Today’s Video: The Bee Gees - E.S.P.

"E.S.P." was a single by the Bee Gees. Released in 1987, it was the follow-up to their successful single "You Win Again". The second single did much less well than "You Win Again" reaching only number 13 in Germany and outside top forty elsewhere....wiki

Today’s Video: The Bee Gees - You Win Again

Robin Gibb said "We absolutely thought that 'You Win Again' was going to be a big hit. It took us a month to cut it and get the right mix.

Maurice Gibb explained.... "When we get together and write it's not like three individuals it's like one person in the room, Usually we have a book of titles and we just pick one. I loved 'You Win Again' as a title, but we had no idea how it might turn out as a song....”

When this reached #1 on 17 October 1987 in the UK, it made the Bee Gees the first group to score a UK #1 hit in each of three decades: the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. -wiki

The Bee Gees - The Woman in You

"The Woman in You" is one of five songs the Bee Gees contributed to the film, Staying Alive, the sequel to Saturday Night Fever. Director Sylvester Stallone used the Bee Gees songs in the movie more as background music rather than the prominent way Saturday Night Fever had featured them. The single received more airplay than the Bee Gees previous two singles, though not enough to reach a top 10 position. In interviews following the release of the film, the brothers expressed their displeasure at the way their songs were edited and revealed that their hearts were not in the music. By 1983, the Bee Gees were focusing their talents on solo projects and production of other artists, so it is not surprising that they were not all enthusiastic about the Staying Alive movie.

The Bee Gees - He's a Liar

"He's a Liar" was the first single from The Bee Gees album Living Eyes released in 1981. It had been approximately 2 years (an eternity in that era) since the last Bee Gees single had been released and although this song sounded nothing like the Bee Gees' disco-era singles, the backlash had pigeonholed the Bee Gees as a disco act and radio stations were reluctant to play any new Bee Gees music. After 6 consecutive number-one singles, "He's a Liar" barely cracked the top 40, peaking at #30 in the US, which was a far cry from the dizzying heights of their success in the late '70s. -wiki
