Donna Summer - Live and More Encore!

Donna Summer - Live and More Encore! (1999)

The Disco Diva

Since her '70s heyday as disco's reigning diva (and one of its most adventurous artists), Donna Summer has scored the odd hit: "She Works Hard for the Money," "This Time I Know It's for Real." She's still best remembered for the likes of "Last Dance," "Dim All the Lights," and "I Feel Love," though, and this VH1-tie-in comeback bid concentrates on full-bodied if somewhat murkily mixed versions of those classics and their kin. The two new studio cuts that round out the disc are OK at best, although they do display Summer's ability to adapt to changes in pop-dance sounds.

Interesting facts

Live & More Encore is a live album released by Donna Summer in 1999, an edited version of a televised concert of the same name. Released on Sony Music's sublabel Epic, it features a live concert which had been filmed especially for the VH-1 channel, and also two new dance tracks, including a re-working of "Time to Say Goodbye", a semi-classical song previously made popular by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. Summer's dance version of the song is titled "I Will Go with You ". Both of the album's two studio recordings, the other being "Love Is the Healer", reached No. 1 on the US Dance chart, with "I Will Go with You" nominated for a Grammy as Best Dance Recording.
