Live & More
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Live & More by Donna Summer is her 5th album produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. The album was recorded in the Universal Ampitheater, in Los Angeles, CA in 1978. The album borrows heavily from her last recent album, "Once Upon A Time" (1977). There are 3 songs on there that you can not find on any other Donna Summer album. Those tracks are: My Man Medley, Mimi's Song, and The Way We Were. Mimi's Song is the song that Donna wrote for her then 3 year old daughter, Mimi. She wrote it the night before she performed live.
Track listings are as follows:
- Once Upon A Time
- Fairy Tale High
- Faster And Faster To Nowhere
- Spring Affair
- Rumour Has It

All tracks (except for Tracks 10 and 18) are produced and written by Giorgio Moroder, Pete Bellotte, and Donna Summer.
On the CD release of Live And More, Polygram Records deleted the 18 minute MacArthur's Park Suite. What takes it's place is the Theme from the Deep.
Last Dance won a Oscar for Best Original Song. The album went gold with 500,000 copies sold. This is one of Donna's first double albums to go either gold or platinum.
