Donna Summer, the prominent figure of ’70s disco, collaborated with legendary producer Giorgio Moroder to create a momentous album in 1977. Summer’s rise began with the sensual “Love To Love You Baby,” their first significant hit, characterized by its provocative moans. The album “I Remember Yesterday” encompassed a unique concept, aiming to traverse eras from the ’40s to the future. Tracks like the upbeat ’40s-inspired title track and the ’50s rock’n’roll vibe of “Love’s Unkind” achieved chart success, while “Back In Love Again” delivered a Motown/Supremes homage. “Black Lady” exuded a blaxploitation influence, and the future-oriented “I Feel Love” utilized pioneering synthesizer techniques, establishing itself as a groundbreaking pop hit recorded with synthesized backing. The track’s stereo effect even influenced dance styles on the dance floor. “I Feel Love” directly influenced the electro and techno revolutions of the ’80s and ’90s. This album, cherished by artists like Blondie’s Debbie Harry and the Scissor Sisters’ Ana Matronic, left a lasting impact on the disco and dance music landscape. The album’s initial vinyl and CD releases remain the most noteworthy.
