This was their very first #1 song in the US way back in 1971 when the brothers got back together after a short breakup in 1969. ❤So listen to the words and you could almost feel they were talking about themselves mending the broken heart between the brothers.
A lot of people think that the legendary R&B artist Al Green wrote this song, but no, this is a Bee Gees song. Still Al's cover of the song, which was a huge hit, still sounds fabulous.
Yes, Al’s cover is fabulous and the Bee Gees approved of it too. This song at last by Etta James is a cover of a song from the 1940s. It was a song in a movie. The Etta James version is so different from the original. I think this song is perfect for Al greens singing style. Several years ago, I was listening to a particular song and heard different versions of it, and I loved every version of it. Sometimes there is no one version better than other version. They all sound good.
