The 70s were better days we miss them.

[@anja9303]

80s too! Our time...

[@lenorewhilder9257]

​@@anja9303I agree with you honey The seventies had awesome songs for me it definitely was the eighties music that was the decade honey love it darling,

[@3x3mm]

And how. Simple. Phone attached to the wall.

[@BoogieKnight1976]

Simply one of the greatest songs to be sung by a lady.

[@JB-wh3we]

Like many of the other comments, I fully agree that this song's content needed a longer treatment like its been given here. Its a rare thing when a song so perfectly captures a feeling, an idea, an experience of a time. I was born 15 years after Disco and listening to this im transported right into the late 70s.

[@hopefischer]

Don't know why I'm surviving every lonely day When there's got to be no chance for me My life would end and it doesn't matter how I cry My tears of love are a waste of time If I turn away am I strong enough to see it through? Go crazy is what I will do If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby If I can't have you ah ah, If can't have you I don't want nobody baby, if I can't have you ah ah Can't let go and it doesn't matter how I try I gave it all so easily to you my love To dreams that never will come true Am I strong enough to see it through? Go crazy is what I will do If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby If I can't have you ah ah, If can't have you I don't want nobody baby, if I can't have you ah ah If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby If I can't have you ah ah, If can't have you I don't want nobody baby, if I can't have you ah ah If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby If I can't have you ah ah, If can't have you I don't want nobody baby, if I can't have you ah ah If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby🙏

The bee gees were such phenomenal songwriters not just the music but amazing lyrics to go with it like these

[@Anna.T.]

Great song! I was born in the 90s but would give my right hand to have lived the 70s :( have always felt a special ‘connection’ with that decade

[@jlovethelounge7959]

I lived it Anna and I can tell you and it’s kind of sad but weekly I’m nostalgic about those days , how much happier we all were . The LAST good decade was yours , at least u have that!

[@donnakoster4685]

Yes, we had Great Music back then. Discos, Strob Lights, Bell Bottom Pants. Halter Tops, Big Hair, and Cheaper Gas. It was a Great Time.

[@ActiveAussie2024]

The good ol days!

[@okijima15]

Gosh, I miss 70s Cause, I was just young maybe?😢😂

[@mwarariwatamu]

Me too. I feel the same way. Or maybe we might have lived in the 70s and probably worked in a records store 😎

[@StephenSatterfieldTheSLSway]

Just a powerhouse team up of Elliman and the Gibbs !!!!

[@juliocaban465]

Absolutely a huge Disco song ! When this song was played, the floor was packed ! I first danced to this record with the love of my life..RIP HONEY !

[@TheMidnightGroove]

45 years ago I watch this movie in a cold theater in Fort Hood Texas, in search of that "If I Can't Have You" the dance scene took me to a world of imagination that to this day still keeps me there. Great job a million times over.

[@jeromemanoharan7427]

[@richardboudeman8372]

Went w my brother to see this....I was only 11..lol

[@cbabick]

Same here. I'm a Brooklyn (Bay Ridge) girl who found herself enveloped right there in Saturday Night Fever land--but too young to visit a disco. I'm 59 now, and this is still a beautiful song that brings me back to a very fun time in my life--as well as for millions around the world.

[@jeromemanoharan7427]

@@cbabick Yes indeed. Those were the “innocent” days and music was at it’s best.

[@nicholalaw2681]

Saturday Night fever gives me good memories. Disco was the most beautiful experience in art for me. Irreplaceble. The magnifique couples dancing with difficults steps, strikes made me happy. Tha dancers. It was marvelous, fabulous, fantastic

I'm 62 when I hear this i always feel so good😊❤

[@thomastarwater2989]

One of the best disco songs ever recorded, and it’s a sad song when you listen to the lyrics. It should have lasted much longer. It does now and it’s much more enjoyable. I sure do miss the disco era. We were carefree back then. Not now. Anyway, thank you DiscoCat for your amazing expertise. I think Yvonne Elliman would enjoy it as well.

[@stevenferruzza7928]

3-4 minutes wasn't enough time for Different Good parts that made it what it is the vocals, the horn/string section, drums/congas bass etc. A timeless diamond gem of a song you gave more time to the different good parts that wants me to keep on dancing beyond 9 minutes(length of your new mix) and all night long.

[@lasthero3995]

So wonderful...it brings back so many memories and the mood of the gorgeous time of brilliant disco songs...

[@phantomcollector1976]

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME

[@rich_edwards79]

Great song from a film that on rewatching, far from being a fun summer story about a bunch of guys going clubbing in NYC, is actually pretty dark, especially the scenes on the bridge toward the end. The gritty side of the disco scene and a million miles from the beautiful rich people of Studio 54. Hard to pick a favourite tune from the soundtrack, as they are all absolute bangers, but this one ranks pretty high for me.

[@southernoregoncatmom6519]

Very good description. I watched the movie as a kid and it mostly went over my head. On rewatching as an adult, I was struck by how gritty the movie really is!

[@shanenolan8252]

Agreed

[@ActiveAussie2024]

Good comment, but plenty of non rich people went to Studio 54. Looks and style mattered though back in 1977.

[@Elwrt455]

Masterpiece song and Motion Picture Soundtrack

[@aol6983]

Another piece of magic by The Bee Gees, the songs they wrote for The Saturday Night Fever album are the best disco songs of all time. Lovely job Cat.

Brilliantly done. This song is a story that at under 3 mins originally was over far to quick,but your remix has turned it into a symphony which is how it should be. It shows a feeling for the music.Pure Class.

We were so happy back then 😃💯.

[@truthseeker5890]

I was twelve years old. Those were good times; those were very good times! This is music! The 70s and 80s produced music beyond description; it was wild with music! Those were the days of roller skating rinks; I believe (from memory) the skating rink closed at midnight or so; people would have stayed and skated for days, if they would have been allowed to. Today, where that rink stood, a Walmart stands. A Walmart stands where a music "factory" once stood. Is that progress? Love this music!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@AABB-bm9kk]

The height of BeeGees mania saw Ms. Elliman soar to the top of the charts on this super catchy track. 😀✌️ Love the melodramatic horn-driven beginning (and really, all the rest of it, too;). Despite being an obvious hit on even a first listen, This was the fourth single from Saturday Night Fever - Underlining the wealth of tracks on the double-LP soundtrack to the smash movie .🍿 It finished as the 19th biggest hit of 1978 on Billboard.

[@chrispnw2547]

The strings and horn arrangements really provide that additional layer of 'power' to this song. Horns have a special way of connoting you are experiencing an event.

[@AABB-bm9kk]

This remix comes at a poignant time. Just lost my cousin last Sunday. We saw the movie in 1977. We left the theater, bought the album, and practiced dance moves. This track became "our" song. Thank you so much DJDC for this one. As usual your remixes are FANTASTIC! This one will play often between now and the service on Saturday ♥️

Sorry about your loss. I hope you doing ok.

[@AEMoreira81]

The Bee Gees were so popular then, that two covers featured on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, this and More Than a Woman (Tavares cover), would have been crushed on the charts had the Bee Gees version (also in the movie) been released as singles.

Me encantó cuando hizo de María Magdalena en Jesucristo Superstar y esa voz tan peculiar suya!!

[@dazb9013]

In the Bee Gees Anthology song book from 1991, under this song , Maurice Gibb says it was originally written for ABBA on the steps of the Chateau studios in France in early 1977. A classic song and great mix.

[@AstroLove_S.]

This composition is really in the spirit of ABBA, it would be interesting to hear their version.

So sad and sweet... bittersweet! Pure beauty!!

From Saturday night fever I remember those days when I was in high school. Again, I remember learning the hustle back in those days and this was one of the songs that we practice on so thank you for the deja vu.

[@KevinSills]

I owned this "45" back in the day, probably in 1977, it was that year I started collecting 45 records, I ended up with a collection of over 300 45 records. I was in Highschool, and these were some of the best years of my life growing up on my family dairy farm.

[@andreaboys]
