– In this song, the Bee Gees find a new way to express their abiding love, telling the lady that nobody gets too much heaven, so they should be together always.
About The Song
- The Bee Gees donated royalties from this song, estimated to be at least $7 million, to UNICEF. Along with Donna Summer, John Denver, Abba, and a few other big names, they pledged a song as part of the Music For Unicef Concert on January 9, 1979, held at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. Their song, “Too Much Heaven,” ended up being the #1 hit in America that week and the centerpiece of the show, which aired as a primetime special on NBC the next evening. It was later included on the soundtrack album.
- The horn section from the band Chicago played on this track, reciprocating for the Bee Gees singing on the 1978 Chicago song “Little Miss Lovin’” along with Chicago vocalist Peter Cetera.
