Jeff Apter charts TRAGEDY: THE SAD BALLAD OF THE GIBB BROTHERS

(Echo): “... As cheesy as disco now looks in pop culture’s rearview mirror, Saturday Night Fever was a platinum-plated phenomenon, powered by the brothers’ music. The Bee Gees stuttered ‘ you shhhhhould be dancing’ and it seemed that the western world took them up on the suggestion. Wherever you looked, flares billowed and body shirts were worn open to the waist, revealing more gold than Fort Knox. Cleavage and heels ruled, hair was primped and permed. Discos popped up on every street corner from New York to Newcastle, London to Lisbon.”
