Free Music Notes for Saturday Night Fever: The Original Movie Sound Track
Free Music Review: Great Songs For Trip Down Memory Lane
Hit: 5 Stars
In the days before home video, the only way to relive "Saturday Night Fever" was through this best-selling album, one of the best sellers of all-time. While it's the safe bet to assume the album is heavy on "disco" music, some of the Bee Gees classic songs on this beautiful work of art are like the touching "How Deep is Your Love" and "More Than a Woman." But with them also come the swift, fast-moving, multi-textured disco music that helped Tony Manero become king of the dance club in the film.It's hard to listen to this soundtrack without being taken back in time to 1977/78, because this album was omniprescent then. Each of the songs released as singles either topped the Billboard charts, or came close to it. The Bee Gees reined supreme during this era, and this music explains why. You'll also enjoy the songs from other artists if you enjoy the music of the late '70s, which is full of energy and vigor. The instrumentals on this album more than prove that point. How can you listen to "Manhattan Skyline" and not tap your feet? It's impossible.
Bottom line: if you were around in 1978, relive your younger days. If you weren't around then, here's your chance to see why this album was the best selling album in history up until "Thriller." It's a keeper!
Free Music Review: How Deep Is Your Love?
Hit: 5 Stars
The "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack from 1977 was the most significant album of the 1970s! What this album accomplished was to bring disco music into mainstream pop and let the whole world know that this music is here to stay! Technically, to this day, it is STILL here, but not in name. From house to techno and from trance to rave (among other disco ancestry forms), the beat is alive throughout the world.
The songs "Stayin' Alive", "Night Fever", and "More Than A Woman" are among the Bee Gees' best at the time of their late 70s comeback. I've always liked "How Deep Is Your Love?", the love ballad of the album (I wouldn't call this a disco song) and can sing this to your lover. "If I Can't Have You" and "More Than A Woman" (The Tavares) are other songs I like to listen. The instrumentals "The Fifth Of Beethoven", "K-Jee", and "Manhattan Skyline" are enjoyable to listen and explore the different sides of disco (such as Latin and New York rhythms that you would not hear too often in many disco songs).
In addition to these great songs, if you buy the remastered version from 1995, it will contain liner notes and several pictures from the movie. Overall, this is an excellent collection to own, making "Saturday Night Fever" one of the most memorable albums of the 1970s! Highly Essential!

From the opening notes of "Staying Alive" to the final fade of "Disco Inferno" it was quite clear even back in late 1977 when this album was released that this was more that just an ordinary movie soundtrack. It's no suprise that Saturday Night Fever became the pop culture phenomenon it became, because the music is so strong. Of course the Bee Gees contributions("Stayin' Alive", "How Deep Is Your Love", "Night Fever", "More Than A Woman", "Jive Talkin'", and "You Should Be Dancing") still sound as brilliant today as they did then, as well as the cuts by Yvonne Elliman, Tavares, The Trammps, Kool & The Gang, and K.C. & The Sunshine Band. The thing I love most about this album is that it has far outlasted the critics that said it was trite and lacking of substance. I can remember seeing Alice Cooper on a program recently saying that at the time the album was huge how much he hated disco in public but then admitting privately that he thought "Saturday Night Fever" was one of the greatest records of all time. In the context of a lot of the music that's happening right now, this album has more than stood the test of time and will for many years to come. Still one of my all time faves!!!Free Music Review: I admit it.I Still Love This Record
Hit: 5 Stars
This was a great time in everyone's life who lived through the Disco area. Not to many people want to admit it,but I love this album. I remember seeing John Lennon interveiwed,and he said he loved Disco."How deep is your love," is one of my favorite songs ever.Its a masterpiece.There still playing "Staying Alive," on WOMP,a local radio station in my home town, ever day at 5 in the afternoon. Another one of my favorite cuts from the record is "Disco Inferno," by the Trammps. I would love to see this song re-made by the BackStreetBoys,or any of the other boy groups out today.It would be a huge hit.I still have to laugh when I hear,"More than a Women." My cousin thought they were saying,"Bald headed Women." Also, I always wondered what happened to Yvonne Elliman."If I can't have you," was another hit from the soundtrack,and fantastic.What a great singer.I never did hear anything again from this artist. After years of being made fun of,the BeeGees are finally getting the respect they deserve. They are in a class of there own. This is one of the greatest soundtracks ever made.Free Music Review: Too Baaad!

As a kid growing up, I realized there was this cult thing about Saturday Night Fever. Everyone else had seen the movie except me. I never did know that all those great songs like "Staying Alive", "If I can't have you", "How deep is your love", et al, where from the soundtrack album. I finally got to see the movie this year- more than 20yrs later, and now I own it! I think this soundtrack would still have sold mega platinum had it been released this year instead of then. It's just so timeless. Though all the songs on the album are nice...I think the songs by the Bee Gees take the cake. I can spend an entire day listening to "More than a woman"- which happens to be my personal best of the collection. Even my kid brother who wasn't born in 1977 just goes gaga when listening to "Night Fever". Jams from "Kool and The Gang", "David Shire", "K.C and the sunshine"... are also class acts in their own right.
You just have to be the 25th millionth and one person to own this wonderful collection of timeless Disco hits.
