Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor, who died in 2011, was a pioneering advocate for the LGBTQ Community long before it became fashionable to do so. As fate would have it, three of Taylor's dearest friends were closeted gay male Hollywood icons: Montgomery Clift, James Dean, and Rock Hudson. All three men died in tragic ways. Hudson died from AIDS in 1985, while Clift and Dean died in a very eerily similar manner: in car accidents.

By 1973, the Bee Gees’ career had hit a low. After a series of hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s, including "To Love Somebody," "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," and "I Started a Joke," the band was in a rut.Their latest album, “Life in a Tin Can,” and single “Saw a New Morning" sold poorly, and the band’s popularity declined. On April 6, 1973, the Gibb brothers (Barry, Robin and Maurice) appeared on “The Midnight Special,” a late-night TV show that aired on Saturday mornings at 1 a.m. after “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.” Given the lukewarm reception to their recent releases, the Bee Gees decided to change things up and play a medley of hits from their idols, The Beatles, who had broken up 3 years before.The performance, which featured 5 of the Fab Four’s early hits, including “If I Fell,” “I Need You,” “I'll Be Back,” “This Boy,” and “She Loves You,” was a stripped-down, acoustic performance that highlighted the Bee Gees' trademark harmonies.
