"Come on Over" is a ballad written by Barry and Robin Gibb and recorded by the Bee Gees for their album Main Course. Lead vocals were done by Robin and joined by Barry in the chorus of the song. A live version was recorded in Los Angeles during their Children of the World Tour and appeared on their first live album Here at Last...Bee Gees...Live. The song was more reminiscent of the Bee Gees older style compared to the new R&B sound they introduced on Jive Talkin' and Nights on Broadway. This song would become a #1 adult contemporary hit for Olivia Newton-John but in 1976.
