Ah, the Bee Gees. There was a time when they weren’t always the butt of some joke. Before the sequined jumpsuits, exposed hairy chests, and Saturday Night Fever, they were slated to become the next Beatles. It was a time before the disco era swept their tight harmonies into what many of their fans would feel to be a cheap transition in 1977, churning out dancefloor hits like “Stayin’ Alive” and “More Than a Woman” for the aforementioned John Travolta flick.
