Its definitive production style from the celebrated Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte , vision of a truly global pop music, and expression of a woman's outspoken, emotional and observant sides the busiest co-writer is Summer, who wrote three songs solo and co-wrote five others signaled a new era in music.

Though disco's days would end, the inevitable and eventual resurgence of dance music as a cornerstone of global pop would return Summer to dance floor triumphs over and over. It is fitting then that the diva's epic set, primarily produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, receives Universal's Deluxe Edition treatment. The two-CD reissue includes the remastered double-album on disc one, with the second CD housing extended inch mixes.

In contrast to the seismic dance smashes exemplified by the rock-tinged Hot Stuff and the perky title track , Summer stretches out impressively on luxurious ballads like There Will Always Be A You. Another highlight is the propulsive electro-groove, Sunset People , which closes the album and perfectly encapsulates the glamour and hedonism of the disco epoch.
