When I was in middle school and played trumpet we played all the Bee Gees songs. Night Fever used to be my favorite to play. We used to play Andy Gibb's Shadow Dancing too. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

One of my favorite Bee Gees songs along with "How Deep Is Your Love" and "Fanny" "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

One of the greatest summer songs of all time. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

Actually Andy died from myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle probably damaged by years of drug abuse. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Travolta was getting it. Wish we could just permanetly bring back the 70s and 80s, such an a amazing and irreplacable time for music.purplethunder3121 said:

As Bob Daisley aptly put it (*towards alcohol) "Wine is fine, but whiskey's quicker suicide is slow with liquor" Same case goes. Whatever abuse it was, it was abuse that provoked a response in whatever predisposition of birth he had" ....same theory applies to Robin Gibb... The abuse contributed to a congenital predisposition which lead him to death from heart failure, an unacknowledged family disposition ♫"Trollin, Trolling! We could have fun just trollin'!"♫ | |

"Shadow Dancing" was the very first 45 that I bought | |

That run at the start of 1978 is legendary. Barry Gibb had a hand in writing 6 different songs that were #1 for 23 of the first 30 weeks of the year! That's not even counting the last two weeks in '77. A backlash was probably inevitable. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I remember the late movie critic Gene Siskel said Purple Rain was basically Saturday Night Fever which was basically A Rebel Without a Cause. I can see an influence in the way Prince dance sequence was filmed in the finale. |

yep...in April of '78,I believe there were three Bee Gees' songs in the Top 10,plus "Emotion" by Samantha Sang (written and produced by Barry) and "If I Can't Have You" by Yvonne Elliman (written by The Bee Gees).By June,Andy Gibb's "Shadow Dancing" (written and produced by Barry) was at #1 for several weeks...and around the same time, there was Frankie Valli's "Grease" theme song,also written by Barry! ...
