    Hope you know The Bee Gees had a successful career before their Disco phase, and they also had a successful career after their Disco phase. The Bee Gees have a song catalogue and track record second to none. This covers all phases of their incredible career. Check out some of their fantastic non-disco songs. The guy in the middle is the oldest brother, Barry Gibb.

    Enjoying your reaction.
    I’m glad you brought up the question of the younger generation only knowing songs like this from partial clips (TikTok) or a cover without hearing the full song.
    When I hear them in movies I play the whole song/video/movie scene out in my head every time because I know them by heart and then my body reacts exactly the way it did when I was on the dance floor; the head to chest bounce, the four beat shoulder sway, toe steppin to a slide … so embarrassing yet so fun.
    Personally I love the younger generation keeping music alive from all decades and genres and sometimes movies expose music to new and familiar ears which is a positive.
    If people love it enough to go look up the full song or find more music by that artist, that’s all gravy.
    Take the music as it comes, enjoy what you enjoy and let it ‘move you’, that’s what gets remembered… songs that make you move and move you emotionally.

    They were actually writing for their next album in France. When contacted about writing soundtrack, they said didn’t have time but had 5 songs written this being one of them. It was inspired by a trip to New York during Son of Sam and all the struggles they saw. But was used in scene with John Travolta walking in beginning on Saturday Night Fever.
    Some of their other songs you would enjoy are DejaVu, Obsessions, I Surrender and Wind of change (1979). ❤❤❤

    Actually, this song was written specifically for the movie, "Saturday Night Fever". Then Sylvester Stallone wrote a sequel to the movie, titled "Staying Alive". Saturday Night Fever had quite a few Bee Gees songs, and a few that they wrote for the move were performed by other singers for the movie. The Bee Gees are the greatest of all time.

    The BeeGees were: the tallest and oldest brother (with the big hair and beard), Barry Gibb, born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Robin Gibb (with the long hair, no beard), born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, and Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (the balding brother with the beard, pronounced "Morris") Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away January 12, 2003. They also had another, younger, brother Andy Gibb, born March 5, 1958-passed away March 10, 1988.
    The three oldest brothers were born on the Isle of Man (UK). Oldest brother Barry got seriously burned when he accidentally pulled boiling tea over himself at 18 months old. He was in coma for a while, nearly died and was in hospital for many months. Because of this, he did not learn to talk until after the twins were born. Later the family moved to Manchester and from there they emigrated to Australia in 1958, right after Andy was born. All 4 brothers are just natural musical talents. All of them dropped out of high school in their early teens and none of them could read or write music. All their compositions were created completely organically.
    Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1967. Then they had a string of big hits, until they temporarily broke up around 1970 for 15 months. Started back up, looking for a new sound which they first found in 1974 with the transitional album "Mr. Natural". After that "Main Course" was the first album that moved them into a new direction: more rhythm&blues, dance music like with great hits like Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin' (and was also actually the first album on which their logo was introduced).
    From 1976 on they went all out with falsetto driven dance music which lead to their biggest commercial success as they provided classic songs for the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack (1977 Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, Night Fever amongst them). You should react to the 1979 live version of Stayin' Alive, too th-cam.com/video/7niXSh7vWRI/w-d-xo.html Other great songs to analyze: great album tracks from the 1979 Spirits Having Flown album, the title song: th-cam.com/video/WH_j90fCIk4/w-d-xo.html, the outrageously beautiful song Reaching Out th-cam.com/video/vfHUS5Mf00Q/w-d-xo.html. From their Still Waters album, Smoke and MIrrors: th-cam.com/video/MT9vRHSWNbk/w-d-xo.html. From the 1960's I've gotta get a message to you th-cam.com/video/CA4CInDnTk8/w-d-xo.html. And from the 1990's the simple song Blue Island live in an accoustic version: th-cam.com/video/162GlAEpfrY/w-d-xo.html.
    Andy was kind of Barry's mini me, about half a foot shorter and 12 years younger but they were the only lefties of the family. However, his voice was nowhere near as broad in range or as strong as Barry's. As producer Alby Galuten said in the book "Tales of the brothers Gibb "Andy's falsetto was nowhere near Barry's." Andy had a lower, huskier, sound to his voice and his range was not as big as Barry's. I personally always thought his voice was much better suited to songs of his first album, Flowing Rivers. Andy died of myocarditis - which is an inflammation of the heart - on March 10, 1988, 5 days after his 30th birthday. His heart had been weakened by his drug addiction over the years which, by the way, was also the main reason for his split from Victoria Principal. He also had a congenital heart problem that was later also discovered in Barry and Barry's second son Ashley. Try listening to the song Dreamin' on th-cam.com/video/-KdBVKcSSSw/w-d-xo.html which is kind of a duet with Barry. And here are the 4 brothers live on stage in 1979 doing You Should Be Dancing th-cam.com/video/_6MR-E_Qzz0/w-d-xo.html And finally a few photos of Barry and Andy: i.postimg.cc/jS6n3Jkv/Barry-Andy.jpg and i.postimg.cc/TwnPh8M0/82c126fc42a35d3b737867af41338199.jpg and the 4 brothers with their mother i.postimg.cc/FRNMbwkD/b9b2561eadffee11347573c97063c2f8-zpsd89478eb.jpg
    So, oldest brother Barry is the only surviving son of Hugh and Barbara Gibb and his only remaining sibling is sister Leslie, who was born in 1945. Barry got married for the second time on September 1, 1970, this time to Linda Grey. They have five children together: Stephen (Dec. 1, 1973), Ashley (Sept. 8, 1977), Travis (Jan. 10, 1981), Michael (Dec. 1, 1984) and only daughter Alexandra/Ali (born prematurely Dec. 29, 1991, was due in April 1992). Barry and Linda celebrated their 54th anniversary on September 1, 2024, Barry's 78th birthday.

    The middle guy is Barry Gibb and the song was written for a movie: SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, with John Travolta. Remember they wrote ALL their music!
    The Bee Gees WERE the MEGA GROUP of the 70’s. At one point, they had 6 of the top 10 songs at the same time that they either wrote and sung themselves or that they wrote for other people.
    And on this actual record, Maurice Gibb (the shorter one) is playing the bass guitar, and Barry (the lead) is playing the acoustic guitar.

    They were writing songs for her new album, when their producer R. Stigwood asked them to write the soundtrack for his new movie saturday night fever. They told him that they wouldn`t have time for this, but he could have some of the songs they have written for the new album. They knew nothing about the movie.The Bee Gees' involvement in the film did not begin until post-production. As John Travolta asserted, "The Bee Gees weren't even involved in the movie in the beginning ... I was dancing to Stevie Wonder and Boz Scaggs. The brothers wrote the songs "virtually in a single weekend" at Château d'Hérouville studio in France. Saturday Night Fever was the best-selling album in music history, and still ranks among the best-selling soundtrack albums worldwide, with sales figures of over 40 million copies.The album stayed atop the charts for 24 straight weeks from January to July 1978 and stayed on Billboard's album charts for 120 weeks until March 1980. So they become the "disco kings"without knowing what disco was/meant or being interested in disco music. Barry once said he's never been to a disco!

An amazing song to close their incredible carreer along 5 decades with songs in the top 5 of each one. I could see them live in the One Night Only tour in Buenos Aires, Argentina, my country.

    The Bee Gees and Saturday night fever were together. You think of John Travolta and the Bee Gees as one. They came together and made a great movie and it was just amazing. Of course the Bee Gees and John Travolta went on their different journeys - with their great talents.
    They also had flops- Sargent Peppers- was terrible and John Travolta went through a sabbatical until Pulp Fiction. This is my take on what I feel like as an adult about the 70's disco era. I'm so glad I experienced them then and now- I'm blessed - what can I say!!

    Want to hear a different “voice” from Barry? Do the live 1975 Midnight Special’s WIND OF CHANGE, or NIGHTS ON BROADWAY.
    But one of my favorite songs from them is: FANNY BE TENDER.
    They had a younger brother, Andy Gibb, who had a solo career. Do the video of YOU SHOULD BE DANCING, and you’ll actually see all 4 brothers on stage together…one of the few times this happened in their career.

    Their career spanned many decades. Try a sampling from different eras: 60's: "To Love Somebody", Early 70s: "Run to Me", Mid 70s: "Nights on Broadway", 80s: "Don't Fall in Love with Me", 90s: The entire Still Waters Album and the entire Size Isn't Everything album? Okay, well, try "Alone" for 90s. 2001: "Just in Case" if you can find it else "She Keeps on Coming".

    I a teenager when this came out and I know that the Bee Gees got their falsetto style from Blk American singers like Blue Magic and Stylistics. They as much admitted it in an interview in documentary. Albeit they had a career in the U.K, they became famous in America after adopting the style. To say that no one did it better is an insult to the Blk artists from whom they adopted the style. Just saying...

      @@nelerhabarber5602 We may differ in what is consider the "top ten" falsetto singers, but we cant argue with history. "The Ink Spots, one of the first doo-wop groups, and to Bill Kenny's extraordinarily fluid falsetto on 'If I Didn't Care', moving up and up the register as the song goes on, until he sounds like a theremin. 'If I Didn't Care' sold 19 million copies on Decca Records in 1939, still a smash hit by any measure." (Google AI) Falsetto is an art form where the singer is singing in an unatural pitch, which is something that stared back in the 30s when doo wop started. It was started and perfected by Blk trios and quartets long before the people you listed... You might want to check that out for yourself.
