MUSIQUE - SUMMER LOVE (Original Vocal 12"Inch)

[TheCOUNTMAURICE]

guys should check out vamp music inc.

[cobolsaurus]

It sound a lot like SalSoul!

[mike22302]

I agree, wholeheartedly, DANCE MUSIC TODAY IS STILL DISCO!!!!!

[w00llyback]

House music evolved from disco. (dubstep evolved from house so that means dubstep is disco ohh nooo!)

[Tony2659]

Brings back good memories at the upstairs lounge in brooklyn......

[akuTee2010Elle]

i honestly think that Disco and House music missed each other by but a mere decade or so,, we have to reunite the 2 now ,,its a beautiful combination :) ;)

[maurangoutang]

I always felt the burning of those records was a form of aggression of the type that is provoked by ignorance and fear of the unknown, like the fear of not understanding other sensibilities, including sexual preferences. Disco was considered a homosexual taste in the United States and represented a new type of European sophistication and irony. The burning of those records is an infantile self-portrait of all those who favoured it and ultimately, and act of homophobia.

[tbenyard]

This truly brings back great memories of when people went out to dance and have fun. Disco may have been short lived but it closed many racial and gender gaps. I had friends of all races and preferences. This was the best time of my life and I still have this album and many more disco albums from this time in my life. Thanks for the memories.

[wonderboyjoy]

@tbenyard it also closed sexuality prejudices. we all danced together having fun. to hear the music as you arrived and people whooping and hollering on the floor. fantastic times. ultimately, homophobia and the advent of aids helped to end the disco era. people moved on. but i don't care what anyone says...dance music today is still DISCO.

[rosanastereo]

@wonderboyjoy . "dance music today is still DISCO." I couldn't agree more. Viva Disco!

[bill123821]

THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVS...BRINGS BACK ALOT OF MEMS...

[630averagejoe]

I MISS BASEMENT PARTIES!!!

[chocletboi]

I LOVE THIS SONG !!!

[haroldt101]

This is indeed a classic. This, Cerrone's Love in C Minor, Celi Bee's Superman, Andrea Tru, NY NY You've Got Me dancing and so many more.. Oh ya, Mass Production, Welcome To Our World... great stuff

[Evodio65]

Que lindas Nenas de la portada so Sexy :>)

[sjr10011]

Turn it up!!!

[exoticlonghair]

oigo esta cancion y me hace llorar pero de alegria,porque me trae recuerdos del sur-vivo en el caluroso y feo Mexicali-,me hace acordarme de cuando vivia en Morelia y despues en Guadalajara, con esas tardes y noches preciosas sobre todo cuando llovia,me hace recordar las estaciones de radio que tocaban este tipo de musica,que aqui no hay por desgracia;nunca he tenido un amor de verano-aun-,pero esta cancion es un agasajo al oido.

[mrob75]

@exoticlonghair Amen!

[1axalove]

Thank You for posting!! My mom bought this album for me when I was 12, even though she didn't approve of 'Push Push'. Didn't a certain rock & roll magazine vote this 'worst disco record of all time'? I LOVED it and it's one of the few I still have! (Still has the price sticker,too- $5.95 LOL)

[mmmwww9999]

Call it disco, dance music, club or whatever, it will never disappear because people will always want to dance...I'm just glad I was part of it....

[phloralhall]

Fabulous track! Anthemic sound and those wonderful high strings - real proper strings too. Patrick Adams the producer, did a great job here. Still have the 12" and the album it's from on vinyl - sounds better than the CD.

[InfinityNebula]

This music still touches your heart-Too bad that cant be said of todays garbage music with no real musicians~! People used to look forward to hearing this music in the clubs and at home on a real good stereo I have this Jam on vinyl today and transfered it onto cd sounds incredible!!

[04TOTOMAN]

Un gran track que no figuró en las listas pero era buenisimo!!!! Quedaba muy bien para mezclarlo con cualquier melodía!!!!!! wwwooooooowwwww!!!!!

[ralph459]

Great summer that year.. Going to school in ATL and flying from Newark.. This song made the summer...

[dreadtodred]

disco had some the best muscians,in my opinion

[Vincent50]

I remember seeing this group of woman who sang to the tracks I believe in 1980 and they were cute and did a good job. That's when disco was fun and did I have me some super times back then. My family and I would just have our house jumping with the latest stuff. This group we loved and my sister bought the album but "Push Push IN the Bush" was the best!

[DJRyanJones]

But it HAS come back.  :)

[LSincere7]

Aweome, Awesome track. I agree with the previous comments that the intention of the writer, musicians and vocal performers are, first and foremost, to take the listener to an unseen, but rea romantic space in time. What lovely musicianship! The melody, arrangement take the lead as the rhythm provides the thrust. Take it away, Musique!

[Scruitol]

Still have this on vinyl! :)

[Scruitol]

Still have the transparent yellow vinyl... :)

[discomadness]

nice cut. great production.

[glotzu]

C'est quand même très bon! Dommage que je n'aie pas connu ce temps-là...

[timothysan]

shit! 'lee carbera ft. mim - i watch you' sampled the string riff with the clavi ( the riff totally makes that house track ofc)

brilliant track, so glad i stumbled on it :)

[RobKuyper]

i dont know the song but the mood brings me back to my roots!:)

[FIGHTSEEN]

Wow. Disco was just great music.At least it managed to morph into house & techno-instead of dying off.Still..funk & disco from the 70's was special.Thanx for posting.

[port2344chester]

Uplifting trax.... takes me back like only disco classics can.

[TontonDecibel]

Christine Wiltshire, Denise Edwards, Jocelyn Brown etc ... patrick adams disco band !!!

[joancollins54]

I think we need to open a place to dance...hopefully in NYC where people would come from all around the world to dance to these wonderful songs... I realize it would take millions of dollars.... and then even with that could it happen ? they say history repeats itself...I for one would love to be there every night... my dream place would have only the music from 1977 78 and 79 with perhaps only a few exceptions... personally once we got into the 80s I didn't care for most music...

[heavensound78]

@joancollins54 Iam agree with you, there must be a way to get to this music again.

[Secretaryboy]

@joancollins54 I so agree here in the UK we had all your brilliant Disco tunes back then, Im so jeoulous of the USA, the clubs must been wicked then, We had a good scene too, but not as good as yours, i so wish their was a club playing music of the late 70s, you know it does not exsist here anymore, i also still wear tha clothes of the 70s/80s wide collared satin shirts and flares, I think im the only one in London like that,I don't see anyone dress like me, Does that sound strange to you.

[joancollins54]

@Secretaryboy I sent a TWeet to Nikki Haskell who is by the way having a party tonight and the REAL JOAN Collins will be there! Nikki was at STUDIO 54 a lot but not as much as me! I think its great you like the music and fashion from that era. If I were rich I would get a bunch of people and open a disco. but im an NOT the actress...

[0007soloyo]

lo adoro, tenia este album,lindos recuerdos,.gracias por llevarme al pasado

[MrLARodger]

I was living in New York City in the late 70's, what a great time to be there. Disco was in high gear and everyone was dancing and just having a good time. To me so many disco songs were very romantic. What could be better then dancing with the one you love to a romantic song? Glad I was there to expereince it all. I still miss it and hope that one day, while I can still dance, it all comes back!

[2009Denisem]

@MrLARodger I totally agree! Those were the days.. Awesome music, memories, friends and the best of times! Peace my friend!

[mikevytal]

Satch...I'm with you on the gatsby's and odell's...I used to take the train up from DC just to hit those spots.

[protectorofillinois]

Andreasus4thdj, thank you sooooooooo much for taking me back to the 70s with my favorite dance classic in the world!!! The disco era was the best and you could let yourself loose and have a good time!!! How I miss those days so much. 50 stars all the way & faved :-D

[satchseven]

gatbsy,s and odell,s in baltimore

[BEAUSONS]

Does anybody know who are the vocalist on the track??

[monkeymanrobot]

Jocelyn Brown

Angela Howell

Gina Tharps

Christine Wiltshire

[heavensound78]

Th perfection of all rythms = Summer love-Musique.

[revistaespejonet]

Esta canción la conocí pocos años después que estuvo de moda ya que ese disco me lo regaló mi amigo Gerardo. Muy buena disco music.

[hubiethesaint]

This one is one of the songs that reminds me of Manhattan Beach and Infinities on Bway and Bleeker St. Hustle music.

[OLATUNJI05]

@hubiethesaint reminds me of IPANEMA on 52nd street across from ROseland ballroom.NYC rocks!!!

[leekat01]

thanks. love it !

[MIKE761CPU]

wow....what memories thnx for posting. brings me back to the days of when disco first started, the clubs in Brooklyn...this was mine & my HS Gf's Song...

[lbchampcarfan]

this is a great song! I still have the original album from 1978. I was only 14 at the time so i had to pick and choose what albums to buy because of lack of money. What great times! THANK YOU for posting!

[SooperDooperDave]

I adore this song. I bought the 12" for 80 UK pence in 1978. It's great on vinyl to listen to on the 12" you get so much base and depth as it's a 12" 45rpm and the grooves span all the vinyl. It's a classy song and I play it as much as I can. Patrick Adams is a god. Thanks for this. x

[pianoman74]

great classic!! -- BTW you disco fans out here are my last hope. I thought it's MUSIQUE or a remix, but it's not. The lyrics goes "Summer love - you'll never be forgotten" and another part starts off with "Summer breeze...". Lo' and behold, the tempo is almost the same as this piece's.

[DISCOVEGASGUY]

This is a perfect example of why we still love and miss music from the 1970's. This is absolute perfection. A disc jockey's dream. A dancer's ultimate dance track. You can close your eyes and go on a journey. Its so damn beautiful , full of luxury and depth. Much like Barry White's music was. The instrumental theme is full of joy and memory too. Its a song that you just never can forget it once you hear it. I never get tired of it. Summer Love is # 296 on my Top 3000 Songs Of All Time !

[TheMAYRENE]

best disco dance song to dance to

[hbarber]

This song had a beginning, a middle, and a end. it took you you on a journey. Its brings back GREAT memories of that innocent good felt music of my DJ years in Brooklyn, NY aka FANTASIA: And we had an awesome sound system to boot!

[Psychosoulcial]

I love this song! It is a perfect track vocally and with the accompaniment.

[jie093]

it's wonderfull

[pianoman74]

It starts off so wonderfully. But I got a slight abba flash all of a sudden at 0:50 ff ^^

[PCchongor]

5.37-5.38

[PCchongor]

1.28-1.31 1.32-1.34

[tb35pa]

A great album back in the days when you could actually touch your partner when you danced with them. Google Patrick Adams of see just how influential he has become.

[mrob75]

Wow...PURE DISCO SOUND HERE!!! I feel like wetting my pants upon the opening notes to this one! We LOVED dancing to this!!!! Takes me back to the second floor of The Branding Iron restaurant El Paso Texas!!!

[eurodeluxe]

What a fantastic thing to say!! hahahaha I totally understand as i feel exactly the same way too! You star...keep on jumping, baby! x

[hubiethesaint]

This was my favorite song on that album and that was a good album.

[Chasson0318]

I couldn't understand why people were burning 'disco' records, with great tracks like this? I could only imagine, they were jealous that there were certain people enjoying a beautiful time. I wish it would come back.

[Andreasus4thdj]

Love-U

[Krazy3912]

They were fans of rock music who (wrongly) felt that disco was being rammed down their throats so during a Chicago Cubs game all the fanatics went to the field with their disco albums, 8 tracks and so on and set it on fire.

Other than the drugs getting out of control in some clubs plus the campiness....I saw no problem with the disco music and wished it had greater longevity.

[billici]

no they were racist and homphobes who thought that this threathened there way of life. If you saw the tape you know who was at that bonfire

[Krazy3912]

With that said....it was dumb that disco had to die in that fashion. If folks didn't like it....tune into a different radio station.

The late 1970s were fun times for me as a preteen because of the disco sound.

[billici]

racisim and homophobia

[Monstermack40]

@Chasson0318 Those were hard rock rednecks burning he disco records.

[Boopey61]

@Chasson0318 Sure you right. Just check the cover.

[r0natello]

@Chasson0318: Amen! There is bad disco and there is good disco like this track. The bad thing is, most of the "bad" disco got played on the airwaves while the good disco didn't get as much airplay, but that's my theory anyways!

[OLATUNJI05]

@Chasson0318 I agree<<this was a great cut and musique could do no wrong!!!

[ateball1]

@Chasson0318 I agree. I'm 29 and LOVE disco music........

[alkh3myst]

I heard the first notes, and literally burst into tears. I was 19, and knew my life would only get better and better(so wrong). I ran every club in New York, sometimes five, six days a week. The last time I heard Summer Love, ABC Sports used the instrumental to bridge into a commercial break during a golf tournament, also in '78. Oh my God. Thank you.

BTW, why does everybody feel empowered to use our logo(member '81-'87)?

[nvoba]

Thank You.

Patrick Adams

[fiskehora]

From 5:25 to the end: The best disco ever recorded. I wish the song never stopped.

[billici]

Patrick adams is the god behind all this music. Find Venus dodson

[billici]

you should listen to the all instrumental version..pure genius

[shiroibasketshoes]

Absolutely; the instrumental version Summer Love Theme was what I had i mind when I did this search; the vocal version is great too of course.

[sicilianotoronto]

they look and sound hot as ever! Boogie on down girls!

[roscoegino]

my favorite song from them.

[ILOVEFEBREZE]

Picking myself off the floor!!Wow can't get no more better than this. LONG LIVE DISCO!!

[cococarmel3]

hey thanx for postin this video took my mom back a few being that she used to sing with Musique lol made her laugh. Shes Gina Tharps now known as Gina Taylor-Pickens lol i tell her disco is wackness but shit it paid the bills at one point

[jaegermexman]

Did your mom really sing in this song? Tell her that this was one of my all-time disco era songs. i thought it was ultra-sexy and I used to dance like a madman back then. i was in the 11th grade at the time. The voices were so amazing! Wish they would have done more LP's after Musique II. Peace out!

[nvoba]

Dear Jaegermexman,  Coco's mom really did sing on the song.

Patrick Adams

[nvoba]

Coco Tell your mom I said Hello, and Thank You

Patrick Adams

[desertdetroiter]

Well you're wrong! This music that your mom help make with Patrick Adams gave us a LOT of joy. People tore the clubs up. When this album came out, i was a 13 yr old kid with a 20 dollar a week allowance...and i spent every damn dime of it on disco records, much to my dads chagrin. LOL...i thought Gina, Christine, Angie and Jocelyn were Godesses. I still play this album all the time. My son however, thinks that it's corny! Long live your mom and tell her thanks for the memories.

[NYOLSKOOL]

@cococarmel3 ask ur mom if she is in contact w angela howells sons, reggie and winfred. ive been posting alot tryn to get at them. ang was mad cool. she passed away about 15 years ago.

[fluet70]

Yessssss... one of those classic song you will never get tired of listening over & over again.

The whole ep is just amazing. Too bad the second album really sucked. What happened ?

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

There were 2 things that I really loved about the 70s........one was Silver Convention and the other was MUSIQUE!!!! I was crazy about this song when I was a small kid. It came on the radio and I had no clue who sang it nor did I ever heard it again after that one time but who would imagine that now I would get the chance to hear this track again after all those years..........thank you much!

[nvoba]

Thank Ypu

Patrick Adams

[CaptainSolarAngel]

Gtreat album track , way ahead of their time...Musique,

Though was Bush bush in da bush dat got me hooked on the girls way back in 78...or was it 79....

Your in Tune with a Radio Mixolydian..test transmission....live from Hour Glass City...Mars.....testing testing....1....2....3....4

[fabulustbone]

OMG, I luv you Andreasus4thdj!!! just like blottobee 78 I have been searching for the vocal version, thank you sooo much for posting for us.

[dmanLVN]

This is a pretty flawless song.... I have it on vinyl as well. It really sets a mood... takes me back. Nice. Thanks for posting....

[blottobee78]

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks... I have been searching for the vocal version for quite awhile and all I could find is the instrumental!!!! The words and music are just fabulous and awesome... Musique are one of the best and this just brings back so many memories...

[heavensound78]

Una de las mejores canciones de Disco Music jamàs hecha. Para oir, compartir con amigos, con tu pareja, para bailar. Romantiquisima letra. De Valencia-Venezuela cuna del disco music en Sur America. Sonido, voces, coros y mùsica increibles. Que viva la musica disco por siempre. Musica de gente buena y feliz.

[heavensound78]

The best disco song. The best loud ever made.Incredible voices, chorus. Patrick Adams created this masterpiece in 1978.Incredible. The music was better than now New musicians must imitate this sounds.
