I've never really liked this record, whose bitterness rings true but is just too...well, too TOO, unless you're on the verge of a breakup! For folks who weren't there: Donna and Barbra were more or less billed as the duet of all time for this "surprise" release. Of course, it sounds more like The Battle of The Century, as two stars - Old School and (at that time) New School stab each other to death via 12" wax.

Why comment? Because this record did mean something to disco. As I remember, it was released toward the end of 1979. The backlash was ferociously underway, but did not prevent this record from topping the pop chart with sales in excess of two million copies.

Even that may not sound overly impressive given the talent and hype. But do NOT underestimate how the public had already turned against disco since its commercial peak in March, 1979. To be sure, a handful of disco records would continue to hit: "Pop Muzik" by M, "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc. and "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" by The S.O.S. Band, among others, would also sell in excess of 2 million copies each. Even rarefied cult items like like Jimmy Ruffin's "Hold On To My Love," squeaked into the Top 10 on Main Street, U.S.A in 1980. The success of this particular, in-your-face record at made those of us who feared the worst hope and believe thatr disco would somehow surivive -- unchanged!!!

To a 1979 teen queen like MOI - ignorant, and whose glory days lay 20 years ahead - "Disco sucks" had acquired an ugly, unmistakably political tone. Only deacades later would I be able to refine these terms into "homophobic" and "racist." In short, much was going on that should have made a fiercely imagined yet whiny and semi-awful record like "Enough Is Enough" a flop. Credit its success to star power and the powerful death-grip of disco, which had, for brief years, enchanted and IMPROVED Middle America!

To say this ambitious project was an apex of disco moments is self evident. Had it failed, it would have been disco's all-time most embarrassing reference .
Instead it's an intensely hyper-produced brilliant work of art... bursting with life with its high drama energy
thanks largely to one of disco's own favorite sons who provides his gifted flair here as the song's author ... Paul Jabara .

Donna Summer Rules ! This song was her fifth no 1 in the US,and showed she had the star power. Her power and grip on Disco even though it was failing endured. This is a an all time classic.
Oh and Barbra Striesand was also on the song.
