Love To Love You Baby (CD)

One of the most talented artists of the disco era, Donna Summer first found success by teaming with producer Giorgio Moroder and developing a highly sexualized, hooky dance sound highlighted by percolating electronics and moaning, sensual vocals. An incredible run of hit singles established Summer as a genuine 1970s icon (an image she has unfortunately found it difficult to shake), and she later expanded her sound to encompass straight R&B and pop.

LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY was the album that started it all, in more ways than one. Although this was not Donna Summer's first recording--in her adopted home of Germany during the early '70s, she'd recorded with such producers as Peter Thomas and the resulting material has been re-released several times over--it was her first with the songwriting and production team of Giorgio Moroder and Pete Belotte. The first fruit of this collaboration, the legendary title track, single-handedly invented the extended disco mix, when an 18-minute version became a dancefloor classic.

Summer's blatantly orgasmic moans make Jane Birkin's squeaks on Serge Gainsbourg's similar "Je T'Aime…Moi, Non Plus" sound like she's yawning, and still startle today. Of the others, only the jazzy "Pandora's Box" is entirely up to the title track's standards, but those two songs are nearly two-thirds of the brief album's total running time, while the others are more inconsequential than actively bad.
