  • 1 - The Bee Gees: Living Eyes (Part One)

    I'm joined by Chloe Stauffer as we look at The Bee Gee's 1981 album Living Eyes. We’ll look at how the band became uncool overnight and why the album failed with critics and fans. It's the first album after disco died, and let's just say things weren't going well for the group.
