    The Gibb brothers (Barry, Robin, Maurice, and Andy) ruled Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart in 1978, and I still love their incredible songs!

      I know, everytime I ever still hear one of their songs it gives me a feeling of joy, memories and just makes me feel like I like everybody, ya know? lol. Andy was solo and killed in a plane crash, I think that's right. Very talented brothers.

      Andy died of a drugrelated heartatack. Loved the BeeGees until the SNF album. When Robin didn´t sing the leedsong anymore, I stopped listening to them. Just hated Barrys´falsetto, and still do. Robins voice was devine!

      This was a time before record executives started telling bands what to record. Back then, musicians had the chance to develop their sound, and grow into what they would be known for. If these same people were recording today, they wouldn't have gotten past the 2nd CD/album, before they were kicked to the curb...
      Beginning with the 90's, everyone had to either conform to what was "in", break up, or get dropped from their long time labels'...

      iSo, did I, I had Pneumonia twice and had to spend my first and second birthday in the hospital, whereby I kicked a nurse as my parents were forced to abandon me. (I was born in the golden American year of Bye, Bye, Canadian Pie, I drove my GMC Product into the wilderness and kissed it goodbye, as Quebec had its Quiet Revolution and decided to try to take over Montreal, the largest French (and English, Spanish, etc.) speaking city in the world, next to Paris. And twas where the Esteemed Commie lover, Nixon-hater, beautiful bi-sexual, most Popular, Ladies man Prime Minister, with a crazy pantyless and Rolling Stones groupie of a sexy Vancouver debutante of a wife Christine Sinclair Trudeau, had a baby, they named, Justin who later became a drama teacher, amateur boxer, Quebec and British Columbia loving, Alberta-hating, burning hunk and G.Q Celebrity Model, our so-called country (not a American or French or Scottish and English Colony?) and future nemesis of Don, the Greatest Man Alive, German and Scottish American Trump, future corrupt, sneaky, and non-transparent, babe-loving Prime Minister of America's Northern most Colony. A man that gets no Respect from China or the U.S.A. despite our nice manners and acceptance of Partisan Non-Free Trade agreements with both Superpowers and their draconian, Fascist, Right-Wing, Wall-Mart - child slavery in foreign countries (and Canada is a disgrace and a liar about this non-important issue because Wall-Mart has more Power Economically, than each of these Governments put together, in my point of View) Great Presidents of nations with a one-party system or a two-party taxpayer's funded Democrat or Republican only Party System of a decadent and stale, unless you are a millionaire in both countries, so-labeled Socialist Left-Wing Democracy and Autocracy or Dictatorship of the Proletariat (which means Ultra-Wealthy and Elite only Society) in which the Common people or so-called and media-labeled "working" class has no power or say, or even a human right, to influence the outcome of a Rigged election, whereby two international law-breakers and heartless dictators become the self-appointed, by virtue of a one Political Party State- China! and a Two-Party Corporate Political Party Rebel Conservative-minded and Non-Liberal Republic-the Greater United States of North America (remember Manifest Destiny?!), Rulers or Emperors (like Japan once had and still does!) of each of their Heartless and Emotionally Cold, respective great nations. Wow! The '70s was a blast, wasn't it? Compared to this New Age.

    I was 17, getting ready to graduate high school (Class of '78) and then leave for Air Force base training in San Antonio, TX six weeks afterwards when Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" hit the radio airwaves. Forty-one years later, it still gives me chills and takes me back to that time whenever I hear the song. It will always remain near the top on my all-time favorite playlist. May his soul rest in eternal peace...

I was married that year, too. Whenever I hear these songs I think of that time-listening to the radio at work and home. The PX was always crowded with soldiers and sailors buying the latest albums. Unless we bought the albums or saw photos in a magazine, we had no idea what the artists looked like because there was no American TV-which is why we listened to so much music! The Bee Gees and Andy Gibb really ruled the charts that year and I still love all their music.

It broke my heart later when Andy Gibb died so young from drugs, then 2 of his other brothers died years later.

    ALSO.... 1978 was sadly, the last full year that the Pike was open in Long Beach CA! I spent a lot of time there, enjoying what was left! 😎👍
    1978 was also the 1st time I ever smoked weed! I miss those days! I haven't been able to get high since 1992 because of work, but one day...... 💨
    (Fir the record, I was in the Navy 81-92, and took a chance now and Zen, and got away with it! 😎)

    I enjoyed the video. There was much good music during that era. Good music is one of the things that help me to get through life in this crazy world in which we live.

    These are the songs I remember from my childhood. Saturday Night Fever is my all time favorite movie!

    Indeed, my memories of 1978-79 are marked with Bee Gees music.

    Bee Gees even after all this success they are still the most underrated band in history

      You got that right, that's what music is supposed to be all about, to move a person, feel your emotions, and that's exactly what their music does, even still forty years later...terribly under rated!

      I can live with that. The Bee Gees were great together and could harmonize so very well.

    I was a jr. in H. S. in 1978 and the music was probably the best part of my teenage years.
