Spooky Season Spin
“Supernatural Love” is the second single from Donna Summer’s 1984 Cats Without Claws album. The song released on October 23, 1984 by Geffen Records (US) and Warner Bros. Records (UK). It was written by Summer, Michael Omartian and Bruce Sudano, and produced by Omartian. The typically 1980s synthesized song was remixed for its release as a single and became a minor hit in the US. It was accompanied by a very colourful video again featuring Donna and husband Bruce Sudano as a star-crossed couple chasing each other through time when he is abducted by an evil enchantress—from the stone age into current 1980s New Wave, where Donna pursues the enchantress in order to save him.
While the single only peaked at #75 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, it fared better on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart at #39.

The B-side is SO MUCH better than A-side! Thanks for yet another impeccable transfer. It sounds much better than official re-release.
Isn´t that one just one of those songs that put you in a good mood, makes you wanna dance and sing along? Works for me. 🙂
Have a great weekend, Paul and Jeff and everyone else around.
Anyone else getting an “unable to extract” message on the 24-bit DL?
Never mind, I just kept clicking “continue” and five clicks later it opened. 😀
And… it opened with files of 0 bytes. :/ Not sure what’s going on – it’s an unpacker thing.
Got it to work finally – just ignore all this – I can’t figure out how to delete my comments.
Love this song! From her underrated Cats Without Claws album. Tough to follow up a mega success like She Works Hard For The Money. I have your original transfer and looking forward to this new one! Great single that includes one of her rare non album b-sides. Thanks Paul and have a great weekend, you too Jeff and all the other kindred spirits here!
I really hope you like the new transfer Retro Hound. Have a great weekend 🙂
Thank you, Paul, for a new transfer of this song!! I myself can’t get enough of Ms. Summer. My Mom was particularly fond of her music too. So sad she is no longer with us.
Have a supernatural weekend, Paul, Song And Dance, Retro Hound, Martika, ING, Daniel and everyone else!!!
Jeff
Have a great weekend, Jeff 🙂
Summer comma Donna.
The video sounds like a riot! I’m going to have to look it up!
Thanks!
You’re welcome, ING 🙂
