I will miss you, Donna Summer.
Random thoughts of a girl who used to try to fit in the box. Then I realized that boxes are stupid. Except this box, the one above. It's really pretty.

Summer: the Greatest Season of Music
My post about the 70s? The one where I said there were only two good things that came out of that decade - yes, that one. Well, I lied. DISCO, baby!!!! One of my favorite genres of music is DISCO! I love it! Nothing makes me want to get up and dance and sing and be crazy like Disco! And I am so sad that Donna Summer has gone to that great Disco Ball in the Sky. She was my favorite. And two of my all-time favorite songs are "On the Radio" and "Last Dance." I hear those songs and grab my pretend microphone and start dancing and singing at the top of my lungs (at least in my mind I do). I am actually doing that right now as I pay tribute to the greatest disco songstress EVER.
I will miss you, Donna Summer.

She was a 'local girl', from the Boston area. So sad to hear she passed away. I saw her on 'Biography' many years ago and she mentioned how uncomfortable she was in the sex queen image that the music industry forced her into. I believe she preferred singing gospel. I think my fave song by her is her version of 'MacArthur Park'.
ReplyDeleteDisco was just a blip on my radar...hardly noticed it.
ReplyDeleteNice tribute to Donna Summer, and sad to hear that news of her passing, especially just a day after the loss of the Chuck Brown. Very sad days for music indeed.
ReplyDeleteI can still picture our daughter wearing her glittery headband ... dancing around (as graceful as a bull elephant) and singing her little heart out to disco music.
ReplyDeleteOh my word! I hadn't heard that she passed until I read this post.
ReplyDelete"No more tears" with Barbara Streisand, was my favourite record as a kid.
Lovely tribute to a wonderful singer.
Last Dance was such a great song! I have to say I did enjoy a lot of disco music myself :)
ReplyDeletebetty
She has beautiful voice!
ReplyDeleteI have a love hate relationship with disco. That I lived through it makes me feel really old.
ReplyDeleteSaddened by her passing. And 63 :( Strange to me, too, how little hype around her death compared to others. Probably the biggest name from the 70s. Hope she died peacefully with friends.
