GOTTA HAVE IT!.......2007-03-15

I was there. Nothing like "Love to Love You, Baby" (extended) had ever been heard before. And nothing like it since. I don't know that it kicked off the "disco era" (that had been around for awhile), but this song kicked it into the stratosphere overnight. Miss Summer and Mr. Moroder nailed a time in the civilized world that's never been equaled. Remember? A ten-year window in human history where making love was celebrated: post-fem-lib and pre-AIDS. There were other Disco Divas. Gloria Gaynor? "I Will Survive?" Thelma Houston? "Don't Leave Me This Way?" So many.

The extended cut of "Love to Love You, Baby" is worth every penny. It's the "Mona Lisa" of Disco.

But check out "Full of Emptiness." Never heard it before now, 30 years later. Amazing. Deceptively simple (YOU figure out the beat count and let me know: this takes Burt Bacharach and Hal David's slightly off-kilter measures in "Anyone Who Had a Heart" to unprecedented pop levels), endlessly listenable.

Gotta have it.

Donna Summer: LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY (1975).......2006-11-16

In 1975, Donna Summer released her second album entitled, LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY. This album is so much better than that of 1974's LADY OF THE NIGHT. I was really impressed with this album. It is an album that started Donna Summer's spotlight in the Disco era. Read on.

LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY
The first single from the album. This track, obviously being the album's title track, is simply amazing. Before the creation of this album, Donna Summer had only recorded this song, which ran to only 4:02 (four minutes, two seconds), where she then released it as a single. When the single was widely received all over the world, including the states, Casablanca Records (Donna Summer's record label) decided to make an album out of the single, where they took "Love To Love You Baby" and extended it into a Extended 12" format, where it runs to 16:51 (Sixteen minutes, fifty-one seconds). This is a classic song.

FULL OF EMPTINESS
Great.

NEED-A-MAN BLUES
Great.

WHISPERING WAVES
Awesome.

PANDORA'S BOX
Great.

FULL OF EMPTINESS (Reprise)
Great reprise.

I know, this is a very short album. But, the point is this short album is an awesome album, with an awesome full-length version of "Love To Love You Baby". Donna Summer fans should all have this in their collection.

A very different Donna Summer "record".......2006-07-24

'Love to Love You Baby' is very different from most of the albums Summer has made. Apart from her debut 'Lady of The Night', which this record most resembles, the records she made in the 70's were disco-synth, while in the 80's she switched to a more light rock-pop/rb sound. The only "disco" song here is the title song. The rest are sexy, moody rb/blues. This "record" is basically a single, with four short b-sides. The single of course would be 'Love to Love You Baby', which is almost 17 minutes long, and on the vinyl pressings took up the whole first side, which just made it seem more like a single. No wonder so many people never even bothered with side 2. This version of the song is a little strange, because it sounds like they connected a 10 minute version of the song with a 7 minute version, and tried to pass it off as one big song with an interlude in the middle. We get the basic song with the vocals, then a long interlude made up of complete silence and some instrumentals in the middle, and then all the sudden the song seems to start again right from the beginning. It's still good, but I think I perfer the radio edit. On side two, we get some pretty good bluesy/rb songs, along with a very short reprise of the sort of creepy 'Full of Emptiness' at the end. The best of these is 'Pandora's Box', which should have been a single. The thing that really dissapointed me was that Donna hardly ever shows off her voice on these songs except for on 'Pandora's Box'. All in all, I wouldn't reccomend this to someone who is just a fan of the song 'Love to Love You Baby', a casual Donna fan, or someone who wants to dance--you should get one of her compilations, which always have this song no matter what. But this is needless to say essential for big Donna Summer fans.

the queen of disco .......2006-07-11

this women open manys doors for many woman as far dance music she led the way for Madonna and gloria etsefan by the way madonna has said it herself many times is that donna summer is her main influence i saw donna on tv saturday talking about her career she talk about the hard that she had to go thought she said thankful for the hard times she was the 70,s she happy with the career she had madonna has made her own disco cd she would happy with.

Before "When Harry Met Sally"..........2006-06-18

The aforementioned theatrical film is known for Meg Ryan's simulated "orgasm" but it pales in comparison to Donna Summer's sexually-charged moaning in the title cut from the 1975 release, the song that brought her international recognition. In its vinyl incarnation, the title track took up the entire "A-side" and the singer would have a similar format in her next two releases.

But, it is this single song that stands as the spark that ignited the career of the singer that would define the "disco era".

And for that, this reviewer loves Donna, baby.

Sharon.......2006-01-08

Just got finished listening to this CD. Sharon's favorite is the six minute version of "Rock Your Baby" and "I Get Lifted." I like all 17 selections, but those 2 are definitely the best.

Barry Gibb from the Bee Gee's Annointed George the Leader!.......2005-11-21

Barry Gibb from the Bee Gee's was interviewed on Entertainment Tonight, and he was asked the question if the Bee Gee's started the disco revolution; Barry said no - he said that George McCrae of Rock the Boat; he meant to say Rock your Baby, and Donna Summers were the leaders of the disco revolution; RIP, George.

Classic single plus pleasant filler.......2002-05-12

Actually, this is the 1974 "Rock Your Baby" album minus the final track "Rock Your Baby (Reprise)", which is also available as an inexpensive import with the original cover art. The title track is an essential soul/disco classic, but the rest is merely agreeable filler.

Buy Only If You Really, Really Dig George..........2001-04-18

....George's Sound is Okay, but he's essentially a one hit wonder. For true fans only.

very soulful.......2000-11-18

there's some tight cuts on this set but it's Rock Your Baby that is the cut.that jam is very soulful.George Mccrae hits that note on this cut&more.this is a Great set.

More remakes---argh.......2005-10-22

Give me a break people. A tribute to Donna Summer with really bad remakes. The only track worth anything is the Laura Brannigan redo of Dim All The Lights. If you like that track then buy Laura's album its worth it. Other than that save your money and dont buy this sad CD of bad remakes. Here's an idea...how bout some fresh music. Between Hollywood and the record industry, the continuous reworking of old material is wearing thin.

Tribute to the queen.......2005-10-02

At last, a tribute CD to the lady who ignited dancefloors all over the world. This compilation is a tribute to Donna Summer and comprises some of Summer's hits covered by a diverse array of artists. Most of the songs had been released over the years, and a couple ('Could it be Magic' by Eldissaare and 'Last Dance by Status Fly') are new recordings.

Also available on this disc (and my reason for getting it, LOL!!) is the dance mix of Whenever There is Love by Donna and Bruce Roberts. 4 stars for this alone!!

Track list is as follows;

'No More Tears (Enough is Enough)' by Jocelyn Brown & Kim Mazelle
'Bad Girls' by Juliet Roberts
'Heaven Knows' by Michelle Weeks
'Love is in Control (Finger on the trigger)' by Sheena Easton
'Dim All The Lights' by Laura Branigan
'Dinner With Gershwin' by Brenda Russell
'Sunset People' by EG Daily
'Love to Love You Baby' by Tom Tom Club
'I Feel Love' - Soft Cell
'Whenever There is Love' by Bruce Roberts duet with Donna Summer
'More, More, More/Love to Love You Baby medley' by Samantha Fox
'Could it be Magic' by Eldissa
'Last Dance' by Status Fly

What can I say. Nobody could top a Donna Summer song. Sultry and breathy one minute, playful the next, fiery and powerful the next.

Juliet Lewis stays true to the original on 'Bad girls', while Eldissa and Status Fly try some jazzy innovations on 'Could it be magic' and 'Last dance' respectively. Brenda Russell (who penned the song) does her version of the fabulous 'Dinner with Gershwin'.

What with Donna Summer's fantastic cover of 'Power of love' on the Luther Vandross tribute CD 'So amazing' and her bubbly, upbeat iTunes exclusive 'I got your love', and her recent sold out summer tour of the US, methinks it is time for a Summer revival. Big time!

A smorgasbord of 20 years of covers...with a few disasters near the end.......2005-09-27

While Donna covers a Luther Vandross track on the new tribute CD to him, she gets her own tribute here. But rather than have artists do all modern takes on Donna's songs, this collection just gathers covers that have been done over the years, dating as far back as 1983. It actually has some rareties and plenty of divas. Here's my take on some of these tunes:

1. enough is enough...kym mazelle and Jocelyn browne (5:56) (surprisingly, this is a rather cheesy hi-nrg cover, the type you'd hear at a tea dance on fire island. Fun to listen to, though).

2. bad girls...Juliet Roberts (4:00) (very similar to the original, with an updated house rhythm. Good cover from mid-90s).

3. Heaven Knows...michelle weeks (4:07) (Slammin' cover from a few years back. Very peak hour-hunt down the longer version if you can. It's on a couple of circuit party compilations).

4. Love is in Control...sheena Easton (5:11) (really bad housey cover of what I consider one of Donna's worst recordings. Sheena sounds completely uninterested in singing this dull track. I don't blame her).

5. Dim All the Lights...laura branigan (4:44) (modest house version from Laura's greatest hits CD. Laura's powerful vocals give it a bit of a gritty edge).

6. Dinner with Gershwin...Brenda Russell (4:33) (Brenda covers her own song, considering she wrote it. Donna's version has a stronger, heavier beat).

7. Sunset People...EG Daily (4:35) (taken from EG's Wild Child LP way back in 86, you're not likely to find this one on CD anywhere else. Harold Faltemeyer produced her album, so the cover is in familiar hands here! It's given a more rock/synth 80s style remake).

8. love to love you baby...tom tom club (4:35) (They opted for this cover instead of the No Doubt version from the Zoolander soundtrack-another hot cover version. Recorded a few years ago, well past Tom Tom Club's prime, this is their trademark sound. Adolescent vocals, quirky synth blips, and a slow yet funky groove.)

9. I Feel Love...Softcell (5:48) (Um...someone's gonna get sued over this one. This is NOT softcell, it's Marc Almond solo in a duet with bronski beat/Jimmy Sommerville. It's also the I Feel Love/Johnny medley, not just I Feel Love, with a "love to Love you baby" outro. This is the shorter version, not the 12" version.)

10. Wherever there is love...Donna Summer & Bruce Roberts (4:06) (radio edit of the Junior Vasquez dance mix. The disc should have ended here....)

11. More more more/love to love you baby...samantha fox (4:18) (catchy medley of the Andrea True hit along with a hint of love to love you baby. And just for good measure, there's some Full Force/Samantha Fox banter, pretty much lifted directly from her other hits. Including this track to honor Donna is a real stretch).

12. Could it be magic...eldissa (4:03) (just AWFUL. A slow, jazzy cover of a donna summer cover of a barry manilow song??? Even Barry has recorded an updated dance mix. THAT should have been on here instead to honor Donna's dance version.)

13. Last dance...status fly (4:06) (UGH. A torchy, jazzy cover by a male vocalist. The last 2 tracks on this disc nearly ruined the whole thing).

Long Overdue Tribute to Donna Summer!.......2005-09-24

I cannot believe that there hasn't been a tribute album to Ms Donna Summer before this compilation!! Thanks KOCH for thinking of her. The songs on here are Donna Summer songs that have been covered over the last two decades. They include some of the big hits and some of Summer's lesser known, but still grand songs..My personal favorites are the EG Daily cover of Sunset People, Michelle Weeks cover of Heaven Knows, Sheena Easton's Love is in Control, Laura Branigan's Dim All The Lights, Brenda Russell's Dinner with Gershwin, & Juliet Roberts' Bad Girls.....I love the dance mix of Donna's duet with the multi-talented Bruce Roberts too! The two new recordings of Could It Be Magic & Last Dance are vastly different versions of the originals, more of a slower jazzy feel. There are definitely better covers out there...check out No Doubt's cover of Love to Love You Baby from the Zoolander soundtrack, Heart's cover of The Woman In Me, No More Tears covered by Andy Bell & KD Lang from The Coneheads soundtrack, I Feel Love covered by Blue Man Group, Vanessa Mae, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blondie & quite a few others....Also note that the track listings seems to be a bit off....These are the tracks:

No More Tears (Enough is Enough) by Jocelyn Brown & Kim Mazelle
Bad Girls by Juliet Roberts
Heaven Knows by Michelle Weeks
Love is in Control by Sheena Easton
Dim All The Lights by Laura Branigan
Dinner With Gershwin by Brenda Russell
Sunset People by EG Daily
Love to Love You Baby by Tom Tom Club
I Feel Love - Soft Cell
Whenever There is Love by Bruce Roberts duet with Donna Summer
More, More, More/Love to Love You Baby medley by Samantha Fox
Could it be Magic by Eldissa (new recording)
Last Dance by Status Fly (new recording)

All in all a worthwhile compilation!!!

Interesting!!!.......2005-11-21

The Fact That The Songs On This CD Are "Remakes" Is Never Mentioned In The Item Description And That Can Be Misleading. While They Are Remakes The Original Artist Is Involved In The Project Giving It An Authentic Feel.

I Was Initially Disappointed But After Listening A Few Times The Newer Versions (Especially "Baby Come Back") Grew On Me.
The Material Is A Bit Too Modern (By Using Sampling) But Interesting Enough To Keep.

absolutely wonderful, for both baby and mommy.......2002-09-19

The songs in the CD are popular and great children's songs. The performance was wonderful, the adults were great, so were the kid singers. The songs were adapted so that they cover a variety of musical styles, and the adaptation and mixing were wonderful, too. My 2.3-year-old can sing almost all the songs in the CD now. I also gave this CD as gifts for his little friends and his preschool class. Everyone loved it.

This has to be one of the best CDs for kids that I know of.

I like it too.......2002-09-17

The most important thing about kids albums is that they don't drive the parents nuts. I actually enjoy this album. It makes me want to dance with my kids (4 + 2). The fact that my kids like it too is also nice (they sing Itsy Bitsy Spider all of the time now).

Funk and Fun!.......2002-06-15

After teaching pre-school aged children for several years and being saturated with enough Raffi-like nursery rhymes to choke a 4 year-old, I was more than appreciative to hear the innovative and funk-da-fied monkeys. Whereas much of the pre-school music genre simply regurgitates--and does not remake--familiar nursery rhymes, the FunkeyMonkeys! team managed to sound like a lounge cover band, putting a very groovy spin on our most familiar nursery tunes. Moms and Dads will no longer roll their eyes and sigh in exhasperation when their children demand to hear their music. The whole family will derive enjoyment from this cd. My class and myself alike love groovin' to the beat of the 70's inspired "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and the soulful "Hush Little Baby", and take a breather while listening to the peaceful "Morning has Broken". Overall, an inventive composer, a group of enthusiastic children, and a creative lead vocalist have collaborated their talent to produce an album that is a perfect balance of funk and fun.

I love it!!!.......2002-06-06

I babysit for a 5 year old girl, who is madly in love with this CD. She asks me to put it on everyday. She loves to dance to it and sing along. It is truly funkey and fun for both adults and children!!!

Buy It.......2002-05-04

My two year old daughter absolutely loved it.
Nice change for her from the traditional nursery rhyme type
music to a more rhythmic mix. She would most often choose FunkeyMonkeys! over others

FILTER- Issue 10, Spring 2004, review by Chi Tung

High Heart and Low Estate
There's somethin' indescribably cool about having the keyboard as your most trusty instrument. Twiddle all the electrofuzz that you want, or go to town on the rotating voices effect, trying your darndest to f__k it all up, and you're still left with a steady strain of open-faced melody. Of course, it also helps when you're blessed with Baby Dayliner's Ian-Curtis-meets-Tom-Jones voiceover to keep everything from splattering together and making us think it's electroclash gone awry (again). In fact, to label
High Heart and Low Estate as anything at all would be to misrepresent its manifold influences- the descriptive coyness of Ben Folds in the opener `Raid,' the Belle and Sebastian wistfulness of `Madeline,' and The Streets' perverse street wisdom in `Hoodlums in the Hit Parade.' The slicker-than-rick barbs and surprisingly understated insights tell me that here's a man who has no problem with the piano being mightier than the sword. Because really, what's the use of a sword without rapier wit?

Solution to your hopelessness........2005-04-24

Baby Dayliner was once a full band but has devolved into a one-piece over time. Now, Baby Dayliner is simply Ethan Marunas, a guy with a terrific voice I think is similar to the likes of Ian Curtis, lead singer of the 1980s British post-punk band Joy Division. Marunas is paired with what I believe is a synthesizer and a cheap drum machine.

Put the three together and you find a marvelously catchy electronic pop sound. He has taken on the different styles of dance, pop, and rap, and created one of the best albums of 2004.

Although Marunas does dabble with rap on one or two songs (depending on what you consider "rapping") on the album, the previous reviewer(s) has taken this way too seriously. Saying that this album is a hilarious album from beginning to end is a grotesque exaggeration. Also, I don't think he really "ripped off" any band when he wrote any of these songs.

All in all, the album is a gorgeous work that I feel anyone can appreciate, from the smooth sounds of "Raid!," to the (surprising) bossa nova that is "Madeline," to the (needless to say) absurd rap parody "Shah With That," I think it is a Five Star, A+ CD, and you should buy it.

Minor New Romanticism.......2004-08-14

Brooklyn's Ethan Marunas (aka Baby Dayliner) is a lo-fi electroclash troubadour on his debut, High Heart & Low Estate. He dabbles, embarrassingly, with rap convention and hip-hop rhythms. He's the whitest rhymer you could imagine. Luckily, most of his tunes are more indebted to the brighter sides of New Order, Duran Duran and, for a more modern comparison, Franz Ferdinand. In fact, his real talent lies in reinventing the melodies of the new romantics. Opener "Raid!" is an ace New Order rip. "Funeral Dirge" is like Modern English tune played with two fingers on the piano. "Lullabies" has a melancholy melody reminiscent of prime OMD. After that it's hit or miss, and decidedly minor.

Baby Dayliner ROCKS!!!.......2004-05-19

This CD is hilarious, Hoodlums in the Hit Parade is the funniest outlook of rap I've heard. The last song is entertaining as well. I think this may have been more sucessful as a complete parody CD, but some of the songs aren't that entertaining. All and all worth a listen to get a few laughs.

Good looking guy.......2004-04-24

This is a band that grew up admiring 69 Love Songs by Magnetic Fields. It's a one-man band in fact. Baby Dayliner is a lot better looking than Stephin Merritt. Don't hate him because he is beautiful. This is rocking electro funk on most of the record. I heard that he dances around like Chromeo and Har Mar Superstar. That would be something to see. It's a little karaoke with a little style. It's the Momus for the 21st Century. Most of the songs meander in the realms of love and hopelessness. It's not like we are laughing at Baby Dayliner. It's earnest. It's wanting. Find this guy a significant other. Actually we do laugh sometimes. Please love this guy now. You will feel better about yourself.
