Originally intended for Yvonne Elliman, it was ultimately used as part of the soundtrack to the film "Saturday Night Fever". It was a number three hit in the UK. In the U.S., it topped the "Billboard" Hot 100 on December 24, 1977 and stayed in the Top 10 for a then-record 17 weeks. The song also spent six weeks atop the U.S. adult contemporary chart.

The song was ranked #366 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Along with "Stayin' Alive", it is one of the group's two songs on the list.

The song also lists at #20 on "Billboard's All Time Top 100." [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/specials/hot100/charts/top100-titles-20.shtml]

It was famously covered by Take That for their 1996 "Greatest Hits" album, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks.

In 1983, The Bee Gees were sued by a Chicago songwriter, Ronald Selle, who claimed that the Gibb brothers stole melodic material from one of his songs, "Let It End," and used it in "How Deep Is Your Love." At first, The Bee Gees lost the case; one juror said that a factor in the jury's decision was the Gibbs' failure to introduce expert testimony rebutting the plaintiff's expert testimony that it was "impossible" for the two songs to have been written independently. However, the verdict was overturned a few months later.

Two music videos were made for this song. In one, the brothers are singing while an image of a woman shows throughout the video. Barry Gibb had his beard shaven off in this video, just like how he did for the "Night Fever" video.

In this video Barry Gibb is bearded. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M218b6I9Vs&feature=related YouTube - The Bee Gees- How Deep Is Your Love ( Melody ) ] ]
