Subject: Robin Gibb - Boys Do Fall in Love (1984)
Written By: whistledog on 05/21/09 at 7:56 pm
I gave this song it's own thread because it's just that awesome ...
Robin Gibb is a legendary British/Australian singer best known as 1/3 of The Bee Gees. In 1984, he released a solo album titled 'Secret Agent' that produced a North American Top 40 single titled 'Boys Do Fall in Love'. The music video made for the song had a futuristic theme, and is somewhat remembered for the appearance of a CD Player (which was still new technology at the time: The CD Player made it's world-wide debut in 1983)

I gots the Hot Tracks remix of this tune. It's fun cheesy pop. :D

His solo stuff caused barely a ripple here in Britain (apart from 'Saved By The Bell' way back in 1969), but 'Juliet' from 1983, kept threatening to break into the British chart (courtesy of blanket airplay from Laser 558)...yet somehow didn't!
Not that he was unduly worried, his stuff sold like hotcakes in places like Germany...

^ I was kind of shocked to see 'Juliet' only reached #94 in the UK chart. In my searches, I saw it was a Top 40 hit in many parts of Europe.
