Drew from B\'ham, Al"If I Can't Have You" is indeed a song I like decently, can't complain.and listen to this from the be 18 again!!!!! in June 75 and went to Camp Lejeune,N.C.used to go to the "Bowery" club in Jacksonville,N.C. Rick from Belfast, MeRemember this song well.had just graduated from Parris Island,S.C.People who talk about some one else "selling out" just don't have the talent to be as popular. Talk of sell-out is foolish-they are very talented and made lots of money over it. You may not hear a disco beat when you listen to it now, but at the time it came out in 1975, the beat was new and unheard and GREAT! This was the precursor song to that huge 70s phenomenon of disco. Guy from Woodinville, WaI consider this song to be VERY significant, especially for the Bee Gees, obviously.Stefanie from Rock Hill, ScHaving listened to it more, I can understand how this song is a disco pre-cursor of sorts.But it was Yvonne Elliman who sang the hit version, which appeared on Saturday Night Fever. Their version was the B-side of Stayin' Alive and later on the 1979 release Bee Gees Greatest. Don from Sevierville, TnActually, the Bee Gees did write and record If I Can't Have You. ![]() The original US release used the live version, but the German pressing I used to have used the original studio version. Don from Sevierville, TnThis song did appear on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack album, but not in the movie.Camille from Toronto, OhLove, love, love the Brothers Gibb, but this may be my least favorite song of theirs.There wasn't a dance floor that wasn't stormed when anything dancey off the Saturday Night Fever album came on. There would be no Lady GaGa or Fat Boy Slim if Saturday Night Fever album had never been created. The Bee Gees, with wizards like Arif Mardin (who usually worked with Motown greats) gave the world future early techno, as disco. Like all Bee Gees song off the Saturday Night Fever, jive Talkin changed our lives in the late 1970's. Interestingly Barry Gibb who wrote the lyrics was happily married most of his life. The line 'there you go, with your fancy lies, Leavin me lookin like a dumbstruck fool'. Melinda from AustraliaThis has got to be one of the best songs ever written about girlfriends who are liars.Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn this day in 1975 on December 3rd, 1967.Some hear the lyric as "J-j-j-jive talkin', you're telling me lies" - but the actual wording is "It's just your jive talking." Diana from GeorgiaI noticed the "stuttering songs" category and have to comment that there is no stammer here.Lz from Burgh"Second Helping" is such a great classic 70s LP.And this song presaged the disco phenomenon but it was funky enough to help launch the landmark Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack album. Like the Bee Gees have said themselves, their sound is just an extension of R
