The Bee Gees are most famous for their album Saturday Night Fever. This album was the soundtrack for a popular movie with the same name. It helped make the disco music style very popular around the world.
Some of their biggest hit songs from Saturday Night Fever include "How Deep Is Your Love", "Stayin' Alive", and "Night Fever". These songs were number one hits in many countries. They also wrote "If I Can't Have You", which was a big hit for another singer, Yvonne Elliman.
