US#1(2) from 29 May 1976. Our artist initially resented this new musical movement but eventually agreed to record the song. Davis instructed the song's engineer Russ Terrana to install a strobe light so that the singer could be in the "disco" mindset, and shared a glass of wine with her prior to the recording. As the song changed from ballad to uptempo, she became more comfortable with the material; she hummed, sang bit parts, laughed, danced around and even imitated Billie Holiday. The carefree and sensual nature of her vocals and the music's direction helped to sell the song.
A philosophical song written by Murray Wizell and Irving Melsher in 1957 became the 18th million-seller for this artist but, didn't make the US Top 100! - UK#15, 8 weeks in Top 30 from 30 May 1958 Monster Hit in N.Z.
