The Bee Gee's - "Paying The Price of Love"

The Bee Gee's were a little ahead of the times when they released "Paying the Price of Love" in 1993 (that's right, re-read that sentence again).  With a drum beat much like Elton John's "The Simple Life" and a synthesizer sound that Britney Spears would later use "...Baby One More Time", the song plugged along.  Internationally, "Paying The Price of Love" was a hit, but domestically the only stations to touch The Bee Gee's were Adult Contemporary radio stations.  Unfortunately, the result was a song that never broke through--charting only as high as #74 on the Hot 100.
