Stephen Stills contributed to Bee Gees disco hit ‘You Should Be Dancing’
Folk rocker Stephen Stills contributed to the Bee Gees' 1976 disco hit ‘You Should Be Dancing,’ which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The collaboration occurred by chance at Miami’s Criteria Studios, where Stills was recording with Crosby, Stills & Nash while the Bee Gees were working in a neighboring studio.
Stills provided percussion on the track, specifically playing timbales, which added a rhythmic layer to the song. The track was a pivotal moment for the Bee Gees, marking the first major single featuring Barry Gibb’s signature full falsetto vocals, a stylistic shift that helped define the group's disco era.
