In the late 70s, the Bee Gees spectacularly revived their career
and, with their soundtrack to the Saturday Night Fever film, became
the biggest disco group in the world. But when the disco boom
crashed they went from icons to punch lines overnight. The band was
inescapably frozen in time: all long, flowing manes, big teeth,
falsettos, medallions, hairy chests, and skintight satin trousers,
one finger forever pointing in the air. The Bee Gees would spend
the next forty years trying to convince people there was more to
them, growing ever more resentful of their gigantic disco success.
We d like to dress Stayin Alive up in a white suit and gold chains
and set it on fire, they said. Staying Alive finally lifts that
millstone from around their necks by joyfully reappraising and
celebrating their iconic disco era. Taking the reader deep into the
excesses of the most hedonistic of music scenes, it tells how three
brothers from Manchester transformed themselves into the funkiest
white group ever and made the world dance. No longer a guilty
pleasure but a national treasure.
