Donna Summer ~ I Feel Love 1977 Disco Purrfection Version
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ม.ค. 2019
- The Billboard chart for the week ending August 6, 1977 had Andy Gibb's "I Just Want To Be Your Everything" at #1, Bill Conti's #1 "Gonna Fly Now" had dropped to #47 and The Brothers Johnson "Strawberry Letter #23" was on its way up at #34. The top new entry that week was Meco's future #1 hit "Theme From Star Wars" at #71.
There were eleven other new songs that week and at #86 was this groundbreaking electronic disco tune from Donna Summer. It was the coda for her latest LP "I Remember Yesterday" which pretty much summed up pop music from the 40's to the future with each era having a song on the album. This song's unmistakable intro of a rising synthesizer and at the crescendo, a dizzying array of layered synthesized sounds burst out of the radio at me that late spring. It started just as i got to the pharmacy and I had to turn off the car and listen to the whole thing while my sister waited digging the groove.
Hypnotizing and mesmerizing, it was a watershed moment in pop history. Disco historians and critics both agree that "I Feel Love" is the birth of EDM (Electronic Dance Music), courtesy of Giorgio Moroder, Pete Bellotte and Donna Summer. Summer's voice and Keith Forsey's kick drum are the ONLY elements not created by a computer. Moroder had this idea for a song using oscillators to create a sonic disco experience and brought it to Summer. She said, "Giorgio brought me this popcorn track and I said 'What the hell is this, Giorgio?" The "popcorn" she was referring to was the 1972 single by Hot Butter, an early song that used the Moog Synthesizer to great effect that replicated the sound of popcorn popping and syncopating it with the electronic beats and bass. She finished the song "as a joke" not realizing the impact it was going to have.
Summer notes that she knew the song was about the groove and that too many vocals would get in the way, so Pete Belotte wrote simple lyrics and she sang the song as if she were in a romantic reverie in her ice princess soprano and it fit perfectly. It was not considered for commercial release, and was relegated to the B side of "Can't We Sit Down And Talk It Over". DJ reaction was much stronger for the B side and Casablanca re-released the single with "I Feel Love" as the A side.
Peaking at #4 disco and #6 pop in the US, it topped the UK charts for four weeks. Its influence never wavered and in 1982 Patrick Cowley, an ex-lighting man and neophyte disco producer made a name for himself with his astonishing nearly 16 minute remix that actually improved on the original.
For this version I have edited together the original 12" version, the hard to find instrumental version and finish off with Patrick Cowley's remixed version for 27 minutes of disco heaven. I spent more money trying to find a pristine vinyl copy of the Patrick Cowley remix from 1982, acquiring FIVE copies and finally found one that was crystal clear...I hope you keep with the whole trip here... - เพลง

Donna Summer is the only artist who could get away with 15-30 minutes tracks that keep listeners captivated from the first to the last note. Incredible talented and sexy woman who had a great production team. RIP Queen

Agreed! In fact I wish the tracks were longer :)
It’s all Giorgio
Futuristic ❤ thanks Morder Summer Queen 👑 of Disco ❤ ❤ ❤ To this day, it is the most modern piece ever made, the precursor of techno and house music 🎶
I use to dance to Disco Music at Discotects 3 to 6 hours a night. Good memories I can still remember going to them..I am 65 years old now.
I was 13years old when this song came out this is when music was good
I just want to know who's listening to this piece of ART now .. June 2023!!
A masterpiece that will live for ever!!! I salute You Mrs. Summer!
Пошел в сраку. Русский слушал и всегда слушать будет. 💥
Мне 58,я из России, г. Владимир. Слушаем инаслаздаемся, и будем слушать-это наша молодость, бары и дискотеки. Вообще мисс Саммер-супер❤❤❤❤❤❤
Я 63 всё ок,мы в тренде. 😊😊😊❤❤❤

75. Donna is my favorite!
Yes!!! 30 min. of non stop Love from The queen of disco.
This song gave birth to house music and beyond ❤
The beginnings of House Music
Nice. I was too young to understand in 1977, being just 10 years old. Thanks for the back story in the description.
It is quite simply impossible to overstate the importance of this song. It is arguably the single most revolutionary piece of music (of any kind) in the last half century.
❤
Made HER! ❤️❤️
@@47404740I think it defined the era 🎉
The queen 👑 vivirá siempre
Yes it is!!!!
I was a twenty-year-old yupster when “I Feel Love” made the Top-40 in 1977, and even then it sounded like it came from the future. I am now listening to DiscoCat’s magnificent refreshment of Donna Summer’s very own Song of Songs. I never knew that Patrick Crowley accomplished his own 15-minute remix in 1982. It’s included here, along with the original album cut and the instrumental version. DiscoCat came up with a masterpiece against which other mixes by rival DJs must be measured. I listened all the way through, that’s why I believe that Donna Summer and Patrick Crowley are smiling down from heaven.
I danced away to this in the 1970s in South Africa. On top of the glass Raffles Nightclub Maharani hotel in Durban, a glass outside lift up to the top floor, we could see through the coloured glass floor down to the ground as we were dancing! What a life!
This the very BEST version of extended "I feel Love" I have subscribed for more thanx.
This is the best dance song of all time. To Giovanni Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer: thank you for the music and the memories.
I've never heard this version. Music is ahead of its time. With her voice, this destroys any dance song in clubs today!
I am a hard rock and metal lover but I have to admit that this is the best record from the seventies. Still fresh and unique 40 odd years on. Play loud through a sub or good headphones. Heaven.
Fair play Peter. I was into punk/rock and disco in the late seventies. Took some shit but eclectic can be rewarding.
tru dat
I admit, I liked this because of it's pulsating sound. I loved music but mostly is the sound and the beat. Never fade the listening pleasure.
I'm 52 , an Aussie meathead from years ago but thanks to a glass BBQ one night, I agree
I first heard this in 1980 during stayong with my sister-in-law Surrey, England after returning from South Africa. A lovely man called Terry introduced me to it one night in Boxhill.
Most important song ever will set the stage for about everything we listen to today
Donna Summer was a stratospheric singer who probably will never be equalled in our lifetime. She is famous for her genre changing songs but her talents were truly extraordinary!!
In terms of musical styles she was like a human Encyclopaedia / Google search engine. She covered the complete spectrum of music.
Listen to "Don't cry for me Argentina" If that doesn't move you then your heart ain't beating. RIP Donna ...
Awesome really thank you!!!!!!!!!!!😄😊😃😁
We're doing a show next year entitled 'The History of Electronica' and this starts it ... 🙏💖🎧💥💥🥳
I paid 30 bucks for the Patrick Cowley mix back in 2000. Ebay was only 5 years old, but pictures had been added. I have never paid more for a song, but it's worth it. When i play it for someone who has never heard it, they freak. This is my all time favorite song ever recorded. I was 7 and came home from the 4th grade and Mom had this blasting on the old home stereo. I walked in and just sat on the floor and they had to get me my own copy of I Remember Yesterday and Live and More so they didn't have to play it for me all of the time. This mix is on my phone, and i used to listen to it when i could drive. Now it plays in the background in whatever I'm;' doing in my day.
You were 7 in the 4th grade? 😂😂😂
WTF are you even talking about?@@immaruwebster1812
This kind of music needs to come back, it will save this country
Should have blasted it during the insurrection.
@David Ryan Just checked Todd Terje, great stuff, thanks for the tip
Salvaria el mundo! Save the world!
AGREE
Вряд ли ...
I was born in 71 this song still remains absolutely the best futuristic song ever and still to this day sounds new and more than holds up
She really knew how to use her voice to accommodate GIORGIO’s music ! She created a certain unique magical SUPER DISCO MUSIC OF ALL TIME. NO ONE ON THIS PLANET COULD POSSIBLY RECREATE THIS WOMAN’s VOICE! I’m out of words!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Джорджио и Донна это лучшее, они очень крутые и сейчас
27/01/2024...this is an eternal hit, can't get enough of it...
Top remix, thanks for sharing...❤
L♡VE to the 70's! good vibes!!!nowadays music ain't got that same soul anymore..❤💫💃
Created with 1970s computer technology and a whole lot of soul. Resonates across the decades and time forever
I'm almost 64 and memories from the past give me this song, at that time in a small village in the Netherlands life was and still is BEAUTIFULL.....
Excellent post. You have cracked it. Most people make the mistake of concentrating on their own circumstances, which are variable and constantly changing as people age. Instead, we should remember that which is stable and unchanging, the fact that life is beautiful. This can lead to deeper considerations, of course!
I just turned 64 and love this.
you live in the 6th happiest country in the world.
@@louisadrill7060 exactly.
I just turned 63 and twice this week I've had the best 30 minutes of my life. Thanks to Cat, Donna, Giorgio & Patrick Cowley.
"MUSIC IS LIFE" that's why your heart has a beat !
Doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing- listening to this sends me on a mad high
So true, I am happy to use this video as my exercise regimes. It's hypnotic and europhic. BLESS.
This is my meditation song.
Pace e Love for ever
Giorgio Moroder Principe della Disco Dance
Oh this is so part of my trance mode for ever even!!!
You can definitely see why she was the Queen of Disco. This is a timeless classic. Play this version at any club it's bound to fill the floor
It's fun and freaky to play at different speeds... mowing the lawn or exercise... endorphins!!!!🙏🏼👍🏼😎
Or strobe light living room dancing 🤓🤘🔥
Эх

I can recall the summer of 77, I was 15 at the time, when this blasted out of the speakers. Hearing it for the first time was mind blowing as it was totally different....still sounds great today
Same here, 15 and blasting this song. And all Donna Summer songs for that matter. ❤👍
But you are grandfather now .. im 7 years only lol lol lol
I cant imagine! 😆
I was 19 & closeted. Donna Summer made me come out and feel love!
I was 10 in 1977, l remember my sister had the Donna Summer album & used to play it all the time.
Donna Summer…beautiful, talented, absolute perfection. Miss this gorgeous woman 💃🏽🕺🏽
ich bin bereits 73 Jahre und höre mir dieses edle Meisterwerk immer wieder an... Danke Donna da oben im Pophimmel 😍👍
I remember dancing to this song in 1977 in New York club 57 with my polyester pants and platform shoes. Wish I could go back in time.
Me too, only I was wearing jeans and Frye boots.
Please don't make me jealous that I was too little and young to be let into the club. How I envied my slightly older cousins who could attend!
Can I come please?
Both me and you go back in time. Me in london Hippodrome -you in usa 🇺🇸dancing and sweating it out and giving it all. Yes.. those were the years and to date no one can ever beat this beats
@@mls6684 Lived right through it! Just out of high school! Led Zeppflin. Kiss. Just all forms of rich music and cultures on the dance floor. We were just having fun being teenagers and young adults. LOL Even Mom and my aunts got on the dance floor!Soul Train and Band Stand! Steele Pier? Then came Gangsta Rap. The rest is history!
Jesus Christ. I need a shower after this! I've never been musically edged like this before!
I find your description (of this song) to be spot-on. Happy New Year!
MobileRDS, K want a time machine too!
🤣🤣🤣
I love ❤️ disco music 🎶 and I will always love it 😍
En esa época yo era un adolescente tenía 13 años, acabo de cumplir 60, recuerdo cuando mi hermana cumplió 15 años, y mandaron traer un grupo, de esos grupos de música de tertulias que iban a tu casa a poner música disco para bailar, era de un amigo de mi hermano y también eran amigos míos, la música de Donna Summer era la mejor, esa si era música de verdad, gracias a esa bella ángel Donna por regalarnos, y dejarnos está bella música, que es su legado que nos dejó, esa música ya no se hace...!! Que tiempos aquellos, nada más oigo está hermosa rola, y me trae tan bonitos recuerdos de aquella época..!! Dicen que recordar es vivir..!! Excelente video,..!!
Es correcto.
Iconic track. I loved Donne Summer.
I was only 4 years old, I couldn't understand the different types of music. But when my sister came home with this record I was mesmerized, hypnotized!! this magical sound entered me. This was "my music" I realized that only electronic music (and then rock too) would give me the right energy. The rest doesn't matter! Thanks a lot Donna Summer & Giorgino Moroder
There's only one Queen forever and ever: Donna Summer. God has given us the best gift after our loved ones. Her music and memories will live forever.
Coolest version ever.
Terrific!! Nobody got more people on the dance floor than Donna Summer!!
Bee Gees did buddy boy
And madonna
@@renaldschembri5175 Without a doubt!! And I find it was more than just the tracks they were laying out! Their sex appeal was on a level, very few couldn't even come close to replicating it without it looking forced in my mind. You either got it Or you don't, I thought once there was another, she was the niece of Dionne Warwick (Whitney Houston). But sometimes it's just not in the cards. It's tragic that to this day. It's all I can say about that. Well, life goes on, I wish you all. No matter what you celebrate. To do it with the ones you LOVE.....PIECE!!
That is why she is the queen of Disco. RIP Donna, you are missed.
And the longer the mix, the more we sweated, making all feel so sexy. Fond memories.
No dirty word, no nasty move, no stripper, just the beauty voice, we want more stuffs like this
Yes You get it.
STILL REMAINS THE BEST DISCO TRACK EVER
When I was 10 years old I was obsessed with Donna Summer. I had her Bad Girls album and played it over and over and over again up in my room. My best friend would come and listen also. I knew all the words to every song. I wanted to be her. ♥️💕
you have it in your name donna🤣👍🏻
I truly loved her too. I remembered a school friend who used to look like Donna Summer and because of her resemblance, I befriended her and were friends for a long while. She was slim ,tall and skinny and she used to enjoy me calling her Donna Summer. I am mesmerized by this song...REST IN PEACE, BEAUTIFUL LADY..
You were her in your mind.
I still have my vinyl Bad Girls album! Played it all the time when I got it in '79!
when i was 12, i would play this 45 really loud so that you could hear it from the street. lived on a block where a bunch of kids my age lived. The song had just came out and no one heard of it yet. People would come by and ask who and what is that.. you have to imagine a world without EDM and then hearing this song. it was really decades ahead of its time. they would ask to play it again and again. this is a great mix. staying true to the original.....its also very nice to see you know your pop / billboard history. i think music history should be a course all younger kids should learn. great job!!!
Wow! That is such a cool story about 1977 and I Feel Love. I agree the sound and lyrics were way ahead of it's time. I'm glad that Donna/Giorgio and Bellotte were innovators and recognized that they had to record this masterpiece. It open the doors for techno and EDM. Most music fans love to cast Donna Summer as only a disco artist. However, she was much more than Disco and this song is living proof. See how this song has stood the test of time! Wow!
Oh yes, it's real livefeeling. I'm 58 years old. I ❤ the song too a I was young.
PAWsome! We did the same thing (lol). Timeless music!
Correct. Music = Art, and Art history is a subject in school.
@@Paul_MuadDib This song takes me all the way back to when I was 16 years old - except back then the radio stations would only play the 5:53 minute version, and (at least here in parts of Canada) the discos would only play the 8:00 minute "Extended" version. Now, at almost 60 I listen to this on my daily commute and it makes life a little bit nicer.
Donna Summer is alive and well and living in our heart.
Donna Summer is completely, really dead. //Living in smbds hearts// - scientifically not. But this vibes still sexy (:
absolutely!
Oui, absolument!
Amen to that!
I take these words from you dear. You can say it again.
I'll always remember the exact moment I heard this track and it still gives me the chills. I was 7 years old. Thank you Giorgio and Donna and all who made this sound frequency timeless.
THAT'S SO COOL, SLOPE Fx. I was 12. Feels like yesterday. Fernando here.
What a track.
Im in benidorm singing drifters and listen to this track everyday.....esoecially b4 singing.
I love everything about this track and listening to it now at 5:30am.
God bless her, May she rest in peace
Word life me too!
Yep me too. Born in '69
Feeling all of that sister!❤❤❤
Another awesome tune from an amazing time, thanks for this. I was lucky to be born in 1962 and when disco came about I was in my top dancing form, boogieing the night and day away while collectiing tons of Vinyl, which I still have and play to this day. I have the original Donna Summer - I Feel Love on 12" which sounds amazing, as did all Donna Summer's tracks, especially on 12" and yes, I have the Patrick Cowley version of I feel Love too on 12" ... Boy did I sweat loads dancing non-stop to that amazing tune. Fantastic times when dance and great music ruled the world ;-)
Alright now i hear you ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Me too. Still have over 1000 vinyls. I got the one-sided Casablanca 12" on import as soon as I could back then, but was disappointed that it was merely the 5mins 7" single with a 50% extension added from the middle part onwards -- something I was doing as a DJ anyway.
30 minutes of I Feel Love? Yes, please
Fell in love with donna summer at 10 - 11 years old ..... Still in love with donna summer at 52 , and beyond .....
Ten year old me says, back off she's mine.
Me too at the same age, am 54 years now, thanks.
Know the feeling! Me too, still in love with Donna at 52!
i was 7
I was born 1963 this was my teen time and i love it so much its great!!
wow I feel the hit of the night disco brings me on the dance floor
This is my favorite song of Donna Summer because of the high vibe it gives me. This 30min version is a piece of heaven because I put it on repeat for hours. I literally never get tired of it, although I'm sure my family is tired of hearing it from my room 😂😅 Great mix!💕🙌
Right now, it's gone midnight and I'm listening to it on my laptop via earphones with my dog beside me. Did the same last night too. I was about 17 when it came out. Can't remember what prompted me to search for it online, because it's not my usual type of music but very glad I did. This version is fantastic and high vibe is a perfect description. I certainly didn't appreciate how good it was when I first heard her.
Me too
A mí me encanta esta canción de la Reyna de la música disco ya mada Donna Summer y que Dios la tenga en Cielo Serca con el por qué ella era muy buena con toda la gente
Joanna - I have always said that if I could pick only one song to listen to forever this one would be it
Agreed. Me, too.
Disco Perfection July 1977, Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, Pete Belotte. Feels like yesterday when I heard the first time. Everyone was blasting this in all the clubs, homes, Hi-Fi stereos. I can still see the speaker diaphragms popping in and out to the bass rhythm.
Wow.... I can only imagine... uuuuuuf I live for this kind of love trip!
I am a fan of donna. During 70 s I was much mad of this song even till today on this covid 2022
*EVERYONE WAS DANCING THEIR ASSES OFF TO THIS EVERY.SINGLE.TIME IT WAS PLAYED!!! THOSE WHO WEREN'T DANCING WERE ALREADY DEAD, WHEN THIS CAME OUT I WAS 8; BUT I WASN'T LATE!!!* 😉
The song that single-handedly invented postpunk/new wave. And it still sounds light years ahead of its time
TEE was THE only Kraftwerk song worth remembering. The rest is hyped bullshit. So, they removed themselves from influence in the end. They composed SO many DOA at the same time. @@nuclearlouse33
30 minutes of pure magic. 🎶
Oh que OUI !!!!
M
Especially after the 30 first minutes!!
@ Mark Norris So very very true! Can't agree more lol
@@suewolfman7184 ,
To me, this song is like a drug. It puts you in a trance and it sounds so good. I've always liked synthesizer music. Heck, I even like country music. Like country music, artists can't perfect something like this.
Don't know why I feel this song will outlast many bc of it's futuristic beat and the message. How many songs catch the character of existence more simply.
You know if it was played into the universe, I bet we'd find intelligent life come dancing back.
I could listen to this song for hours on end. Donna set the ‘Disco’ standard. ❤
❤️❤️❤️ here again … greatest Disco Song Ever!
Here again! ❤
I was a teen during the height of her reign ..and her music was everywhere...... Amazing voice to an extraordinary talent.... Salute to you and ty for the musical memories you created for my generation and those to follow..........!!! ( RIP).
From my country in haiti 🇭🇹 I was very little girl 👧 when my sister play this song we didn’t know the lyrics but the beats kill us me and my brothers love ❤️ Donna anpil
My introduction to America included this song at a rollerskate rink same year of release. I was far too young to club dance, but my host friend's very young and swinging auntie chaperoned us at the rink. She and this song on a hot summer day inside a very cold disco lighted skating rink in that small town traumatized me in a cultural way. Some impressions will never abandon me.
1977 was an incredible year for electronic music. I feel love started an incredible genre. From here to eternity, Blackjack by Baciotti, Magic Fly by Space, Was dog a donut by Cat Stevens, Oxygene by Jean Michel Jarre, Spiral by Vangelis, Supernature by Cerrone, You really got me by Eclipse…the list goes on. All groundbreaking tracks from the same year. 1977 was the year of the synthesizer.
Supernature was 78
@@michaeltnewyorknights8413 it was released in September 1977 on the Cerrone III album
@@TheCleanersCupboard okay. Always thought it was 78.
@@michaeltnewyorknights8413 it possibly depends on where you are in the world, in Europe it was released during 77’

We didn't know what this was when it was released, but it was so different. Electronic music was not a thing then, not in the mainstream. Absolutely brilliant.
Donna Summer was the Queen of the Disdo & she still is i love her voice & her music 🎶 🎵 💕 💓 ❤️ ♥️
Bin Bj. 65 und fand es damals schon genial. Jetzt, so ein wenig gepimpt kommt es sogar noch geiler - Danke.
Take me right back to the late 70s fantastic.
The “Godfather” of dance tracks.
Godmother💜
Well said!
I saw her live in the city of Bruges Belgium when i was with the Belgium Navy and we had to pay 2 euro CRYZY Thank you Donna overthere in heaven xxxxxx
I remember driving home through a blizzard on the way home from a DJ gig, in my ancient Volvo 145, with this track blasting out on the speakers and the windscreen wipers keeping perfect time. Around 1/2 ton of vinyl in the back probably helped to keep the car in contact with the ground.
I've been digging this song for 43 blessed years.....and every time I listen I get the same 2 reactions, #1 Best damn mix and arrangements ever produced in a song. #2. This song drinks and breaths Sexy that bores its way to my loins. LoL..... Listening for 30 minutes, and I'm good for the rest of the month. RIP Queen of Disco Angel.

There was a rumor back in the 70's Dick Clark wanted Morodor to bring the Munich Machine to American Bandstand he said sure, for 1 million😂

Thanks For Sharing
Beyond compare! Donna’s road of creativity was rare! A true LEGEND!
Always played Marc Almonds version till I discovered this about a year ago, now I can't stop playing this version all the time, has to be original and best.
'......Its influence never wavered and in 1982 Patrick Cowley, an ex-lightinh man and neophyte disco producer made a name for himself with his astonishing nearly 16 minute remix that actually improved on the original...'
At one point I owned around 50,000 copies of vinyl. Sold everything 15 years ago. Never regretted it, but there are a few copies that sometimes 'run through my mind'. That 'nearly 16 minute remix' by Patrick Cowley is one of them. The whip man, the whip!
30 Minutes. It shouldn't get much more crazy, but then again......
Thanks!
I grew up on the far south side of Chicago and spent many a night at the Poison Apple in Chicago Ridge during the disco craze. My best friend and I would make sure to arrive early, when the place opened, because the opening song was exactly this one; the full length disco version of I FEEL LOVE. The speakers were cranked and the lighted dance-floor was running up, down, left, and right with a synchronous rhythm of colored lights. It was an event, in of itself, and if it happened to be "penny beer night", we were gonna be there a long time and and use the entire vocabulary of cheap, shallow catch-phrases with every girl in the place to get them onto the dance floor. Man...them's were the days!
When I was 17, the only place to get music was the FM rock station, or the "Top 40" station. Then you went to the record store (yes, record store) and begged them to help you find the song; you'd say the lyrics, maybe even hum a few bars, just to buy the music; I would literally almost panic if I knew I would never hear that song again. I usually stayed away from the Top 40. But one day I caught this, and I couldn't believe it. A whole new sound. I never thought I would say I liked a disco song, but this one changed my mind. This was the first time I can honestly say I heard "techno." Less than 10 years later, Aphex Twin and a few brave others caught on, and the rest is history.
Takes me back to high school and the pinball game rooms for the 1970's, for those of us who were just a little too young for the bars when this song came out. Great memories!
Wow just pure magic listening after all those years. Brings back memories of yester year and I am in my late 50's now. The instrumental touch then is such mind boggling and I believe this must be one of the best ever in it's category.
House Music's whole Foundation DiscoElectronica take a bow!!!...🙏🙏🙏
In Israel kibbutz 1978-79 when this was numero uno disco music there and every Friday we went to disco and this piece of music started the show...also Blondie was coming...great times...indeeeeed!
Insanely great. This sound is easily at home 22-years into the 21st Century.
Oh man, reminds me on a trip to Italy my parents took me as a10y old boy. There was a disco on top of the hill they were smashing this song. People dancing in the streets, good times and now a pandemic.
This is my do-the-dishes jam. 30 minutes and that kitchen is spankin' sparkling just like Donna
Amazing song to dance. Long version makes it better. At the same time, you're listening to this wonderful voice. LOVE YOU & MISS YOU MISS DONNA BLESSINGS🙏🙏♥️😘🌹😢💐
Rip Donna music an her voice will always live❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maravilloso! Nunca había escuchado esta versión de 30 minutos.
La música y arreglos de Giorgio Moroder y la voz de Donna Summer crean magia siempre que escuchamos este tema.
totalmente de acuerdo, gran maga.
Just listen to the amazing fade in and background entering. This is perfection
