    Yvonne had her first hit in 1971 with "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar". She played Mary Magdalene in the travelling version as well as the movie version of the hit musical. She did a cover of Barbara Lewis' "Hello Stranger" in 1977 that reached Billboard's Hot 100 list at number 15. She also had a hit with a Barry/Robin Gibb penned song "Love Me". This song from the "Saturday Night Fever" Soundtrack reached number 1 in 1978. She was born in Honolulu, HI in 1951.

      Exactly when Led Zeppelin was hitting their peak, Black Sabbath coming on strong, Deep Purple, Almond Brothers, ZZ Top, etc., 9 out of 10 songs on the radio were Bee Gees disco songs. Different culture, different cliques, different view of life in general. No wonder there was a backlash. Let other music breathe! (at the time.)

    • @mperezmcfinn2511
      @mperezmcfinn2511 5 месяцев назад +4

      Overexposure was a big part of it.
      Disco had a formula that was easy to replicate, so after it went mainstream there was a gold rush. Artists from every genre, commercials, soundtracks, even a few random celebrities went disco overnight and flooded the market with bad cash grabs. Soon the public got sick of it (and the 70s in general). The 80s was all about burying the 70s. Disco, like exposed chest hair, polyester and consequence free hook ups had to go.

    Yvonne and the Bee Gees were on the same label RSO. They wrote songs for her 1977 album. Yvonne was suppose to sing "How Deep Is Your Love", but the Bee Gees manager heard the demo, and told them to keep the song. So she was given "If I Can't Have You", Barry and Robyn wrote "Love Me" which is a great song for her album. She also did a great remake of 'Hello Stranger " on the album. I think it's been already mention she was Mary Magdaline in JCS...singing "Everythings Alright" & "I Don't Know How to Love Him".

    I adore this tune! It has so many memories and feelings attached to it. It definitely personifies the glory days of the disco era. It was written by the Bee Gees in 1977. The song initially appeared on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

    I've always loved this song. Not because of the nostalgia, which is huge with me but the fact it's just a great melodic pop song. It really takes me back to the disco days of the 70's. Thanks.

    Yvonne was in the original album cast of "Jesus Christ, Superstar", then in London's original West End Theatre production of this Rock Opera, then in the Broadway original cast production, and then in the 1973 movie version. She has two show-stopping songs in this show. I do not like Musicals but this is a Rock Opera and this Easter, I urge you to react to the 1973 film, shot among the Roman ruins in Israel by a successful Hollywood director, Norman Jewison, from Canada. The cast was amazing, electrifying.

    Fantastic. Ten thumbs up. It is from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. I believe the Bee Gees did the original and this is a cover, or vice versa. Elliman’s is far better, IMO. In any event, it has Bee Gees all over it, so Jay’d better be careful. There is a video for this song taken from the movie. That would’ve been a better reaction.
    Disco NEVER sucked.

    This was one of my favorite songs from the movie 'Saturday Night Fever'. Her pure, innocent voice is such a contrast to the gritty, sweaty, and primal vibe of that R rated flick. Definitely check out the video of her singing "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from the Musical/Movie 'Jesus Christ Superstar'! She literally sings her heart out on it, and it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

    This is from the era when everyone wanted to dance whether they could or not. People watching was a huge hobby as well. This was included on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and one of 6 songs, from the record label RSO, that went to #1 on the Billboard song chart. The other 5 were either sung by or written by The Bee Gees. Long live Barry Gibb. I think he wrote this.😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉 She was the prelude to the "one -hit" wonder. She never had another song on the Billboard chart. I'm not aware of her success anywhere else. I do love the music to this.

    Another #1 hit from the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack. Written by the BeeGees and also recorded by them. Elliman had earlier had a minor hit with a cover of the BeeGees' "Love Me." In the early '70s Elliman sang back-up for Eric Clapton and also performed in the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" and snag "I Don't Know How to Love Him" (which was later a hit for Helen Reddy).

    This is a Bee Gees composition and was recorded by them for the soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever. Hawaiian Yvonne's version was released as a single and was so successful around the world that it was later dubbed onto some versions of the film.
    In 2009, Adam Lambert re-invented this song as a ballad on that year's American Idol disco week.
