In this episode of Brad & Lex, the disco feel earns an immediate "oh" from Lex as she double times Brad's "sway", only pausing for comprehension, cautiously yet accepting the choppy, conflicting chords while displaying a steady moderate "bop" to the sound she later calls "chunky".
In this episode of "In this episode", Brad & Lex get their very own signature theme music to accompany your cleaver reaction breakdowns. Love it!
Lex talks some weird random stuff lmao. Like, this song got a very easy to follow beat. Not sure what she was talking about there about its difficult rhythm lol.
@@spongebobandplanktonshould2920 She's talking about the bassline and the echo of itself panning to different sides of the stereo spectrum
@@annother3350 I meant generally lol. She always does it - talk random stuff about everything she hears. And smile randomly, even to sad songs lol. And the dude's with the same intense frown face everytime.
@@spongebobandplanktonshould2920 You used the word 'there' specifically pointing out this song 'lol', so i explained it to you.
Usually most people point out her very accurate summing up of each song. she's surprisingly good
This was an early example of dance music with almost entirely electronic instrumentation. It was groundbreaking. This was 1977.
Even knowing this, I keep *feeling* like it's from the early '90s. That's how far ahead of the curve this song was.
Not just almost.
Truly. Also Lex seemed to initially wonder how one could dance to this music. People weren't solo dancing, or as we called it dancing "freestyle", when this played at the clubs. It was partner dancing with spinning and twirling each other around in what was called the Latin Hustle in the mid 70's. Donna Summer was known as the queen of disco.
@@michaelcaprioli5824 oHhhhh... we're supposed to DANCE to this??? 😉
Kraftwerk say hi
This was groundbreaking for 1977. Disco along with the birth of techno. This was in every dance club on a nightly basis and played everywhere in 1977. Even people who didn't like disco liked this song as it was so unique for its time.
I'm such a fan of Donna and this song! This was a big dance hit back in the day. She really is the Queen of Disco. Sadly the year she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame she died so her husband and children received the honor. She had the voice of an angel. There will never be another like her!
This was the 1970s. Electro music, techno, house, trance-dance... none of those genres would exist for another decade. Hearing this track for the first time in 1977 was like we'd been blessed by aliens. Play this at a disco and even the furniture would want to get up and dance. Donna Summer voice was the perfect accompaniment and medium for Giorgio Moroder's amazing synthesiser-programmed music.
I love Donna Summer. I used to be one of her private drivers in nashville. She was absolutely so sweet to me and she invited me over to her house with my daughter for dinner. She was such a class act.
That's so cool! I saw her live in 79 at Sahara Tahoe when I was 16. Lol
@@TJ-id6ee One story I have about her was when I was escorting her thru the BNA airport, she would stop for anyone that noticed her, hugged them, chatted for a min. She told me "Chris, I have to stop for these people, without them I would be nothing" She really loved her fans.
@@ChrisFaulkner I love it, thanks for sharing. We are very lucky to have had these experiences! You must have many stories that you could write about.
Great story! I want to hear more lol
What a great story thanks for sharing.
that's called a polyrhythm. Two different time signatures put together to make it feel unstable or mystical or whatever...really cool effect. Beautiful beautiful woman she was, in every way, shape and form. Miss her
It’s actually not a polyrythm, the two synth melodies play in the same tempo and rythm but one is a step after the other. Its the panning of the two sounds creating this cool effect though, one plays in the left speaker and the other in the right, which makes it easy for us to hear them both separately and switch which rythm we’re ‘following’.
Doug, “she” was a man. Indeed beautiful, but she was born male.
@@felixfloodvastlund1273 To be more technical, one rhythm is a repeated eighth-note rhythm (common to rock and R&B), while the other is a repeated sixteenth-note rhythm (more common to disco). It was very jarring to hear it for the first time on headphones after I bought the record. I'd previously heard it played at dances and clubs, coming out of speakers, where the sixteenth-note sounded more predominant.
@@christoffesedao3579 Donna Summer was born male? You are so full of it.
@@mournblade1066 Not that strange, as I have heard that her mother also was born a male.
They don't call her the Queen of Disco for nothing, Donna is amazing!
This song was and remains an astonishing achievement: a futuristic record that still sounds fantastic 35 years on. Within its modulations and pulses, it achieves the perfect state of grace that is the ambition of every dance record. Then you add Donna's amazing vocals, incredible!
45 years on
It really was mind blowing. The album is one of her weaker ones but this song made it a necessary buy.
The teaming of Disco Queen Donna Summer and genius synth composer Giorgio Moroder with truly
game-changing results! Seriously thought this was an 80's track when I first heard it.
I think you’ll find this version is 80s the original is 70s. The 70s version is just as good but not as techno.
@@HappyAitch Thanks! I'll look into it 👍
@@HappyAitch no, this is the original. there was a good 2001 techno remix though
@@annother3350 no this isn’t the original, the original one was from the 70’s. Look it up.
@@HappyAitch Look up Donna Summer I Feel Love Original 8 minute 12" version 1977 and do more research. This IS the original
This song was literally the birth of Techno. Ten years ahead of schedule. This was groundbreaking, especially for 1977
What Michael said.....
Donna+ Giorgio=love
This song and Supernature by Cerrone. Both released in 1977.
Actually Kraftwerk preceded them by at least 8 years. They were formed in 1969
@@smoothmove7566 Certainly I Feel Love and Kraftwerk's music are copied in all techno today.
Donna Summer was Pop Music's first female mega star. Selling millions worldwide and pushing the boundaries by crossing into multiple genres. She was first female artist to dominate the Billboard Charts. The first female and the first black artist to bring 3 albums to the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart, back to back. They just happened to be multi-platinum selling Double Albums. She was the first female artist to repeat having the #1 Single and the #1 Album simultaneously on the Billboard Charts (3 times in 8 months). She was the first female artist to have 2 songs in the top 3, on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (twice in 4 months). The first to have 2 #1 singles in the top 5, and the top 3, on the Hot 100. She was the first artist to have 3 #1 singles, and 5 top 10 singles and/or 5 top 5 singles in a calendar year (79). She was the most commercially successful female artist of the decade (70s) in the US and Worldwide. She was top 10 artist worldwide for 4 consecutive years 76, 77, 78, 79. She sold over 20 million albums and had 10 gold (I million) and 2 platinum (2 million) singles as well as the first gold maxi-single, in the US Market at the end of the 70s. She scored 9 consecutive top 5 singles between Aug 78 - Oct 80, all of them selling a million copies or better (a physical sales record). She was the first black female artist played in heavy rotation on MTV; She Works Hard for the Money Aug 83, and Unconditional Love Nov 83. She set a precedent of having 3 consecutive videos played in heavy rotation. Not surpassed until Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation in 1989/90. She is the only artist to be nominated for a Grammy in 5 different genres, at least 3 times each (R &B, Rock, Pop, Gospel & Dance). She is only artist to win a Grammy in 4 different genres. Named the "Diva De Tutti Dive" by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, meaning the first true diva of the modern pop era. She has been called a game changer by Mary j. Blige, Lenny Kravitz and Stevie Wonder.
This was the first disco song that used digitally created sounds without any musical instruments. Giorgio Moroder was a genius. It's been on my snow skiing music playlist since the first Walkman came out. "Switched on Bach" in 1968 was the first all digital music album.
Analog sounds, actually. Moroder used a big Moog modular synth and sequencer, which was all analog. Very similar to the setup the great Wendy Carlos used 5 years later for the TRON soundtrack.
Disco existed in two forms: (1) Drum machine & synth version you hear on this song. (2) The highly polished version with prominent horns, strings, & bingos. What concord the two are the long running time and steady beat if the bass drum.
Makes me think of that Midnight Express movie theme song from the 1970s.
Lex, when they mixed this song, they put the eighth notes from the synthesizer in alternating sides...left right left right. etc, and it gives an echo effect. I've always noticed that about this song as well. It adds a 3-dimensional effect to it. The whole song is about making love. The beat, the lyrics, the sensuality of the synthesizers.
This was released under Donna Summer's name but like so much of her music it's a Giorgio Moroder song with Donna Summer on vocals.
No, not the first disco song, however this song is very historic. This song was very ahead of its time for 1977, and basically set the stage for electronic and club music for the next 15 or so years!
not the first disco song but the first tecno song. Love to Love You Baby her first song did touch the tecno sound but this one was full fledge tecno.
The song came out in the Summer of '77, just as disco was reaching it's peak in popularity. The first time I heard it was in the car when my parents were taking me and my siblings to see Star Wars at the drive in. This was one of the first techno songs from the NYC club scene to go mainstream and was a staple at Studio 54. The 70s/80s were such fun times to live through compared to today.
"Macarther Park" by Donna Summer another great great hit!
Donna Summer was one of the most beautiful women in the world and super talented, what a voice and this song was considered the track (sound by Giorgio Moroder) that started all the electronica into the 80s (New Wave, New Romantics like Depeche Mode, Duran Duran) that man artists hearing it said "That's the sound of the future".
Donna was definitely the most beautiful TRANSGENDER in the world. “She” was born male, but obviously passed as a beautiful woman.
@@christoffesedao3579she was not born male, what a stupid comment. She was a friend of my family and was always female. She was Ladonna Gaines.
So many stories...Régine Zylberberg claimed to have started the first discotheque and to have been the first club DJ in 1953 in the "Whisky à Go-Go" in Paris. She installed a dance floor with coloured lights and two turntables so she could play records without having a gap in the music. The first #1 song on the American Disco chart upon its debut on November 2, 1974 Gloria Gaynor - "Never Can Say Goodbye" . The biggest hit of the 70's was Bee Gees' “Stayin' Alive,” Donna Summer rocketed to international super-stardom and is "Queen of Disco"
Her performance of this song on Saturday Night Live is probably the best disco performance of all time.
Lex you are absolutely right. This was the beginnings of Techno when it was called "European Disco" created by the Moog Synthesizer, composed by Giorgio Moroder, who brought this sound from Germany. Donna was a hit overseas, an American girl who came to the USA and thrilled party-goers with her soothing and powerful vocals. "Love to Love You Baby" was a smash hit and catapulted Donna to the Throne of Disco as Queen. From 1975 - 1979 she had no less than 12 hit albums and numerous songs, won countless awards and sang with legends (including Barbara Streisand) that's how big she was. Gloria Gaynor made an attempt at knocking her off her throne for Queen of Disco with "Never Can Say Goodbye" 1975 (and a club favorite "Honey Bee") but she couldn't dethrone Donna. There were others, but only one Miss Donna Summer. The "techno" music was born then (see Karftwerk TEE - Trans Europe Express, 1977), but it was Donna and Giorgio who ushered it into the USA.
Brad & Lex, her "She Works Hard For The Money", "Hot Stuff" and "Love To Love You Baby" are next for you!!
and you can't forget the classic, "On the Radio"
MacArthur Park!
Guys this is a classic from the 70's pure magic from a wonderful singer RIP The Queen of Disco
Newsweek Magazine described this song by Donna Summer when it was released as "The orgasmic sound of Donna Summer" ...... it undoubtedly was the fuel that powered thousands upon thousands of one night stands............and yes, I was an avid participant! God Bless the 70's!!
QUEEN OF DISCO
Spent Many Nights on a Lighted Floor and Disco Ball Over Head...Disco didn't last long, But the Music has lasted for over 40 years....Disco Music is in So many Movies...
Last Dance 💃 is a popular song of Donna's..Would play at closing time in clubs...
You go elsievickie, my girlfriend and I were probably on the dance floor the nights you're speaking about. Those were the days.
maybe the best Voice Disco ever had.
Donna Summer is an automatic thumbs up, every time, though I could do without this video.
Being a dyed-in-the-wool rock-and-roller, I detested disco back in the day... however, Donna Summer was the exception. She struck me as a genuine talent and an authentic artist....( neither of which were required for success in the Disco genre).
She had a great voice but had the skill and restraint not to "over sing" her songs, and she was a beautiful woman who did not depend on her beauty for attention.
I learned many years later that she started her career as a rock and roll singer (she was in a band with her husband)
“She” was a man. Not judging, but it’s amazing how long we were fooled. He was a very successful trans woman.
@@christoffesedao3579 Sure. And Paul is dead.
Disco was great rock was bland
Same here. My sister and I put on her album and cleaned the house on weekends. Definitely helped us get moving!
Well the anti-disco movement was a backlash against The black and gay subculture. You don’t know much about whatever you’re calling disco. The over commercialization of “” Disco “”
She was never in a band with her husband by the way
"I Feel Love" was released as the B-side to the single "Can't We Just Sit Down (And Talk It Over)", which reached number 20 on the US Billboard R&B chart. Two months later, the single was reissued with the sides reversed. "I Feel Love" reached number one in countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. It reached number three in West Germany and number six on the US Billboard Hot 100.[1]
"I Feel Love" became popular during the disco era,[4] influencing acts such as David Bowie, Brian Eno, Kylie Minogue, the Human League and Blondie.[5] The Financial Times named it one of the most influential records, laying the foundations for electronic dance music.[6] In 2011, the Library of Congress added it to the National Recording Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important".[7][8] It has been covered by acts including Bronski Beat, Messiah and Sam Smith
Great song to dance to it was very big in the clubs
For us who thought disco music was stupid, this one reached us. As well as (not so much disco but Donna Summer) Mac Arthur Park!
After I got to high school and more into non-mainstream rock, I became spiteful of disco…..as the decades rolled by, I am no longer that way…I now have an appreciation for it being its own thing, with it its own vibe and purpose…..and enjoy the memories it provides for me of the times.
Music has something for everyone!
@@kdm71291 Yes, also I have evolved since!
It was put down as DISCO SUCKS but it was just another branch of rock music when you look back on it ..
Everyone in high school was in love with the Queen of Disco. What a voice!!!🎙🎶🎧👍
This was truly groundbreaking at the time... Great Times.. Needs to be listened to with your eyes shut rather than that 'video'... But dancing in the clubs to it, very hypnotic...
"I Love To Love You Baby" is Donna's best work.
Second the motion . I love watching people react to that one . It was banned all over the place . DJ's couldn't play it . The lyrics really spoke to me though . Lol
It was one long fkk session, in song form. : ) To hear her reach climax, it's like, this must be really going on! She's getting off, with mics recording it all!
Then do the honourable thing and get the title correct.
@@FFM0594 WTF are you going on about? Besides, there *is* no honor on forums like this. In any case, you, sir, are without honor. You have insulted my family's good name by insulting me. By rights, I could challenge you to a fight to the death, and you would have to accept.
They are trying to feel or analyze this song in their heads. This is one you feel in your chest and your soul with that thumping base. Iconic track that still sounds 👍 great
yep!
Such a sexy and seductive track
These kids just don't get it!! No offense but you really have had to live through that era to understand it!
a timeless classic from the beautiful Donna Summer
Donna in her day was a total love goddess.
In “his” day . . . . take a closer look 😉
Another great choice. This time it's a bona fide classic. There's not many tracks that can claim to cross genres and become truly iconic, but this is definitely one of them. This hit the charts across the world whilst simultaneously tearing up the discos and the gay clubs in '77 and went on to influence a generation of musicians in the 80's, and got remixed and rereleased twice. It really can't be overstated how the ripples of this track influenced other artists and in turn influenced others. Once again, thanks for reacting to this classic.
Psychedelic. I love Donna Summer. Not another voice like this lady had. Her voice just flows. 🌸🌼🌷⚘🌺🌹🏵❤
This song defined modern electronic music. It's one of the best songs ever made.
That's not love my friend...that's LUST! LOL ❤️ I remember dancing to this eons ago 🤣 and being pretty buzzed it seems all of us who were on that floor were feeling the same way. Weird I remember it so well! ❤🍀
Every time i hear this song i remember my mum when i was a young kid dancing in the living room like an eejit. Nice memory.
If you live during the Disco days this song right here was everything it played probably 10 15 times a night the dance floor would be packed the lights going it was amazing you could get lost in this song for days I miss those days so much
I believe the first Disco #1 hit was in 74, Rock the boat by Hughes inc., this Dona Summer classic came in 76. But Disco techs/clubs had been around since the late 60's and the disco dance music started showing up in the early 70's.
Donna, a most BEAUTIFUL vocalist of all time wasn't afraid to try genre music.
This track was jaw dropping for its time and that 'techno' sound was imitated for decades after. Mesmerizing musically and, of course, Donna's magical voice is the cherry on top. :)
This was sooo ground-breaking - there's been so many people influenced by this song down the years that it seems much more normal now.
Btw. In the 60's & 70's it was necessary to edit certain songs running times to fit radio programmers daily play lists (The House Of The Rising Sun comes to mind). Around 1978 saw the birth of the dance mix and the inverse happened. Songs were lengthened considerably for the burgeoning Disco scenes around the world. Ms. Summers 'I Feel Love' was one such song.
You should play love to love you baby . The lyrics are super catchy . Allot of radio stations wouldn't play it , it was banned all over the place . I would super love to watch your faces when you hear it.
this is one of the ultimate disco night club songs, very popular
I absolutely LOVE Donna Summer, God Rest her Soul. I'm 60 and have always been a fan.
You guys should react to…
Donna Summer - Love To Love You Baby
🪩💃🏻🕺🏼
I remember this song & film.
A fusion of sight & sound.
She also made your eyeballs melt.
Always be the queen of disco
The Blue Man group and Venus Hum do a fantastic cover of this!
Agreed!
One of my favorite songs. I even have it on my iPod and phone. David Bowie said this, about this song and its producer: “Don’t look anymore, because I think Giorgio found the sound of the future.'”
The New Order songs ‘Blue Monday’ and ‘Temptation’ were both heavily influenced by the Donna Summer song ‘Our Love’.
This track is both iconic and historic . It laid the foundations for the synthpop of the 80s and influenced so many artists that followed . Gorgio Moroder was a pioneer of synth and seldom gets the credit he deserves !
The Queen of Disco
Donna Summer was the queen
Chills - just fucking chills. The genius of Giorgio Moroder allied with the sex on a stick vocal style of Donna Summer - whose voice is just a generous measure of Courvoisier poured over a single large ice cube in a cut crystal glass. & I speak as one of the original 'disco sucks' kids from '77. This is beautiful & if I should ever be required to pilot a space ship into the sun to save all mankind this will be on the playlist for when I make my final approach. Love you guys - love & kisses from the UK xxx.
The genius of synth legend Giorgio Moroder. Pioneer of electronic music. Hugely influential on the New Wave music of the 80’s. Worked with a lot of great artists. Check out his song with Blondie, "Call Me," and also watch the movie, American Gigolo, that it was written for. Classic 80’s. Another personal favorite song of mine is "When I’m With You," collaboration of Moroder and the band Sparks.
I remember as a kid every male kid in corpus Christi Texas had a Farrah fawcetts red swim suit poster on they're walls all except for this little cowboy I had THE QUEEN OF DISCO DONNA SUMMERS AND I RECKON I WAS AND STILL PROUD OF HER AND THE POSTER ❤️
First time i heard this song, it was on the radio being sung by Jimmy Somerville, he has a voice that is actually higher than Donna Sommers. So when i heard her version i couldnt believe her voice was so much deeper. Lol great song though
She was very popular in the late '70's and had a beautiful voice! Disco clubs galore as well as some of her songs were incorporated in hit movies! "Hot Stuff'' is a must now! Great y'all!
Guys, this is classic disco. Donna Summer was known as 'The Queen of Disco.' The sounds you're hearing that seem alien to you are typical of the disco era. Nearly all disco songs have that familiar beat for dancing. Use of synthesizers were common too. If you haven't seen the movie Saturday Night Fever, you may want to see it as it is flooded with disco music and dance.
Even in the disco era what Giorgio Moroder did on this song was groundbreaking work. He created the template for many to come in Disco, Dance, Techno and Trance.
@@avanoosterhout8397
Agreed. And it's not classic disco.
Good song! Love Donna summer
My favorite version of this tune is by "Blue Man Group". A surprisingly good performance.
I second this. With Annette Strean of Venus Hum. So good.
makes me wanna Rimba...
No. Rubbish
More Donna!😍More Ms Wonderful!😍
Everybody on the floor!
I was 17 in 77. I was trapped in Disco Hell. All the bars, liquor houses, juke joints were playing song's like this. But I always thought that Donna Summer was very sexy. 🔥🔥🌴🐊🌞😎🤔😜
Boston's beautiful Donna Summer the Queen of disco!
The sound of the legend, Giorgio Moroder, a true techno pioneer and the beauty of vocals of Donna Summer. A groundbreaking tune! Love your reactions and big hugs from England
This literally changed music forever!
I don't even like disco. But Donna Summer made me. _I Feel Love_ changed popular music forever, and in a good way.
Thank you, Donna, rest in peace. Love from sunny Vienna, Scott
Wow! Thanks for the memory, guys! I grew up in that era and forgot how much I liked Donna Summer.
Donna Summer was really big in the 70's.
Lung cancer and she didn't even smoke. Speculation was that it happened because she performed a lot in clubs that were filled with cigarette smoke in her early career days.
Lex talking about the beat makes perfect sense to me why Donna Summer was doing the robot in live versions of this song!
The first #1 song on the American Disco chart upon its debut on November 2, 1974 was "Never Can Say Goodbye" by Gloria Gaynor.
I remember Donna Summer I feel love this was a great sound for it's time it was always on the radio.
My favorite Spaceship driving song. Hitting light speed out in the distant Universe.
This is “THE definitive Disco song” along with her other big hit Live to Love you were the first major disco hits. Only Donna Summer, Sylvester, and The Village People had mainstream hits as true disco artists. Most early disco hits were the brainchild of producers with music performed by session musicians & singers. If the song became a hit they would put together a band for an album & tour. These groups were usually one hit wonder. The artist we refer to as disco today like Chic & KC & the Sunshine Band were R&B. Many record companies & producers jumped on the bandwagon and marketed their artist as such. They even added disco elements to the music. It happens to rock, R&B and jazz artist. Similar to today where a rapper has a verse on a pop or R&B song and suddenly that pop diva is hip hop.
Love Donna summer. She was my first pre teen crush.
Donna Summer is an incredible singer. She has many great songs, but Could It Be Magic will show you why her voice is so special. Do that one.
Groundbreaking song. Love it.
This was my first great song from Donna Summer--YESS!
Georgio Moroder was the individual responsible for the music. It is one of the earliest 'pop' songs to be entirely electronic.
I never realised that. He's such an incredible musician/composer.
Donna Summer was a treasure. This song is a banger; funky, fun, and oh, so sensual. A must for any party! Rest easy, you angel.
A song way ahead of its time.
The song that started it all. Groundbreaking. Donna was such a trailblazer in so many things but this song is probably her and Giorgio's masterpiece. I think at some point i had almost 1000 versions of this where they sampled this song. Still today loads of songs are inspired by this song. Ask any house dj what the most influental dance song is and they will all say I feel love
In the 80's this record and a strobe light was the perfect Disco sound. Donna was the Queen of disco.
I had my strobe and lights that illuminated to the music. Think a stereo speaker with a lucite panel with lights behind it. Late 70s Disco bedroom. I was a partime DJ back then too. Great Memories
There's a song that hasn't been mentioned by anyone here - "Down Deep Inside" the theme song from the 1977 movie "The Deep." Music by John Barry and lyrics by our "Queen" Donna. It is a wonderful song, filled with sweeping orchestral melody. Who was John Barry? Here:
"John Barry was one of the all-time great masters of movie music. His career spanned some 50 years - from Midnight Cowboy and Born Free to Dances with Wolves and Out of Africa - taking in 11 James Bond films along the way. The five-times Oscar winner was born in York on 3 November 1933." Donna was BIG! Donna IS BIG!
Moroder also did soundtrack for “Midnight Express” which came out about the same time. The song “Chase” has a similar style. It’s addictive!
While not as commercially successful, Vangelis (Chariots of Fire, Blade Runner, 1492, etc) is right up there in the electronic Halls of Gods.
Jon and Vangelis is pretty awesome too. Pairing Jon Anderson from Yes with Vangelis was a stroke of auditory mastery. I'll Find My Way Home and Friends of Mr. Cairo are a couple of faves by them.
@@SPAMDAGGER22 Yes! I discovered them back in the 80s before I realized Vangelis was big on his own. They did four albums together (the last one, “Page of Life”, wasn’t released in the US; it’s here on UA-cam).
Love a good Vangelis soundtrack. I would travel the world to see Vangelis perform live, if I could.
This song was so ahead of it’s time. Love me some Donna Summer!
I suggest Bad Girls, Hot Stuff, or Dim All The Lights from her Bad Girls album. I got the album back in 1979 when it came out, and I STILL HAVE IT! Imo those are the 3 best tracks on it.
The Disco Queen doin' her Disco thing. Wow, people at clubs danced their butts off to this song.
Amazing voice..total control
The Blue Man Group and Venus Humm do absolute killer cover of this that will blow you away!😃
One of the greatest songs of all time! The beginning of techno/trance 🙏🙏🙏
In a similar vein-Diana Ross-Love Hangover-the 7:48 minute version is the best although there are tons of remixes to this song.
This song was well ahead of its time and pioneered the start of electro-pop in the 80s. I was only about 5 or 6 when this came out and it is still one of my favourite songs.
