Donna Summer's I Feel Love

2 July 1977: Number 3 in our series of the 50 key events in the history of dance music

If it felt like the sound of tomorrow in 1977, now it just sounds timeless. Summer's multi-tracked voice floats over a kick drum, an arpeggiated bassline and sumptuous synths, with Giorgio Moroder's sublime production at the heart of this record. It was one of the first to fully utilise the potential of electronics, replacing lush disco orchestration with the hypnotic precision of machines.
