The story behind
"Take Me" appears on I Remember Yesterday, the fifth album of Donna Summer. It was a hit: gold from RIAA and BPI, and her third consecutive #1 in Italy, very strong in Europe. The album plays with time. Its first half takes you through disco sounds inspired by the 40s ("I Remember Yesterday"), the 50s ("Love's Unkind") and the 60s ("Back in Love Again"). In the second half, where "Take Me" is, the music becomes more disco/pop, along with "Black Lady". There is also a ballad, "Can't We Just Sit Down (And Talk It Over)". The closing track is "I Feel Love", an electronic music piece that looked to the future and marked a before-and-after in the genre. Thus, "Take Me" is part of an album that connects past and future. ↓ Skip to chordsVerse 1
