CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1500 CHOICE TRACKS


#211 LOVE IS THE HEALER Donna Summer
"Love is the Healer" was an exciting new song included as a bonus studio track on Donna Summer's VH-1 album 'Live & More Encore!'. This was a sequel of sorts to her successful double album 'Live and More' from 1978. The release featured Summer singing songs live as well as a studio side which consisted of her "Macarthur Park Suite". The 'Encore!' album in 1999 featured Summer singing various hits in concert as well as 2 new studio dance songs.
Summer co-wrote "Love is the Healer" with Nathan DiGesare. He co-produced the track with Thunderpuss 2000, consisting of Barry Harris and Chris Cox. The song begins with Gregorian chants before the dance beat begins to build. Summer delivers a mighty vocal in a genre she has dominated for decades. Issued as a single, the track reached #1 on the US Dance chart.
 
This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
A new song is added each day.
