MUSIC REVIEW & RECORD COLLECTOR NOTES

The Bee Gee's were a soft Rock group fronted by the Gibb brothers, Robin Gibb, Maurice Gibb and Barry Gibb and hailed from Australia.

With the help of Robert Stigwood and RSO Records the Bee Gees were thrust into the emerging Disco spotlight with songs such as "Jive Talkin'," "Night Fever" and "You Should Be Dancin'" for the Saturday Night Fever movie soundtrack of 1977.

Besides their own material, the Gibb brothers either as a group or individually, also wrote numerous songs for others such as "Ain't Nothing Gonna Keep Me From You" for Teri DeSario and "You Stepped Into My Life" for Melba Moore and later Wayne Newton .

Featured here is a rare single sided 12" Disco promo on RSO Records of "You Should Be Dancing," a really good Bee Gees song.

Didn't want to put the Bee Gees here in the Disco Records Vault, but I finally did. It's not that the Bee Gees are hated, It's simply that we've all overdosed on them and Disco got a bad rap primarily because of the Bee Gees. There are even some misguided souls who think this is all Disco ever was and neglect Disco's true roots and sounds. "Earth to misguided soul: The Bee Gee's did NOT invent Disco, they merely jumped on the bandwagon after it had been around for years."

Having said all that about the Bee Gee's, they are still required listening just tell those wann-be retro DJs to play other things besides the Bee Gees and the Village People and dig a little deeper into real Disco music for a change.

    A continuation is conning sorry ! I do tend to go on! LOl guess that's why my husband always tells me too" shut up Tra!" ( but in a nice way! We've been together since I was 14 and he 17(29 yrs married next mo!) just flies by.. But I still have all my BeeGee memorbelia( from before we met! He's the one to told me to hang on to it and I'm so had!! I've even added the Isle of Mann sterling Silver 50th Anniversary coin and in 1988 all ur autographs at a local radio station( outside, I waited with ur limo driver) in RI( u were on ur way to Boston. The radio station was interviewing u all and giving tickets away for a party with u at a secret local in Boston. Sound Familiar? Barry, Linda was with u & u rented a silver Lincoln limo. She came out first I smiled but she did not.oh well( I looked really awful too! I didn't expect it or would have changed and wore makeup! A camera? Better pad? I'm lucky I got it at all and u don't even remember it! But I'll never forget so thank u !! All!!Txxx

    Of course to go" clubbing" with my legal age cousins( OK so I'd have a drink or Perhaps 2, 35yrs ago I'd puke after that! But those Dance Floors, when "Stayin Alive" came on" u Should be Dancing"( do people no it was actually written for Children of the World"?)"Night Fever","if I Can't have u"&" How Deep is ur Love & More than a Woman", well let's just say the dance floor was invisible! It was body to body.sweat? God it was just oozing out of some people!
    The BeeGees did nOt creat Disco! What they created went much, much deeper than that.. And the shitstirrirs no this! They r jealous because they never can.. It's called IMMORTLLITY! So Desevered!!

    First off, why these cracker jacks u call bodies with supposed BRAINS can even BLAME ALL that crap that went down about " Too Much Disco"( Barry, laugh in their faces, write a song titled THAT and let say Adele sing it and watch it FLY to # 1!!! Right up their Arses! Lol) anyway off track, OK , a very few of ur songs " might" be considered Disco.. But again it was the Movie, Era, Genra of the time,Clothes, situations and honestly even drugs... People went out on a Friday Night( Friend Night Usually!!) smoked some weed( or what ever floated their boat ) had a few drinks and danced danced danced(, till their make- up ran off their faces, their teased hair was matted with sweat and hairspray was a joke and girls were borrowing each others perfumes. The guys had no sweaty make-up, but soaked facial hair and scalps, huge wet rings under their button down open to the navel shirts( with a Mr. T starter kit in either " the pre- starter T", the pre- delux kit or " the Mr. T Starter deluxe with Bonus RoxkyIII Video included free".
    Ah Yes those were the days! The Drinking age was 18 back then and I'd just turned tender 13 and I'd sneak( with my parents permission

    WOW, you blamed the BEE GEES for the demise of DISCO??? WRONG, the BEE GEES were DISCO'S good will ambassadors. They helped give DISCO credibility. They pour fuel on a fame and created a huge fire. That that fire eventually burned out, has nothing to do with the the guys who poured the fuel. OVER-SATURATION of a product on the American market will create a negative backlash from that same market. DISCO is a classic example of that fact. We gave them so much of it, so fast, in such quantity, that it made the AMERICAN MARKET SICK. They ate so much of DISCO, that it made them vomit and they got sick of it!! That is why the term DISCO is looked down upon like a virus! Today DISCO still exists, it is called DANCE MUSIC, TECHNO, HOUSE something along that line. I still refer to it as what it really is, DISCO!----- Now as for this song. In 1976 and 77 in New York/New Jersey, this song ruled! Number one song for like four-months. I personally remixed it twice a night for about twenty minutes each time. No-one left the floor, instead the Dance floor would over-flow. Number one PRIME TIME song in the mid-seventies. Fantastic percussions, vocals. I loved it. My favorite DISCO BEE GEE song, by far! On my scale from 1-10, easily, a very strong TEN!!!
