On her 1980 TV special, Donna Summer performed a jazz medley. One of the songs she performed was titled The Man I Love. Music by George Gershwin and lyrics by Ira Gershwin
The Man I Love Comes from Donna's 1978 album Lve and More. Together “With I got It Bad” and “That Ain't Good”. Live and More is the first live album recorded by Donna Summer. The Man I Love is on side two, and it's the number 10 song on the album with I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good/Some of These Days (My Man Medley).
Donna performed The Man I Love so well on her 1980 TV special with a red hat and long red dress with a feathered look. It was singers like Donna Summer that made me sort of listen to jazz because I didn't like jazz. I would see it on old black and white films like in the 1940s with all the piano playing and horn playing. But to see someone from my time that I loved like Donna Summer made me hear jazz. She helped me to listen and understand through her singing. Donna Summer was a sound of a different drummer with her voice to my ears introducing jazz.
