Here at Last was the first official live recording released
by the Bee Gees, though many bootlegs have existed throughout the years of
earlier performances. The concert was filmed and a TV special was planned, but
after reviewing the footage the Bee Gees were unhappy with the quality of the
video and to this day it has not been released. -wiki

Gees - Children of the World
Because their manager Robert Stigwood had ended his U.S.
distribution arrangement with Atlantic Records, Atlantic producer Arif Mardin,
who had produced the Bee Gees' prior two albums, was no longer permitted to
work with the group. In an effort to retain the same sound, the Bee Gees
recorded at the same studios (Criteria Studios in Miami), used the same
engineer (Karl Richardson) and co-produced the album themselves with Richardson
and his friend, session musician Albhy Galuten. –wiki

Bee Gees - Love So Right
"Love So Right" is an R&B/pop ballad by the
Bee Gees in 1976. It was the first Bee Gees single to feature Barry's falsetto
exclusively as the lead vocal. The previous two singles, "Fanny (Be Tender
with My Love)" and "You Should Be Dancing", contained both
falsetto and normal register leads. The question of how much falsetto is enough
has caused much friendly argument among fans. -wiki

Bee Gees - You Should Be Dancing
"You Should Be Dancing" is known today as the
first chart-topper in which Barry Gibb uses his now-trademark falsetto in a
lead vocal (he had previously used it on the top-10 "Nights on
Broadway" and on "Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)"). Earlier
songs, such as "Jive Talkin'", had Gibb use a melodic blue-eyed soul
vocal style. -wiki
