I get people my age, (teenagers in the '70s), not liking disco because we were listening to Led Zeppelin or Lynyrd Skinnard at the time but the Bee Gees were stupendously talented and they could sing like the birds in the trees. Their stuff holds up
extremely well.
One of my friends was a young guy working for Robert Stigwood in the '70s and he got a producer credit on Saturday Night Fever. It was the start of an incredibly successful life for him, talk about being in the right place at the right time. Certain people just manage to make that happen, though.
The group wrote all of the songs for SNF incredibly fast, in a matter of days. Some in a matter of hours. Their career was in the crapper at the time and to say that they hit that one out of the park would be one of the understatements of the century. And the 20th was a hell of a century.
