Donna Summer – I Feel Love

In this sensual song, Donna Summer can “feel” love, experiencing it on a level that transcends words. Her vocal is just the same few lines over and over (“It’s so good,” “I’m in love”), but she sings them with a conviction that feels spiritual.

“I Feel Love” is an electronic music landmark, with a track built entirely on a Moog synthesizer. Giorgio Moroder, a leading light in the genre and a longtime collaborator with Donna Summer, came up with the music. His associate, Pete Bellotte, produced the track with him and wrote the lyrics with Summer. Moroder and Bellotte are responsible for most of Summer’s early disco hits.

In 1970s Munich, Musicland Studios, led by the producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, had produced a number of disco hits, including Donna Summer’s 1975 single “Love to Love You Baby”. Summer had moved from the US to Munich to perform in the musical Hair, and had become a successful session vocalist.[12] Moroder described her as “an incredibly talented singer, who could improvise but was also very disciplined”.

“I Feel Love” reached number one in countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands and on the UK Singles Chart. It reached number three in West Germany and number six on the US Billboard Hot 100.
