When I was in high school The Bee Gees had become something of a comic reminder of the excesses or silliness of the 70s along with mood rings, bell bottoms, pet rocks, avocado colored appliances, eight tracks, Muskrat Love, The Gong Show and that shag carpeting you had to rake. I wouldn't discover that they had a whole career before becoming the Kings of Disco until much later. While disco will never be my favorite genre, today I must admit that their disco songs are catchy and the Brothers Gibb could write a hit. (I do prefer their previous work if nothing else for its sheer weirdness.)
There are other artists on the album, including KC and the Sunshine Band, Kool and the Gang and the Trampps and several others who sing Bee Gee's compositions. There are some really bad ideas on the album like disco versions of Night on Bald Mountain and Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and some of the instrumentals go on wa-a-ay too long (especially Calypso Breakdown.) Still I think it's a good album overall.
Believe it or not this was one of the key albums in my embryonic music development. I would not have been listening to 60 minute Mike Oldfield compositions, if, as a 12 year old I hadn't been hooked on this album. It was my gateway drug into music, and I've never looked back. Yi talked about Yvonee Ellimon; i loved her "if I can't have you" as well as "I don't know how to love him" off the Jesus Christ Superstar album, which, along with Evita, was another inspirational album that got me into longer conceptual works later on like The Wall.
Quote from: bogh on Today at 06:01:46 AMI find the discussion on whether she was complying, whether she was a protestor, what went before etc to be fairly pointless.
None of that should carry the penalty of point blank execution. Whether it's legal or not, it's clearly disproportionate, amoral, incompetent and so very unnecessary. Nothing necessitates this, nothing is achieved by it, except human tragedy.

Quote"Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela. In return, Cuba provided 'Security Services' for the last two Venezuelan dictators, BUT NOT ANYMORE!" Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday.
"THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA - ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE."
