Today 44 years ago, on 2 June 1979 the late fab DONNA SUMMERstarted
a three week run at No.1 on the US Singles Chart with dance floor killer HOT STUFF.
An irresistible 24 Karat Gold disco standout. Sexy, sultry and shaky. In the UK it
peaked at #11. Now get out of your lazy couch, turn it up and make your move.
The late great voice (1946-2012) and disco diva DONNA SUMMER
topped the UK Singles Charts 45 years ago today, on 24 July 1977,
with the synth sensation of I FEEL LOVE, produced by Giorgio Moroder.
Mega Norwegian DJ star KYGO just loves to remix other artists. Last year he scored a hit with adding beats and bleeps to Whitney Houston’s cover of Steve Winwood’s Higher Love and last month he had a musical rendez-vous with soul legend Tina Turner to give her classic What’s Love Has To Do With It a new life.
And Kygo can’t get enough of it. His newest effort
is a remix of probably the greatest and best-known
disco floor banger ever. HOT STUFF by the late
great DONNA SUMMER.
This day 42 years ago, on 24 July 1977, the late soul queen of disco DONNA SUMMER landed on the spot of the UK Singles Chart with ‘I FEEL LOVE’ produced by genius Giorgio Moroder and his partner Pete Bellotte. In the US this immortal gem peaked at #6. It was one of the earliest EBM dance floor killers ever that influenced electronic dance music from then on and still does (check newest Chemical Brothers album).
Alex Turner‘s buddy MILES KANE released his new, third, solo album COUP DE GRACE
on 10 August. All summer long he played festivals to promote it. Yesterday he landed in Belgium at Crammerock Festival. Although he looked like a horny modern day Tarzan, the white dressed Kane played a rhapsodic kick-ass set. A thunderous rock and roll show from start to finish. So many artists love to pick a classic song from other famous artists
to cover at festivals in order to get ALL of the spectators going completely nuts. So did citizen Kane. His choice was somehow surprising, yet totally completely bang-on. DONNA SUMMER‘s timeless disco knockout Hot Stuff made thousands scream at the top of their lungs. Here’s that glorious momentum when performed at TRNSMT Festival in Scotland
on 1 July 2018…
