It was released on March 5, 1976, just eight months after her international breakthrough with the single and album of the same name – "Love to Love You Baby". The bold, sexual nature of that particular song had earned Summer the title 'the first lady of love'. By now Summer's work was being distributed in the U.S. by Casablanca Records, and the label encouraged Summer, Moroder and team to continue in this vein. A Love Trilogy uses the first side for one long disco track in three distinct movements ('Try Me', 'I Know', 'We Can Make It', and coalescing into the "love trilogy" of the title – "Try Me, I Know We Can Make It". Side two contained three additional erotic disco songs, including a cover of Barry Manilow's "Could It Be Magic". The album's artwork showed Summer floating light-heartedly through the clouds, again adding to the image of her as a fantasy figure. The album sold well across the world, (it was her second, consecutive album to be certified Gold in the United States) and again topped the national US Disco charts. Edited versions of "Try Me, I Know We Can Make It" and "Could It Be Magic" did not reach the top forty on the Billboard Hot 100, but the latter was a sizable R&B hit (#21) and disco hit (#3). Casablanca released a 12-inch version of "Try Me I Know We Can Make It" with "Love to Love You Baby" on the reverse side. The single "Could It Be Magic" was a Top 5 hit in the Netherlands. The album did not fare so well in the UK where it reached only the no. 41 spot in September, some six months after its initial release.[4] Likewise the single "Could It Be Magic" which only reached no. 40.[5] Track listingAll tracks produced by Pete Bellotte and Giorgio Moroder. {{tracklist| headline = Side one | title1 = Try Me, I Know We Can Make It | writer1 = {{hlist|Donna Summer|Bellotte|Moroder}} | length1 = 17:57 }}{{tracklist | headline = Side two | title2 = Prelude to Love | writer2 = {{hlist|Summer|Bellotte|Moroder}} | length2 = 1:06 | title3 = Could It Be Magic | writer3 = {{hlist|Adrienne Anderson|Barry Manilow}} | length3 = 5:19 | title4 = Wasted | writer4 = {{hlist|Bellotte|Moroder}} | length4 = 5:09 | title5 = Come With Me | writer5 = {{hlist|Bellotte|Moroder}} | length5 = 4:22 }} Personnel
