    Story by: Gail Nobles

    Welcome to the Music Archives! I’m your host, Gail Nobles, and we’re diving into the golden tunes that shaped our lives and continue to keep our spirits high! Now, let’s shake it up and groove to a classic that still sounds as fresh as a daisy on the radio waves—“More Than a Woman!”

    This fab tune comes straight from the minds of the legendary Bee Gees, those three brothers who knew how to weave the kind of melodies that make our hearts skip a beat. “More Than a Woman” was crafted for the film ‘Saturday Night Fever’, a flick that brought disco to the forefront and made everyone put on their dancing shoes!

    Now picture this: You’ve got the Gibb brothers laying down their magical harmonies. They recorded their own version, but here’s the twist! They brought in the fantastic Tavares to cover it as well. Talk about talent! Both renditions rocked the soundtrack, but it was Tavares who took it to the next level with that silky smooth sound.

    Released as a single, Tavares’ version hit the charts and climbed all the way to #32 in America, on the very same week that “Night Fever”—another Bee Gees banger—was reigning supreme at #1. Can you believe it? Two legendary tracks from the same movie battling it out for your ears!

    And let me tell you something, folks—whenever that track comes on, it’s like you’re instantly transported back to those dazzling disco nights and the era where the dance floor was king. It might be oldies, but “More Than a Woman” always feels brand new!

    So, let’s keep it alive, shall we? You’re listening to the Music Archives of oldies where Memories Never Fade Away.

    Today let’s talk about a classic. You’ll Never Find a Love Like Mine.

    You’ll Never Find a Love Like Mine song by the incredible Lou Rawls. The song was written by the talented duo, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff and shines brightly on his 1976 album all things in time.

    Lous smooth, soulful voice takes you on a journey of love and longing. The song beautifully expresses the idea that true love is rare and unforgettable-something that everyone dreams of finding with its lush orchestration and heartfelt lyrics. It’s no wonder this song has become a favorite for many.

    The song proved to be Rawls' breakthrough hit, reaching number 1 on both the R&B and Easy Listening charts as well as number 4 on the dance chart and number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100. This was the first and only time that one of Rawls' records reached Billboard's pop Top Ten.

    The single went on to sell over a million copies and was certified gold by the RIAA.
