Flawless Donna

The first time I heard "Spring Affair" was in one of more popular discoteque clubs of Los Angeles when disco just hit the scene and was in full swing. You had to have been there, to actually believe the incredible night life disco stirred, not only in dancing, but the freedom in sexuality. It was amazing, and I doubt we will ever see or witness another musical phenomenom quite like it. It is very difficult to forget seeing an entire room full of people dancing the bus stop or hustle in total unison, all on one huge dance floor. Donna definitely was at the pinnacle of it all, and broke ground on musical genre that has no equal.
Listening to this particular album is like opening an interior photo album, with images hard to explain and best kept in my heart and soul.
The way DJs in those days mixed and randomly remixed music, makes this album remarkable because they allowed Miss Donna Summer to sing out the totality of her full length songs upping the bass beats at the proper moments. She was undefiably the queen of disco, with regards to Gloria Gaynor, Diana Ross, Thelma Houston, and the like.
I was, and will always be an avid Donna Summer fan, no matter where she goes, because I too was a disco disc jockey during this important era, and don't regret a single moment. It is very welcome to outstretch the future world's technologies with updates, downloads, and digitally remastered versions of some of the best music this planet ever garnered. November 25, 2007

Donna Summer's Four Seasons of Love

This is early pre-1979 Donna Summer. If you like that silky sexual disco sound of that period, you'll enjoy this. It is a continous mix of 5 songs, one of them being a reprise. The orchestration is really fun to listen to especially on "Summer Fever" and "Spring Affair" Although Ms. Summer doesn't really perform these songs anymore, this recording will take you back to what I think was a much happier and freer time during the mid 70's. I enjoy listening to it. April 23, 2007

"Four Seasons" of a Relationship

Let me just start by saying: This is, by far, some of Donna Summer's best work to date, with some awesome production from the Moroder/Bellotte team. The title of the album is pretty much self-explanatory. It is essentially the cycle of a relationship through the course of the seasons.

"Spring Affair" introduces us to Ms. Summer's love interest. You can almost feel the happiness in her voice as she sings, "Just the man I hoped you'd be..." By the end of the song, I found myself on the edge of my seat waiting to see what the next level of the relationship would be.

"Summer Fever" was my answer. You can feel the heat oozing through the speakers as she describes her passionate trysts with her lover. Like the old saying goes, though, "All good things must come to an end."

You can sense something wrong in the relationship through the lyrics of "Autumn Changes." She knows the demise of her relationship is just around the bend, but doesn't want it to end as she saying, "Surely something can help to patch it up." By the end of the song, the relationship is over, and there's a definite chill in the air.

"Winter Melody" sees Ms. Summer stroking her wounds, reminiscing in front of the fire she has going in her fireplace. You can hear the sadness in her voice at the loss of her love.

But then the snow begins to melt, and "Spring Reprise" has her falling for a new beau.

Definitely a must-have for any Donna Summer fan! November 20, 2006

Donna Summer: FOUR SEASONS OF LOVE (1976)

In October of 1976, Donna Summer released her fourth album entitled, FOUR SEASONS OF LOVE. This album is the first of two concept albums delivered to our hands by Donna Summer. The concept of this album is as the title explains: FOUR SEASONS OF LOVE, describing love in all four seasons. Still confused? All right, read on.

SPRING AFFAIR
The first single from the album. An awesome song that describes a love affair during the beautiful season of Spring.

SUMMER FEVER
An awesome song describing a hot steamy affair during the sweaty season of Summer.

AUTUMN CHANGES
A great song describing an affair during the cool breezes of Autumn.

WINTER MELODY
A beautiful track describing the affair during the beautiful white snowy days of Winter.

SPRING (Reprise)
A great reprise to "Spring Affair".

This was a great concept album, and, again, it gave Donna Summer, yet another major hit: "Spring Affair". Great album, and it should already be owned by all Donna Summer fans. November 16, 2006
