Try me, try me, try me, try me just one time
Try me, try me, try me, try me anytime
Oh, try me for love
Baby, don't you think you should
Fill me, fill me, fill me, fill me full of love
Fill me, fill me, fill me, fill me to the top
Oh, fill me with love
Baby, is my loving good

I just want to feel your body close to mine
I just want to share your love and, baby, all the time
All the time

Oh, try me, try me, try me, try me just one time
Try me, try me, try me, try me anytime
Oh, try me for love
Baby, won't you try me for love

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know we can make it
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know we can make it

You've got an easy way to make me cry
My love for you
And I can tell by the hungry way you look
That you know just what to do
We can make it, if we try
We can make it, touch the sky

Chorus:
Try me I know we can make it
I know if we try
Try me I know we can make it
I know if we try
Try me I know we can make it
I know if we try
Try me I know we can make it
I know if we try

Try me, try me, oh, try me (repeat and fade)

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.
