Since then, the song has become a contemporary pop standard with recordings by more than 100 other artists. The Bee Gees released their own single version of "To Love Somebody" and it went to #17, becoming their second pop hit single in the US. The Bee Gees' manager Robert Stigwood reportedly asked the group for a Sam and Dave style soul song to give to Otis Redding to record and the result was "To Love Somebody." Unfortunately, Otis Redding died before he could record the song. The British boy band Take That recorded a version of "How Deep Is Your Love" in 1996, and it went to #1 on the UK pop singles chart. Barry Gibb has stated that this is his favorite of all of the Bee Gees' songs. It also hit #3 on the UK pop singles chart and reached the top 10 in many different countries around the world. "How Deep Is Your Love?" won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals. The song became the first of six consecutive #1 hit singles in the US for the group and set a record for the longest time spent in the top 10-17 weeks. The Bee Gees recorded "How Deep Is Your Love?" for the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever and released their own music video for the track.
"How Deep Is Your Love" was one of five songs forwarded to him, even though the group originally intended to give the song to Yvonne Elliman to record. Seems to me someone's reputation should be in question for this release and it sure ain't the Bee Gees.The Bee Gees were working on the follow up to their 1976 album Children Of the World when their manager and film producer Robert Stigwood called asking for songs for an upcoming movie. This might have made up some what for how Capitol Records failed to reproduced the sound quality of these most successful recordings of one of the most iconic groups in music history. Why were these pictures excluded from this release? Could Capitol Records not have made the fore mentioned pictures into two attractive inner sleeves to house the two coloured vinyl's. The other is a centre spread discography picture of all the Bee Gees official album front covers. One is a b&w photo of the three Gibb Brothers all dressed in white. You'll notice that there are a couple of pictures missing. But the novelty here is short lived when you compare its album sleeve to the Cd's inlay version. What attracted me to buying this version was the fact that it was a limited coloured version that looked really cool and so I guess I was taken in by its novelty. I definitely had no intention of buying the vinyl copy at the time, so I can't make any comparison here with the black vinyl version that was also released back then. I did eventually cave in and got myself a Cd copy which sounded really good as it should. I had complained about this compilation back in 2017 when first released by Capitol Records as they hadn't introduced anything new on it for Bee Gees fans so I did try to resist buying a copy. Side A starts of sounding well but it seems to deteriorate from there on after which is disappointing as surprisingly this coloured vinyl version doesn't have much surface noise on it. It's very hard to say where they got their source from for pressing this one, but it's definitely not from the original compilation master. But yes sadly the truth is that the sound of this issue is not as it should be. I hadn't listened to my copy fully and to its end. I had to re-write this review as I was a little premature when writing it originally.
