You work all your life for that moment in time In the real time world no one sees her at allĪnd she's dancing like she's never danced before This 2LP format also includes two radio edits and three extended mixes.Just a steeltown girl on a Saturday night The lead single, 'I Believe (In You) ', is released 25th June and it starts the four-month pre-release campaign, up until the album's release. The album now has a thread running through it, with a sequence that sees the album open with the beautiful title track and builds throughout the album through soul and dance, ending with the high-octane 'girl power' statement track, 'Leave Me Alone '. Junior Vasquez, Le Flex, Figo Sound, Jean Tonique, Ladies On Mars and Oliver Nelson - who has just signed to Atlantic Records - have all added their touch. 'I'M A RAINBOW - RECOVERED & RECOLOURED' has been slimmed-down to a compact 10-track album and completely re-imagined by a host of international producers, from North AND South America, Europe and Scandinavia. Fast-forward 40 years and 'I'M A RAINBOW' receives a fresh coat of paint, giving credence to the songs' great lyrics and compositions that they richly deserved at the time. "Flashdance" also included the ballad 'Lady, Lady, Lady' which was performed by original Brooklyn Dreams singer Joe "Bean" Esposito, who appears on the duet 'I Believe (In You)'. A few tracks were familiar to Donna and non-Donna fans, as they had been released in the early 1980s 'Highway Runner' ("Fast Times At Ridgemont High" OST) and 'Romeo' ("Flashdance" OST). 'I'M A RAINBOW' was eventually issued in 1996, as an 18-track CD, without the usual fanfare that heralded a 'new' Donna Summer album. David Geffen then brought-in Quincy Jones to produce the next new album 1982's 'Donna Summer'. A decision was taken by the label to withdraw 'I'M A RAINBOW' just prior to its release. The songs and their lyrical content were very strong and Donna's voice had never sounded better, which was always a tough comparison against previous albums. Geffen also wanted a more R&B-influenced album, despite the album having a more R&B feel than 'The Wanderer' had done. At the time that the album was being recorded, the musical landscape had changed and production techniques were developing further.
It's September 1981 and it's matter of weeks away from the release of 'I'M A RAINBOW', the second album Donna Summer had recorded for Geffen Records, which had also been produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte.
