You Win Again

After a four-year break from performing in the mid-80's, the Bee Gees returned to the studio in 1987 with veteran producer Arif Mardin; the result being the superb album "E.S.P."

The first single off that record, "You Win Again," was the best-selling and most played single of 1987 in Europe; yet it only managed to peak at #75 here in the States (which says more about the quality of American radio than it does about the Bee Gees' music).

With the brothers' lush harmonization and Mardin's polished production work, the song is definately one of the best of that decade. When I play it for friends, they love it.

And so, your Song of the Day is "You Win Again" by the Bee Gees.



Update: You can take a look at the video for the song here.
