Music reviews of I Remember Yesterday

Music Review: Take a little Summer with you!
Rating: 5 Stars

`I remember yesterday' is the album Donna Summer released in 1977, showcasing a variety of musical and vocal stylings. A concept album which was both retro, including the sleeve photos, and forward looking at the same time.

Opening track `I remember yesterday' is 40s big band jazz meets disco, complete with some scat. A UK top 20 hit.

This segues into `Love's unkind', the tale of a school girl's unrequited crush, and is a girl group stomp. A UK no.3 hit.

This also segues into `Back in love again', an excellent Motown/Supremes pastiche with excellent harmonies. A UK top 30 hit.

Closing out the medley is a reprise of `I remember yesterday'.

`Black lady' has Donna belting out to a horn laden blaxploitation/Shaft sounding number. It's an energetic, funky number with fiery vocals. Great!

Next comes the synthesizer driven dance number `Take me' with yearning, sensual lyrics sung in falsetto. A standout.

`Can't we just sit down and talk it over is the only ballad on the album, and the only non Summer/Moroder/Bellotte composition. A tender ballad about the sad end of a romance, it has Donna belting out. This was originally the A side of the last track...

...'I feel love'. The song that was (and still is) years ahead of it's time. The grandmother of techno/trance/electronica/whatever you call it.

This simple, yet intricately layered song was the first hit comprised entirely of Moog synthesizers. The song that had John Lennon say `This is the future' when he heard it.

Featuring Donna singing in an ethereal falsetto to a synthesized wall of sound which rises and falls, and which featured a break where we hear nothing but synth and drums, before other effects start filtering in, a technique she would use on other songs like `Now I need you', `Working the midnight shift', `Lucky', and `She works hard for the money'. A UK no.1 for 4 weeks, and a US no.6 which sold a million copies.

A fitting way to close this musical journey in time, by looking into the future.

Needless to say, the album was certified gold in the US. In my opinion, one of her best albums, and the start of her including different elements in her music.

To quote the famous line from this album; `Wherever you go, take a little Summer with you'.
