Sobre el álbum
La compilación Greatest de 1979 funciona como el perfecto epílogo a la era disco de los Bee Gees, resumiendo su periodo de dominio absoluto. Este doble álbum reúne los grandes éxitos de sus álbumes "Children of the World", "Saturday Night Fever" y "Spirits Having Flown", ofreciendo una panorámica inmejorable de su sonido más icónico. El disco se convierte en una colección infalible de himnos de la pista de baile y baladas de soul.

Letra
Here I lie in a lost and lonely part of town Held in time In a world of tears I slowly drown Goin' home I just can't make it all alone I really should be holding you Holding you, loving you loving you Tragedy When the feeling's gone and you can't go on It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere Tragedy When you lose control and you got no soul It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one beside you you're goin' nowhere Night and day there's a burning down inside of me Burning love With a yearning that won't let me be Down I go and I just can't take it all alone I really should be holding you Holding you, Loving you loving you Tragedy When the feeling's gone and you can't go on It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere Tragedy When you lose control and you got no soul It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one beside you you're goin' nowhere Tragedy When the feeling's gone and you can't go on It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere Tragedy When you lose control and you got no soul It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one beside you you're goin' nowhere - You Should Be Dancin'4:15

Letra
I know your eyes in the morning Sun I feel you touch me in the pouring rain And the moment that you wander far from me I wanna feel you in my arms again And you come to me on a summer breeze Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave And it's me you need to show How deep is your love Is your love, how deep is your love? I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down When they all should let us be We belong to you and me I believe in you You know the door to my very soul You're the light in my deepest darkest hour You're my saviour when I fall And you may not think that I care for you When you know down inside that I really do And it's me you need to show How deep is your love Is your love, how deep is your love? I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down When they all should let us be We belong to you and me And you come to me on a summer breeze Keep me warm in your love and then you softly leave And it's me you need to show How deep is your love Is your love, how deep is your love? I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down When they all should let us be We belong to you and me How deep is your love Is your love, how deep is your love?

Letra
She came on like the night and she held on tight And the world was right when she made love to me We were free She moved in like a friend , started loving me And I thought I'd found my heaven in her arms But the morning when I woke up I was here and she was gone Now I'm hanging on Maybe you can tell me How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong, oh my darling How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong, Where did she go when I need her close to me And the perfect story ended at the start I thought you came forever and you came to break my heart Now I'm hanging on , on the chance that you'll come back to me How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling I could take it in my stride Start living for the moment Maybe half the things we sought were never there Simply open up our eyes and break it down to size It isn't really fair How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling(repeat/fade) - Too Much Heaven4:54

- You Stepped Into My Life3:25
Letra
You stepped into my life and I'm, oh, so happy. You stepped into my life and I'm, oh, so happy. You stepped into my life, stepped into my life, stepped into my life and I'm, oh, so happy. You stepped into my life and I'm, oh, so. Before you came my way I always checked this out, so much pain in love and so alone inside. I never thought that I'd believe in love so much, but, darling, when you came close to me, suddenly, suddenly. You stepped into my life and I'm, oh, so happy. You stepped into my life and I'm, oh, so happy. You stepped into my life, stepped into my life, stepped into my life. You stepped into my life and I'm, oh, so happy. You stepped into my life and I'm, oh, so. You will never know What you have done, my love. You gave me so much more Than my love is worthy of. Beneath my very soul I kneel before your touch. Your touch is ecstasy, close to me, suddenly, suddenly. You stepped (you stepped) into my life and I'm, oh, so happy. You stepped (you stepped) into my life and I'm, oh, so happy. You stepped into my life, stepped into my life, stepped into my life... - Love Me3:59

- Love You Inside Out4:08
Letra
Baby, I can't figure it out Your kisses taste like honey Sweet lies don't gimme no rise Oh, oh what you're trying to do? Livin' on your cheatin' And the pain grows inside me It's enough to leave me crying in the rain Love you forever but you're Driving me insane And I'm hanging on Oh, oh I'll win, I'll never give in Our love has got the power Too many lovers in one lifetime Ain't good for you You treat me like a vision in the night Someone there to stand behind you When your world ain't working right. I ain't no vision, I am the man Who loves you inside out Backwards and forwards with My heart hanging out I love no other way What am I gonna do if we lose that fire? Wrap myself up and take me home again Too many heartaches in one Lifetime ain't good for me I figure it's the love that keeps you warm Let this moment be forever we won't ever feel the storm. I ain't no vision, I am the man Who loves you inside out Backwards and forwards with My heart hanging out I love no other way What am I gonna do if we lose that fire? Don't try to tell me it's all over I can't hear a word I can't hear a line No man could love you more And that's what I'm cryin' for You can't change the way I feel inside. You're the reason for my laughter and my sorrow Blow out the candle I will burn again tomorrow No man on earth can stand Between my love and I And no matter how you hurt me I will love you till I die. I ain't no vision, I am the man Who loves you inside out Backwards and forwards with My heart hanging out I love no other way What am I gonna do if we lose that fire? - Wind Of Change4:52
Letra
In the streets of New York City every man can feel the cold, and I don't want no pity, but I want my story told. And the lights shine down on me, they shine on the little boy, is this way to make him pay being born in a world of joy? But like me, he don't know where he'll go wrong, he won't cry so many tears till he finds out why he don't belong. Like me, there's no room for us out there, you can lose your hope and pride, when it comes to broken dreams you'll get your share. Sometimes a man breaks down, and the good things he is looking for are crushed into the ground. Get on up, look around, can't you feel the wind of change? Get on up, taste the air, can't you see the wind of change? Don't you understand what I'm saying? We need a god down here, a man to lead us children, take us from the valley of fear. Make the lights shine down on us, show us the road to go, help us survive, make us arrive, teach us what we need to know. Like me, he don't know where he'll go wrong, he won't cry so many tears till he finds out why he don't belong. Like me, there's no room for us out there, you can lose your hope and pride, when it comes to broken dreams you'll get your share. Sometimes a man breaks down, down, down down, down, and the good things he is searching for are crushed into the ground. Get on up, look around, can't you feel the wind of change? Get on up, taste the air, can't you see the wind of change? Get on up, look around, can't you feel the wind of change? Get on up, taste the air, can't you see the wind of change? Get on up, look around, can't you feel the wind of change? Get on up, taste the air, can't you see the wind of change? - Children Of The World3:07
Letra
We are children of the world - watching every day go by Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating We are searchers of the truth, every man's a boy deep down Gotta say it how you mean it - there ain't no easy way Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born To the very last day when the curtains are drawn We are children of the world - asking every question why From arrival to survival - just to make it worth the waiting We are faces in the night - watching every day go by Changes my life, changes your life - there aint no easy way In the back of your mind there is always a mark There's a wandering solo alone in the dark You can keep it forever or tear it apart We are children of the world - watching every day go by Changing my life, changing your life - keeps us all anticipating We are children of the world - watching every day go by Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born Till the very last day when the curtains are drawn We are children of the world - watching every day go by Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating We are children of the world - watching every day go by Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating
