Comment:

Bee Gees’ songbook overflows with tunes so exquisitely crafted they sound [i]just right[/i] in the hands of your favorite artist. As strings swoop and horns swing, Yvonne Elliman glides across the slickly polished surface of the disco ultimatum “If I Can’t Have You” with the chic grace of a ballroom ballerina. Like the preacher he became, Al Green builds “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?” like a sermon, luring you in with a whisper-quiet intro before delivering the emotional body blow of [i]“How can a loser ever win?”[/i] as his all-girl gospel backup singers plead with the congregation to [i]help the man[/i] rebuild his shattered dream. And Janis Joplin’s bourbon-and-bleach vocal transforms “To Love Somebody” from a simple declaration of love to an open-wound confession of her all-consuming obsession. Is it any wonder that artists from Roy Orbison to Olivia Newton-John all wanted a slice of Bee Gees magic?
