 A smiling adult African American male (Michael Jackson) with a black afro, wearing a black tuxedo, white shirt, and a black bow tie. Both of his thumbs are hooked into his pants pockets with his palms and fingers facing forward and splayed out. The sides of his jacket are tucked behind his hands as he leans back slightly, giving a playful, casual touch to his formal look. Behind him there is a brown brick wall and to the side of his head are "MICHAEL JACKSON" in yellow chalk writing and "OFF THE WALL" in white chalk writing. "JACKSON" and "WALL" are separately underlined.

I FEEL LOVE
Donna Summer
"I Feel Love" was an imagining of how music would sound in the future. Donna Summer's 1977 'I Remember Yesterday' LP looked back on the past and present. "I Feel Love" previewed the future. Producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte took a song they had co-written with Summer and unleashed electronica. The result was a futuristic aural delight that sounded like no song ever had. Until then, disco had featured orchestras. On this innovative disc, the synthesizer provided the sonic brilliance. Summer's sensual vocal blended with the relentless pulsating bass and sequencer. This was not just a revolutionary disco classic, it has influenced almost every dance trend that has followed in its wake.
