I too really liked their early stuff. This song is probably the last of theirs I liked

My eldest brother had their 60s music and this was a sort of come-back single, when I started buying records myself. Its success got overshadowed by Saturday Night Fever, later on (like everything else), but I found it fantastic, at the time.

They did the sound track for one movie and really all the songs from that were just barely disco. They were a far cry from K. C. and the Sunshine Band and their ilk. If the rest of the material in the genre had had that much effort put into it we probably wouldn't give the scorn we do. If you need a villain it should be Travolta or the producer or K. C. but not the Bee Gees.
I certainly don't blame the Bee Gees for disco. It was just a period in their evolution.
There are pearls in all genres. But as a whole disco just didn't do it for me.
Lament disco all you want, Saturday Night Fever is one of the greatest top to bottom albums ever released no matter what criteria you use, production, musicality, creativity and yes commercial success. And of course they did so much more before and after. RIP Robin.

That big C is a slow death that love ones watch, in most case, a person dissolve in front of their face.
Loved their early stuff like Lonely Days, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, and of course Massachusetts.
To Robin.

I don't blame the Bee Gees for disco, I just never cared much for that genre in general though there have been a couple exceptions.
