Donna Summer - Last Dance (1978) From the film Thank God It's Friday. Love the DJ console in a hand held bowel. Taken from CED video disc. Filmed at the Zoo night club. Also performing live in the film are The Commodores. It was a sort of black version of Saturday Night Fever. This clip doesn't get many clicks, but is one of my favorites! Oh well what do I know.
The triple album was, unlike the movie, a commercial success. It contained contributions from some of the biggest names in disco at the time, including Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Thelma Houston, The Commodores, and many others.Besides Love & Kisses' title track, the biggest hit single on the album was Donna Summer's "Last Dance", which won an Academy Award as well as a Golden Globe for Best Original Song and also made it to #3 on the US singles chart. The song was written by Paul Jabara, who the following year would go on to compose Summer's duet with Barbra Streisand, "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)". Jabara himself performed two of the songs on the Thank God It's Friday soundtrack.
