Bee Gees : Night Fever
On February 25, 1978 Barry Gibb had a very good week. His band, The Bee Gees, has the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, "Stayin' Alive". Their last #1 hit, "How Deep Is Your Love" was still in the Top 10. Their next #1 hit, "Night Fever", was already at #8. The song Barry had written with his younger brother, Andy Gibb, "(Love is) Thicker Than Water" was one week away from hitting #1. And the song he and brother Robin Gibb had written for Samantha Sang and for which he provided backing vocals,"Emotion", was climbing the charts at #5 on its way to peaking at #3. The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack was on top of the U.S. album charts from January through July.
And Barry wasn't done. By the end of the summer Frankie Valli would take the Gibb-written "Grease" to #1 as well.
