Today’s Video: The
Bee Gees - Too Much Heaven
The single "Too Much Heaven" was released in the
late autumn of 1978. It had originally been intended for use in the John
Travolta movie Moment By Moment, but was pulled before the film's release
reportedly because Barry Gibb thought the movie was awful when he was shown a
rough cut.
The recording process was the longest of all the tracks on
Spirits Having Flown as there are nine layers of three-part harmony creating 27
voices, though the high falsetto voices are the most pronounced in the final
mix:
Barry on falsetto
lead three times
falsetto high
harmony three times
falsetto low
harmony three times
Barry on natural
voice lead three times
high harmony three
times
low harmony three
times
Barry, Robin and
Maurice together on lead three times
high harmony three
times
low harmony three
times.
The horn section from the band Chicago play on the song, in
return for the brothers’ appearance on the Chicago song "Little Miss
Lovin".
