Living Eyes (Bee Gees Album)
Living Eyes is the Bee Gees' sixteenth original album (fourteenth internationally), released in 1981. The Bee Gees began to break away from the disco sound that was prominent on their work in the mid-late 1970s with this album. However the album was not a commercial success, perhaps due to them being so strongly associated with disco. It sold 750,000 copies worldwide, compared to 30 million copies of their previous studio album Spirits Having Flown in 1979. While it did not sell well in either the UK or the US, the album itself was a Top 40 hit in the majority of territories in which it saw wide release.
It would be the band's final album on RSO Records. The label would be absorbed into Polydor and subsequently discontinued.

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or eyes:
“The spirit of the marriage left the bedroom and took to living in the parlor.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“When he bit
that bud of her lower lip,
she started,
shook a finger,
arched her brow,
and hissed,
“Leave me alone, you fool,”
her eyes narrowing into slits.
Whoever kisses
such a haughty woman
wins the drink of immortality.
Those idiot gods
churned the ocean
for nothing.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
