Still Waters is the Bee Gees' nineteenth original album, released in March, 1997 (see 1997 in music). The album was a complex project. In 1995 the Gibb brothers created a ballad compilation called "Love Songs" with some new recordings. The album was rejected, and the new songs were included on a new studio album. The Bee Gees recorded new songs between 1996 and 1997, and the new album was finally released, in March 1997. The result of 3 years of recordings was their biggest hit in over fifteen years, supported by very positive reviews. The album sold over 5 million copies worldwide, peaking at #2 in the UK charts and reaching #11 in the United States. The Bee Gees made the album with a variety of top producers, including Russ Titelman, David Foster, Hugh Padgham, and Arif Mardin. The first single of the album, "Alone" was a worldwide hit, peaking at #5 in the UK and #28 in the United States. "I Could Not Love You More" and "Still Waters Run Deep" also reached the UK Top 20.
In 2003 Robin Gibb re-recorded "My Lover's Prayer" as a duet with Alistair Griffin. This reached #5 in the UK charts as a double A-side single with Griffin's solo recording of Bring It On. It also appears on Griffin's debut album Bring It On which reached #12 in the UK album charts.
