Sadly, the Enchantress that stole my heart when I was a young man passed away from lung cancer in 2012, she was 64. I fell in love with her the first time they played her music on the radio, even before seeing her, and then, after seeing her, she had me captivated, mind body and soul. I will miss her dearly, my heart still aches to this day. A horrible way to die. She was one of Dick Clark's most favorite performers on American Bandstand, so much so that she became one of the few - if not only people to guest host as well as co - host American Bandstand. She also co - hosted many of the "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve" shows. She was loved and adored by everyone, especially me. Thank you for playing this Jamel, you're a good man.

I sat and listened to some beautiful, sexy song, there were girls around and I thought, that for two years I would be deprived of this opportunity. It was only after the army that I found out the name of this song was "I love to love you baby" and this singer became very famous and popular ...

Nice! Notice their conservative wardrobe for the performance. The backup singers are literally covered from head to toe. And Donna, the Queen of Disco, was a "good Christian woman" so she too kept herself in such a way. Mainly because her first single, "Love to Love You Baby" was so blatantly erotic, it was banned on many radio stations. The full length version included naughty orgasmic sounds they eventually edited out for the single so it could get some airplay. Her other disco hits included Spring Affair, MacArthur's Park (remake), Sunset People, Bad Girls, Hot Stuff, On the Radio, and a duet w Barbra Streisand, Enough Is Enough. In the 80s she still produced dance music, but not disco persay. She Works Hard for the Money was probably her last mega hit before she retired, and denounced her lurid life in the 70s and returned to the church. RIP my Queen

Not quite the first use -- there had been plenty of tracks before this that used synthesizers, including the MiniMoog that Giorgio Moroder is playing. This one is generally regarded as the track that broke synths out of the "prog-rock" genre they were more usually associated with and paved the way for New Wave, Synthpop, and spawned the Hi-NRG electronic dance music genre, though.

@@lipby cough. Plenty of examples of music using electronic synths and other tools. I dunno what's going on here though - there's clearly a live band, and some pre-recorded bit - but apart from Donna's lyrics it doesn't sound much like the original to me. Pretty dreadful version, IMO.

Am I right in thinking that this was the first time a synthesiser was used in a song. Donna Summer was a legend. Fabulous singer and performer. Thanks Jamel. Your making Monday a good day. 😊🎶👏

Not the first time, but it was the birth of "techno" music. Before this, songs with synths were mostly niche (think Popcorn by Hot Butter)

Moroder did stuff on that recent Daft Punk record where they collaborated with all those classic producers. He did some great stuff and the girl could sing.

He's producing the upcoming Duran Duran album, and I think Nile Rodgers will be joining them again, so I am ridiculously excited. How has it taken this long for that to happen?!

I was going to say, Daft Punk had a lot of input from some real innovators on that album and they deserved all the awards they got. The 70s guitar riffs are unmistakably Niles-inspired. They also had help from Paul Williams, Julian Casablancas, Pharrell... The best album in the last 10 years, IMO.

Finally someone reacts to Donna Summers! She's beautiful and has an incredible live voice. Also note this was the start of electro on the keyboard.
