This album, released in September 1976, is often considered a prelude to the Bee Gees' deeper foray into the disco genre, which would reach its peak with the soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever the following year. In fact, the iconic "You Should Be Dancing," one of the lead singles from Children of the World, also featured on that soundtrack. The recording of this album spanned from January to May 1976, encompassing sessions in Miami and at Le Studio in Quebec. Several singles emerged from this work that resonated on the charts: "You Should Be Dancing" reached number one in the United States and Canada, while "Love So Right" and "Boogie Child" also achieved prominent positions. The album, which combined elements of R&B and disco, was reissued on CD in 2006.
