The Bee Gees ~ Tragedy 1979 Disco Purrfection Version

The Bee Gees were on an incredible hot streak they had not seen even during their first musical career in the 60's. Riding the disco wave, their chart accomplishments were as follows: "Tragedy" was their 8th #1 pop single, their 6th consecutive release to reach #1 and was the second single to reach #1 off the same album (the follow up, Love You Inside Out was their 9th #1 and third single off the same album). The group became a flashpoint for the anti disco movement which was gathering steam and about ready to boil over at that fateful night on July 12, 1979 at Comiskey Park in Chicago. Needless to say, their popularity as artists plummeted, but their production skills kept them in the public eye with Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwicke, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. They never hit #1 again but came close with 1989's "One" which peaked at #7. On a sadder note, Maurice Gibb was admitted to the hospital January 8, 2003 with a blocked intestine, suffered a cardiac arrest and died on January 12. He and his brothers will be remembered for their astounding contributions to pop music and for fuelling the disco machine which would have not been as strong without them.
