About This Track

“I Feel Love” is a song by Donna Summer, taken from her 1977 concept album I Remember Yesterday. The song originally symbolised the ‘future’ segment of the album, which loosely depicted a musical trip through time. The title track of the I Remember Yesterday album represented the 1940s, “Love’s Unkind” the 50s, “Back in Love Again” the 60s, while the album concluded with the futuristic “I Feel Love”. The song reached number one in the UK Singles Chart, number six on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, and number nine on the Hot Soul Chart.

Before “I Feel Love”, most disco recordings were backed by acoustic orchestras. Although such mid 1970s bands as Kraftwerk had pioneered all-electronic music, it has been said that this song is the first disco-style song recorded with an entirely synthesized backing track, and has been enormously influential in the development of disco, electronica, house and techno thanks to Giorgio Moroder’s innovative production. In particular, the song popularised the insistent, robotic bass line, which has been frequently imitated ever since.

According to David Bowie, then in the middle of his own groundbreaking ‘Berlin Trilogy’, its impact on the genre’s direction was recognized early on:

“One day in Berlin … Brian Eno came running in and said, ‘I have heard the sound of the future.’ … he puts on ‘I Feel Love’, by Donna Summer … He said, ‘This is it, look no further. This single is going to change the sound of club music for the next fifteen years.’ Which was more or less right. ”

    So many dance divas after her have tried and failed to replicate the magic, space age, strangely erotic and ever so slightly haunting sounds and excellent vocals of "I Feel Love." A true milestone in secular music history! [3]

    Back in 1977, we used to joke that it sounded like she was singing "Guppy Love," and that seemed to be a very sweet sentiment. RIP LaDonna Gaines, and thanks for the good times that this and other songs brought me and my friends back in the day.

    RIP Donna. This was probably your greatest legacy. The full version is eight minutes and thirteen seconds of disco heaven that changed music forever. Love you.

    I've been playing all of Donna's albums since I heard the news, and when 'I Feel Love' came on, I had to turn it right up. When I was a kid, it was 'that song on the radio' which made you stop what you were doing and listen. Even now, it still has that power over me, the difference being I can play it anytime I want. Today, it was even more powerful. (Of course, let's not forget the contributions of Messrs Moroder and Bellotte in the creation of this song)

    Goodbye Donna Summer. Along with Giorgio Moroder she created an utterly unique record that changed music. The wonderful "I Feel Love" is still influencing people today and I suspect it might for a long time to come. It will always be one of my most cherished records.
