Introduction:
“Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)” is a song by the Bee Gees released in 1976 as the third single from their album Main Course.
The song is known for its soulful melody and Barry Gibb’s distinctive vocals. It peaked at number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 2 in Canada.
Interestingly, according to Maurice Gibb, the song’s title was inspired by their housecleaner at the time. While working on the album, the brothers were sitting in the lounge at Criteria Studios in Miami when they came up with the lyric idea, “Be tender with my love.” Maurice then suggested using the name of their housecleaner, “Fanny,” as the song’s title.
“Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)” is considered one of the Bee Gees’ signature songs and remains a popular track among their fans.
