In 1997, the Bee Gees were on a mission. The world thought they were just “The Disco Kings,” but they wanted to prove they were the greatest songwriters to ever live.
So, they sat down and wrote a song so difficult and so beautiful that only one person on the planet could sing it: Celine Dion.
The song was called Immortality. In the studio, Barry Gibb watched Celine hit notes that seemed impossible. He called it “indescribable.”
