Although there's nothing on 1976's FOUR SEASONS OF LOVE that approaches the commercial heights of 1975's "Love to Love You Baby"--a legendary 12-inch single that single-handedly invented the entire concept of the extended remix--the album is nonetheless a remarkable achievement. Written and produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Belotte, the four lengthy tracks--plus a brief reprise of the opening "Spring Melody"--chart the course of a love affair over four seasons. Perhaps most impressively, the album contains considerably more musical variety than the casual listener might expect from a Moroder/Belotte album. Only "Spring Affair" is the electronic Eurodisco which made Moroder and Belotte famous; the other three songs blend funk, jazz, soul, and pop into an artful and exciting dancefloor concoction. Largely overlooked now, FOUR SEASONS OF LOVE is overdue for critical reappraisal

One of the most talented artists of the disco era, Donna Summer first found success by teaming with producer Giorgio Moroder and developing a highly sexualized, hooky dance sound highlighted by percolating electronics and moaning, sensual vocals. An incredible run of hit singles established Summer as a genuine 1970s icon (an image she has unfortunately found it difficult to shake), and she later expanded her sound to encompass straight R&B and pop.
