Donna Summer - Love To Love You Baby(1975)

Donna Summer passed a way today at the age of 63.

"In 1975, Summer approached Moroder with an idea for a song she and Bellotte were working on for another singer. She had come up with the lyric 'love to love you, baby'. Moroder was interested in developing the new sound that was becoming popular and used Summer's lyric to develop the song. Moroder persuaded Summer to record what was to be a demo track for another performer. She later said that she had thought of how the song might sound if Marilyn Monroe had sung it and began cooing the lyrics. To get into the mood of recording the song, she requested Moroder turn off the lights while they sat on a sofa with him inducing her moans and groans. After hearing playback of the song, Moroder felt Summer's version should actually be released. Although some radio stations refused to play it due to its suggestive style, "Love to Love You" found chart success in several European countries, and made the Top 5 in the United Kingdom... In 1977, Summer released the concept album I Remember Yesterday. This album included her second top ten single, 'I Feel Love', which reached number six in the US and number one in the UK."

"As vintage synth dealers we get to play with a lot of fun toys most people never see. Here's a patch we quickly set up on an ARP 2500 while preparing it for sale. This was inspired by the Giorgio Moroder / Donna Summer 'I Feel Love' bassline..."

I feel love - Roland Juno 60

"I Feel Love (Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, Pete Bellotte) played by midi connected (via Kenton PRO DCB) Roland Juno 60. Bass drum is Jomox MBase 01. All other sounds from the Juno 60. All sounds analogue, no effects other than the Juno Chorus effects. Cakewalk Music Creator 6 used for midi and recording. No harm intended"
