What happened with the Bee-Gees is that they made the music not trying to be disco nut just trying to make good music.Someone labelled them disco after.
Me too. Well, until my knees gave out. Then I couldn't go dancing EVERY night. It was a great way to meet people and have fun with your friends. Kids these days don't know what they are missing as they sit in the basement getting their workout and socialization on their video games. I don't get it.
Fun Fact: The Bee Gees song 'Stayin Alive' is often used in many countries when giving CPR to heart failure victims as the beat is ideal when giving chest/heart massage in times of crisis.
Vinnie Jones made an information video about it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tD2qTmDsiHk.html and remember, you only kiss your missus on the lips!
People give disco a hard time but the music & that whole era was a helluva lot of fun. This song was from the soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever", the most famous movie about disco & one of the bestselling soundtracks of all time! If you haven't seen the movie you must at least see the whole scene where Travolta dances to this! Maybe it's here on RU-vid.💙
You should be dancing was first released in 1976 on the album Children Of The World. Then was again used in SNF. Also Jive Talkin' from the 1975 album Main Course was reused on SNF
I’m right with you James! I’ve always gotten soooo ticked off when people bad mouth disco!’😤 I never cared, back in the day OR now! Bring me the funk all day/ night long!! ❤️🤘🏼✌️
I am so proud of you to want to learn this music, it is genius level. So much of what you are listening to today is sampled or stolen from these artists, it was created from scratch. 20 years from now no rapper will be collecting royalties from his or her works, it will be considered trash and you will be too embarassed by your lack of creativity. Disco came out of a celebration of an end to the Viet Nam war and everyone wanted to have fun. You reacted to Gimme Shelter which was written during the senseless slaughter of American and Vietnamese lives. Young people were much more politcally aware during this time: Civil Rights, the draft, Womens rights, the beinnings of the Gay movement, equality for everyone and the music reflected this. I am not knocking the generation you are in but I would like for it to create its own music and identity: Climate change, the rising of dictators, laws being diluted because of man made religions, gun control. These issues can be addressed in your music. John Lennon: Happiness is a warm gun. Edwin Starr's, War. These songs apply today. Keep learning, you have the right spirit, do not let your neighborhood, color, peer pressure guide you, most of the people you are profiling were rebel/geniuses, their brains took the lead. I was there.
70's Rule. I'm a huge prog rock fan, but, it's a fact that Bee Gees and Abba had brilliant songs, in a crazy variation of styles: disco music, rock, glam rock, romantic balladas... More than 40 years after their peak, no one, band or singer, reached their level. Greets from Brazil.
Disco was hated by hard-core rock and rollers, but as they got used to it, they secretly started liking it! The Bee Gees were especially made fun of in the beginning and now they are icons! I loved your reaction! I also love the little stories you tell about your Grandma, treasure her!
Disco is still here even this new generation is listening to it and like it.Its just been reinvented its not called disco any more its called dance,Trance and Techno It never left !
I loved Disco. Getting dressed up in a swirling dress and dancing the night away at all different clubs. Donna Summer, the Queen of Disco and the Bee Gees the ultimate singers. Thanks so much for playing this music. Dancing in my chair right now lol.
Two of my college room mates worked at a local disco part time. It was great fun to get dressed up and go out. The girls wore dresses and looked great. I had a silk shirt with bell sleeves, dress pants, platform shoes, and of course a chain or two around my neck. Most discos had dress codes and wouldn't let you enter wearing blue jeans or tee shirts. The disco-tech had cloth tablecloths, light shows, dance floors lighted from below, and great sound systems. It was loads of fun but the discos didn't really last very long. I don't think I ever played disco music at home, but it was played at every party.
DISCO WAS THE BOMB. We used to dance until our feet were so blistered we couldn't walk the next day. At least disco was UPBEAT, and you could DANCE to it.
Like it or not, this is the early Disco era...and here we have the Bee Gees entering a new Dimension (for them). I admire their intrepidation with new styles ind innovation. Even as a non-Disco fan this particular song is vivacious and uplifting.It forms a major part of The Story Of The Bee Gees Of which I am fascinated...their early music from psychedelia, through to the 1990s and beyond. Regretfully Barry carries the can in his seventies...but still exudes that same charisma and SOUL.
Your appreciation of music of all genres is so refreshing! I’ve always said, “ my mama raised me right and I raised my kids the same, to appreciate and love all music”! Kudos! And my kids are 30, 26 and 15!! They know all of it from 40’s to current and lots in between!
Hubby and I married in 1974 and we went to college then jobs during Disco. Work all week and danced Friday and Saturday nights! FUN FUN FUN all on one pitcher of beer! We had a blast. Celebrated 46 years of marriage. Each decade is different and so glad to still be Staying Alive.
I'm from the little island of Samoa, but let me tell you something son...these music is still the HIT and the best of all time. We are still listening and dancing with BEE GEES songs. It stays in our hearts it will never die.
Disco was the BEST time! I worked and managed nightclubs in the disco era. It was so much FUN!! I feel sorry for today's youth who didn't have the great times we did! The music was PURE. They had TALENT- and NOT autotune!
Disco was just about any dance music from 75 through early 79. The peak was in 77 thanks to Saturday Night Fever movie and the Bee Gees (primarily) soundtrack. The Bee Gees had a lot of great pop songs and ballads prior to their disco phase.
A misheard lyric story about Jive Talkin' . My little brother was maybe 8 when that came out and we had a neighbor with a toddler whose name was Chad. When my brother heard that for the first time he thought the neighbor Mike (lawyer) was on the radio singing Chad's talking because Chad WAS starting to talk. He would NOT believe it was the Bee Gees
Im 51....i loved it. A kid mostly when it was going strong, but loved it all. The music, dances, clothes, cool roller skates. The loud crazi glamour of it all. Lolz Love my mama so much for putting me & my siblings on to all kinds of music.
Disco defined an era. The clubs were jammin with glitter, flashy clothes, spinning lights and a beat that made you boogie. It was a fun and happy time.
I love these guys so much! They sound great and are hot to look like. Oh to go back to the good old days. I hate being old. And 68 is not young. Disco music is for people who like to dance.❤️🌹❤️
When the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack album was released ,Everybody bought it.12 year olds,their parents and their grandparents too! Every household had at least one copy of that album!
that entire soundtrack album for saturday night fever was the bomb. every track is incredible. my favorite was always "Open Sesame" from kool and the gang
This is the epitome of disco. The Bee Gees are most known for this music. Their music is soo much broader. Saying that, I still enjoyed this music. I've said before and I'll say it again, please don't apologise for loving music in all its wonderful forms.
Did you notice the youngest brother Andy was included on this song. Andy had his own popular solo career until his death. If you say you're into studying these music Eras... look into the "Disco Demolition" that took place in Chicago that brought an end to Disco. The city of Chicago brought an end to Disco dance craze but then create a new dance music craze from the pieces called "House Music".
Yes!! I never realized Andy sang on this song! I remember him from being on an episode of Gimme a Break when he and Nell Carter sang Love Lift Us Up (Where We Belong)
The late 70's, especially in the UK was a fantastic time for music, we had, Disco, Punk, Metal, Rock, Great solo male and female vocalists, Country and pop, it was a Great time to be a teenager or a young adult, I was born in 1960,so have been really lucky to be able to remember and live through 3 fantastic decades from 60's to 80's of some of the Greatest music and performers the World has ever seen, keep up the Great work my friend 👍👍👍
I grew up in the 70s( disco era) It was Awesome!!! The club scene was off the charts. It was all about the women, Dancing, Looking cool, And having fun while doing it all. Don't let me forget to mention that the music was Incredible!!
I LOVE DISCO carefree times when to the club three times a week Monday, night ( gay night) Odell's, Thursday, and FRIDAY no Saturdays untill we turned 21 had to go to church. My GREAT GRANDMOTHER even came with us one night had a great time She was 80 she called Odell's our second home.💖💖💖🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥
Disco and Classic Rock were in the same Era!!!...and Funk and Soul and R and B, too!!...man I miss the 70's!!.....we took for granted just how good the music was!!!..It was the BEST!!!...👍🔥🙂👌😁🕺🕺🕺🕺
Disco has a mix latin flavor with those congas/cow bells, timbales drum, and the falsetto from Barry, incredible. .....I cannot believe its over 40 years.....
Seeing their brother Andy Gibb singing with them on this song makes me sad to think of all the music we missed since he died. RIP Andy, Robin and Maurice Gibb You're so missed
This is the birth of Disco period and just the whole genra period (: And how could anybody hate this (: Its cream too your ears period (: It don't get no better than this (:
I think that some people say they don't like disco because they think that they shouldn't, but they don't really know. I was a teenager in the 70's and LOVE IT! Specially the Bee Gees! Be sure to watch the movie Saturday Night Fever, it's a MUST! For more great disco, please listen to "Last Train to London" or "Shine a Little Love" by ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)
This song is literally disco's soul. It's from the movie Saturday Night Fever and is what John Travolta famously danced to, which are the scenes shown in this video.
That was Gene Siskel's (of Siskel and Ebert) favorite movie of all time. He even bought the white suit in an auction... and I do agree, an incredible movie with so much substance.
George Karagiannis , You are right. It was a great movie for dancers. The BeeGees composed and recorded these songs and didn't know it was this kind of movie. I love all their music! ❤️🌹❤️
Disco music was more than a era IT was a life style. The youth go to the discotheques to performance in dancing and there were competitions and they were fashioned. They dressed that unique way. That era brought the best female voices ever heard. The music was so powerfull and danceable like no other music before and after. The music is really fun, you can't stay still whenever the music plays. Friday nights were for disco music, no doubt about it.
I believe it was the late summer/fall of 1988 when my husband (now ex) worked security at Blossom Music Center in Akron, OH. The Bee Gees were one of the acts booked and on that night I was asked to secure the closed access drive up to the pavilion which the performers used. They each had their own limo and as each stopped at the pavilion, the doors of the limos opened and kids and wives stepped out with their dad/star performer. It was both awesome and touching. I will never stop loving them.
James, don't worry about people that don't like Disco. ! They are just people that can't dance! I can't dance either. But it doesn't stop me from trying. ! Long Live Disco!!
I am liking how you are listening and reacting to Bee Gees music. They truly are an amazing group. Lead singer is the oldest brother BARRY and then the twins Robin and Maurice who unfortunately passed away and in this video youngest brother and solo artist Andy Gibb who was a star in his own right before he passed away. Great musical family
Back in the day it was so happy! We would take these songs and meet somewhere and just dance and have a good time! One at a time we would show how we could dance
