Giorgio Moroder is 84 years old, and still going strong. He wrote many of my favourite songs, especially Neverending Story, who'd have guessed?

[@resireg]

His hit as a singer was the song Looky Looky

[@Shellgrit]

​@resireg one of my favourite songs by him is "Why Me" by Irene Cara

I believe that Giorgio Moroder is a true innovator and genius. He literally changed music and revolutionized the electronic music industry. He wrote many great hits, like "Chase", "Reach Out" and "I Feel Love", and collaborated with singers such as Donna Summer and Irene Cara. And in fact, he is a pioneer of electronic music, Italo disco and one of the founders of disco of the 70s. Even Daft Punk dedicated a song to Giorgio Moroder. 😊

[@anothercomment]

He is such a highly talented songwriter. They are so many memorable hits.

[@buddyatiny]

Oh what a legend ! Those 25 songs are legendary❤🎉 Thank you for sharing that he’s the man behind all those songs !

[@artguti1551]

No, only a few of those songs are good. 60 percent of those songs I never heard of (being from Los Angeles, Ca)

[@bobthebarber777]

Thanks Maestro! 🙏🏻❤️

[@snakebitepellehue]

I had no idea one single guy had written all of these!

[@resireg]

He belongs to that German minority from Northern Italy. He blends the best of both cultures

[@AlexByth]

Well, he had co-writers (mostly for lyrics... he doesn't like writing lyrics so he delegates that to his collaborators).

[@galaxykai]

Eine echte, wahre Legende. Viel zu oft noch verkannt. Ti auguro una lunga vita, caro Giorgio

[@GregCurtin45]

Truly a fascinating guy. My two favourite artists are Kenny Loggins and Stevie Wonder so it is really great to see that Kenny brought a couple of his songs to life. Giorgio has won 3 Oscars, 4 Grammy's, and 4 Golden Globes. While he is considered the ''father of disco'' he has accomplished so much more. How many artists and creators have worked with Donna Summer and Daft Punk? He is still alive at 84 living in California. I hope he gets to see this special tribute. Thank you sir for bringing to light an amazing piece of music royalty.

[@patrick_tugume]

Wow. The unsung heros in the shadows. Song writers. Meet me half way by Kenny Loggins is one of my all time favourites, since I was a child and heard it in the movie "Over The Top" by Sylvester Stallone where its a sound track.

[@brian70Cuda]

I have his greatest hits CD. Never knew his work when I was a kid, I love it now though;) Thank you Random! "Son of my father" was what got me hooked on Giorgio.

[@benrous8430]

Great video. So many songs I know that I was unaware were written by him. Very talented guy.

[@TheMouseAvenger]

This guy also did the soundtrack for one of my all-time favorite remakes: "Cat People" (1982), starring Nastassja Kinski, Malcolm McDowell, & others. ^_^

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Some of my favorites, in no particular order: Winner Takes It All (written with Sammy Hagar in 1987), Call Me (written with Debbie Harry in 1980) Cat 🐈 People (written with late David Bowie in 1982), Flashdance ( written with Keith Forsey and the late Irene Cara 1983), Take My Breath Away (1986). All of these are in soundtracks to movies 🎥. The only dispute is Danger Zone. Kenny Loggins is negotiating with Georgio Moroder on credits.

[@baronrojo1262]

Muchas gracias Giorgio por tanta música.

[@riofest8893]

"Hand in Hand".....it was a number one or top ten hit in several European countries, and I never get tired of hearing it.

[@tpbrcombo]

I especially enjoyed this, thank you SRG, I did not know he was behind “Son of my Father” so I learned something. My favourite of the Maestro’s is “Take My Breath Away”.

Giorgio Moroder certainly is considered one of greatest songwriters from the 80's. Which puts him on par with the likes of Burt Bacharach. Thank you SRG for giving this man the extra credit he deserves.

[@joezava8257]

Giorgio Moroder and the beginning of Modern Electronics (EDM) Giorgio Moroder began experimenting with electronics since the early 70's, starting directly from the 4 classic lines of Electronic Music (E. Post Concreta, E. Moog, E. Experimental and E. Soundtrack / Ambient, Sci-Fi, Cósmic) in synthesis with Pop/Rock songs (under a preferential beginning along the lines of E. Moog and E. Soundtrack / Ambient, Sci-Fi, Cósmic) in songs like Stop, Song Of My Father, Tears (1970-1971) and production for European artists (like the singer Lulu, Sue Kramer, Chicory Tip, Mery Ross...) who were looking for this new synthesis of E. Moog with Pop/Rock songs of the decade, meanwhile Kraftwerk only made noise and sound distortion with their characteristic Krautrock Düsseldorf & German Progressive Rock (which were not classic, direct and main lines of electronic music) . By 1975 Moroder released his first electronic album Einzelganger where he masterfully applied the 4 pillars of Classical Electronic Music (E. Moog, E. Experimental, E. Post Concreta and E. Soundtrack / Ambient, Sci-Fi), while Kraftwerk (1974 ) began to replicate and copy these classic lines of Electronic Music mixed with Krautrock Düsseldorf (Autobhan), Moroder far surpasses the productions of Kraftwerk (1974) with the direct use and management of the classic lines of Electronic Music (without Krautrock substance & German Progressive Rock in between), Einzelganger was released months before the album Radioactivity that same year, the Conny Plank boys (Kraftwerk) were beginning to pay attention to the productions (E. Munich/ Music L. Studio) of Giorgio Moroder. The definitive fall of Kraftwerk came in 1977 with Moroder's new Electronica productions (continuing the evolution of the Einzelganger album) that finally evolved and revolutionized the 4 classic lines of Electronic Music with the Concrete EDM model that Moroder forged and initiated that same year (Working To The Midnight Shift, Queen For A Day, Now I Need You, I Feel Love and their second electronic album From Here To The Eternity), all under the solid and concrete beginning of this nascent electronic scene that in its first phase of development and evolution (1977-1980) the 3 main and primary electronic genres of EDM Concreto 70's were formed and consolidated: HI-NRG, Synthpop and Electro. Kraftwerk and their stagnant, rustic and underdeveloped album T. Europa E. (1977) bow to Giorgio Moroder's Concrete EDM model, paying homage in 1978 with the album The Man Machine where Conny Plank's boys practically replicate and copy the specific electronic bases of EDM (HI-NRG and Synthpop) in songs like Spacelab, Metropolis, The Model...among others. Kraftwerk, defeated by Moroder, began to put an end to its descendants and lineage Progressive German Rock & Krautrock Düsseldorf in future productions, even more so when in 1980 Ryuichi Sakamoto and his independent productions associated with YMO/Lógic System (E. Japan in synthesis with concrete EDM post 1977) began the primary electronic model and matrix of Electro / TR-808 Roland (third and last electronic genre of EDM in its first phase of evolution and development 1977-1980), it is from here that Kraftwerk again replicates and takes the productions of other developers for the formation of the album Computer Word (1981), this time it was Ryuichi Sakamoto's turn and his works from that year 1980 / Lexington Queen, Wareheat, B-2 Unit and the Grail of the Electro matrix sound and the pioneering use of the TR-808...the song Riot In Lagos, also added to this is the most minimalist of HI-NRG and Synthpop achieved until 1980 + the electronic lines of the group of the top producers and developers of the 70's: Moroder (E. Munich), Jarre (E. France), Lacksman (E. Belgium), YMO (E. Japan), Tangerine Dreams & Schulze (E. Berlin)...among others. The matrices and primary bases of EDM Concreto + the electronic lines of the group of the top producers and developers of Electronics of the 70's (Third Wave): Moroder, Jarre, Lacksman, YMO, Tangerine Dreams, Schulze, Vangelis, Tonet, Gizzi, Pinhas , Martín W. & Ian C. + the synthesis of EDM with the Disco / Funk scene...are the roots and fundamental electronic lines for the beginning and branching of genres of the 80's EDM scene (Second phase of evolution and development / 1981 -1989): House, Techno, Synthpop, HI-NRG, Freestyle, Italo, Electro Funk, New Beat, Trance, Acid, Electro, Eurobeat...including the primary electronic base of "ebm", the most sophisticated of Electro Industrial , the primary electronic molds that the converted Punk / Rockers take for the development of their nascent New Wave scene (in terms of Electronic) and the primary electronic basis of the Hip Hop / Rap scene of the 80's (NY 82 Baker, Bambatta, Robie, Jellybean, Parrish detached from Classic Funk in synthesis with the EDM). My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me...the father, founder and pioneer of EDM and the Modern Electrónic / The Sound Of The Future

And the song "Stop" (1966) by Giorgio.

[@j.maxell3030]

Stop la volvió a relanzar en 1970 con el uso del Moog Modular IIIp y los primeros Minimoog 👍

[@T.O.P.]

I Feel Love remains thee number 1 disco track of all times, decade after decade after decade after decade after decade... etc.

[@Kouros-t6d]

Only in the Disco-electro department ...in the same camp there are Now I need you.....queen for a day and working the midnight shift from the great once upon a time album from Donna summer...anyway Disco have so many sub-genres (the most important of all DISCO-FUNK)that makes it the one of the richest genre ever.

My favorite Giorgio Moroder production is The Runner, which he did for The Three Degrees. Smoldering hot fusion of rock and disco with the signature Moroder synths and powerful, scintillating vocal performances by the lovely Degrees themselves.

[@marsgal42]

Some definitive '70s and '80s tunes here. ❤ Like other producers/directors with a distinctive style (e.g. SAW, Stanley Kubrick) you can tell it's a Giorgio Moroder song immediately.

Yo diría "Creado y Producido" en su mayoría, bajo el sonido que el mismo Moroder forjo desde inicios de 1970 en el uso pionero de sintetizadores, equipos modulares, secuenciadores, cajas de ritmos y las bases primarias de la música electrónica clásica que forjaron el EDM (desde 1977) lo cual forma mayoritariamente el sonido de los 80's. Recuerda que mientras Giorgio Moroder y Jean M. Jarre estaban haciendo las primeras síntesis electrónicas con temas Pop/Rock de la época los muchachos de Conny Plank (Kraftwerk) solo hacían ruido y soplaban flautas en Dusseldorf con su característico Progressive Rock Aleman & Krautrock 😁 My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me...the man, the pioneer, the myth, the legend.
