How many of these did you know were written by the Gibb brothers?

7. Dionne Warwick - Heartbreaker

The Bee Gees wrote the lion's share of Dionne's 1982 album 'Heartbreaker' which includes this hit along with 'All the Love in the World.'

6. Samantha Sang - Emotion

The only UK hit for Australian Samantha Sang, Barry Gibb sang the backing vocals on this track originally intended for the Gibb brothers 'Saturday Night Fever' soundtrack.  The Bee Gees did finally record 'Emotion' in 1994.

5. Frankie Valli - Grease

Written for the film version of the musical 'Grease', Barry Gibb once again provides backing vocals and Peter Frampton plays guitar.

4. Barbra Streisand - Woman in Love

Barry and Robin Gibb wrote this for Barbra's 1980 album and scooped the Ivor Novello award for best song that year.

3. Yvonne Elliman - If I Can't Have You

Featured on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, the Bee Gees released their own version a month later as the B-side to 'Stayin Alive'.

2. Diana Ross - Chain Reaction

The Bee Gees were initially unsure whether to approach Diana Ross with 'Chain Reaction' as they were worried that she wouldn't want to perform a pseudo-Motown song in her later career.

1. Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - Islands in the Stream

All three Gibb brothers wrote this originally for Marvin Gaye, but it ended up providing a second number one single in the US for both Dolly and Kenny.
