You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)

Momentum

This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.

Why it's here

The song was originally recorded as a mid-tempo piano-driven gospel song before producer Patrick Cowley remixed it into one of the pioneering disco records to use electronic instrumentation, following closely behind Donna Summer's "I Feel Love". [1] In 2019 the song was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". [2] The song held the top spot on the Billboard Dance/Disco chart for six weeks in August and September 1978, helping establish Sylvester's career as a noted disco and dance music performer. [3]

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
