  • "Last Dance" is a song written by the late Paul Jabara. It was sung by Donna Summer for the Thank God It's Friday soundtrack in 1978. She also had a mini role in the same film, singing the song. "Last Dance" was mixed by the Grammy Award winning record producer Stephen Short, whose back-up vocals are featured in the song. "Last Dance" won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song the same year. It is one of Summer's favorite songs and remains one of her most popular hits in the United States, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song has sold over 5 million copies in the U.S. alone. "Last Dance" was one of the first disco songs to also feature slow tempo parts. It starts off slow and the full-length version found on the film soundtrack also has a slow part in the middle. This part was edited out for the 12" format, and yet more of the song was edited for the 7". The versions found on most greatest hits packages is either the original 7" edit or the slightly longer and remixed version from the 1979 compilation On The Radio: Greatest Hits Volumes 1 & 2 . "Last Dance" started a trend for Summer as many of her disco hits following this also had a slow tempo intro/vocal beginning. Her other hits of this tempo format include "On the Radio", "No More Tears (Enough is Enough)", a duet with Barbra Streisand, "Dim All the Lights", and another song written by and duetted with Paul Jabara, "Foggy Day/Never Lose Your Sense Of Humor" from his album, "The Third Album".
