Soo… This song has a funny story…
There was a session set up where the Beatles and the beegees would sing together on some tracks …
The Beatles decided they were WAY too cool for the beegees, so they never showed up…
Now the Beatles producers were there… With the whole Beatles catalog, and they were like… You beegees can sing whatever you want (unprecedented at the time !)
Here’s one of those songs…
I forgot to add… Maurice Gibb does the impeccable voice of Lennon in this song … The other two beegees sing the parts of three of the other Beatles. !
I’m a huge beegees fan…
They are one of the top six selling artists of all time,
There with Elvis, the Beatles, Paul McCartney by himself, michael Jackson and Garth brooks…
But they hold two very serious records …
The most number 1’s (consecutive) in a row (6)
And the band (or solo) that’s spent the most time on the billboards - 45 years !!!
They are the best harmonizers in music history!
Some of the best song writers!
Many consider this German band to be the first synthesized band … But technically , it’s not true !

Just to be factually accurate …
This song was actually written by sting …,
The drama around this song was how long it took sting to begrudgingly admit that she sang it better than him!!! This is Eva Cassidy , she died at. 33 of cancer, never getting a record deal … Thus was recorded from a bar she sang at.
One of the studio heads that refused to sign her (because she wouldn’t sing pop songs like Britney Spears …) came to her death bed and asked her to forgive him!
Here’s a couple more songs from the bar with Eva …

I have to correct myself… I was doing some searching and found out that as of 2015…
Michael Jackson holds the record for the longest time on the billboard charts…
Though granted, the beegees were still alive for their record …
I should add these songs…

And, of course, no music list is complete without these two albums…

And this song…
I think I posted this song in a thread here about a year ago, but it’s worth reposting…
