But even as that dance craze faded, again threatening to turn the Bee Gees into pop anachronisms, the Gibbs simply stepped out of the limelight for a while, turning their talents to MOR hit-making for the likes of Samantha Sang, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, and Dionne Warwick. Beginning with the plaintive 1966 hit “New York Mining Disaster 1941,” this set traces the Gibbs’ journey from successful Beatles-era balladeers to ’70s white R&B gods and the undisputed kings of disco (we’re reminded here that their shrewd metamorphosis began with “Nights on Broadway” and “Jive Talkin'”–long before the mega-success of “Saturday Night Fever”). Through it all, their familiar voices lock together in the sort of transcendent, seemingly genetic harmony that few singers since the Everly Brothers (early Gibb inspirations) have managed. In typical, telling fashion, the Brothers Gibb have eschewed such exercises in ego inflation and simply let the best of their remarkable body of music speak for itself.
