1991 single by Bee Gees


"The Only Love" is a song by the Bee Gees from their 1991 album High Civilization, released as the album's third single. The single's B-side was a previously unreleased live version of "You Win Again", recorded in Melbourne, Australia during their 1989's One for All World Tour. Although the song was released only in Europe as a single there, it did not chart in the UK, but it reached number 31 in Germany.[1] The sleeve art for the single was a photo collage that included an image of Maurice’s daughter Samantha right in the center.[2] A ballad, lead vocals are provided by Barry Gibb.

Quick Facts Single by Bee Gees, from the album High Civilization ...

"The Only Love" was only performed during the 1991 High Civilization Tour. It was covered by Ana Gazzola in Portuguese.

Recording

"The Only Love" was originally offered by Barry to Kelli Wolfe, but he then replaced it with a song he wrote specifically for her, "Born to Be Loved by You".[3]

The track sounds like an extended Barry verse welded to the type of big singalong chorus that Robin and Maurice always favored, its lyrics are well put and under the circumstances he seems entitled to the over-the-top repeats at the song's finish.[3] It was originally offered to Bryan Adams, though he declined their offer.
