This was rejected by Barbara Streisand and picked, then given to Olivia Newton-John. It was planned as a fourth single from the album "Physical" but when her third single "Landslide" did poorly, they cancelled it. I do like ONJ's version as well. Her version is slower. It would be nice to have the speed of Gibb's version with her vocals. ONJ's slower version makes the song much sadder
@markxxx21 I think Olivia's version is more delicate and somehow more touching. I always felt she needed a ballad as a single from her Physical album. She didn't have a ballad single from 1981 to 1983 !!!! I always love FALLING which was included on John Farra's first and only solo album. He also recorded RECOVERY, and there was a video (audio only though) here on youtube.
Some of Barry's best written songs were POST Saturday Night Fever, not that 75-77 wasnt awesome for The Begees, it was! However, the early 80s contained numerous tunes only acceptable in European,musical formats (sadly, due to mancho ZZ Top, Skinard style mania ocurring in the beginning o the 80s; which produced enough fake testosterone mindset-corporate wide to steer music away from the vocalitsts who made the 70s special; The Begees
Barry Gibb is by FAR the most talented singer-songwriter there is. I can never get enough! Yet, I've never heard this one before. Once again, he's THE MAN!!
@sealord76 You couldn't be more right and the 80s, proved this. Even after the Bee Gees stopped having hits, the Brothres Gibb continued to write hit songs for other artists, like "Islands In The Stream" and "Heartbreaker" (Dionne Warwick)
Maurice died a few years ago of complication with some intestinal problem. The youngest brother, Andy, died many years ago. Barry (the oldest), and Robin (younger, and also Maurice's twin), are still alive. If you were a real Bee Gees fan, you would know this!!!
Now, I remember! It was Maurice who died! And Barry&Robin are still alive, but as far as I can remember, Bee Gees rest in peace along with Maurice. After that, news on Australia singers/song writers are so rare. All I can get now from Australia is Kylie Minogue (Tina Arena is good, but why no more news oh her? Olivia Newton John -- still shines like gold, I believe. But the media here seems to forget her)
Was it Barry or Robin Gibb who passed away years ago? I forget. Or, was I confused with other Barry I know in my life? I've been in Jupiter for some time, he-he-he.....
barry is a fucking musical genius...wrote so many songs for people.babara striesand kenny rogers and too many for me to remember...i love this man!!!!!
@ekosoelistiyo Barry and Robin are still here. You'd be suprised what they're up to....just because the BEE GEES are no more doesn't mean they're gone.
I don't know how to get the MP3 version. Is it also available on his single Drown on the River? How do I get them? Please, please, let me know. Thanks a million! Cathy
It's from Guilty Demos (1980)... an album of songs writed by Barry to other singers... I dont know if its for sale, but you can always look in the web ^^
@beegeebetty the BEE GEES demos are studio tracks that aren't released. i wish they would release them. there are more unreleased material that are locked in the vaults just like other artists. the bee gees sang lots of great songs during the late 1970's. this coming nov. of 2010 a box set titled " MYTHOLOGY " will be released. there are a few newly released tracks of maurice & andy. enjoy. *****
Oh my gaud! I have been waitin on this demo for so long; lovin Olivia's version, wonderin what The Bee Gees version would sound like (being such a fan). THANKS from the bottom of my heart.
Not just a great songwriter but a great singer too. His vocals are incredible.

Barry is unmatched in pop purity. I don't like the falsetto much, but the songs he writes are the stuff of musical genius.
