"How Deep Is Your Love" is part of the soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever (1977), the album that changed the history of pop music and Disco. Written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb in a few days, the ballad was composed especially for the film starring John Travolta. Unlike the more danceable tracks on the album, it has a romantic and melancholy atmosphere, with the perfect harmonies of the Gibb brothers that became the band's trademark.
Released as a single in September 1977, it spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was one of the biggest hits of the Bee Gees' career. It won the Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group and helped the album sell more than 40 million copies worldwide. To this day it is considered one of the most beautiful and timeless love songs of the 70s.

"Ma Baker" is from the album Love for Sale (1977), the second album by Boney M.

It was one of Boney M. biggest international hits: it reached #1 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and several other European countries, selling millions of copies.

Cruel Summer is part of the self-titled album Bananarama (1984), the second album of the British trio. The song was written by Sara Dallin, Keren Woodward and Siobhan Fahey along with producers Jolley & Swain during an unbearable heatwave in London in 1983. The three were trapped working while their friends took a vacation.
The video, shot in New York (Brooklyn) during another brutal heatwave, shows the three of them sweating and suffering for real on the streets of the city. This visual greatly helped the song to become a hit in the US after being included in the film Karate Kid (1984).
Released as a single, it reached #8 in the UK and #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming one of the biggest hits of Bananarama career and an absolute classic of dance pop of the 80s.
