Track Listing, (Grrrr!! Come on people!):.......2006-11-19

Come on people, Amazon and sellers who create these lousy pages with no pictures or information, you are giving online selling a bad rap!

TRACK LISTING:
1. Jonathan Peters' Club Mix 8:18
2. Tommy Musto Vocal Mix 9:16
3. Jonathan Peters' Sound Factory Club Mix 10:21
4. Tommy Musto Gel Dub 7:29

A sweet pop ballad by Disco/Dance diva Donna Summer gets the dance remix treatment, putting Mrs. Summer back into the dance groove were she has really made a name for herself therefore she is really at home with these remixes which could have easily been the original version.

My favorite is the Tommy Musto Vocal which sports a more soulful and bouncy feel opposed to the techno-infused JP versions.

Unbelievably catchy.......2001-07-31

This was the last CD Single of Donna that I wanted to buy to complete my collection. I cannot stomach the Pokýmon craze, and I thought that she may have taken a dive doing this song; but, upon hearing it, I was floored with its rhythmic grooves and, of course, that voice that can carry any tune. The Tommy Musto Vocal Mix is indeed the best remix here. I still haven't heard the ballad version, but I can imagine it well. If you like Donna Summer, you must have this. You'll be as surprised as I am, and enjoy this single immensely. The lyric might well be shallow, but it does have its moments of power.

Donna Summer - The Power of One (Extended).......2001-06-02

This CD Maxi Single includes four mixes of Donna Summer's song, 'The Power of One'. Jonathon Peters' Club Mix is a bit techno, a bit trance, and a bit disco. A heavy club mix of a song from a movie that was for five- to ten-year-olds? Bizarre! This incongruity, the quite contrived melodic phrases in the background and the kitsch lyrics of the song prevent this mix from making it as a serious dance track. The Tommy Musto Vocal Mix is great - The fantastic saxophone sound, wonderful snatches of keyboard trickling in and out of the mix, bouncing bass and the wa-wa guitar sound are reminiscent of some of Donna's early, more breezy recordings, such as 'Spring Affair' and 'Summer Fever'. Unfortunately, Donna's vocals, re-recorded to match the uptempo arrangement of this mix, aren't her best on this track. The other two mixes have a heavy club flavour. There is no doubt that the guys who mixed the tracks have made some interesting sounds, but perhaps the song itself did not lend itself to their style. Although not the greatest CD around, any Donna Summer fan will enjoy having this in their collection.

Excellent Arrangement & Magnificent Metaphysical Love Song.......2001-03-05

Geez... Did the rest of the reviewers listen to the same tracks as the ones I did on the CD? This is a beautiful song, and it works as a power ballad and as a dance/club mix. The artists worked very hard on this recording and it's wonderful. Mark Chait is a talented musician and composer, and I hope this will lead to bigger and better things for everyone involved. The record label hasn't been marketing this ballad in America in the right way... Why? Who knows... It should have been nominated for several music awards, because it would have stuck in the minds of the voting members, regardless of where the song originated from.

As far as the other reviewer is concerned, these lyrics say a lot about the human soul, and the way we can change "poison into medicine". In other words, they're i-n-s-p-i-r-a-t-i-o-n-a-l, with some positive Buddhist overtones. Something that this world needs more of!

The tracks are well crafted and could get a lot of additional mileage with additional recording artists covers (Hello Celine Dion, Linda Eder, Sandi Patti, Barbra Streisand... take a listen to this song!).

The ballad version is much better.......2000-11-30

I was so excited when I bought this CD, but soon delusion has grown bigger then excitement.The Power of one is a beautiful song and in the CD single (ballad version) Donna delivers it with a wonderful voice. These remixes cover her voice with noises and bumping (especially the two of John Peters)producing a not so good dance song. I like the Tommy Musto vocal version in wich Donna has rerecorded the voice and the sound is more jazz and funky. Very nice dance song. However if you like Donna's voice buy the CD single. Only for Diehard Fans. As I am.
