    The Bee Gees were so huge in the 70's that after awhile it became "cool" to bash the Bee Gees & disco in general. I remember the phrase "Disco Sucks" was common place.
    Now it's refreshing to hear these great songs again & them being introduced & appreciated by a new generation.

      Motown still underrated. It wasn't underrated then. But the singing show contests on TV even when they use some old Motown just trivializes it and reminds me of enjoying the music, not some identity crisis actor singing for cash to buy video games.

      @@trudyjoejenkins9357 Maurice caused much anxiety often in the studio because of his worsening alcoholism during the 1970's. He was not consistently dependable to show up and contribute-- Robin and Barry covered for him as much as they could. The crew and band members all covered for Mo. He got it under control after those frenetic 70's, until Andy died in 1988. Mo's alcoholism went out of control again until 1991-92, when he finally went sober through an AA program and enjoyed the last decade of his life, as a happy, energetic, productive artist and family man. Mo had such gifts!!! He was taken too soon~ All of these events are well- chronicled and discussed openly by Maurice and his family. You Tube is one source (interviews) and various books and documentaries.

They had hits prior to the Disco Era and beyond not just for themselves but for other artists often singing backing vocals. You listen to something like this or a post Fever tune like Tragedy or Too Much Heaven and realize how versed and smart they were as musicians whi honed their craft as childhood musicians into adulthood. So glad tye got into the Rocj N Roll Hall of Fame because even a song like Lonely Days Lonely Nights was killer

These brothers always brought the smoothest, most polished vocal harmonies, and sometimes, like with this tune, a slappin' beat as well.

    The first time I heard this, I was driving into my apartment parking lot. I heard that opening beat and thought "damn!!! That's funky! Who is this!?" And I stayed in my car (parked) till it was over.

    This song is brilliantly produced and the song is flawless. For me, what stood out the most though was tthe drums.

      Maurice's falsetto when singing it live.

    These guys were in a state of grace with this album. Crazy good production, what with Barry discovering his falsetto during this time. Do listen to the exquisite "Fanny Be Tender" if you can. You won't regret it!

    Hooked on Bee Gees since I was 10. I’m 56 now and love them more than ever.

    This is the most underrated and greatest song by the Bee Gees. A true 70's banger!
