Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb were hard at work on their studio follow-up to CHILDREN OF THE WORLD when producer Robert Stigwood called – might the trio have some songs for a little disco movie he was making? Things soon took on a life of their own as SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER ignited a global phenomenon. Powered by an amazing track line-up (Bee Gees' “How Deep Is Your Love,” “Stayin' Alive” and “Night Fever,” Yvonne Elliman's version of the Gibbs' “If I Can't Have You” and Walter Murphy's “A Fifth Of Beethoven” all became No.1 singles), the soundtrack hit No.1 on the U.S. album chart on this day in 1978, spending more than 20 weeks in the top slot. When all was said and done, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER had racked up more than 30 million sales and five Grammy Awards, and the double album remains one of the most enjoyable dance music collections ever made.

Bad Company (Deluxe) (Album of the Day)
Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Paul Rodgers, drummer Simon Kirke (both from Free), guitarist/songwriter Mick Ralphs (from Mott The Hoople) and bassist Boz Burrell (from King Crimson) became one of the most successful supergroups of the 1970s when they joined forces as Bad Company. Signing with Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label, the quartet's self-titled debut soared to No.1 on the U.S. chart on its way to quintuple-platinum sales status. Of the eight originals on the album, more than half would spend years in rotation on AOR and classic rock radio - “Rock Steady,” “Ready For Love,” “Movin’ On,” the title song and the #5 hit “Can’t Get Enough.” BAD COMPANY remains a milestone of blues-based hard rock, and Rhino's Deluxe Edition of the album features remastered sound from the original multi-tracks and a bonus disc of B-sides, demo and alternate versions.
