The Bee Gees, a group consisting of 3 English brothers that were transplanted to Australia, has been around since the early days of the British Invasion & had already recorded several memorable records. But when oldest brother Barry Gibb discovered that he could sing in falsetto, they never looked back. They came up with two #1 records- "Jive Talkin'" in 1975 & "You Should Be Dancing" in 1976 & were naturals to do the soundtrack album for the disco-oriented film "Saturday Night Fever" starring John Travolta. And did they deliver! 3 #1 songs by the Bee Gees- "How Deep Is Your Love", "Stayin' Alive" & "Night Fever" plus a #1 by Yvonne Elliman with their song "If I Can't Have You" plus Tavares went to #32 with "More Than A Woman". But the LP also contained other classic disco hits such as "Disco Inferno" by the Trammps & "A Fifth Of Beethoven" by Walter Murphy. "Saturday Night Fever" went on to be a smash film & this album became the biggest selling soundtrack of all time.15 tracks- Stayin' Alive, How Deep Is Your Love, If I Can't Have You (Yvonne Elliman), A Fifth Of Beethoven (Walter Murphy), Jive Talkin', K-Jee (M.F.S.
