" Her work with Moroder on the song " I Feel Love " has also been described as " really the start of electronic dance " music, by Moroder himself.

In addition to producing several hits with Donna Summer, Moroder also produced a number of electronic disco hits for The Three Degrees, two albums for Sparks, a handful of songs on Bonnie Tyler's album Bitterblue as well as her 1985 single " Here She Comes " and a score of songs for performers including David Bowie, Irene Cara, Madleen Kane, Melissa Manchester, Blondie, Japan, and France Joli.

Moroder also won two of his three Grammy Awards for " Flashdance ": Best Album Of Original Score Written For A Motion Picture Or A Television Special and Best Instrumental Composition, for the track " Love Theme from Flashdance ".

The follow-up, " 21st Century Boy " reached number 20 in the UK and, despite largely negative reviews, the album that followed, Flaunt It, again with Moroder at the controls, went top ten in the UK, and also reached number 96 in the US.

Levay also worked with Giorgio Moroder, and Kunze began work with Jim Steinman.

Sparks have been highly influential on the development of popular music, in particular on the late 1970s scene, when in collaboration with Giorgio Moroder ( and Telex subsequently ), they reinvented themselves as an electronic pop duo, and abandoned the traditional rock band line up.

" Hung Up " was inspired by the 1970s disco era, notably ABBA, Giorgio Moroder and the film Saturday Night Fever ( 1977 ).

In the late 1980s, Moroder collaborated with Claudio Zampolli to create the Cizeta supercar.

Cizeta Automobili srl of Modena, Italy is a car manufacturer set up in the late 1980s by Claudio Zampolli ( an Italian Ferrari dealer ) and the record producer Giorgio Moroder.

They have heavily influenced techno, rock, and pop musicians including Pet Shop Boys, The Killers and Moby, and were themselves influenced by the likes of David Bowie, Neu !, Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire and Giorgio Moroder.

Often collaborating with lyricist Pete Bellotte, Moroder had a number of hits in his own name including " Son of My Father " in 1972 before releasing the synthesizer-driven From Here to Eternity, a notable chartbuster in 1977, and in the following year releasing " Chase ", the theme from the film Midnight Express.

Moroder has won three Academy Awards: Best Original Score for Midnight Express ( 1978 ); Best Song for " Flashdance ... What a Feeling ", from the film Flashdance ( 1983 ); and Best Song for " Take My Breath Away ", from Top Gun ( 1986 ).

* Giorgio Moroder used the 6 notes corresponding to " Now you say you love me " to create part of the soundtrack of Midnight Express in 1978.

Following the track's success, within months Summer and Moroder produced the 11-minute " Now I Need You "/" Working the Midnight Shift " sequence on Summer's 1977 double album Once Upon a Time, which successfully builds on " I Feel Love "' s pioneering ethereal vocals, mechanised beats, sequenced arpeggios and ostinato basslines.

" In an interview published in the February 4, 1978 edition of New Musical Express, Debbie Harry expressed her affinity for the Eurodisco music of Giorgio Moroder, stating that " It's commercial, but its good, it says something ... that's the kind of stuff that I want to do.
