The track was featured on the massive Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, and topped the US charts in 1977.
It later hit number one in the UK when Take That covered it in 1996.

"It couldn't be more appropriate when we all say goodbye."
Saturday Night Fever star John Travolta paid tribute to Gibb yesterday, calling him a "real friend".
