Donna Summer the queen of disco and George Moroder were a fantastic team brings back so many great memories of my youth dancing the night away in Donna Summers trance with that majestic voice.
I heard this super lovely song way back in 1994 on cassette 📼 tape from a Billboard hit songs of 1976 and Donna Summer her song came up and I just 💞 loved it so rich so beautiful so classy.the musical arrangements are absolutely stunning matching her heavenly voice. This is one of my all time mega favorites she was so Gorgeous RIP. She left us her legacy of wonderful and amazing music Thank you
Donna Summer was such a rare talent during the early disco days. Very few female singers had the ability to sustain their career like she did- without Moroder/Bellotte she may not have survived. Brought back to America by Casablanca president Neil Bogart, she was immediately marketed as a "sex goddess" with her first American hit song "Love To Love You Baby", and he insisted she sing her songs in falsetto/upper register to give it that sexy quality that went with the marketing he created- she was advertised as "The First Lady Of Love". Even Motown/Diana Ross, who was the most popular black female singer at the time, took notice- she immediately released "Love Hangover", which was no coincidence. Donna soon grew tired of the old "pretty and sexy airhead who can sing routine" but Neil Bogart continued with that kind of marketing from 1975 to 1977. On her 1976 4th LP, FOUR SEASONS OF LOVE, he even had her pose as a black Marilyn Monroe on the back of the LP cover. Neil was to Donna, what Ahmet Ertegun was to Aretha Franklin, what Clive Davis was to Whitney Houston, etc. When they began recording Donna's 5th LP, Neil had the brilliant idea it should huge- a disco fantasy based on Tchaikovsky's SWAN LAKE and even tried to buy the rights to do so but the estate of Tchaikovsky turned them down. If anyone remembers, it was such a popular thing to do at the time- do a disco remake of a Broadway show or of show tunes, or a discofied collection of standards, etc. So they kept the imagery and fantasy and the story line became a working girl by day becomes a disco queen at night at the clubs. The result was a double LP called ONCE UPON A TIME. Around the end of the recordings, Neil Bogart was making the rounds in the studios and Giorgio played for him the iconic "I Feel Love"- Neil was so impressed he told Giorgio to quickly build a collection of songs around it and they will get it released right away. So "Once Upon A Time" was put on hold and the "I Remember Yesterday" album was recorded. They decided to make the album a collection of song styles from the 40's to the present, and have "I Feel Love" represented as the future in music. They even went so far as to use a recording mic from each era to fully capture the essence of each decade. Donna seized this opportunity to use her natural singing voice on the songs, and so it was released in early 1977 to great popularity. By the end of the year, they then released the 2 LP set- "Once Upon A Time". So that is why it seems just a tad off to have her breathy vocals from 1975-1976, then regular singing voice in early 1977, then back to breathy voice in late 1977. I know, I know, too much info. But someone out there will enjoy this trivia. Some people remember everything from their early years and some choose to forget. Your mind is like a computer: you can save or delete.

Gee the people in the video act like they are having a seizure.. If that's the way they danced in the 70's I'll pass... Love me my Donna Summer though. She is truly missed...
How is this an "official" promo video? It looks like cobbled together footage from various sources including American Bandstand and foreign. But a great song and performer.
