Bee Gees (1975) Edge of the Universe‏

Starting with some Allman Brothers'  styled twin slide guitars that manage to sound spacey rather the blues. This leads to Barry Gibb's breathy tale of a summer in space with his dog named Shenandoah and with some glittering keyboards along for the ride to give create a romantic, interstellar flavour. This lush ballad is at the end of the Main Course (1975) which established their new blend of Philly inspired brand of funky soft rock, which would see them go to the very top of the Disco charts. This number in particular is a nice blend of their new Adult Contemporary sound and their old dance hall styled numbers with it's sincere delivery matched by a new mainstream rock ballad edge.
