1993 single by Bee Gees
"Paying the Price of Love" is the first single from the Bee Gees` 20th studio album, Size Isn`t Everything (1993). The song was released in August 1993 by Polydor, reaching the top-10 in Belgium and Portugal, and the top-40 in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, it charted on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 74, and peaked within the top-30 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The promotional video for the song, directed by Andy Delaney and Monty Whitebloom,[2] shows the brothers performing the song as holograms on a futuristic version of MTV.
Critical reception
Alan Jones from Music Week gave the song three out of five. He wrote, "Potently re-emerging at what seems like more regular intervals than Haley`s [sic] Comet, the Bee Gees should be launched into another chart orbit by this, their first single for Polydor since the early Seventies. The brothers` sense of strong melodic material is still intact, as is Barry`s falsetto. Keith Cohen`s sparse house/jack remix should put this on the dancefloor and, with radio already taking the bait, a substantial hit is not out of the question."[3]
