I met the lovely Donna in a mall in Nashville. I was so excited that I even recognized her... minding her own business looking at clothes I could not help myself and went straight up to her and said your Donna Summer! Yes she said ever so quiet with a smile on her face. We had a lovely conversation. We could have talked more, she didn't mind at all. What a memory, she's gracious and beautiful, I had no idea she died until today...May 2023. Thank you Donna for all that you are and will be forever in our hearts. ❤

You and I are about the same age. Listening to this interview is both funny and slightly painful. I know that ANY music you want these days is available on CD or download. However, this was one of the first albums I bought when I was in HS. Back then I used to think I could be a talent scout for when I heard this album I felt Donna Summer was going to be HUGE!!! I marveled at how she was able to sing a very realistic falsetto ( which is how she sang this song among others) and also belt with her "big" voice. I remember some of the other tracks sounded somewhat like Country ( a song with "Pandora's Box" in the lyric comes to mind). The sadness is because this vinyl LP I purchased years ago among others was lost during the hurricanes of 2017. It had been sitting at my mother's house all these years. She had collaborated with this Giorgio Moroder on a LOT of her music. I remember the name very well. It's funny. She was probably living her life in Germany and probably had no immediate intentions of returning to America. Fate had other plans!!
