  • Donna's top 10 grammy nominated effort, produced by Quincy Jones after the "I'm A Rainbow" album debacle. Quincy would go on to produce MJ's "Thriller" immediately afterward. This album included the "practice run" for "We Are The World", Jon and Vengelis' "State of Independence". I've merged the 12" vinyl with the CD album track to capture the best sound whenever possible, as to my knowledge, this extended track has yet to be remastered digitally.

    My aunts third husband had just died (YES There were more) this song came on the radio and I rocked her living room with it up and down like only a 17-year-old kid can do. I think I helped her break out of her shell to continue on with life. And HEY what a better song to (come out) with I mean hello. I’m 60 years old now and I still remember songs like this!!!!!

      So true. Listen to the b-side of this superb single, the haunting ballad 'Sometimes Like Butterflies' - this beautiful song shows off Donna Summer's incredibly soulful voice so well, and shows just how diverse and accomplished an artist she was. She left us way too soon, but she will never be forgotten. Her fine legacy of music will endure for all time.👌🎤🎶

      This was a huge hit, but it really didn't get the recognition as a futuristic funk anthem that it deserved. It was the jam of the summer, but oddly, quickly forgotten by the general public. I think it's an absolutely perfect, brilliant pop/funk song, with an unmatched energy. A true classic.

      @@kojoharrison630 Absolutely. I still remember the first time I heard "Love To Love You Baby" walking past the electronics department in Sears & it was playing on a high end stereo in the aisle. I told my mother I wanted to go to the National Record Mart & buy the record. When she listened to it for a moment, she rolled her eyes and we went to the Record Mart & got the 45. It had Part 1 on one side & Part 2 on the other. I played both sides of that record until it sounded like crap. One of the clearest memories of my childhood, oddly.

      I still have that vinyl from 1975 with its accompanying Full Album cassette which are still looking new as I’ve taken good care of them. I have all her vinyls & CDs as well. Her music wasn’t just composed but constructed and the vocal resonance and range is just second to none….. James Ingram applauded her during the recording of ‘Mystery of Love’ on the 1982 ‘Donna Summer’ album saying she has the best vocals that can handle any style of music. Quincy JONES echoed those sentiments. With Donna’s experience when Love is Control was cut, she wasn’t satisfied so sent Quincy & the production team back to the studio and they did it all over again until Donna was satisfied. She was Renowned for her ‘once only’ takes on all her recordings and was dubbed ‘One-Take’ Donna as she recorded her vocals just once without retakes!!

    That vocoder told us that the 80s were going to take over soon. The first 2 years of the 80s were a 70s hangover. The decade didn't have its own identity yet. Donna, Midnight Star, The Pointers, along with the Electro/Hip Hop/Techno pioneers shook us out of the 70s and pushed things forward. Cool to see that Donna was all in back then.

    TODAY IN MUSIC HISTORY
    35 YEARS AGO TODAY (July 19, 1982): Donna Summer released her self-titled album on this day. And for the first time: she had Quincy Jones produced the album instead of her longtime collaborators Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte.

    Tengo el 45 RPM , cuando corriamos a las tiendas de discos a comprar el acetato, y eramos mas "envidiosos" por que ni habian archivos de musica y el tener el disco era motivo de orgullo
    aun recuerdo el olor a celofan al desempacar el disco y escuchar a Donna , ahora cualquiera canta , arreglandoles la voz claro. te recordaremos...

    hung around with big shots
    Never knew love was in the
    Sights
    I guess I missed the target
    Caught up in a different line
    Of fire
    But I know since I've been aiming
    For the sweetness in your soul
    Your name is on the bullet
    And it's gettin' ready to explode
    There's be a change inside
    My life
    And just wanna let you know
    Chorus:
    I've got my finger on the trigger
    Love is in control
    I've got my finger on the trigger
    I ain't lettin' go
    Bass line:
    Baby, let's have some fun
    A won't cha be my, my
    Number one
    Mama used to tell me
    Girl, you better load your gun
    Up right
    She said ya, ya gotta come
    Out smokin'
    Hit it with your best shot
    Every time
    Well I didn't understand her
    'Til you walked right into range
    I saw your love at twenty paces
    And I knew I'd won the game
    You better raise your heart
    Up high
    Or love will blow you right away
    Chorus
    Leave off the safety catch
    There ain't no risk
    We're gonna have some fun
    I've got cha, love's begun
    So stay with me
    Until the mornin' sun
    You're superbullet number one
    Bass line:
    Baby, let's have some fun
    A won't cha be my, my
    Number one
    There's been a change inside
    My life
    And I just wanna let you know

    Never heard this back in the day, but it was playing on Sirius 80s on 8 Top 40 countdown today -- and was surprised how much it sounded like something Michael Jackson would have sung. I'm not sure why I never heard it -- I was mostly listening to rock and new wave in 1982, but also listened to some top 40 -- and, of course, knew of 'She Works Hard for the Money', but I think that may have come out after this.

      landreaulover here little info this song is parallel to MIchael Jackson's "PYT" sound similar Quincy jones produced donna's album & MJ's thriller around the same time. Rod Temperton from the group Heatwave brilliant writer producer had written love is control for Donna if you if listen closely you will hear Michael Jackson & James Ingram on back up vocals.

    This was totally the Michael Jackson sound in the 70s and 80s, so much that it seems like it was intended for him, before being presented to Summer. It has all the Jackson signatures in the background. The wooos, and high-inverted harmonies, and razor sharp danceable rhythm.

So much talent, kindness, an outwardly beautiful person, but more importantly, Donna was a beautiful soul . . . inside. Anyone that had the pleasure of meeting Donna knew what a kind and gracious person she was. You gave alot. . . 💖 RIP Queen!

    My sisters Eva & Caroline came to New Jersey from Maine. My Sister Eva wanted to see my Uncle William Napoli
    So I called him and he invited me & my sisters Eva & Caroline to Bayonne NJ. When we arrived in Bayonne my uncle
    called his girlfriend Erica. Erica loved my sisters Eva & Caroline and was thrilled to see them!!! My Uncle & Erica
    decide to take us to a HOT dance club in New York City. Erica told us that the people who go there are AMAZING to
    watch in action. My sisters & me were dressed accordingly for being in a club. All of us then went to New York and went
    into the dance club. Some close friends of my Uncle & Erica were there and happy to meet us when my Uncle introduced
    us to them. We sat down and watched everyone else dance & they were AMAZING to see. We all had dinner which was
    FANTASTIC!!! My Uncle & Erica danced and were really good!!! Later the DJ'S decided to have a dance contest and used
    this song for everyone competing. My sisters heard this song and just waited for our turn to "DESTROY" the dance floor
    and BURN the HOUSE DOWN!!!!! My Uncle & Erica danced to this song and were AWESOME!!!! One of my Uncle's friends
    was leading the contest and asked my Uncle if we could dance!! Then he asked if we were any good. I looked at my sisters
    and told my uncle, " This CONTEST is OVER right NOW!!! Eva & Caroline were UPSET and told me "LOAD THE ARSENAL"!!!
    when I heard that my energy level went "NUCLEAR"!!! Then I LOST my MIND!!! and went into a RAGE!!!!! The three of us got
    on the dance floor and PROCEEDED to "DESTROY" the dance floor and everyone else in the building!!! People were SCREAM-
    ING!!! FREAKING OUT!!! & LOSING their MINDS!!! as we put on a DANCE SHOW!!!! We got done & even the DJ"S were STUNNED
    over what we did!!! We won the contest and Received $5,000.00 Dollars in prize money!!! My Uncle & Erica were in tears as they
    held us!!! My Uncle's friend came up to us STUNNED!!! and said, " WHO are THESE PEOPLE"!!! My Uncle replied, "My Nieces &
    Nephew were Roller- Skating and Dance Champions!!!! We then danced with my Uncle & Erica and the CHEERING & Applause
    we received was DEFINING!!!! People came up to us and shook our hand & hugged us!!!!

    Sorry, but even though Donna complained she had just "made a Quincy Jones record" this it it. She wanted to sing rock, that is what she started with in Munich. Quincy delivered her on the silver platter with this one I love Donna's disco stuff, but this is taking it a notch or more higher. Rock on.
