"Bodyguard" is a song by the Bee Gees released in 1990 as the second American single from the One album. "Bodyguard" was a cassette-only single released in early 1990. In Europe and Asia, the A-side was "Tokyo Nights" instead of "Bodyguard". In Brazil, it was "Wish You Were Here". Lead vocals are provided by Robin Gibb.
The original video was deemed too sexual and was subsequently toned down. The controversy of the video hurt airplay of the single, though it charted well in the Adult Contemporary market reaching number 9 on Billboard and number 5 on Radio & Records.[1]
