Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte (with Donna Summer herself) wrote AND produced this disco classic. It helped cement Moroder's status as the King of Disco and Summer's as its Queen.
The song is pretty much a synth loop with simple vocals and a bangin' bassline, which seems pretty standard, but it was about a decade ahead of its time from a musical standpoint. The combination made for a huge hit, hitting top 10 charts worldwide throughout 1977 and playing in clubs for decades after disco "died".
The song, in a remixed version, would once again be a chart hit in Europe in 1995 following the release of a remix by Rollo and Sister Bliss, with rerecorded vocals by Summer. Remember that I said that the song was a decade ahead of its time. Here, nearly two decades later, it still sounded modern and in-place.
