This time i know it’s for real – Donna Summer
With her passing a few days ago, i’ve been getting a lot of page hits for the one Donna Summer song i’ve posted here. That song is I Feel Love, and i’ve course i framed the whole thing through Giorgio Moroder’s production rather than anything Donna herself brought to it. A very rockist thing, it was probably just what i had in my mind the morning i wrote it, and anyone who came to it was probably just looking for the song and no input of mine. Regardless, i’ve been feeling pretty bad about it. What would that song be without that vocal line and everything it summons and rejoices. A bunch of blips and bloops (that’s too much the other way). So let this song and this post stand as the tribute i’d like for people stumbling their way here to find. The one i’d like to dedicate to her. Not one from her disco heyday, but still one of her best.
