It's been so long since I've heard this I thought it was Blondie.



Exactly! At first, I thought it was Brian Reitzell/ Debbie Harry- Tehran 1979.  RP/ William must have that vibe too, he played a Brian Reitzell track after this one.

When Donna Summer was in her prime, I really didn't listen nor did I pay any attention at all. Or so I thought. When I heard of her passing, I was truly saddened. Obviously, she sunk in more than I realized. Listening now, I love it.

I remember this from back in the day as well. I was a neo-hippie in high school and not supposed to like it, but I couldn't deny that I loved it despite the cringes from my friends.

I think it speaks in favor of this song that half a century after its release it still sounds like science fiction.

Simple lyrics, simple loops (before loops were invented I might add) and it's a classic piece of musical history!

If you end up getting sampled by Underworld for a track as cracking as King of Snake, then you've done something right đź‘Ť

Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver" from 1975 is definitely going to be the first hit album that was heavy on synths, though if I recall correctly, that one didn't use any drum machines.

The long version is the BOMB! Wish it was playing instead of the made-for-radio version. It ends too soon.

Amazed, not a single Art Bell "Coast To Coast" comment.  I didn't listen to that show as I don't care much for the paranormal, but I do remember the eerie sound of that coming on late at night on an unknown AM station somewhere back in the 1990s.
 
Of course LA radio comedian Phil Hendrie did his own take on this in the late 1990s/early 2000s, using Abba's "Dancing Queen" for his own Art Bell parody.  I definitely recommend listening to one of those clips.

Visionary track! The lightness and airy quality of her voice as it soars among the crisp, precise and repetitive synth pairs so, so nicely.

A little "Blue Monday" by New Order to follow up is very tempting...  I can hear that kick drum calling...

Thanks Bill, a great piece of disco - possibly the first real soul disco (my term). Jeez, I really believed she originally recorded this in 1968? However, in that year she played a role in the German 'Hair' where she met her future husband. She Anglicized his  name, Sommer, to Summer after her divorce. This song was actually off her 4th album in 1977 "I Remember Yesterday". 
Great music, cheers.

There's an interesting bit about this song, and Girorgio Moroder in the PBS documentary 'soundscapes' and how it was one of the first completely synthesizer songs.

FREAKING CLASSIC ALERT
Posted 5 years ago by TerrorGovernor    [ Reply ]
It's a guilty pleasure but I still think Giorgio Moroder changed the musical landscape when he came up with this. And while far too many imitators managed to do nothing but produce repetitive drivel after this opened the field, in this case Donna Summer's voice provided the necessary foil to keep this interesting. And after all these years it's still a blast to dance to!

The eras were close but leg warmers were more prevalent in the early 1980s - think Flashdance and Fame.  Disco's peak time was the latter half of the '70s and it was all but gone by 1980.
