When it comes to earthshaking songs--the ones that signal a tectonic shift in the current musical landscape--there is Johnny B. Goode . . . there is Good Vibrations . . . and there is I Feel Love. A disco touchstone recorded by Donna Summer in 1976 and released on her fifth studio album, I Remember Yesterday, in 1977, I Feel Love is one of the most important records in music history, and one of the most influential.
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. I Feel Love still sounds like the future.
