Italian singer, songwriter and DJ Giovanni Giorgio Moroder was a pioneering force in the nascent genre of European electronic dance music (EDM) throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's.
"I Feel Love" was cowritten by Moroder, Pete Bellotte, and Donna Summer and was released in Summer 1977:
"Chase" was from the soundtrack to the movie Midnight Express and was the first of several songs from movie soundtracks that Moroder became quite well known for. It is also familiar to fans of the radio show Coast to Coast AM as that show's longtime theme bumper.
Moroder's work throughout the first half of the 80's did tend somewhat more towards more mainstream and commercial work, including the song Call Me from the American Gigolo soundtrack, cowritten by Moroder and Blondie's lead vocalist Debbie Harry.
