One of the last projects he worked on was a tribute to the victims of the Titanic. He also sang the vocals for the theme song for the British comedy-talk show The Dame Edna Treatment.

With this album, he provided lead vocals for “Staying Alive” and “How Deep Is Your Love.” But he also co-wrote all the original songs along with his brothers.

However, their comeback came in the 1970s – especially with the soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever. During this time, The Bee Gees faced setbacks as a group. He also briefly focused on a solo career in 19. Along with Barry and Maurice, he wrote “Only One Woman” for The Marbles. He also wrote many songs for other groups.
