To Turn the Stone

"To Turn the Stone" is a song written by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, first recorded by American singer Donna Summer for her 1981 album I'm a Rainbow.

The song was then recorded in 1982 by Swedish singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad for her 1982 album Something's Going On, produced by Phil Collins.

[1] It was ABBA manager Stig Anderson who had suggested this song for Frida's album.

However, this song was deemed "weak", "pale" by critics, and that the composition was "surprisingly impersonal" by highly prolific composer Moroder.

It was released in selected countries around the world, including the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Australia and New Zealand.

[5] Frida began promoting the single on first October in the Netherlands on TV shows, Mies and Toppop, where she awaited crowds of people.

[1] Jan Bekema and Bert van der Veer, a director from Toppop gave help and recorded the music video in Almere, Netherlands.

[1] The video consists of Frida singing in front of a mountain backdrop, cats, barbed wire, dancers, an lightbulb exploding and an eagle.
