Donna Summers?

Never heard of Donna Summers.

Guess it is because she was a DISCO singer.

I never listened to "Disco".

Always sad to hear about "anyone" dying

-but-

When DISCO Died,- who cared?

Unfortunately, I’ll never forget her rendition of “MacArthur Park.” I enjoyed the original Richard Harris version, but after hearing Donna Summers’ disco version nearly every hour as I drove from Chicago to Tucson in September 1978, I grew to detest it. Also from that drive is “I never promised you a rose garden,” which I also grew to loathe. This is like hearing Louie Louie played night after night by one of the guys in the dorm during my freshman year at college in 1965.

She was a talented singer and I enjoy other recordings she made.

So you spent 1977-1984 without getting any, huh?

Disco sucked so much that it filled clubs nationwide for years.

I was not much of a dancing guy, but the club was the place to be.

Donna Summer was one of the better, more successful ones.

The only good disco song was Zappa’s “Dancing Fool.”

I did! I CELEBREATED! I was so glad when Disco finally bit the dust. The '70s were bad enough without Disco!

I hated disco but I loved her. She was a babe and could really sing.
