🇺🇸 Donna Summer "Our Love" – 1979

Written by Summer and Giorgio Moroder and produced by Moroder and Pete Bellotte, the track combines a steady disco pulse with shimmering synthesizers and an almost hypnotic repetition of its central refrain. It is less about the dancefloor than about creating a sensual, romantic atmosphere...

Inspiration for the "Blue Monday" bass drum?

🇬🇧 Nick Straker Band "A Walk in the Park" – 1979

The bright, breezy melody and disco groove suggest pure escapism, but the song was actually born out of frustration. Nick Straker came up with the idea while walking through Battersea Park after an argument with his girlfriend. The 12" version gives the groove even more room to breathe...

🇬🇧 David Bowie "John, I'm Only Dancing" – 1972

One of Bowie’s great non-album singles from the Ziggy Stardust era. The lyrics were deliberately provocative for 1972, with their ambiguous sexuality contributing to the song’s reputation. RCA considered it too risqué for an American release at the time. In Britain it reached No. 12 in the singles chart...

GERRY RAFFERTY
Baker Street
1978 France 7” single

A quick little spin during breakfast. 🥞
I found this at a thrift store late yesterday afternoon.
Picture sleeve is perfect, vinyl condition is perfect.

Who doesn’t like a little “Baker Street”?

It’s just such a great tune.
One of the most instantly recognizable saxophone riffs maybe ever (courtesy of the great Raphael Ravenscroft), which is why I loathe and despise the Foo Fighters version, as the sax is replaced by an electric guitar.

If I were being honest, I’d say I hate the Foo Fighters in general.

Anyway, an absolute masterpiece tune.
You know it’s part of the fabric of culture when The Simpsons uses it.
TWICE!
