Aug 6, 2009 - You're so right! The thing i have trouble understanding (i was born in the early 90s) is why was't this a huge worldwide hit. On paper it seems so perfect yet it only reached no. 41 in US and no. 14 in Uk!??? Number 1 in Holland though...

Aug 8, 2009 - It was big in Italy, Spain and other European countries. I think it charted high here in Argentina where I live. They play it on the radio a lot. I think it was a big R B hit on the American charts.

Aug 12, 2009 - She didn't speak highly for the album when it was released and she said this album is her least favorite out all of the albums she did . But, personally, I think this is Donna's best work yet. Thanks to all involved in this self-titled album from 1982.

Aug 18, 2009 - Michael Jackson was singing in the background in different songs of Donna Summer and he wrote a couple of songs for her too. I thought he wrote this song for Donna Summer too, but I don't know for sure....

Aug 31, 2009 - LiteraryWriter, if you don't believe in God, you can't really believe in angels either! :) If you feel so strongly about her, go meet her. People won't be alive forever. By the way, don't forget to tell your relatives you would like this song played at your funeral or it may never happen.

Sep 12, 2009 - Well... that is "GOD". Someone who has 'something'(NOT material per say but 'teachings') you don't, or something bigger/better than you imparting you with what 'they' have. Read the bible....everything was 'passed down' from Adam down to Jesus to......us! (hopefully but unfortunately not efficiently due to "religion" which makes "the word of GOD to no effect"(thats quoted from the bible Google it!)). Great Comment "Seek and you shall find!" Even the bible acknoweldges other 'gods'

yesiammark Says:

Sep 26, 2009 - Jon Anderson wrote this song and allowed Donna Summer to cover it. She did a good job...check out the original version of this song by the artist who wrote it...Jon Anderson with Vangelis playing most of the music...a much better version!
