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".

Bee Gees - Massachusetts

It was their first Number 1 hit in Australia and the UK and eventually became one of the best-selling singles of all time, selling over 5 million copies worldwide. When the Bee Gees wrote the song, they had never been to Massachusetts.

The song was intended as an antithesis to flower power anthems of the time such as Let's Go to San Francisco and San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) in that the protagonist had been to San Francisco to join the hippies but was now homesick. The idea of the lights having gone out in Massachusetts was to suggest that everyone had gone to San Francisco.

Robin Gibb recalled "This was a bittersweet victory. The day it went to number one it was Bonfire Night and I was in the Hither Green rail crash in Lewisham. Forty-nine people died and it was one of Britain's worst rail disasters. Luckily I didn't get injured. I remember sitting at the side of the carriage, watching the rain pour down, fireworks go off and blue lights of the ambulances whirring. It was like something out of a Spielberg film. I thought, at least there is one consolation, we have our first UK number one." -wiki
