Produced by Quincy Jones. Could've done without the whistles in this one.

I like it. It's very funky. It very much reminds me of The Jacksons.

I like it. This album had a handful of great songs. Quincy was on fire around this time.

Quincy wasn't a great match for her overall, but there were some highlights on this album. This was definitely one of them. And I'm such a sucker for a sax solo.

Summer's career is so interesting. Is there a good documentary or biography on her career?
I hadn't quite realized the timeline of her career. I knew she and Moroder were a great pair in the 70s, of course. It seems like the move to Geffen hurt her. This album with Quincy Jones was a bit of a comeback on the Hot 100 and then She Works for the Money was a success. She then essentially fell off except for "This Time I Know It's For Real."

As a mega Donna stan I'd say the move did hurt her and also the death of disco. Donna Summer was seen as a disco artist at the time and disco had been removed from top 40. Donna did not want to keep her sexual image and the label did not know what to really do with her so they experimented with different sounds. They really expected this album to be huge...but...yeah. There really should be a Donna Summer documentary because she has had an interesting/successful career. I hate how her legacy is kinda silent. |

To add to this Donna was also having issues with Casablanca records...she wanted to move on and they wouldn't let her go and she was ripped off. Which is sad, she sold all those records and did not start making big money until she signed sith Geffen. (1.5M advance per album).

Decent but I prefer her earlier disco hits from the late 70s and her 1989 comeback hit "This time I know it's for real".
