Bee Gees - Night Fever

The undeniable sound of the 1970s is disco and one band's face comes to mind. The Bee Gees.

The Bee Gees formed in 1958 by brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. Even though they started in the 50s, they are best known for the disco sounds of the mid to late 1970s.

The Bee Gees had nine Billboard Hot 100 #1 hits throughout the decade, and their most widely known hit is probably "Stayin' Alive," which did chart at #1 for 4-weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, but their hit "Night Fever" stayed in the Billboard Hot 100 #1 spot for 8-weeks, making it their longest chart-topping hit of their career.

In 1977 the movie "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta was released, with the soundtrack having the Bee Gees biggest hits. This was the turning point in the Bee Gees career exploding them into success.

Saturday Night Fever is in the top five best-selling albums to date, selling over 40 million copies worldwide.

"Night Fever" was released as a single from the soundtrack in 1978.
