Given Barry’s loss as well, the moment between him and Celine as they embrace at the end of the song is entirely sincere just as it’s entirely gripping for everyone watching.Īs for Keith Urban, as an Aussie with a winning smile and a knack for a good melody who cracked the big time in the States, there’s a certain synergy between him and the Gibbs. Even more-so when you see her navigate the steps of the stage despite her heels and dress in order to walk down towards Barry and somehow not miss a note. “We don’t say goodbye,” is the key repeated line in Immortality and knowing Celine Dion is singing this against the backdrop of recently losing both her husband and brother made it especially poignant. As such it meant Celine Dion could perform the late 90s power ballad Immortality the brothers wrote for her and Keith Urban could likewise nail To Love Somebody from 1967. With the sole surviving Bee Gee Barry Gibb in the front row (and surrounded by family), all the performers were singing in the direct presence of the songwriting genius who created – along with his brothers – so many of pop’s most beloved songs.Īnd while the record breaking success of Fever was the catalyst for the show, it was great that this tribute concert honoured the entire Gibb career and wasn’t just limited to that soundtrack. Those last two stood out for me in particular. Performers included Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Ed Sheeran, Demi Lovato, Andra Day, Nick Jonas, Celine Dion and Keith Urban. Taped in February, this was a full-length concert dripping with A-list talent.

Saturday Night Fever is 40 and to celebrate a landmark that sold as many millions as it’s had years, last night a TV special called “Stayin’ Alive: A Grammy Salute To The Music Of The Bee Gees” was broadcast. Each of the songs is louder than the original versions and packs a heavier beat.2017 marks 40 years since the release of a soundtrack of such cultural and commercial impact that not only did it become for a time the biggest selling album ever, but people as varied as Dave Grohl, Burt Bacharach and George Benson still hail it as being about as good as pop music gets. Serban has taken on Stayin’ Alive, Night Fever, How Deep is Your Love and You Should Be Dancing.
The anniversary edition of the soundtrack features a second disc with four remixes by Serban Ghenea. Composter Walter Murphy famously reworked Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony into disco jam A Fifth of Beethoven. Other artists that appear on the soundtrack include The Trammps (Disco Inferno) KC & The Sunshine Band (Boogie Shoes) and David Shire who provides several instrumental moments. Two versions of More Than a Woman appear on the soundtrack – the original Bee Gees version and a slightly groovier version by Tavares. Night Fever puts the Bee Gees’ high-pitched vocals at the fore and it’s such a damn catchy song it’s impossible not to bop away the minute it comes on. How Deep is Your Love, which was re-popularised when Take That covered it in the 90s, is one of the only downtempo moments on the soundtrack and it breezes by delightfully giving you a short respite from the uptempo pace of the other songs.
It’s testament to the quality of these songs that they are still regularly played 40 years on. From the disco shuffle of Stayin’ Alive through to the disco classic If I Can’t Have You, which was written by the trio but performed by Yvonne Elliman, they really captured a moment in music.
The soundtrack is dominated by songs from the Bee Gees, and it features their best-known songs. It’s that rare soundtrack where it’s all killer, no filler. I’m pretty sure everyone in the world has, or has heard, the soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever. To celebrate the anniversary of the film and the soundtrack, an expanded and remastered version of the soundtrack has been released. In the US alone it has sold more than 16 million copies and in the UK it stayed at number 1 for 18 consecutive weeks after its release. The film was a huge success at the global box office and its soundtrack is one of the best-selling soundtracks of all time.
