Once Upon a Time (Donna Summer album)
''Once Upon a Time'' is the sixth studio album by American singer Donna Summer. It was released on October 25, 1977, and peaked at No. 26 on the US ''Billboard'' 200, number thirteen on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart〔 and No. 24 on the UK Albums Chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UK Charts > Donna Summer )〕 The entire album charted as one entry at No. 1 on the Hot Dance/Disco chart. ''Once Upon a Time'' includes the singles "I Love You", "Fairy Tale High", "Once Upon a Time" and "Rumour Has It". The album was not as successful as Summer's previous album ''I Remember Yesterday''; it did not spawn a hit single as popular as "I Feel Love".
The concept album was Summer's first double album, telling a modern-day Cinderella-themed story through means of disco music. The album's story concept was conceived by Joyce Bogart, Susan Munao and Donna Summer based on an idea by Al Bogatz. The songs were written in collaboration between Summer, Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. The album was recorded at Musicland Studios, Munich. Arrangements were handled by Bob Esty while electronic arrangements were the work of Moroder. The artwork was designed by Stephen Lumel and Gribbitt! with photography by Francesco Scavullo.
==Concept and image==
Summer's previous two records were musical concept albums: 1976's ''Four Seasons of Love'' told the story of a love affair by relating it to the four seasons, while 1977's ''I Remember Yesterday'' presented a musical catalogue of musical styles and lyrical themes from the past, present and an imagined future. ''Once Upon A Time'' is another concept album—the first "disco opera" per Robert Christgau〔—developed by Joyce Bogart, Susan Munao and Donna Summer as a modern-day Cinderella narrative.
Throughout the album and as described in the liner notes storyline,〔 the songs tell the story of a young woman who lives in a fantasy world of make-believe in which she is seemingly trapped, but thanks to her belief in her dreams she embarks on an adventure that ends with the man she loves entering her life. The "rags to riches" story is brought into the modern day via the use of the electronic disco sound.
