It became one of the first disco hits to be released in an extended grade.

The Stone and Roll Hall of Fame named it one of the 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll, Summer's only pick on this listing.^[4]

Background [edit]

By 1975, Summer had been living in Germany for eight years and had participated in several musical theatre shows. She had also released an album in The Netherlands entitled Lady of the Night (1974), written by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte and produced by Bellotte, which had given her a couple of striking singles. She was however a complete unknown in her home country when she suggested the lyric "Love to Beloved You Babe" to Moroder in 1975. He turned the lyric into a full disco song and asked Summer to tape information technology. The full lyrics were somewhat explicit, and at first, Summertime said she would just tape it every bit a demo to give to someone else. However, Summer'due south erotic moans and groans impressed Moroder so much that he persuaded her to release it as her own song, and "Honey to Honey Yous" became a moderate hit in holland.

In an interview in 1976, Summertime responded to a number of questions that she claimed she'd been asked nigh the process of recording the vocal: "Everyone'due south request, 'Were you alone in the studio?' Aye, I was alone in the studio. 'Did you lot touch yourself?' Yes, well, actually I had my hand on my knee. 'Did yous fantasize on anything?' Yeah, on my handsome boyfriend Peter."^[5]

International release and reception [edit]

A tape of the song was sent to Casablanca Records president Neil Bogart in the U.S., and he played it at a political party at his dwelling house. Impressed with the track, Bogart continued to play it over and over all night. He later contacted Moroder and suggested that he brand the track longer - possibly as long every bit twenty minutes. Nevertheless, Summertime once more had reservations; she was non sure of all of the lyrics. All the same, she imagined herself as an actress (namely Marilyn Monroe)^{[half dozen]} playing the part of someone in sexual ecstasy. The studio lights were dimmed then that Summer was more or less in complete darkness as she lay on the floor.

The terminal recording lasted over 16 minutes, and according to the BBC, contained 23 "orgasms".^[6] By that indicate, the song was renamed "Love to Love Y'all Babe". It took up the entire outset side of the album of the same proper name, and edited versions were also found on vii" vinyl.

Originally released in November 1975, the song became an international disco nail. In the U.S., it became Summer's first US Acme twoscore hit, spending ii weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February seven and 14, 1976,^[7] beingness held off the number one spot by Paul Simon's "50 Means to Leave Your Lover" and logged four weeks atop the Billboard Trip the light fantastic Club Songs chart,^[eight] likewise number three on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.^[9]

In the Great britain, upon release in Jan 1976, the song reached #iv^[ten] on the UK Singles Nautical chart in spite of the BBC's initial refusal to promote it. They also refused to play it.^{[ citation needed ]} As a result of the success of the song, Summertime would be named "the first lady of love," which labeled her with a sexually oriented, fantasy prototype from which she would struggle to free herself.^{[ commendation needed ]}

According to Peter Shapiro, a freelance British music announcer, the song was marked by "little more than Donna Summer simulating an orgasm over a background of blaxploitation cymbals, wah-wah guitars, a funky-butt clarinet riff, and some synth chimes." He continued, "Love to Dearest You Baby" [...] was extended into a seventeen-minute minisymphony at the behest of Casablanca Records chief Neil Bogart, who wanted a soundtrack for his sexual exploits. The song reached number two in the American charts and was largely responsible for the evolution of the twelve inch single."^[xiii]

Donna Summertime was forced to stop performing "Love to Dearest You" live when, "Riots broke out [...] [She] was in a tent in Italy, 5,000 men, nearly no women, and was doing 'Honey to Love You, Baby,' fairly scantily clad, and the guys got and so wrapped up that they began to push the stage back. And [she] had to run off the phase, to [her] trailer out the back. And they came to the trailer and started to rock it. [She] just thought, 'I'm going to die today, I'k not going to get out of here.' It's not the kind of vocal you just desire to throw out there."^[14]
