Seventiesghost WRITES:
Giorgio (Hansjoerg) Moroder (on record sleeves often only Giorgio) (born on April 26, 1940 in Urtijëi (Ortisei), Italy) is a three-time Oscar winning Italian record producer, songwriter and performer. His work with synthesizers during the 1970s and 1980s had a significant influence on new wave, house, techno and electronic music in general. Particularly well known for his work with Donna Summer during the era of disco (including "I Feel Love" and Love to Love You Baby), Moroder is the founder of the former Musicland Studios in Munich, which was used as a recording studio for artists including Electric Light Orchestra, Led Zeppelin, Queen and Elton John. He also founded his own record label the Oasis Records which later became a subdivision of Casablanca Records.
In addition to his work with Donna Summer, Moroder also produced a number of electronic disco hits for The Three Degrees, two albums for Sparks, and a score of songs for a variety of others including Irene Cara, Madleen Kane, Melissa Manchester, Blondie, Japan, and France Joli. Also he composed the songs and/or music to many (famous) movies.

An Italian of native German mothertongue (from the South Tyrol ethnicity at the border between Italy and Austria), Moroder made his first steps in music bypassing his native country altogether, and making a name for himself in studios around Germany in the early 1970s, although he released amall-batch singles simply as "Giorgio" as early as 1966, singing in English, German, and Italian. Often collaborating with lyricist Bellotte, Moroder had a number of hits in his own name including " Lonely Lovers Symphony " 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.. All were hits in the UK, in the U.S. and across Europe, and everywhere the disco-mania was spreading. The full movie score for Midnight Express won him his first Academy Award for best film score in 1978. In 1979 Moroder released his album E=MC². Text on the album's cover stated that it was the "first electronic live-to-digital album." He also released three albums between 1977-1979 under the name Munich Machine.
