Introduction
“Love So Right,” a soulful ballad by the Bee Gees, emerged in 1976 as part of their album “Children of the World.” While the era was known for the brothers Gibb’s disco domination with hits like “Stayin’ Alive” and “Night Fever,” “Love So Right” offered a beautiful detour.
Composed by the songwriting trio of Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, the song’s creation began early in 1976. Recording took place across several sessions in Quebec, Canada, alongside other tracks that would become part of “Children of the World.”
Released as the second single from the album, “Love So Right” surprised many. While it wasn’t a chart-topping behemoth, it achieved respectable success. It climbed to number three on the Billboard Hot 100, showcasing the Bee Gees’ versatility and their ability to craft both infectious dance hits and heartfelt ballads. “Love So Right” also found a niche on the Adult Contemporary chart and even garnered some minor recognition on the Billboard Black Singles chart.
The song’s B-side, “You Stepped into My Life,” provided a delightful contrast. But it was “Love So Right” that captivated listeners with its smooth melody, the signature soaring vocals of the Bee Gees, and lyrics that painted a picture of a love that felt preordained and perfect.
So, as you press play on “Love So Right,” prepare to be enveloped by the rich harmonies and a message of love that feels, well, so right.
