Bee Gees - Children of the World

Welcome to another edition of Seventies Sunday. Today also happens to be my forty-ninth birthday, so to celebrate I am pulling out another album from the Bee Gees’ catalog.

Between 1975’s Main Course (click here for that review) and 1977’s Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (click here)came September of 1976’s Children of the World. The Platinum selling album, their twelfth internationally, went to number 36 in the Netherlands, number 23 on the US Billboard R&B chart, number 16 in Australia, number 8 on the US Billboard Album chart (sixty-three weeks total on the chart), number 6 in New Zealand, and number 3 in Canada.
