Customer Reviews
Pop & dance music with personality
It's Summer's disco music that has best withstood the passing time in my opinion. The dance anthem I Feel Love and the soaring fast-paced MacArthur Park are representative of her versatility in the middle to late 1970s, whilst rock guitar infuse Hot Stuff and Bad Girls with an urgency & gravitas that disempowered the foes of disco. The 1979 album Bad Girls was a triumph with its electro-pop tracks Our Love, Lucky & Sunset People plus moving ballads like On My Honor & There Will Always Be A You.
The greatest hits on The Journey include the plaintive ballad On The Radio, the up-tempo albeit tuneless duet with Streisand as well as a variety of pop songs in different styles. She Works Hard For The Money is a mid-80s stomper; the then-famous producers Stock, Aitken, Waterman gave Donna a well-deserved hit with the breezy This Time I Know It's For Real at the end of that decade. The most interesting are the two Quincy Jones produced tracks Love Is In Control & even more so, State of Independence with its complex yet appealing arrangement & sublime vocals.
The bonus disc on the Import Edition contains more magic, particularly the original long version of Love to Love You Baby and two striking mixes of I Feel Love & Hot Stuff. This compilation is just a sampler of Donna Summer's huge contribution to popular music since the 1970s, but still a good showcase of some of her most memorable moments. There's a variety of Best Of & Greatest Hits collections; fans that prefer her disco phase might be more interested in The Dance Collection that contains the entire MacArthur Park Suite.
LOVE IT!!
I have been a Donna Summer fan since the 70's, although I haven't seen her in concert I do have quite a few of her albums, (that gives you an indication of how long I have been following her!!). I bought this cd because it has most of her best songs, I read the other reviews before buying it and knew that I would not be sending it back. This is oh so true! I absolutely love it!! I play it all the time, I dance around to it (not a pretty sight!), and I will be purchasing another one for the car, and perhaps a third one, just in case something happens to the other two!! This is a must have for any body who loves to relive the days of disco!!!
All the Best
I searched for a whle to get a CD with all Donna Summer's best hits. This is it. Top stuff.
