That is still an example of how the falsetto can enrich the song and harmonise.

The falsetto is not ...Indeed, NOB is a great song. The falsetto is not turned into a wall of whine (yet), it plays off the melodies and harmonies which are actually well song in classic Gibb style. I like the transitions from that minor key verse to the major chorus. Jive Talkin' is fun enough that I can dig it in all it's ARP-driven glory. These two songs represent the furthest I can go into the BG disco pool without crouching beneath the waves in shame.JimmADerbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13331334978761537408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-11639666746940292522013-04-18T06:25:40.219+04:002013-04-18T06:25:40.219+04:00For those of you keeping score, "Main Course&...For those of you keeping score, "Main Course" marks the first appearance of the world famous Bee Gees "Neon Knights Of Studio 54" logo.

Of..."But do not blame it on the Bee Gees"<br />Of course I blame the Bee Gees as well. It's not as if those disco suckers put a gun against their heads.<br />Still this is not the album I hate the Bee Gees for. For one thing I do not hate falsetto's a priori. Nights on Broadway was a hit in The Netherlands. It has a recognizable theme (I associate riff with guitar), a rhythmical pattern that distuingishes itself. The synths are no way as offensive as say the processed violins on Bobby Bland's Ain't no Heart.<br />Jive Talkin' did not sell well in The Netherlands, so I have always associated it with SNF. As hate is a precious emotion I am economical with it. So have a little more patience before I start bashing the Bee Gees.MNbnoreply@blogger.com
