July 24, 1977 –
Donna Summer’s (with producer Giorgio Moroder,) single I Feel Love reached No. #1 on the Billboard Charts on this date.
The song was inspired by the jazzy little tune performed by four fish-headed aliens in the Star Wars Cantina scene. When Giorgio Moroder saw the movie, he was taken by how un-futuristic the Cantina band sounded. That served as the initial spark for I Feel Love. He said: “I didn’t think it sounded like the music of the future – it looked like it, but didn’t sound like it. So I thought the only way to do it is to do it with computers – only computers.“
