The track was originally written and recorded by Jon Anderson & Vangelis on their 1981 album 'The friends of Mr. Cairo'. Donna Summer recorded her version a year later on her 1982 self-titled album, with Quincy Jones producing. Her version of the song features an all-star choir including among others Michael Jackson, Brenda Russell, James Ingram, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Loggins, Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder.
I've always loved that song. Brian Eno rates it highly too. Guess we must all be on to something hey Mona.

ReplyDeleteHmmm! Maybe we just all have impeccable taste...a friend posted it on FB and then reminded me that I had sold him the record to spin back when it was released so...
