Isidore Frederick (I.F.) Hellmuth (1845-1944) was the first champion of what became the Canadian National Tennis Championship, now known as the Canadian Open or the Rogers Cup. He was also a three-time runner-up as well as one-time doubles champion.

Born at Sherbrooke, Quebec in 1845, he was the son of Isaac Hellmuth, Bishop of Huron. After an early education at London, Ontario, he studied at Trinity College, Cambridge and trained for the English bar at the Inner Temple. Returning to Canada, he became a barrister at Toronto. He was a Life Bencher of the Law Society of Upper Canada. In 1880, he married Harriet Emily Gamble (b.1847), grand-daughter of Henry John Boulton. One of his junior partners, John Meredith, son of Sir William Ralph Meredith, married his daughter, Miriam.^{[citation needed]}

In 1874, Hellmuth founded the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club. He was runner-up at an unofficial United States national tennis championship in 1880, before winning the inaugural tournament played in 1881 at the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club, by defeating W.H. Young, also of Canada, 6-2, 6-2. The following year, Hellmuth lost the final to compatriot Harry D. Gamble, 2-6, 3-6, 2-6.

"I Feel Love" is a song by Donna Summer, taken from her 1977 concept album I Remember Yesterday.

The song constituted the "future" segment of the album, which represented a stylistic progress through time. The title track of the I Remember Yesterday album represented the 1940s, "Love's Unkind" the 1950s, "Back in Love Again" the 1960s and the album concluded with the futuristic "I Feel Love". The song reached number one in the UK Singles Chart, number six on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and number nine on the Hot Soul Chart. It quickly became popular in gay dance clubs and was adopted as a gay anthem. "I Feel Love" is ranked #418 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. "I Feel Love" was added to the National Recording Registry in 2012.

Before "I Feel Love", most disco recordings had been backed by acoustic orchestras although all-electronic music had been produced for decades. Giorgio Moroder's innovative production of this disco-style song, recorded with an entirely synthesized backing track, spawned imitators in the disco genre, and was influential in the development of techno.
