Bee Gees (1974) I Can't Let You Go

 Today's our 70s gem is from the Gibb Brother's criminally underrated, Mr Natural album, the first one to delve into RnB, soul and Funk music. Full of gems, the first of many to address in later posts this is the burning,rocking ballad that already has melodic shades of alter ballads such as More than a Woman but with far more ferocity than their later slick, disco phase; this is in my opinion them at their most primal and their creative peak. Playing better than ever before with a new line-up and a new sound I Can't Let You Go is a storming elegy to not being able to let go it displayed brother Barry shift to front man and remarkable writer of lyrics and a vocal delivery far more convincing than his trademark strained falsetto of the late 70s.
