 The four members of the band sit together in front of a sandy-coloured background wearing predominantly black clothing. Freddie Mercury appears to be the dominant figure, sat in front of the other three members. From left to right, John Deacon, Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor. All four individuals are looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression on their face. Above the band is some black text, printed in an elegant, italic font face. The word "Queen" followed by "Bohemian Rhapsody", the latter of which is positioned under the band name in the same format yet smaller font.

I FEEL LOVE

Donna Summer [1977]

Ears pricked up the world over when Donna Summer dropped her revolutionary dance track "I Feel Love". The song was a radical new direction for dance music. Producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte injected electronica into disco in a unique way. Since its release, the song has influenced several dance sub-genres, especially techno. The song was decades ahead of its time.
A new countdown will commence tomorrow.
