Saved By The Bell (song)
"Saved by the Bell" is a 1969 single written and recorded by Robin Gibb. It was released in June 1969, and has been certified gold. It was the lead single on Gibb's debut album ''Robin's Reign'', released in early 1970. According to Vinyl Records, the song was co-produced by Kenny Clayton. Gibb also made a promotional video for this song. The song gained commercial success in Europe, but was a commercial failure in the US. Music critic Nicholas James says: "'Saved by the Bell' falls into this category, being heavily influenced by the Bee Gees track ' I Started a Joke'. It has a powerful Robin Gibb lead vocal and an infectious melody, although the lyrics are somewhat simplistic (possibly even banal)." David Furgess described "Saved by the Bell" as a "killer song". Background Gibb announced his solo plans on 19 March 1969, on the same day the Bee Gees recorded " Tomorrow Tomorrow" and two other songs. "Saved by the Bell" was recorded around March 1969 at De Lane Lea Studios, alo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
