Our LoveDonna Summer

Songwriter: Giorgio Moroder Donna Summer

Producer: Pete Bellotte Giorgio Moroder

[Verse-1]
Dropping you this line to give you peace
And to set your weary mind at ease
I know that it's rough when you're so far away
Listen to the words I have to say

[Hook]
Sometimes when you're gone, I don't know why
Find the simple need to sit and cry
It's not that I'm lonely or that I'm blue
It's just that I need to be with you

[Bridge]
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever

[Verse-2]
When I know our love is going strong
And I have all I need to carry on
And my mind and body seem to understand
That for me you are the perfect man

[Interlude]
Our love, our love

[Chorus]
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever

[Repeat 3x]

Donna Summer

As the unquestioned queen of disco, the one and only Donna Summer lit up the late 70s and 80s with flashy, exuberant vocals and automatic earworms. Born LaDonna Adrian Gaines on Dec. 31, 1948, Summer moved to Germany after being cast in a Munich production of Hair. There, she happened to meet Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and the trio conglomerated to form a dynamic music team. With Moroder, Summer forged together her first album, The Hostage, which reached moderate success in Northern Europe. Summer’s big break, however, would come later with the release of 1975’s sexual “Love to Love You Baby”, which became one of disco’s first mainstream hits and reached #2 on the Billboard Charts.

1977 came around with the concept album I Remember Yesterday, which featured the Top 10 single “I Feel Love”. The next year, Summer hit the silver screen with the movie Thank God It’s Friday, whose soundtrack featured one of her own the iconic “Last Dance.” This would later become one of the disco legends' signature songs. “Dance” would take home an Academy Award for Best Original Song, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe, and it jumped to a peak of #3 on the charts.

Yet Summer’s illustrious career was far from finished – Summer’s first live album Live and More featured the single “MacArthur Park”, a melting ballad that was a cover of the Jimmy Webb ballad of the same name. “Park” became Summer’s first – and perhaps most memorable – No. 1 hit, and cemented her status as a vocalist as well as a performer. With the track, she became the first female in modern rock history to hold the top spot in both the Hot 100 and the Billboard 200. 1979, though, would really be the peak of her career.
