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. "I Feel Love" 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, "is going to change the sound of club music for the next
fifteen years." Which, said Bowie, "was more or less right." Except
fifteen years was an under-estimation. Even now, more than forty
years after its release, "I Feel Love" is routinely featured toward
the top of manifold "greatest song" 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. "I Feel Love" still sounds like the future.
