Yeah, I wonder if anyone's told the poster of this video that Giorgio Moroder collaborated with Daft Punk on...you guessed it...the song "Giorgio by Moroder".
Like other posters, I was amazed when I found out what year this came out. It's not just a great song; it's also so very ahead of its time. There are hints of all sorts of things to come here. Truly groundbreaking stuff, especially when combined with Summer's unmistakeable vocals...RIP, Donna.
This song was one of the milestones in sequencing electronic instruments in a continuous ever-changing phases... You wouldn't have the modern genre, such as Industrial, without what was pioneered here...
For those of you who are "surprised" that is was 1977, let me clue you in, in the 70's the US was behind on pretty much most music. If you were dancing in the clubs of Amsterdam, Paris, London, and Brussels...you were already well familiar with this sound in Europe.
Hi Tony, I'm French and I was a teenager in 1977...I confirm that we danced on Donna Summer's music and especially this one and I can say it was groundbreaking and greatly appreciated....and unforgettable...The proof, I'm listening to it 40 years later even with always as much fun !!! Greetings from France, music is timeless and has no borders...
Yes, I know now. Back then I didn't. And I'll admit to not hearing them until about 1980. I certainly didn't go out enough to hear them in a disco back then. You make a a good point. I love kraftwerk. I was just sharing a real experience that I had so long ago.
this is where pretty much, electronic dance music really began and yet, all of today's edm music hasn't even cracked the surface of what makes the song so timeless.
