Episode 133 - Giorgio Moroder

Giorgio Moroder is the most influential musician you have probably never heard of. He was an early techno musician and producer before there was anything even called, “techno.” (In other words, without Giorgio Moroder, no Daft Punk.) He has written songs for David Bowie, Blondie, Janet Jackson, and a bunch more than I can put down here. He produced all of the best singles Donna Summer ever recorded, before becoming the most sought after soundtrack composer in the 70s and 80s.If you’re a fan of the films Scarface, or Top Gun, or American Gigolo, or The Neverending Story, you know what he adds to a movie is outer-worldly. So this week, we are celebrating the unmitigated genius of one of our favorite musicians, Giorgio Moroder.
