The story behind

Boogie Child, according to DoReSol

When you dive into Boogie Child, you encounter a rhythm that invites you to move, an energy that grabs you from the first beat. It's one of those tracks that makes you feel the music in your body, and it's no coincidence. Critics at the time described it as the Bee Gees' funkiest single to date, highlighting very crisp instrumentation and emotionally charged choruses. Its vibe was even compared to that of The Ohio Players, giving you an idea of its rhythmic imprint.

This song was the last to be recorded for the album Children of the World, released in early 1977 as a single accompanied by Lovers. Interestingly, in the United Kingdom, Boogie Child was released as the B-side to the track Children of the World. The recording of this song, which took place on May 6, 1976, at Le Studio in Quebec, was a collaborative effort between brothers Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, and Maurice Gibb as composers, and the production team that included Barry Gibb, Albhy Galuten, and Karl Richardson. This latter production team marked the beginning of a very fruitful period for the Bee Gees.
