With the blessing of @FourWalls I am going to present groups of 10 hits of several artists. I know that my choices will greatly differ from her past picks because we have totally different music preferences.
The hits will be presented in no particular order -- I like all of them pretty much equally. By the way, it was difficult to pick just ten...they're all so good.
For more information about the Bee Gees, search "Bee Gees" to get some of my past Discussions. So let's get started:
"The Nights on Broadway" was written in 1975 by brothers Barry, Maurice and Robin. The song is about trying to find love in a crazy town and is a mixture of disco and soul. It reached #7 in the United States. Barry was asked by producer Arif Martin if he could "scream in tune?" Turns out he could; and this falsetto singing became a trademark of the group.
The song was originally titled "Lights on Broadway"; but Martin wanted to "adult it up"; and it was renamed "Nights on Broadway".
"Singin' them love songs, Singin' them straight to the heart songs."
Hope you enjoy the song:

Yeah, I noticed that we actually had some in common with the list I made. Bound to happen even though our music tastes are so far apart! :-)

Yes. The falsetto singing was met with a very positive response.

Great song. Love his falsetto. Was this song in the Saturday Night Fever movie or am I mistaken?

Yes. Their music is timeless; and they wrote more than 1,000 songs, including some for other artists such as Celine Dion.
