Apt!!
Originally a 1933 Arlen and Koehler jazz number, young me hit the dancefloor immediately on hearing ithis number for the 1st time, after loving Elisabeth Welch's version in Jarman's ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต a few years earlier. ๐บ๐ป

Day 9: Donna Summer's ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ญ ๐๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ [Patrick Cowley Megamix] (1978)
Another boogalicious belter. Appearing in the underground disco scene, a year after the song's original summer '77 release (co-written by Moroder), Cowley's EDM mastery only enhances this stunning Hi-NRG track๐บ๐ป

Kitchen discos abounded in lockdown, and Kylie helped bring that to fruition with her awesome ๐๐ช๐ด๐ค๐ฐ album,
which proved as contagious as COVID.
Also, the mental countdown to every weekend is still ticked off daily at work! ๐บ๐ป

Co-written,& produced by Moroder, this building gay disco anthem is uplifting ++
A strings-laden version, rerecorded,in '97, had Jimi Somerville on vocals,& was produced by Visconti, but the OG long at 7ยฝ minutes is my jam! ๐บ๐ป
