It doesn't mention it, but thew guitar solo is by Skunk Baxter, of Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers.

Baxter later became a military defense expert, and became a consultant. He considered running for Congress as a Republican in 1999. He even met Trump during his first term. But first, he played this rock solo for Donna Summer.


Hot Stuff


Trump just met with a classic-rock legend and a missile-defense expert — and it was the same guy

The Hot Stuff is the really great guitar bit.

But all were unquestionably disco!

I would say Miss You is more disco than Emotional Rescue. But they were due for a song about a fine Arab Charger.

Donna Summer started as a singer in a blues rock band and you can hear the influence, particularly the guitar and bass work, throughout her songs.

One day, I was listening to that song, and I realized it’s a country song. Looked it up, I was right.

“Love To Love You Baby” has a long version that runs about 17 minutes, and is Very NSFW.
