    Everything is there. The music, the lyrics, the looks, the voice, oh and did I mention *THE VOICE*
    She has some vocal inflections that don't fit into any key yet are totally right. Her singing alone is sexy without ever being gratuitous.
    Perfect!

    • @YaoEspirito
      @YaoEspirito 7 років тому +4

      Before '79 or so every major studio production would have full string and brass sections. That's why recordings from the 70's sounded so organic and rich. A couple of years later synths took over and made live orchestration impractical.
      I used to hate the BeeGees back in the day, but looking back now from this wasteland of contemporary 'music', boy, that rich, warm sound of 'Stayin' Alive'!

    Lord have mercy, how I use to steps to this song on the disco floor in Jamaica in my young days. Melba Moore "Stepped into my Life and I was Oh so happy." I "Lean on Me" and found out what's on "The other side of the Rainbow." The good old days with the incomparable Melba, holding her notes for about 36 seconds at the end of both songs.
