7:12  Donna Summer -Dim All The Lights (Casablanca Records 1979)

歌詞、最初から"Dim All the Lights" is a song by Donna Summer released as a single in the latter half of 1979. Taken from her Bad Girls album and produced by longtime collaborator Giorgio Moroder with Pete Bellotte, the track combines Summer's trademark disco beats with a more soulful/R&B-esque sound. This was the third top two single from the album and her sixth consecutive top five single in a row."Dim All the Lights" was Summer's only hit single that she wrote alone, with no co-writers. She originally intended to give the song to Rod Stewart, but changed her mind at the last minute. This song also contains the longest sustained note sung by a female artist in a top 40 song in both the US and the UK, at about sixteen seconds. Played at 45 rpm, the recording starts at a nearly perfect 60 beats per second, then shifts to a nearly perfect 120 beats per second after the doubling in tempo at about 38 seconds (short intro version) or 46 seconds (long intro version).
