Infos

When it comes to earthshaking songs-the ones that signal a tectonic shift in the current musical landscape-there is "e;Johnny B. Goode"e; . . . there is "e;Good Vibrations"e; . . . and there is "e;I Feel Love."e; A disco touchstone recorded by Donna Summer in 1976 and released on her fifth studio album, I Remember Yesterday, in 1977, "e;I Feel Love"e; is one of the most important records in music history, and one of the most influential. "e;I Feel Love"e; topped charts the world over-including in the UK, Australia, France, Italy, and the Netherlands-and was in the Top 10 everywhere else. This record, Brian Eno told David Bowie as they worked together in the recording studio, "e;is going to change the sound of club music for the next fifteen years."e; Which, said Bowie, "e;was more or less right."e; Except fifteen years was an under-estimation. Even now, more than forty years after its release, "e;I Feel Love"e; is routinely featured toward the top of manifold "e;greatest song"e; Top 100s-and remains a favorite by music fans and artists alike, with dozens of cover versions paying homage.That is the tale this book tells-not only the story of the song but also the story of its all-pervading impact upon the world of popular music. Firsthand experiences and original interviews with a host of musicians, disc jockeys, and dancers loudly illustrate the record's initial impact and its continuing influence. "e;I Feel Love"e; still sounds like the future.
