They were one of my favorites growing up -- I loved Saturday Night Fever (although most of it was over my head at the time - watching as an adult, I was like "my mom and dad let me watch that!!")

Andy Gibb and I shared a birth date (not year)It was sad when he threw his life away and passed away as well....

I was shocked when I heard the news that Maurice had died. I used to hang out at the disco's when Saturday Night Fever was popular and it brings back alot of old memories. Good memories. I had the shoes with those huge heels (can't remember what we called them)they were so high I fell off of them once and sprainged my angle! lol I also had a scarf, leisure suits and the whole disco wardrobe. What memories!

Platform Heels? LOL Lord knows I had tons of em! This is sad - they had some great songs for that period of time.

I just returned today from Florida. It was a strange coincidence that I happened to be visiting in one of the magnificent apartment buildings across the street from the funeral home where Maurice Gibb was. I watched it all from the window. Michael Jackson is a true freak.

Also, I loved the Bee Gees - but loved their music way before the disco stuff. I loved their original stuff. Wow, the song "To Love Somebody" is just beautiful. I am sad that I will never see them in concert.

Ginger, did you happen to have a camera with you with a telephoto lens? You could have taken pictures of Michael Jackson without his nose!!

Ginger, I agree their pre disco music was great. I remember thinkng how sad the song 'I just got to get a message to you' was. It was about a guy about to be executed, who desperately wanted to get a message to the one he loved before he died.

OMG, I listen to "In The Morning" over and over and over and over and ....

As a matter of fact, this song is to be played at my funeral.
