First Top Ten Hit!

In September 1968, the Bee Gees released one of their most important records... "I've Gotta Get A Message To You".  The song went to #1 in Britain (their second British #1) but more importantly the song became the group's first top ten hit in the USA, climbing to #8 on the Hot 100.  A song about a man on death row, it nonetheless helped create a huge American fan base for the surging Australian band.  Today it's mostly forgotten.
