Wikipedia article




"'Love So Right'" is a R&B ballad recorded by the Bee Gees. It was the second single released on the album 'Children of the World'.

Background



It was written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb early in 1976. Recording started on 18 January, then 8 February and finished on 8 May in Quebec, Canada with the other songs "Can't Keep a Good Man Down", "Boogie Child", "Subway", "The Way It Was" and "You Should Be Dancing". It was the second consecutive Bee Gees single (following "You Should Be Dancing") to feature Barry Gibb's falsetto exclusively for lead vocals. Barry later stated that the song's R&B influence was inspired by the group "trying to be The Delfonics."

Release



"Love So Right" hit number three on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 as well as charting on the 'Billboard' Adult Contemporary chart. In addition, it was a minor hit on the 'Billboard' Black Singles chart, peaking at number 37. Its B-side was "You Stepped into My Life". In Canada, "You Stepped into My Life" was chosen as the A-side and this song was the B-side.

'Cash Box' said that "the R&B flavor is still there, so the appeal is across the board" and "those famous harmonies are in full force."
