Today’s Video: Bee 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

Today’s Video: The 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

Today’s Video: The 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
