This is the most influential dance song of all time and one of the most influential songs for modern music. All house music and dance pop music was inspired by this masterpiece
You know I Feel Love was on one of Donna's theme albums. I Remember Yesterday Day. It takes you through a musical journey from the Big Bands era to the girl groups ( The Supremes ) to rock of the 1960's . A lame disco song and then I Feel Love to represent the FUTURE !
This is the unmistakable sound of disco king Giorgio Moroder who is an Italian composer, songwriter, and record producer. Dubbed the "Father of Disco", Moroder is credited with pioneering euro disco and electronic dance music. His work with synthesizers had a large influence on several music genres such as Hi-NRG, Italo disco, new wave, house and techno music. This song will pop up later in your Madonna journey.
I think Moroder's influence can never be under-estimated. I'd say he influenced synth pop too. He along with a handful of others like Kraftwerk and Brian Eno were pushing boundaries back then. I believe Moroder's work on I Feel Love was the equivalent of rocket fuel that changed music forever. I mean - can you imagine what this would have sounded like back then ? mind blowing.
@@coachtomas I was 12 when this song came out and you are correct Sir...it was mind blowing!!! Should have been as big of a hit here in the U.S. as it was in the U.K.
Moroder together with Pete Belotte, Keith Forsey, Juergen and Harold Faltemeyer (and ofcourse Donna) changed the face of music. They were all major players in the sounds they recorded. And let's not forget the Moog engineer who created this bassline for Moroder while explaining how the moog worked.
Her Real name was LaDonna Adrian Gaines. Her professional name was Ms' Donna Summers', my brother and his wife went to the same church she did in Nashville, Tennessee in the 90's ! she sat right near my brother and his wife ! They said she sang like an angel !
Donna was always beautiful (RIP) like you lol. She was the queen of disco and ahead of her time, too. Incorporated early techno and new wave in lots of her music. Great voice and dancer.
I’ll be damned if cancer never dies forever!! It took Donna from the world 😢. And so many. I get emotional with Donna. Her life was cut so short by that damn disease! God help us!
Donna does it again! ;) She actually did all the vocals in this studio recording. They're just layered over each other. Any live performances, obviously, the backup singers would back her but, you're hearing all Donna here :) Thanks for the reaction!!!
@@antjohnson3 Thank you! Have you heard just the backing vocals by themselves? I ran across it once here on TH-cam. Amazing! Thanks again antjohnson3 ;)
MIAMOR MERESES TODO AQUELLO QUE SIEMPRE HAS SOÑADO...ERES MARAVILLOSA JAMÁS LO OLVIDES...RECUERDA QUE LA GRANDEZA ES LA SIMPLEZA...TIENES UN PARAÍSO A TÚ ALREDEDOR ...ABRAZO..
Empress, thanks for reacting to two of my Patron picks in one day...I FEEL LOVE!!! This song is beyond MAJOR! I rarely go by a day without listening to Donna Summer, she gives me EVERYTHING I need.
Hey Joe...u gave me the abbreviation to use for fuk....F. And hey hope youre in Mexico where u should be and not in the lousy....specifically paradise Puerto Vallarta where I am...Mr. Garcia.
This track scared me as a kid because I had no idea how the sounds were being made. There is a very interesting version made with Marc Almond of Soft Cell fame and Jimmy Somerville of Bronski Beat and the Communards.
@@chrisharris6206 you have to remember in the UK in the early seventies most music was acoustic. As a kid I learned what a piano was, what a guitar was. But there was the very weird stuff coming from people like Delia Derbyshire and Daphne Oram and then Wendy Carlos and then this. It was utterly alien. Now almost all instruments are digital or heavily processed. Even voices.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song! Such a classic disco sound and, of course, the AMAZING Donna Summer vocals! I love everything this talented and beautiful lady does. Thanks for reacting Empress! I can never get enough of Donna Summer! ✌🏻🙂✌🏻
Synth genius Giorgio Moroder and that ethereal vocal from Donna Summer. Pure transcendent disco magic. It makes you feel high just listening to it, the way music can take you to another place ✨
This came out shortly after synthesizers were invented thanks to microchips and nothing like this had ever been heard before. Prior to this there had only been 8 track and electronic organs, it was revolutionary and help lead to the eighties techno-pop boom
To my mind, the Disco era finished on this song... it was out in the UK at same time as the Sex Pistols (punk band). Such an amazing track... the woman's a diva! 😏 🇬🇧
40+ years later and this song is still sauce. Break out the strobe lights and the roller skates! But when it comes to sexy, you gotta check out the 17 minute version of Donna Summer "Love to Love You Baby"...
The show she was on was The Midnight Special which was one of The Top Music Shows on TV from 1973-1981. This was before Infomercials came on The Scene. It was next to American Bandstand & Soul Train the Three top Music shows to do. What made the show so amazing is that it featured every musical genre. Country/Rock/Pop/R & B. It was also the Show that Jermaine Jackson made his Solo Debut on after leaving The Jackson Five.
Also keep in mind that Donna Summer (Born Ladonna Gaines) in Boston, MA, was the daughter of a Preacher who sang in Church. She later moved to Germany and did the Musical Hair as a Chorusgirl. Her breakthrough hit was "Love To Love You Baby", but with Giorgio Moroder's help she became at one point next to Diana Ross, the biggest Black Female Star in the world. Giorgio Moroder's influence was also felt in Motion Pictures like Midnight Express & American Gigolo. At The American Music Awards she made History by winning for Pop/Soul/Disco Star (Female). She also made History by being the only substitute Host on American Bandstand where she was at her peak with "Last Dance" from The Disco Flop "Thank God It's Friday". It was written by the Late Paul Jabara who sadly enough died of AIDS. She was misquoted saying AIDS was a punishment from God and that really upset the LGBT Community since she was such an Icon. She had to do a Press Conference to set the record "Straight" so to speak. In later years she left Casablanca and went to Geffen Records. She became a Born Again Christian and did other songs like Love Is In Control, and She Works Hard For The Money that was sung by Spartacaus Agador in The Birdcage. She also did a Duet with The UK Group Musical Youth that were once called The Jackson Five Of England. She also became an Artist.
This song and what Kraftwerk were doing was so far ahead of their time..this song is still a banger over 40 years after it was released.. And it still will be in another 20 years
This is a history-making song. This song by Donna and her producer Giorgio Moroder are credited with being pioneers in starting Electronic Dance Music (EDM). Her 70's music had a lot of electronica, but this sound had never been heard before. This video has the original recording, with edited video from an appearance on Midnight Special..people still love and dance to this hypnotic song. The background singers are her sisters, but again, this is the original album version
Fabulous- the Patrick Crowley mixes are supreme though- glad you are enjoying Donna - the most important black female artist of the last 50 years- she broke down so many barriers.Techno and electronica owe her and Moroder their lives.
I know! But being black and so fabulous was difficult in the 1970's - if you know what I mean? Donna was really the first black female superstar who broke the mould - so good, that nothing could resist her. In her time she was the biggest star in the world...just hit after hit after hit. Nothing could stop her. TRY ME I KNOW WE CAN MAKE IT was one of my favourites.♥
There are many great disco songs, but this is THE disco song. A timeless classic. Donna definitely brings the VO-CALS, and huge shoutout to the background and to Giorgio Moroder on keys. Madonna sang it live along with her song Future Lovers as the opening song in her Confessions Tour.
One of my very favorites by her. So. When do we get the great and sexy "Love To Love You Baby" by The Queen? If The Queen had lived she is another (aside for Luther) who I would have loved to have heard do an entire Bacharach/David album. RIP to the greatest the dance floor had ever seen.
There's a before, and an after I Feel Love, when it comes to pop and dance music. I was a child when it came out, and i remember riding in the back of the car at night in the late 70s looking out at the distant lights and, not knowingly, having my first experience with aesthetic arrest. Im 52 going to 53 and i remember it like it was yesterday.
Empress, Thank you for reacting. I love this song Donna Summer is an amazing vocalist and Girorgio Moroder set the sage for eletcronic music. I never get tried of listening,
Donna will always bbe the most beautiful woman ever to walk the earth, inside and outside... she was special. A very christian woman, doing what she did, but she hated it to be such a sex symbol
I'm a guitar rocker so disco was not my thing....HOWEVER..Donna Summer's world class voice was both impressively controlled yet totally seductive at the same time. R and B...FUNK, but sung by Donna in an other worldly vocal style that sounds weirdly tribal and trippy at the same time. Very funky tune. Vey captivating singer. RIP Donna.
This is the most influential dance song of all time and one of the most influential songs for modern music. All house music and dance pop music was inspired by this masterpiece
Song has been out nearly 50 years old and still sounds futuristic!
💯
Moroder + Summer always equals dance ✨magic ✨. Donna's voice is so versatile, dynamic and commanding.
Classic !! This song was light years ahead of its time and in my opinion was the foundation for EDM
Not your opinion.. kinda a basic fact haha
You know I Feel Love was on one of Donna's theme albums. I Remember Yesterday Day. It takes you through a musical journey from the Big Bands era to the girl groups ( The Supremes ) to rock of the 1960's . A lame disco song and then I Feel Love to represent the FUTURE !
Donna - real name LaDonna - one of the greatest of ALL TIME. and this song is everything.
She was a force of nature before any of the 80’s 90’s great females. Donna is a Queen!
🔥🔥🔥
No mostly in the 70s
Our eternal Disco Queen!!!! 💫
Madonna, Duran Duran, New Order and countless others have been influenced and seduced by this, one of the greatest songs ever.

You mean the Moog synthesizer, as a seventies child you had to get used t it at first, love it.💯💯💯😆

So far ahead of its time. 1977 and considered to be techno. Dance heaven! And the anthem "I Feel Love" you can shout out on the dance floor!
🔥🔥
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song! Such a classic disco sound and, of course, the AMAZING Donna Summer vocals! I love everything this talented and beautiful lady does. Thanks for reacting Empress! I can never get enough of Donna Summer!

This song was revolutionary! It was all over the radio! I remember well...!!
sooo 🔥

this song feeds your spirit. disco love.
It's electronic, yet it sounds sensual and spiritual to me.

I always found it amazing that New Wave and EDM were basically invented by a black R&B singer and an Italian disco producer...
You got a voice empress
Wow thanks ‼️
Thank you for doing Donna videos. Keep them coming. The best is yet to come !
Oh, I forgot all about this song. Just love it. Donna Summer was so great. RIP.

Iconic music! Too bad you didn't have headphones on. NOW THAT IS TRIPPY!!
There is a "trippy" remix.. 🙂

Thanks for sharing! Now try this mash up!! th-cam.com/video/ktMDEShQuOY/w-d-xo.html
You actually got a fine singing voice yourself :-) ... pitch perfect
wow thank u!!
I think this song actually debuted at studio54
Also, Madonna sampled this in one of her tours. Wait for it 😉
This song and what Kraftwerk were doing was so far ahead of their time..this song is still a banger over 40 years after it was released.. And it still will be in another 20 years

I normally listen to the radio edit. But this one was great also! Ahhhhhh. Props to who requested it!
Madonna does this on the Confessions tour.
😳😳😳Can't wait to see it ‼
You need to add shout out to that keyboard dude holding that time throughout the song. Thats live music.
This was 78 or 77. They say this song started Disco
Empress...tell me if you get this...you have to the longer versions of all of her songs!
Do more Donna!
If patrons request I will😁

before Madonna there was La Donna and still is the Queen of Disco
Empress , you need to check out Madonna's Live Concert - Future Lovers/I Feel Love opening song... She does awesome cover of this song!!
Donna Summer did reach way out there for this sound
There's a before, and an after I Feel Love, when it comes to pop and dance music.
I was a child when it came out, and i remember riding in the back of the car at night in the late 70s looking out at the distant lights and, not knowingly, having my first experience with aesthetic arrest.
Im 52 going to 53 and i remember it like it was yesterday.
I thought we’d lost you for a minute there. 😆
David Bowie really like this song. I like it too! Sam Smith re-did this and Target used it in a commercial.
Great song - Madonna covered part of this in her Confessions Tour.
Classic song! When this came out had never heard anything like it! So good!
Empress, Thank you for reacting. I love this song Donna Summer is an amazing vocalist and Girorgio Moroder set the sage for eletcronic music. I never get tried of listening,
You’ll love opening of Confessions Tour!! Long way to go, but keep this song in mind😜
SUMMER + MORODER = 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
💯💯
Blue Man Group does a very high energy cover of this live, with the vocalist for Venus Hum - Annette Strean - doing vocals. Well worth checking out.
A big part of Madonna journey in the future Empress. That's all imma say unless you in the know.
Donna will always bbe the most beautiful woman ever to walk the earth, inside and outside... she was special. A very christian woman, doing what she did, but she hated it to be such a sex symbol
React to "Come to Me" by France Joli: music video.
Check out Sam Smith's cover. He does this song and Donna justice!
Empress....u had to have heard this?
💗💓Georgio Moroder💓💗
If you're not movin you re dead or a zombie

Music by King Giorgio Moroder and Lyrics by Pete Bellotte and Donna Summer
Hmu.
In real life, she was pretty much a reserved religious girl!
I jive thee, not.

R and B...FUNK, but sung by Donna in an other worldly vocal style that sounds weirdly tribal and trippy at the same time. Very funky tune. Vey captivating singer. RIP Donna.
