Stephen Stills played bass on its original demo. It was not used until `` Too Much Heaven '' was released, as `` Rest Your Love on Me '' was chosen as the B - side. As a country song it did not fit in with what the Bee Gees were putting on their albums, even though they continued to write the occasional country song, like `` Where Do I Go '', also left off the forthcoming album. Release By itself, it reached # 39 on the country charts in the United States, their only appearance in the Country Top 40 as artists ( though Barry and Maurice also performed and played on 1983 's country chart - topping `` Islands in the Stream '' ). The single was a double A in the United Kingdom, France, Scandinavia, Ireland and in Belgium. Later in 1979 it was included in the compilation album Bee Gees Greatest, which rose # 1 on the Billboard album charts. The Osmonds, themselves beginning a transition from a pop / rock band to country music, recorded the song under Maurice Gibb 's direction shortly before the Bee Gees released their version, but not released until afterward. In January 1979, Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton - John would perform it at the Music for UNICEF show, the first time most people heard it.
