Andy Gibb’s song “Shadow Dancing” soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on June 17, 1978, and stayed there through the week of July 29, making the summertime hit the number one song of the year.
In the book The Billboard Book of Number One Hits, Gibb was quoted as saying that "Shadow Dancing" was written when all of his brothers were in Los Angeles to work on the movie Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Not only did the brothers have a quick group writing session, but big brother Barry sang backup vocals on the hit disco-inspired track.
Andy Gibb’s career was a whirlwind
In a 1985 interview with Bob Durant, he said of the song, “Whoo, huge, that record was huge.”
Gibb was substantially younger than his older brothers and never wanted to join their trio.
During an appearance on The Merv Griffin Showin the late 1970s, Barry Gibb explained why his youngest brother didn’t just join the Bee Gees. “Andy's like 10 years [younger], a different thing,” he said. “It’s hard for Andy to [jump in]. He would rather be a solo artist.”
