17. Donna Summer: I Feel Love

Whoa. I had always assumed, I guess, that what I was listening to was some mid-1990s remix by some techno guys; I never thought what I was hearing was the actual 1977 version. It's very trancey. Appropriately sparse. Donna just feels the love and lets the super-repetitive electronics do the work.

PF500 tells me the only organic thing in the song is summer's voice, and this was apparently a big deal at the time.

Rating: 68 (if there's a higher rated disco song, I'll be surprised)

OK with it: Y
