5. To Love Somebody
The earliest song on this entire list and originally written by Robin Gibb for Otis Redding who sadly died before he had the chance to record it, "To Love Somebody" unthinkably only charted at number 41 when it was released in 1967, but has since been covered by a huge amount of recording artists including Tom Jones, Gram Parsons and Simply Red. http://youtu.be/PQUVSOuLmyo 4. Stayin' Alive
Ask any music fan to name five Bee Gees songs, and chances are this signature tune from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack will feature in most of the responses. That is chiefly thanks to the simple but irresistible hook, the brothers' falsetto "Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha...." one of the least complex, but brilliantly repeatable refrains from the whole discography. http://youtu.be/I_izvAbhExY 3. Jive Talkin'
Easily the coolest Bee Gees song ever released, and a comeback song of sorts after a four year absence from the US chart - Jive Talkin' is certainly the funkiest track released by the group during the 70s thanks to Maurice's bassline and a more restrained vocal than usual. http://youtu.be/XBw25CrUS-o 2. Night Fever
The song which influenced producer Robert Stigwood to change the title of his disco film Saturday Night, "Night Fever" is almost beyond famous thanks to its inclusion alongside the brilliant opening sequence of that John Travolta film. It is arguably the finest disco tune ever to come out of Britain, or at least second on that list... http://youtu.be/-ihs-vT9T3Q 1. You Should Be Dancing
The third song from Saturday Night Fever, and also collected as part of the Children of the World album, "You Should Be Dancing" wins this particular little competition thanks to its infectious beat, and a disco hook that would later be recycled as one of the most popular songs of the Balearic dance scene when it was sampled by Blockster in 1999. Almost a perfect disco song, and the tune chosen to showcase John Travolta's dancing skills in Saturday Night Fever, "You Should Be Dancing" defined the Disco generation. http://youtu.be/8RnWA9x4GIA RIP Robin Gibb. A brilliant talent lost.
