Saturday Night Fever, although hardly as prodigious an artistic achievement as those precursors, was precisely that kind of musical phenomenon for the second half of the '70s ironically, at the time before its release, the disco boom had seemingly run its course, primarily in Europe, and was confined mostly to black culture and the gay underground in America. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album served this purpose for the era of psychedelic music in the 1960s. "Every so often, a piece of music comes along that defines a moment in popular culture history : Johann Strauss' operetta Die Fledermaus did this in Vienna in the 1870s Jerome Kern's Show Boat did it for Broadway musicals of the 1920s and the Beatles' Sgt. They wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. The group sang recognizable three-part tight harmonies Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success : as a rock act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The Bee Gees were a pop music group that was founded in 1958. What remained a constant throughout their history is their extraordinary singing, rooted in three voices that were appealing individually and melded together perfectly. Then, after hitting a popular trough, they reinvented themselves as perhaps the most successful white soul act of all time. Beginning in the mid- to late '60s as a Beatlesque ensemble, they quickly developed as songwriters and singers to create a style of their own that carried them from psychedelia to progressive pop. No popular music act of the '60s, '70s, '80s, or '90s attracted a more varied audience than the Bee Gees. The album has been added to the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress. Saturday Night Fever, starring John Travolta, was the 1977 film that rekindled the disco movement overnight with such Bee Gees tunes as "Stayin' Alive", "More Than A Woman" and "How Deep Is Your Love".
