What was the B-side of the Bee Gees' 1975 single 'Jive Talkin'?

“What was the B-side of the Bee Gees’ 1975 single ‘Jive Talkin’?” — “Wind of Change.” The Bee Gees released “Wind of Change” on the B-side of the “Jive Talkin’” single through RSO Records in May 1975.

Both songs came from the Bee Gees’ Miami recording period and were associated with the album Main Course. “Jive Talkin’” marked a dramatic shift toward funk, rhythm and blues, and disco, helping revive the group’s commercial fortunes after several quieter years. The song later became a centerpiece of the Bee Gees’ disco-era identity.

The title “Jive Talkin’” began as “Drive Talkin’.” Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb shaped its rhythmic feel around the sound of their car crossing Miami’s 163rd Street Causeway on the way to Criteria Studios. Producer Arif Mardin helped turn that idea into the polished groove heard on the record.

Listeners sometimes confuse “Wind of Change” with the unrelated Scorpions power ballad of the same name from 1991. The Bee Gees recording predates it by 16 years and is a distinct 1975 funk-disco track.
