Bee Gees ~ You Stepped Into My Life 1976 Disco Purrfection Version

After the success of "You Should Be Dancing", "Love So Right" and "Boogie Child" they released a live version of "Edge Of The Universe" that ended up peaking at #26
on the Hot100.
"You Stepped Into My Life" was relegated to the B Side of "Love So Right" and was not promoted as a single in 1976. They were trying different studios to obtain the sonics that each provided. For example, they finished recording "Can't Keep A Good Man Down" and "Boogie Child" at le Studio in Québec and then finished "You Stepped Into My Life" at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida the next day.
The personnel on this one included Blue Weaver on keyboards, Dennis Bryon on drums, Alan Kendall on electric guitar, Maurice on bass and Barry on lead vocals and acoustic guitar.
Melba Moore covered the song at the behest of her producers, McFadden and Whitehead with Jerry Cohen who thought that a cover of a Bee Gees song might provide her with a breakout hit. It was a major club hit peaking at #5 disco, #17 R&B but only #47 on the Hot100.

Please listen to Melba Moore’s version! You will NOT be disappointed!

[@tatsf]

I was this many years old when I learned that Melba's was not the original version! I never knew about this one (and I grew up in the 70s). Not really surprised though. Wasn't really up on Bee Gees music, Melba was more my style!

[@KaylasMusicalDigest545]

Wonderful remix! Thanks for extending this song! It sounds amazing!

[@aol6983]

Yes Cat, yes. Those mid 70's sounds from the Bee Gees were absolutely top notch and still brilliant to this day. Can you do a remix on 'Fanny Be Tender"? Melba Moore also did a disco version of "You stepped into my life" and Linda Clifford did likewise on 'Fanny' - so soulful black artists loved their songs too . . and also Candi Staton with her 'Nights on Broadway' version.

[@juanitopila5048]

The bgs rocked. Yes, rocked!! Most people only associated them w disco because of snf... but they were hitting the charts 10 +yrs before and even had a #1 w HCYMABH in '71. Not to mention several t10 hits and more t40 hits before they became "disco kings"!!!

[@bobdavis4848]

I think the Bee Gees only had one disco song, "You Should Be Dancing," and maybe this great one; the rest was danceable r&b as they called it. Yes they had loads of great songs!

[@richardboudeman8372]

@@bobdavis4848 jt, sa...nf..mtaw from snf...are all disco songs....

[@bobdavis4848]

@@richardboudeman8372 I am quite aware of how those songs sound, having heard them all hundreds of times. But I disagree. The Bee Gees themselves claimed they are danceable r&b, not disco. They said they were asked to give some songs, meant for their next album, to a movie about New York Saturday nights and that they didn't want to call it "Saturday Night" because of other songs already out by that name (by Bay City Rollers and Earth, Wind & Fire I'm sure they meant.). I will of course acknowledge that the songs you mentioned would work in a disco and are disco environment worthy and are great. But in terms of beats per minute, bouncy bass and sweeping strings and so on, I don't consider them quite fitting the genre like "You Should Be Dancing" does. The uptempo Casablanca output of Donna Summer, Village People, studio acts like Ultimate, Ritchie Family, Voyage's first two albums, late 70s Cerrone, Alec R.Costandinos, Boris Midney's alias projects like USA-European Connection, I consider all to be disco. But "Stayin' Alive," "Night Fever," "More Than a Woman" and "Jive Talkin'" are so midtempo compared to so much of that and I think that and the soul / r&b amount put them outside of the pure disco realm. If you know of an interview where any Bee Gees member calls any of their songs disco, I'd like to know. Johnnie Taylor said "Disco Lady" was not disco genre and was just about disco environment. I agree; it is also midtempo r&b...people are able to move to it in a disco environment of course, but not fitting the literal genre definition I feel.

[@richardboudeman8372]

@@bobdavis4848 they are disco plain and simple.....don't like it too bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bobdavis4848]

@@richardboudeman8372 I'm fine with agreeing to disagree with you, too bad you are apparently getting uptight and not fine with agreeing to disagree with me, and instead you act like no one else is allowed to have a different interpretation from yours. It doesn't seem really respectful to the mostly deceased Bee Gees to contradict how they feel about their music. They said KC and the Sunshine band and Village People did disco not them; they said they just got caught up in the movement and the backlash. I said my opinion that those songs are great and disco worthy and would work in a disco but are not literally disco genre. Of course it can be debated without an onslaught of exclamation points and attitude. The disco / danceable r&b bashers would be quite amused to see evidence of fans of disco and similar music fighting amongst ourselves. I'm not trying to force you to agree with me; I just stated my opinion. Have a wonderful day discoing on down.
