  Speaker 1: Name the song, be.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Every song has a story. Every story links the generations. ChatGPT, Alexa,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: and Siri, they're just AI. We lived it.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Name the song before we do.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Arrow calling. Hey, welcome back to Music's Lost History, the
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: song edition. Wow, what a moment this song put into play.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: It was released right in the middle of the disco craze,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: which was between 1974 and 1980. And it had nothing
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: to do with the disco genre. It's a pop soul
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: ballad that pretty much got into the mix because of
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: just being available. The song was pinned out in France
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: in 1977. Their manager was searching for music to be
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: featured in a brand new movie. Well, here's the thing.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: That manager was the dude that was producing the movie.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Robert looked at the songwriters and explained what he was
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: looking for. They wrote so many different versions of the
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: song before finally accepting the layout like two and a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: half weeks later. Now, the song isn't about someone's love.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: The title of the song left a lot of interpretations
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: up in the air. But you got what you assumed.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And you know what? We all loved it. Back.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: We're coming back. Music's lost history. Name the song before
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we do. Arrow Collins is coming back.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, Three Brothers, a big movie, and it
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: got them a Grammy Award?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Music's lost history.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Thanks for coming back to Music's Lost History. This is
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the Song Edition. Three brothers who received credit for bringing
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: a song together in movie theaters as well as the radio.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: And it had nothing to do with disco, but pretty
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: much it was a return to the original roots. A
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: beautiful melody, sophisticated chords, close harmonies, and almost a whispered
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: vocal intimacy, something we were very new to. One of
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the band's earlier hits, Stayin' Alive, was about making you move,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: but this one was about getting you to feel something.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: It wasn't instantly attached to like the other movie hit.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: It was released long before that Saturday Night Fever, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: it won the Brothers Gibb a Grammy Award for Best
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Pop Vocal Performance by a group. Music's love! The song
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: we're talking about is How Deep Is Your Love from
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the Bee Gees. I'm Errol, and that's Music's Lost History,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the song edition.
