Perhaps not as poignant or dazzling as "How Deep Is Your Love," "More Than a Woman," also from the hugely successful Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, is another example of the their talents. Credited to Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb:
The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack includes two versions of "More Than a Woman" - one by the Bee Gees and the other by Tavares. Both versions are featured in the film as well. Talk about getting lucky! I wonder if Tavares had a percentage of the soundtrack's profits. Probably not, but they do a pretty good version, nonetheless:

Can't go wrong with the Bee Gees.
Do you like the Bee Gees earlier non-disco stuff too? I'm crazy about the "Bee Gees First" album.
Best song ever, and have you noticed it's impossible to walk into a thrift store or diner without hearing it?
"How Deep Is Your Love," that is.
Absolutely, Robert. The backlash from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack was brutal and unfair. But I guess that was the ugly flipside of the phenomenal success - they became the poster children for disco, and met with phenomenal dislike.
Gunnar/Sherry- I do like their late sixties recordings, when they were emulating the Beatles. Those guys were definitely talented songwriters. "New York Mining Disaster" is a classic, despite the grim, unfortunate title...
gentlebear - Yep, I love it too. Come to think of it, I've heard it a lot in Walgreens. Some would say the playing of "mellow" music is a ploy to get shoppers to slow down and SHOP.
