In April 1977 The Bee Gees went to the Chateau D’Herouville in the north of France to mix their live album “Here At Last…Bee Gees…Live”. And begin work on a new album. The Chateau recording studio, a cold, depressing place in the middle of nowhere.  Is where the brothers were working when Robert Stigwood called. He was making a film called “Tribal Rites Of The New Saturday Night”. And needed music for the film. Rober took the songs the brothers were working on. The movies title was changed to “Saturday Night Fever”. And the soundtrack for the movie became the Bee Gees new album.

Robin, Maurice and Barry wrote “If I Can’t Have You” (Which would be give to Yvonne Elliman for the movie and soundtrack). “How Deep Is Your Love” (The first single from the soundtrack. The B side would be”Can’t Keep A Good Man Down” from the Bee Gees Live album), “Stayin Alive” (Second single. The B side was the Bee Gees version of “If I Can’t Have You”), “Night Fever” (Third single) and “More Than A Woman” (B side to “Night Fever”). All three singles hit #1 in the US.

During ‘77 Robin and Barry also wrote “Emotion”. Which Samantha Sang released and brought to #3 on the US charts. And Robin, Marice and Barry wrote “Warm Ride”. Which would appear on Andy Gibb’s third album, “After Dark”.
