The Songs of Summer

The summer of 1983. Disco was dead and buried, but dance music was on the way back. The soundtracks to "Flashdance" and "Staying Alive" were selling millions and "Footloose" was only a year away. As a film, "Staying Alive" stunk. The sequel to "Saturday Night Fever" was absolutely abysmal and only did so-so at the box office.

None the less, the Bee Gees contributed five brilliant tunes to the picture. The first single from the set went to # 24 in June of '83. It's featured here as part of the Songs of Summer series. Enjoy...
