One of the things that I just can’t get over about the BeeGees is the sheer number of truly great songs that these guys have written. Not only have they produced some truly great songs for themselves but have given us other winners like “Heartbreaker’ for Dionne Warwick, ‘Woman In Love’ for Barbara Streisand and ‘Chain Reaction’ for Diana Ross (which despite being a BeeGees song is also in the style of a Motown classic!!).
There are so many songs by the BeeGees that I like that it’s almost impossible to know where to start but it is this one that I have chosen to start with. Originally released in the 1970s this is a song that has matured with age and maybe even has come to take on a different meaning with time. The thing about all of the BeeGees songs is their melodies and sentiment combine with the diversity of their voices and harmonies and make a sound that is truly unique within popular music and for me (at least) very appealing. They really are a truly amazing talent and the untimely death of Maurice (which has stopped Barry and Robin from continuing to make music) is a genuine loss.
Now listen to the song….
