    When this song came out, it set a record. The BeeGees were the first band, since the Beatles, to have 5 songs in the top 10, at the same time. The BeeGees, were at their peak, when this came out.

      So much misinformation. This song was released a year after the event you are referring to. Barry Gibb was the COMPOSER of 5 songs in the top 10 at the same time. And he did not set a record because as you said, the Beatles (Lennon/McCartney) already had the record. Goodness gracious. I can't believe so many likes for this post. People will believe anything they read.

      Richard, nice story, and The Bee Gees DID write 5 songs in the Top 10 all at once on February 25, 1978, when they had
      #1) "Stayin' Alive" Bee Gees
      #2) "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water" Andy Gibb
      #5) "Emotion" Samantha Sang
      #8) "Night Fever" Bee Gees
      #10) "How Deep Is Your Love" Bee Gees.
      AND "Tragedy" WAS the Bee Gee's 5th of 6 #1's in a row when it topped the charts on March 24, and 31, 1979.
      However, this was 13 months after Barry and the brothers had 5 of the Top 10 songs.

    The Gibb brothers wrote both "Tragedy" and "Too Much Heaven" (another American #1), in an afternoon off from making the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie in which they were starring. Then in the evening they wrote another American #1 single, "Shadow Dancing" for their brother Andy Gibb.
    Stuck for a convincing thunderclap sound, Barry Gibb cupped his hands over a microphone and made an exploding noise with his mouth. Several of these sounds were then mixed together, creating the large boom heard on this song.

      At the concert when they did this song, there was a big explosion with pyrotechnics and stuff. SO cool for my 4th grade self to see in 1979. One of the best times I remember with my Daddy.

    The disco era was about 3 years out of 50 or 60 years. They have distinct, very different eras musically. I fell in love with their 60s music (so romantic), then disco, then excellent music for others and themselves. You can’t put them in a box, except the box marked Unique Excellence.

      Exactly while I like their disco and remember when they were releasing those songs. I really prefer other eras more unless I am in the mood to dance like when I was in high school which makes my body hurt for days.
      I have never heard anyone say this so there is a great possibility I am wrong but I do not believe I have ever heard a male singer sing in falsetto for a continuous time as Barry Gibb. Unless maybe it it would be Marcelito Pomoy (not the correct spelling)

    This was after the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack so 1979.
    Their music was influenced by the Delphonics, who was a falsetto band. It wasn’t until the song Nights on Broadway that Barry gave the falsetto a try. Found success with it and was encouraged to keep singing with it.
    Also, the making of this song in studio is great to watch!

    You beautiful people delight me with your enthusiasm. And make me laugh with your innocence. Jay, I love that you love Bee Gees but kind of shake my head a little (with a smile) at how little you know about your favorite band/singer. You gotta keep in mind, this is a big world you're diving into. The Bee Gees put their first album out in 1965. Their 22nd and final album as a band was realeased in 2001. And this whole best-falsetto-ever didn't even become a thing until their 13th album, Main Course, which marked a big change in their sound. You should go back and find the early stuff (some of them great songs with Robin in the lead) like I Started a Joke, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Words, Lonely Days, Butterfly, Massachusetts, Run to Me.
    Dive deep! It's a fantastic rabbit hole to explore! Have fun.

    One day I was listening to an album rock station. When the DJ came back from a commercial break he said, "I'm going to paly you this record. We have a pre-release copy if it. It's not coming out for 3 or 4 weeks. We would never normally play this song because it's not our format. I'm playing it because it's going to be a HUGE record". That was the first time I heard "Tragedy". The rest is history. BTW Jay and Amber you should check out "New York City Mining Disaster". It's one of their first great songs way before the disco era stuff.

    The thunder sound you notice, Amber, is Barry making explosion sound with his hands formed like a megaphone close to the mike and then they amplified sound to add to recording where he wanted to accentuate the sound. It is shown on video while they are in recording studio. They are musical and production geniuses. Maurice is responsible for a lot of production composing for instrumental background in songs they wrote.He sings the sound to the brass to play on song You Should Be Dancing to name one but they all contribute to production sounds and are perfectionists in their execution of music. I loooove them soooo much. I'm with you Robb. The more you see them on utube interviews, the more you fall in love with each one. You have to react to song called Fanny. Beautiful and musically perfect. So happy to hear of someone in your generation discovering them. Better Midler first gained fame as zinger and recording artist. Did that waaay before movies. Her first sound was from 40's, WWII, music. Her sings were covered some by Pointer Sisters performing on TV shows. Movie called "For the Boys" is my favorite of her acting and singing performances.

    They had a great career, then they were asked to do the music for Saturday Night Fever. This was some of the new Disco music they came out with at that time. Disco was a big thing then, so they kept up.

    You guys absolutely need to listen to more franki valli and the four seasons. Definitely a great falsetto like Barry

      Frankie can go in and out of falsetto where Barry cannot. Barry sounds like he struggles to get there where Frankie does not. Barry is good but Frankie is the best. Just sayin'.

    Love the reaction! The Bee Gees are one of the greatest bands of all time! You should check out a song they released in the early 1990's called For Whom the Bell Tolls. It is such an underrated song because it was a later release

      Yes, please! I promise that both of you won't be disappointed with this amazing song for one of your Bee Gees reactions.

    Now you have to go watch the video called The Making Of Tragedy by The Bee GeeS. You’ll see that explosion sound is made by Barry at the microphone with his hands over it blowing into the mic! Magic!
