The Essential Bee Gees Playlist
Of course, there are certain songs that you can’t skip when on a Bee Gees kick. “Stayin’ Alive” is the quintessential song from the band, bringing the ultimate disco anthem and reminding everyone of Saturday Night Fever starring John Travolta. This is one of those songs that is guaranteed to get everyone on the dance floor, bringing a fun bassline while also offering a powerful message within the lyrics.
By the way, did you know the name of the track was actually the name of the sequel to Saturday Night Fever? Yes, there was a sequel, and yes, you need to watch it—just to see why it’s been forgotten!
Another staple of the ‘70s dance floors was “Night Fever.” It defined the sound of the latter part of the decade, making it clear that anyone who was anyone would have it on in their house or their car.
If you need to slow it down, then you’ll want to turn your attention to “How Deep Is Your Love.” With all the fun disco beats, it’s easy to forget that the Bee Gees had some of the best love songs, and this lush ballad is a favorite among the fans. Not only does it give us the softer sound, but it also gives us a real chance to see the vocal ranges of the brothers.
It’s easy to overlook “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?” considering so many others made it into big movies or have long been played over and over again on the radio, but this is one that stands out for a great reason. It was the first-ever No. 1 hit in the United States for the Bee Gees. Make sure you listen deeply to the lyrics, as they tell a fragile and emotional story.
