Subject: Donna Summer Singles Poll

Written By: xSiouXBoIx on 10/21/07 at 10:14 pm

She had several more singles than these in the 70's, but I only listed the more recognizable ones.

My top 5 Donna Summer songs of the 70's are not even on this list. She had SO many great album tracks that don't get any recognition. My top 10 Donna Summer songs of her entire career would mostly be made up of album tracks. But anyway, I like 'Love To Love You Baby' the best out of the singles listed here.

I love Heaven Knows, Bad Girls, On the Radio, and Last Dance (the 8 minute version).

My vote would be for "Down Deep Inside (Theme From The Deep)" which is not listed.

Heaven Knows is my fave. ....although I chose the wrong one in the poll section...but Dim all the Lights is great too.

I added a "other" option, so you can sort of vote for a single not listed.

I like On The Radio, a hit from her 1979 Greatest Hits album, even though it did not chart until 1980

Not a huge Donna Summer fan but liked some of her songs.  I picked 'Dim All The Lights'.

This is seriously the BEST Donna Summer song ever, and one of my favorite songs of all time, and it wasn't a single!!

which puts it in the 1979-80 "cusp" :-\\

I might vote for that one, or maybe "Hot Stuff."

"I Feel Love" for that sultry soul vocal backed with robotic synthesizers and Giorgio Moroder's characteristic thump thump thump!

Neither are her other notable successes from 1977 (in Britain, anyway)...'I Remember Yesterday' and 'Love's Unkind'...

Those two came from a concept album (rare for a disco act!) called 'I Remember Yesterday', in which Donna performed all the songs in a periodic style (the title track was done in a 40s mood, while 'Love's Unkind' was her rendition of 50s teen-pop...)

The 'future' sound on the LP was given over to 'I Feel Love' (which indeed was a good half a decade before its time...)

There shouldn't be any need to worry, as there is a radio-friendly version of the song about...

However, back in the day, there wasn't...and I do vividly recall the song being 'skipped' on the Top 40 rundown...

It took me a few years to find out why!  :o
