Bee Gees - Spirits Having Flown

Welcome to another edition of Seventies Saturday. Today also happens to be my birthday so I thought I would review one of my favorite albums from the end of that decade.

On February 5th of 1979 (just a few weeks prior to my fourteenth birthday), the brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb released Spirits Having Flown, their fifteenth studio album. The album was certified Platinum in both the US and the UK. Chart-wise, it went to number 1 in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the UK. In the US, it peaked at number 9 on the Billboard R&B charts and number 1 on the Billboard Hot 200.
