A Certain Kind of Light: A Tribute to the Bee Gees

   For the longest time, I thought that the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack represented a major comeback for the Bee Gees after numerous years without any major hits.  And yes, I watched the documentary about them several years ago, and I coulda sworn that this was also the message in the documentary.  But really, it was only two albums in the early 70's that didn't do well and then in 1975, two years before Saturday Night Fever, they released Main Course, which featured Nights on Broadway and Jive Talking.  I also learned on Allmusic.com today that they wrote To Love Somebody for Otis Redding, which made me a little sad because I think he would have absolutely nailed that one.  Not that Nina Simone didn't, but that really was a song tailor made for Otis.  Sigh.  Anyway, hope folks enjoy the collection.
