OST-Saturday Night Fever

DSCN3885This was $2.40.   I did not think about it until just now but what an aptly put title to post today, on Saturday. Just got back from seeing Rusalka at the HGO so I am beat.  This one will be short.  Also, I am aware that my spelling this month has been poor and I am working on fixing that.saturday-night-fever-original-one-sheet-movie-poster

They used to play this quite a bit at Sharpstown Ice Center when I worked there.  Quite a bit.  I can picture the same figure skaters getting excited for the same part of the same song.  As far as the actual movie, you can read about that in the link below as I am tired.  It should be noted that John Travolta was nominated for an Oscar in this, his first role on film. It was also generally regarded as one of the best films of 1977 despite coming out right at the death of disco.

IMDB Link for Saturday Night Fever.

This album has tracks by Yvonne Elliman, The Tramps, K.C.& the Sunshine Band, and Kool & the Gang but make no mistake about it; this is the Bee Gee’s album.  From “Stayin Alive” to “How Deep is Your Love” to “Night Fever” to “Jive Talkin”, the brothers dominate the quantity and quality of this double album.  There are some decent instrumentals as well.469842For a sample, here is the Bee Gee’s “More Than a Woman”, which was also covered by Tavares on the same soundtrack.  Also to highlight the instrumental contribution, here is a “Night on Disco Mountain” adapted from Mussorgsky.DSCN3886Top rated album.  Ok movie I guess.  I don’t think I can watch it again any time soon, but it is entertaining. Sorry to shortchange any of you with this post but I am quite tired and have a long day ahead of me tomorrow.
