Sunshine ~ Take It To The Zoo 1978 Disco Purrfection Version

Back in early 1977, Neil Bogart got the idea to a disco movie that would feature Donna Summer along with the latest music from Casablanca Records. Neil approached Columbia Pictures with Peter Guber and got the green light from the studio pending script approval. Bogart hired his two publicists Ellen Wolf and Walter Wanger to put together a script and kept a tight rein on its storyline. Columbia had just promised that Motown could do a disco movie, but it was finally agreed that the movie would be a Casablanca/Motown co-production. Next, the location decided on was an LA club called "Osko's" which had recently undergone extensive renovations and upgrades for an exotically themed disco experience. Unlike the "Saturday Night Fever" LP which had established disco hits from the preceding two years put down on vinyl, "TGIF" was a collection of new songs from both labels, as well as some remixed versions. The vocal group Sunshine was introduced to the record buying public on the live closing track of Side 3, "I Feel Love" where Donna was naming off her tour support, and her four sisters Linda Gaines, Mary Ellen Bernard, Dara Bernard and Jenette Yancy responded "Hello everybody". Their #1 disco hit "Take Me To The Zoo" was written by Donna Summer with Bruce Sudano and Joe Esposito both members of vocal group Brooklyn Dreams. For this song, Arthur G Wright was chosen to produce and did a really great job. This song along with Pattie Brooks "After Dark", Love & Kisses "Thank God It's Friday" and Donna's "Last Dance" hit the #1 position disco and stayed there for six weeks. Neil wanted the soundtrack to replace "Saturday Night Fever" at the top spot on the album chart, but the popularity of Yvonne Elliman's "If I Can't Have You" extended the soundtracks stamina at #1 for another week, thwarting Casablanca's wish to be the album that knocked it out of #1. That particular distinction went to Gerry Rafferty's "City To City" that contained his breakout hit "Baker Street".
