Today's Forgotten Oldie...

"Lonely Days Lonely Nights" reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1970. It reached #1 on both Cashbox and Record World, and was the highest charting single to date for the Bee Gees.  With strings, piano, guitars and a tempo that builds and softens repeatedly (much like a couple of songs on the Beatles' Abbey Road album) Lonely Days established the Bee Gees as pop stylists and made them worldwide stars.  And yet today, it's rare to hear it on the radio.  Weird!
