Donna Summer Album: “Melody of Love (Wanna Be Loved) [CD #1]”

This is an older song that I just discovered and let me tell you,,this one is great..This is the voice that I fell in love with as a child..The mixes are very great,,if you love DS you will love this Maxi-Single!!

Melody of Love went number 1 in 1994. I was exposed to it by the David Letterman show. She blew the roof off the place. There in that special time of Ce Ce Peniston's Finally,Regina Belle's I'll Be Around,and Coles and Cliville's Everybody Sweat Now arose from the ashes like a great Phoenix Miss Donna Summer atop of all others. Get this one and On The Radio Vol.1&2 Greatest Hits and you'll be set for New Years. the Christmas Song is also on this Cd single,It's Great!

Melody of Love also appears on Endless Summer with the 7"versions of her radio hits for the purist.

No, this is not a remake of Boby Vinton's signature song !

Melody of Love is one of a string of Dance Music tracks recorded by Donna Summer since her last studio album from 1991, Mistaken Identity. In this case Melody of Love was one of 2 new tracks included with the 1994 Greatest Hits Collection, Endless Summer.

Melody of Love follows the framework of a Donna Summer classic. That being a slow, ballad intoduction, that kicks into a high energy dance anthem. Her voice shines to new heights, and she once again showed her contemporaries at that time who the REAL Diva is.

Included here are a number of mixes with the Classic Club Mix, and the original track my personal favs.

Also included here is a version of her classic, On The Radio, and a track from her oustanding Christmas Spirit album, The Christmas Song.

Don't we all just "Wanna Be Loved"

....and a bit of Donna Trivia, back in the mid-70's when Donna was just starting out, one of the first network TV shows that she guest appeared on was an episode of the Bobby Vinton Show.
