Love to Love You Baby

Donna Summer recorded Love to Love You Baby at Musicland Studios in Munich in May and June 1975. Pete Bellotte produced the recording, with Giorgio Moroder on keyboards and co-writing alongside Summer and Bellotte. Love to Love You Baby became Summer's first major international hit and one of the first disco singles to break through in extended album-side form. It reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 4 on the UK singles chart in 1976. The record became a defining early Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder collaboration and was later named by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame among the songs that shaped rock and roll. Its long-form sensual club structure helped establish the 12-inch and album-length disco single as a mainstream format.
