R.I.P. Donna

  Donna  Summers died yesterday, so you think, "I'll play a couple of her albums tonight". You tweak, and you fiddle, switch turntables, dial a couple of dials and adjust the sub.

 No audiophile in the early '80s worth his or her salt didn't own this record! Great demo record even if you didn't like her.

Between Georgio Moroder's intense, driving synths and Donna's sultry vocals, this transported you to a different level-  even if you didn't like disco.

You know you got it right when you start crying- I did.

 Donna can never do this again!

I continued to be a fan long after the disco days.... spent hours and hours listening to her- both from the production values standpoint and the artist.

So unpretentious! Dissed the "Queen of Disco" moniker.......
