. His voice was amazing, just one of a kind.
Yes
Those guys had been around since the early 60s - when they were kids. So much cool talent.
Robin has the long hair, & the voice of an angel!! (Go listen to him solo on I Started a Joke!!) And I just love Maurice on the bass, on Jive Talkin' especially!!!!!! Barry ofc is just beyond words....
🕺🕺🕺
Edit: there is a GREAT documentary on HBO right now about them. Its only Barry (obvs) telling the stories but it’s fascinating to see how they grew up, started their careers, Saturday Night Fever and beyond. You’ll be SHOCKED to see how many songs they/he wrote for other people. It’s well-worth the watch. ❤️
Disco is short for discotheque, which is a dance hall where, instead of live music, the "disc jockey (DJ)" would play discs, i.e. records for people to dance to.
The Bee Gees started out with a different style but when they found disco they found their niche. For awhile they were the definition of disco. The whole purpose of disco is to get people up on their feet and dancing. How can you not love that?
This was from Main Course, which I think was a real departure for them. A big comeback. They loved R&B and this album was SO FREAKIN' GOOD! I love all their catalog, starting in the 60s to today with Barry's Greenfields. You can't go wrong!
Disco is great and Bee Gees contributed some terrific songs. Nothing wrong with at all. It’s music that people get up and dance to. Nothing wrong with that, in fact it’s what it’s all about in this case
Amber got it right. They defy cataloging in any shape or form. They are all talented musicians as well. Particularly Barry and Maurice
During that time, I loved disco as much as the next person :-) It was a great period of exploration of sounds breaking away from the uncluttered steady beats of the 60's and early 70's. It definitely had its place in music history but I now cringe at the things I wore during that time!
I think you mean Barry and Robin....Robin went off and did some of his own songs for a bit!
@@Renkk17
No, I meant Barry and Maurice as musicians not singers. Barry was multi talented and Maurice was a terrific keyboard player and a pretty decent guitarist.
@@topgazza Robin defined their earlier sound by singing lead on most of their songs back then. He was a very talented musician in his own right.
Robin was an instrumentalist as well. He primarily played a variety of keyboards, and played piano, organ, and Mellotron on The Bee Gees 1969 album "Odessa" and acoustic guitar and organ on his debut solo album "Robin's Reign" (1970).
Great reaction! Yep, they were disco and caught alot of bad vibes for it and people started burning their records! One of the twins, Maurice plays key board and guitar, Barry plays guitar. Baby brother Andy was not a Bee Gee, the middle brother is Robin the other twin. Andy dies in his 30s....so sad that Barry was the oldest but the only one left. 😢
It doesn't matter what anyone thinks of the genre. These guys were the definition of disco
"Jive talking, you're telling me lies..." Wicked bassline by Morris. Bee Gees turned funky when they began living and recording in Miami.
This actually my favorite BEEGEES song. Such a great dance song. They ARE disco!!
Just watched a 2 hour documentary on The Bee Gees- their history. Earlier songs slower tempo- started as preteens. As they grew older and more famous they grew apart and career faltered. They got back together and got a new chance to reinvent themselves with the falsetto sound- they were asked to write a song for a movie and they wound up writing the soundtrack. Great documentary/movie with their history and home movies. The ending made me cry as Barry said he’d give up all their hits to have his brothers back.
Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever was the absolute pinnacle of Disco. And we loved it!!
What is consistent in every reaction to Jive Talking is as soon as it starts, people start dancing
When disco came out most "rockers" hated on it. Personally, I didn't care for disco at the time but have changed over time. Disco have brought us some amazing artist. I really enjoy listening to some of it now. Plus, the Bee Gees evolved over time and embraced disco when it came around.
Yes, totally agree. Most of the stuff that people know is just the stuff that crossed over, but it isn't the hardcore disco that was played in the serious disco clubs. The Bee Gees are great, but they themselves said that they never considered themselves a disco act, and I agree. They are extremely talented beyond just disco.
Acknowledging you liked the Bee Gees in the 70s would get you beat up in my school. I was into hard rock but I secretly dug all the soul ,R and B and even top 40 but you had to choose sides you were either a rocker or disco boy
I didn't like disco as a rocker back then but appreciate more now when I compare it to the awful rap/hip-hop crap nowadays. Disco was far more musical with melodies and real people playing instruments and singing without auto-tune etc.
Disco was my fun years! MEMORIES!
Check out their "One Night Only" concert. Not only is it full of bangers from start to finish, they do an entire section with just the 3 of them and a guitar, their harmonies are great on studio recordings, but live they are on a different dimension!
That concert album is amazing
disco is a combo of rock, soul, funk, and Latino rhythms. And I love it! and the Bee Gees were totally disco icons.
Although they were phenomenally successful during the disco era, they also had an incredible career in the 60’s and early 70’s. Btw, did y’all catch the cowbell you love during the clapping.
Andy Gibb was the 4th brother who was solo. The long haired brother in the middle is Robin. Barry has seen all his brothers Andy, Robin and Maurice die.
I love their older stuff too. "Run To Me" is one of my faves.
I have 2 favorite songs by the Bee Gees.
1. Jive Talkin
2. One. And I HIGHLY RECOMMEND listening to One. Puts you in that feel good mood. ❤️❤️
Omg Maurice with that bass line!
Listen to "New York Mining Disaster 1941" by the Bee Gees. Their early pre-disco stuff was also amazing. If you watch the official video you get to see Barry as backup singer in a Beatle haircut.
Maurice plays several instruments. He plays bass on this track. I feel he is the underrated BeeGee.
Maurice is my favorite because he is the foundation that allowed Barry and Robin to shine.
I totally agree! Maurice was awesome!
There's a great scene about this song in the HBO documentary. Maurice was an innovator.
The beat that you hear during the song was what got Barry to write Jive Talkin'. The beat or groove played in the song came to Barry during a drive in his car. The song's rhythm was modelled after the sound his car made while driving across a causeway going to a recording studio in Miami, Florida. The working title to the song was "Drive Talkiin' ".
They were commissioned to write the songs for "Saturday Night Fever" and did it in one weekend. It made them overwhelmingly great!
Stigwood actually contacted them about writing some tracks for Saturday night fever, though they hadn't come up with a name yet for the movie. When he contacted the bee gees they said they'd already written a number of tracks for another album and said they'd send them to stigwood to check out. The rest is history
The Bee Gees (in their second iteration) were totally disco, LOL! Before that, they were rock n roll. Oh, next: Fanny (Be Tender with My Love).
They had a whole career of hit singles in the 60's that you should also explore. "I Got To Get A Message To You" is just one.
Good times !!!! Good times 👏💃🕺
Bee Gees are PURE Disco!!!
