Source-derived summary

"Love Is the Healer" is a song recorded by American singer Donna Summer in 1999 for her album Live & More Encore, the track being one of two new studio recordings included on the live album.

The song was written by Summer herself and producer Nathan DiGesare and co-produced by remix team Thunderpuss (Barry Harris and Chris Cox). Following the success of "I Will Go with You (Con te partirò)", it became Summer's second single in 1999 to top the US Club Play chart at number one.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
