When Barry Gibb stepped under the bright lights of The Midnight Special in the 1970s, the audience didn’t just hear a song — they witnessed a master craftsman of melody at work.

The hit that had first climbed the charts in the 1960s found new life that night, this time in front of a late-night TV crowd more attuned to rock and soul than heartfelt ballads.
