Love to Love You Baby is the second studio album by American singer Donna Summer, released on August 27, 1975, and her first to be released internationally and in the United States. Her previous album Lady of the Night (1974) was released only in the Netherlands. The album was commercially successful, mainly because of the success of its title track, which reached number 2 on the US Pop charts despite some radio stations choosing not to play the song due to its sexually explicit nature.
On the US Billboard Pop Albums chart, the album peaked at number 11 and became her first top 20 studio album but also was her last until the release of I Remember Yesterday (1977). To date, it remains one of Summer's most successful records.
