Introduction
Heartbreaker: A Bee Gees’ Unreleased Gem
“Heartbreaker” is a captivating track by the legendary Bee Gees that, despite its undeniable quality, remained relatively unknown to the public for years. Composed by the Gibb brothers, the song was originally conceived as a potential hit for the iconic Dionne Warwick. Released as a single in 1982, Warwick’s version soared up the charts, solidifying its status as a contemporary pop classic.
Interestingly, the Bee Gees themselves recorded a version of “Heartbreaker” which, while equally impressive, was ultimately shelved. It wasn’t until years later that the band’s fervent fans were finally granted the opportunity to hear their interpretation, included as a bonus track on the compilation album “Their Greatest Hits: The Record.” This belated release allowed listeners to fully appreciate the Bee Gees’ signature harmonies and intricate musical arrangements, showcasing their timeless talent even beyond their most commercially successful era.
