In response to several requests, I present the Brothers Gibb.
Now, let me be perfectly frank. My earliest musical tastes were formed by my brothers, which involved pure rock and roll. And then when I became old enough to develop tastes of my own, I went everywhere from old school rap, to classical, to jazz, to new wave, to indie, and beyond. If you look at my “played list” from Google Play Music, it is a smorgasbord of musical insanity. Needless to say, I held disco in disdain for a long time.
But, you get older, and your tastes mutate, and the Brothers Gibb have found a small niche in my musical heart. And, of course, they had a career before and after “Saturday Night Live”.
Get your dancing shoes on, and hustle to the Bee Gees.
(True story: my older cousin won a disco dancing competition. I wonder if that’s a predictor of right wing politics as an adult?)

Hello TOD friends.
“How deep is your love” is one of my favorites.
Congrats on 1st, COS!
Hello and thanks Mrs. O’Boomer. Happy Saturday night.
Happy Saturday night to you!
Congrats COS on #1 🙂
“How deep is your love” is also one of my favorite BG’s songs! 🙂 🙂
Congrats on 1st COS!!!
Great selection, LL!!!!
Goodnight all.
Good lord, my desk is a mess.
Glad you gave us the Bee Gees before you noticed your desk! Thanks.
We’ve all got to start somewhere.
Oh my…LOL! Damn….hadn’t seen this before… 🙂 🙂
I hadn’t either! Too funny.
Had no idea they wrote this song, either (only knew the Dolly Parton / Kenny Rogers version) – although they’ve written for a huge number of other artists. Their voices are so rich.
Yes, they wrote Dionne Warwick’s “Heartbreaker”
Think I saw a list where they wrote almost 1,000 songs! Here are a few more notables, and Heartbreaker’s included on this list:

WOW…very talented siblings. There is one song of Olivia Newton John “Common Over” which I happen to like – also written by them. 🙂
You know, I only recently learned that the two younger ones were twins.
Never knew that!
They look better there than in the 1974 outfits! Yikes – the 70s had some ghastly “style”
Agree – hated the ghastly ’70s style!
This is one of my favorite performances …
Me too, JOB
🙂
AHA! What a nice surprise – thanks LL 🙂
Just as good imho.
Indeed Yardarm. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Liked that? How about this. 🙂
🙂 🙂 Yup…All the good songs of the 70’s..
LOL! I remembered one of my former Landlords played this song from exile on loop for an entire afternoon….(4 hrs straight)..
Sounds like a serious luv ‘jones’ to me. He needed a drink I think. 😆
LOL Yes, and knowing him, he probably already had one too many drinks…
Whatever works, eh?
I like them, too.
Good. I’m not alone then. 😉
Nope!
That’s a comfort.
this is my favorite…Yard…
Sara Smile…
OH HELL YEAH! Like making love standing up in a hammock. 😮
Mercyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy….
Weeeeeeell!
Also good (imho):
Incurable romantic?
Don’t even want the cure!
SLURP!
🙂
What! No comment? 😆
Don’t tempt me, Sailor Man. Gotta run – wore myself out dancin’. 🙂
My favorite songs that go way back from the Bee Gees is How Do You Bend a Broken Heart?
Underrated Gems:
How do you mend a broken heart
Rest your love on me
Never before having flown
I’ll have to check out the other two. I don’t remember those. Thanks, hopefruit.
Anytime sjterrid! 🙂
This was cool too.
And finally this.
Another Favorite. He died way too soon.
Sure did.
LOVE Jim Croce
I’ve been off having an ol’ white chick moment on YouTube with the Bee Gees and their lyrics! Ha. Here’s another:
Oh my ROTFLMAO! Sexi McCain…
Yardarm, you won’t be needing any naughty mats for anyone on TOD when it comes these three….
Bob Seger – 1976 – Night Moves (Ahhhh … )
From one of the comments (and pretty much how it was back in the ’70s!:
I like the story he told about writing this song. This is from a 12/9/71 Rolling Stone album review. Cat said: “I get the tune and then I just keep on singing the tune until the words come out from the tune. It’s kind of a hypnotic state that you reach after a while when you keep on playing it where words just evolve from it. So you take those words and just let them go whichever way they want… ‘Moonshadow’? Funny, that was in Spain, I went there alone, completely alone, to get away from a few things. And I was dancin’ on the rocks there… right on the rocks where the waves were like blowin’ and splashin’. Really, it was so fantastic. And the moon was bright, ya know, and I started dancin’ and singin’ and I sang that song and it stayed. It’s just the kind of moment that you want to find when you’re writin’ songs.” — Cat Stevens to a Boston DJ
It’s time for me to put it rest.
Goodnight, Yardarm. (Never knew that was a real ship!)
Indeed it was.
Are you serious, JOB? It really was
I’m always serious, Barb. Ha!
Gordon Lightfoot, a great Canadian!
Hahahahahahahahahaha….
That is so very funny. Ha!
he is fronting….she is the mechanic in the family!
Love it!
hehehehe
WOW…now this is really deep!…
Good Night, TOD. Thanks for providing the music.
Leaving so soon? Ha! Pleasure listening with you. Sweet dreams.
I wanted to make sure I said good night before everybody else left.
Wow. Here’s a sobering quote from our AG via TME … the “cut deeper” part really gets me. Truth.
Just one more.
Good night TOD
