Donna Summer ~ Love To Love You Baby 1975 Disco Purrfection Version

- LaDonna Adrian Gaines born December 31, 1948, married Helmut Sommer and gained her very famous stage name by anglicizing it as Donna Summer. The name evokes good times and great music and her first really big hit was with a song that set the standard for porno disco, "Love To Love You Baby".
It was released on December 6, 1975 and was the highest new entry that week at #55 when Silver Convention's "Fly Robin Fly" was on its second week at #1 and two future #1's were below Donna's song, Rhythm Heritage "Theme From SWAT" at #84 and the CB themed tune "Convoy" from CW McColl at #82.
Her rise to the top of the Ho100 was thwarted by Paul Simon's "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" and it spent two weeks at #2 in February of 1976. Time was that radio would play hits way after their peak and Donna joined Diana Ross for the battle of song of the summer 1976 with "Love Hangover" which was the logical conclusion to the radio love fest. She did top the disco chart on October 4, 1975 spending four weeks and announcing the new queen of disco, replacing Gloria Gaynor who had spent four weeks at #1 with her blazing disco hit "Never Can Say Goodbye".
Unfortunately for Donna the song never made the Billboard year end chart as it was released in late 1975 and peaked in 1976 which divided the plays between the two years.
Much has been documented about this influential pop song. Donna brought the concept of a song to Giorgio that she had written called "Love To Love You Baby" and they recorded a demo where she ad libbed a vocal pattern, "just goofing around and creating an atmosphere and figured that we'd get together to write the rest of the song later".
Giorgio, who had the idea of recording the song with another vocalist than Donna, handed the demo over to Neil Bogart. Bogart was adamant that Summer do the vocals on the record and that they needed to extend the song which left Giorgio and Donna scratching their heads as they did not understand the need to make it longer.
Bogart had taken the single version of the song and played it at one of his blowout parties where an errant guest knocked the table the record player was on and the needle jumped back to the start of the record, in effect creating an eight minute remix song from the four minutes it actually was. The crowd was ecstatic and out of this happy accident the extended play single was born. Then Moroder took Neil's advice and looped the track to nearly 17 minutes of disco bliss.
Donna used her acting skills to record her vocal, setting the scene by clearing the recording studio, darkening the room and actually lying on the floor doing her best Marilyn Monroe impression.
The song did not break on radio until Florida DJ's hopped on the single leading Bogart to convince Giorgio and Donna to come to America, which they were resistant to as Donna had just suffered a severe heart infection. She finally agreed and in November flew to the US to begin a six week promotional tour. Bogart set the scene by having influential DJ Frankie Crocker at WLBS New York who played the song in its entirety during his after midnight radio show. It lit a fire under the single and it took over the clubs and radio.
The buzz Bogart created around the release included a cake made for her homecoming Boston concert. It wasn't just a cake though, it was huge! It was Donna's likeness of her body done in frosting that was four feet long. He used LA's Hansen's Bakery who was the only baker that would do the impressive feat and shipped the cake via ambulance to LAX and it took up two first class seats with the third seat taken up by Bogart who had alerted the photographers in both cities who jumped on the opportunity to document the cake and promote the single.
That led to high profile appearances on Soul Train and American Bandstand which in turn helped the song explode into the American consciousness and lovers who love to love their baby it they did, and still do.
I have extended this song to 49 minutes which is at least how long people should be taking to love to love....try it sometime. The structure here has been changed slightly to accommodate more passages that ebb and flow the songs energy, can you keep it up for that long? Now I have this song that has earwormed into my little kitty brain - Hudba
Man, the 17 minute version just wasn’t enough. We now have the 48 minute version!!! Oh hell yeah! I wonder how long this song will be when we hit 2030.
Different Strokes for Different Folks!
A bit short, but I like it.
I fully agree with you. Only 48:49. A few more seconds wouldn't have hurt the song. Of course, the remix. So 48:59 would have been appropriate.
That’s what she said...Or he said.
Um
A bit short??
Lol
Lol....Yes... too short....😉😉👍
Please upload The closer I get to you the remix
RIP DONNA SUMMER: THE ORIGINAL QUEEN OF DISCO.
She actually wasn't the original, but she dethroned the original.
THE BEST DONNA SUMMER!
48 minutes OF HEAVEN
Queen Donna with that amazing voice
No freaking way. No way did I just find a 49-minute cut of this classic. Mastercraft 🥰
Man, this version needs its own statutory law passed to future-proof it from ever being banned. 😎💯💋

Feels like a long "love making session" with this ebony goddess. Congratulations, DJ!!
That's what it was meant to be.

Donna Summer - Love 💕 to Love 💖 you Baby. 1975. - DJDiscoCat Disco Purrfection version.
She sings this song with such emotion and passion. She puts her heart 💔 and soul and everything into this music. Its got a great beat to it, very funky. Beautifully done ✅

Good quality,

Simply AWESOME !!!!!! Thanks for sharing your expertise and talent !!!!!
I grew up listening to Donna thanks to my lovely mum who has outstanding taste in music!! I also remember my mum putting on a song that had literally only moans in it, no words, no lyrics, just a really nice beat & a woman moaning. I've been trying to figure out what the song is called but can't seem to find it anywhere!! She had it on a CD mix but shes lost the CD :( Anyways, I just really miss my childhood & these songs always take me back to those times. The power of music, ya gotta love it! Thanks DJDiscoCat for your beautiful work & for making my favorite Donna song almost 50 minutes long! 😗🗿
YO recuerdo 2 canciones, mas o menos con las características que mencionas una era LAURIE MARSHAL canción "NOS AMAREMOS NOCHE Y DIA", la otra con una serie de canciones sobre todo los 2 primeros albumes fue SAINT TROPEZ canciones JE'TAIM, VIOLATION Y BELLA DE JOUR, espero te sirva de algo esta información
another that could be is Cerrone "Love In C Minor" (Album Version) which lasts 15:00 min.@@franciscofuentes8532
im 51, and all i could do was blush so much.....felt so naughty, then so immature, then just let the disco roll.....loved every moment.
I FEEL DISCO GOOD, MERCI BEAUCOUP AVEC AMOUR!!!!
Brilliant Donna Summer HBO documentary now out !
Donna , only Donna 4 ever! thanks Cat for this wonderful long version....speachless
You just can't beat this classic song this is the best thank you DJ
AHHHHHH!!! Love to love you baby love to love you baby love to love!!! I grew up with her songs! Many thanks for posting this jam from 1975. I love the long versions and this is hot fire 💥🔥 you made my day DJ Cat! RIP DONNAS!💓💚💜🤩🎶💃🎵💃🎼🎧
Brings back memories of line dancing at 12 West, legendary gay club in New York back in 1975.
THE SPIRIT IS WILLING BUT THE FLESH IS OH SO WEAK !!!!!!!!!!
Just listened to the whole thing....and it was an experience like no other!
Undoubtedly one of the great songs that marked an entire era, and who more than the queen of disco music Donna Summer, on the radio only the 3:20 song was heard and in some stations it was restricted, another of the songs that contain Donna's sexual sounds is Theme From The Deep (Down Deep Inside) (which you worked on in June 2020) where she also lets us hear her wonderful voice, this song of almost 49 min. It is the appropriate one for which you thought to create it, congratulations again, from Mexico City.
Super Fantastical. Superb Work DJ. Thumbs Up For Making The Queen of Disco Even Better. Thank You Very Much 🌹💋💃🏾
This is absolutely fantastic! What a monster hit!
Didn't think it could get any better than it already is but you proved me wrong. And I'm really glad you did. Great work making a masterpiece even better. Thanks DJDiscoCat for doing the queen some real justice.
je te tire mon chapeau. That is exceptional. 👏👏👏👏

Hello friend!
Just wanted to say how much I appreciated your work for improving these classic songs and giving them a brand new vibe🙏As a waacking dancer, I have always listen, practice and dance to these classic disco. And your new versions have always provide me new things to enjoy and practice my dance❤️Thank you kindly!
A very unique and controversial song that stimulates the imagination. Donna scored magnificently with this classic, and record sales reached platinum status. However, as I remember, this song was banned in places throughout America. I even remember parents forbidding teens not to listen to this song. Over seas, specifically, U.K. it was banned too. Lastly I remember on different media outlets, AM,FM and T.V. deep discussion about this song occurred.
The short 45 version was played on the radio.
Delightfully exhausting !
That song was the reason I almost had to cancel my sweet sixteen party, and...I did'nt buckle...THAT song was part of the repertoire! THEN I knew who my real friends were :)
huh??
@@Marcel_Audubon Yea, wat "too suggestive" according to some parents...LOL
Yes, Yes, Yes!! Love To Love You Baby by Donna Summer is a great dance song in 1975 one of the best!!! I have the CD too!!!! I love it!!!!! I listened to it every night when I dream too!!!!
Dude...! This is so precious!
The mood, the ambience, the sound...
The perfect song to love.
Thank you and greetings from Portugal.

Masterpiece 2nd to the German producer's mix of "I feel love" in 79 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼😎👊🏼💎
I like the part where they say "Love to love you baby"
I am sitting here wondering how on Earth you managed to stretch this epic masterpiece, into an even more epic masterpiece! Do you have the stems from the recording, or do you have several different versions of the song? In Either case, you have truly outdone yourself, and I thank you wholeheartedly for keeping this tremendous song alive and kicking, with Love, of course.
Too bad this can never be an official re-edit.... There will never be a re-edit as re-edity as this re-edit ✊
