Is “I Feel Love” by Donna Summer the greatest song ever?
An electronic whine like a satellite swooping through space opens the song as heavenly synth strings crescendo. Grid-like groove of hypnotic sequenced synth-pulses, shuddering staccato synth bass riff and fierce 4/4 drum machine make musical history with this epochal single. High energy, celestial, euphoric. Donna Summer’s blissful vocals rise above all. Produced and co-written by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. It was recorded in Giorgio’s disco hit factory Musicland Studios in Munich in 1976 and released the following year. It was for Donna’s fifth studio album, “I Remember Yesterday”. The album concept was to have each track evoke a different musical decade. For “I Feel Love", the team forged a futuristic mood using a Moog synthesizer. Machine drummer Keith Forsey, keyboard players Thor Baldursson, Sylvester Levay and Harold Faltermeyer. Engineered by Jürgen Koppers and Moog magician Robbie Wedel. Multiple versions were released by Casablanca Records. 5:56 album version. 3:46 7” version. 8:16 12” version. Marvel at this live version of “I Feel Love” on Italian TV where Donna lilts at ecstasy and reverie, her voice sublime and divine. Breathing across the microphone. Oooh it's so good, it’s so good. It’s so good, it’s so good. It’s so good. If you liked this post from New Old Age, why not share it? |
