> Then, at the end of the 80s, the Bee Gees made one of the biggest comebacks ever. They had a #1 in the UK a year earlier and then blew up the American charts again with a smash that put them back in the game, You Win Again... and they’ve never looked back

I see it was a pretty major hit in the late 1980s [see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Win_Again_(Bee_Gees_song) ] but I honestly don't think I have ever heard the song [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZY9oYSSjFI ] before now.

I'll give it a couple of listens, but so far it doesn't really "grab" me. It may be a "you had to be there" thing. I was around, but quite busy with life in the 1980s and 1990s.

As songwriters, the Gibb brothers received the 1987 British Academy's Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 1988, the band received a Brit Award nomination for Best British Group. In a UK television special on ITV in December 2011, it was voted second (behind "How Deep Is Your Love") on The Nation's Favourite Bee Gees Song.
