Comment:

The great thing about classic love songs is their ability to soundtrack every scene in the grand drama of the heart. And when it comes to drama, the Bee Gees add an almost Shakespearean heft to the hurt of unrequited love with the bittersweet burn of "To Love Somebody." On the other side of love's constantly spinning coin, there's an otherworldly air to the way the Drifters stop time to savor the sweet reverie of romance on "This Magic Moment." And then its time to drift dreamily away with the warm whisper of reassurance that comforts a questioning lover when "Never My Love" comes floating in on a cloud of the Association's lighter-than-air harmonies.
