Recorded live in concert at
the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, LIVE AND MORE ENCORE!
is Donna Summer's first album on Epic/Sony Music and sounds like
the perfect vehicle to remind what being one the of premiere
talents in today's pop music is about. The set includes eight
US top five singles, seven Grammy nominated performances and
several international chart toppers (including THIS TIME I KNOW
IT'S FOR REAL and I FEEL LOVE, recently dubbed as "the disco
pinnacle"). Donna is capable of many great
things, as most of us know, but after listening to this recording
I would say that it's her capability of conveying emotions that
makes her truly unique. Beyond her amazingly warm and powerful
voice, beyond the spectacular way she sings on top of the beat,
there is a wide range of emotions that Donna seems to experience
firsthand when she's on stage and that's how she grasps her audience.
Listen to MAC ARTHUR PARK, NO MORE TEARS, DIM ALL THE LIGHTS,
SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY or the magic she works on the new
track MY LIFE and you'll see. LIVE AND MORE ENCORE!
contains two studio recorded tracks as well: I WILL GO WITH YOU
(an elecrifying disco version of Andrea Bocelli's CON TE PARTIRO')
and LOVE IS THE HEALER (a wild yet spiritual dance number co-written
by Donna). To say they both sound like golden hits would be an
understatement, since Donna's vocals just get more and more intriguing
and powerful with time...
