The soundtrack album that helped define an era!

Sometimes, one thing in your life happens that seems to change evrything else around you. Such is the case with "Saturday Night Fever: Original Motion Picture Sountrack". When it was first released as a double-disc vinyl record set in November 1977, it came out around the same time as the movie did to theaters. It would eventually go on to become the best-selling album of all time for nearly 7 years. This album has been certified platinum 15 times by the RIAA. The songs included in this soundtrack release are synonymous with the era which it represents. David Shire composed and adapted 3 tracks for this collection, while fellow instrumentalist Ralph McDonald provided "Calypso Breakdown". Kool And The Gang are heard performing "Open Sesame". MFSB of "TSOP" fame had the song "K-Jee". The Trammps gave us the classic "Disco Inferno". KC & The Sunshine Band shook things up with "Boogie Shoes". Yvonne Elliman went to number one with "If I Can't Have You". Walter Murphy also had a number one song with "A Fifth Of Beethoven". Tavares easily handled "More Than A Woman". The Bee Gees dominate things with 6 songs: "Stayin' Alive", "How Deep Is Your Love", "Night Fever", their version of "More Than A Woman", plus "Jive Talkin" and "You Should Be Dancing". Some vinyl copies of the album contain the studio take of "Jive Talkin", while others feature the live version. Both copies are well worth seeking out. A perfect album from the late 70s, it won the Grammy award for Album of the Year. This is classic popular music that is still fun to dance to!
