Release: 1975
Release: 1975Source checked | Recent carryover
V3.6 reconciles the original release year with the reviewed Artist Essentials entry for this exact retained recording ID. Year precision is used; an album-first release is not silently replaced by a later single, reissue or annual-list year. Original 1975 recording on Main Course. Year precision is retained; the album association is not an assertion of an exact first-release day. The retained annual appearance is later than this supported original album year.
The large badge identifies this listening list, not a newly issued recording. Later reissues and renewed chart popularity do not replace an original release date. How years are assigned.

The historical year labels for the first eighteen listed songs run from Spicks and Specks 1966 to Too Much Heaven 1978. These original years are used, not the 2017 compilation date. The source establishes Massachusetts in 1967, Words in 1968 and all four new Saturday Night Fever songs in 1977.
About Bee Gees
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
The Bee Gees centered on brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, whose shared work included songwriting, production and distinctive vocal harmonies. Their 1960s records combined compact pop songs with increasingly elaborate orchestration. Main Course and Children of the World placed a stronger emphasis on rhythm and high-register vocals, followed by the new songs on Saturday Night Fever. Their group catalog continued with albums including E.S.P., One and Still Waters. The brothers' solo recordings and songs recorded by other artists have separate performing credits.
