THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
11-Donna Summer-I Feel Love.
1977-Number 1 single.
Best Bit-At 0.10. Even at the age of 16 with a very limited knowledge of Pop Music, I knew on first listen, I was hearing something that had never been done before, and was ground breaking. It appears I was in good company as according to David Bowie who at that time was in West Germany recording his ‘Berlin Trilogy,’ his collaborator Brian Eno came running in and said, ‘I have heard the sound of the future,’ he puts on ‘I Feel Love.’He said, ‘This is it, look no further, this single is going to change the sound of club music for the next fifteen years.’
‘I Feel Love’ was written and produced by Giorgio Moroder and Peter Belotte (see also best songs 78,) it was first released on Donna Summer’s fifth studio Album, ‘I Remember Yesterday’ which was a concept Album. Each track was meant to evoke the sound of a different decade, for example a 60’s girl group (‘Loves Unkind,’) or the 1940’s feel of the title track. Moroder and Belotte wanted to create a track that would supposedly represent the future of Disco music to close the Album.
Before ‘I Feel Love’ most Disco music was played by orchestras, but Moroder who had been experimenting with Synthesizers for years borrowed a ‘Moog Modular 3P’ from the classical composer Eberhard Schoener, aided by Schoener’s assistant Robby Wedel they would create something unique for it’s time.
It is impossible to overstate the importance of this song as it went on to influence the genres of ‘New Wave,’ ‘House Music,”Techno,”Trance’ and ‘Electronic Dance Music.’
‘Ooh, it’s so good, it’s so good, it’s so good.’
