The Bee Gees: Saturday Night Fever
built 624 days ago
In 1978, with Saturday Night Fever still high on the charts, the Bee Gees started Music for UNICEF, donating the royalties from a new song and recruiting other hitmakers to do the same. They ... appeared in Stigwood’s movie fiasco Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and continued to record. After Saturday Night Fever, even the platinum Spirits Having Flown (#1, 1979) with three #1 hits - “Too Much Heaven,” “Tragedy,” and “Love You Inside Out” - seemed anticlimactic. As of 1979, the Bee Gees had made five platinum albums and more than 20 hit singles.

With worldwide sales well in excess of 100 million albums, the Bee Gees are not just the only artists to have scored #1 hits in each decade from the '60s to the '90s, but the most successful trio in history. Saturday Night Fever remains the world's best-selling soundtrack and the template for song-driven film soundtracks to this day.

Robert Stigwood, who produced Saturday Night Fever, is the one who asked The Bee Gees to write music for the film. Stigwood got the idea for the film from a New York Magazine article about the Brooklyn club scene. This may explain the rather random line in the song, "We can try to understand the New York Times' effect on man."
