The Bee Gees in the 1970s is the follow-up to the 1960s book that was published in 2021. The three music writers of Andrew Mon Hughes, Grant Walters, and Mark Crohan write about all the songs the band recorded throughout the 70s. At the beginning of the book we are greeted with the fact that the brothers were completely broken at the beginning of the decade, each working on separate projects.
But by 1979 they were the biggest band in the world with smash hits that would eventually lead to Bee Gees overload. The band got their groove back while working with producer Arif Mardin on songs such as “Jive Talking” and “Nights on Broadway”. Eventually the brothers would contribute greatly to the Saturday Night Fever OST that saw them hit the stratosphere of fame and fortune. The 1970s edition of the series is a well-researched book that will have the reader regularly searching for songs on Youtube and Spotify.
