I know a lot about the Bee Gees and even saw the live in 1979 but I have never heard "Charade!" There are some great moments in this song but I can hear how it wouldn't have been a hit back in the day.
I feel like maybe it could have hit on the heels of "Jive Talking" but it didn't have the right sound to be the comeback that single was for them. "Jive Talking" was lightning in a bottle.
Their story remains an incredible one. They've been the doing the "from zero to hero thing and back again" a few times during their career. What surprises me is the energy they had to start again. I started reading their most recent bio this week. Anyway great piece ME.

Thanks PeDupre! Yeah...they had at least one comeback per decade.
I'd never heard "Wouldn't I Be Someone". Wow that was bleak! And for the BeeGees, no less.
Yeah, the stuff the Gibbs did right before hooking up with Arif Mardin just about sunk them.
