These goofy ahh niggas were unironically geniuses. The melodies and arrangement were on another level.

Spirits Having Flown [RSO, 1979]
I must say I admire the perverse riskiness of this music, neglecting disco bounce in favor of demented falsetto abstractions--less love-man than newborn kitten. And I also admit that I'm genuinely fond of the many small moments of madness within, such as how the three multitracked voices echo the phrase "living together." But obsessive ornamentation can't transform a curiosity into inhabitable music and there is not one song on here that matches any on the first side of Saturday Night Fever. C+

The Bee Gees (at least the 75-79 era Bee Gees) had a sizable black following.

I have to wonder if it was an intentional decision. If we're being entirely honest MJ's falsetto was also kind of goofy. Countertenors are as good as it gets.

They're not half as painful as the Four Seasons or Lou Christie.

the bee gee were incredible falsetto singers with an impeccable ability to blend their voices and hit pitches dead on.

Dumb Xgau. The title track is one of their best songs ever.

Spirits Having Flown is a literal perfect album. The only thing that gets in the way is "I'm Satisfied" ruining the momentum on the B side.
Stop (Think Again) is one of the best Bee Gees song and nobody even knows about it.

I understand that /mu/ is full of retards who are always wrong. But this is on another level. The greatest falsetto singers of all time were BAD at falsetto? Once again the users of /mu/ show how truly uneducated and painfully uncultured they are.

>Hmmm, I know nothing about this topic. Should I keep my mouth shut?

>Hell no, I should talk a huge pile of steaming shit and totally embarrass myself!

I hereby award this anon the "biggest retard on /mu/" award, and that's up against some very stiff competition.

They were very well known in the late-60s and had a string of hits. They weren't the only musicians to take advantage of disco ... Frankie Valli and Leo Sayer and several older R&B groups took full advantage of it. Even the Rolling Stones gave it a shot for a minute.

The most popular BeeGees song ever is still "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", which was covered by Al Green and many others.

You just randomly reminded me that the opening song from the Grease movie, written by Barry Gibbs and sung by Frankie Valli, is one of my favorite songs ever that I never think about listening to. Thanks!
