Donna Summer: 1948-2012

When I heard of the death of Donna Summer this morning, my thoughts went immediately to my best friend Keith LeBlanc, who lost his battle with cancer two years ago.  Keith was a huge fan of "Lady Donna" (as I heard him call her on occasion).  Keith opened my eyes to the 'deeper cuts' of Donna Summer, and I owe him for that.A quick search of Youtube brought up several of her hits......  and I'll just leave these here for you.

My favorite Donna Summer song:  On the Radio

Her music influenced decades of audiophiles and choreographers:  from radio djs to musicians, from pole dancers to club djs.  Many (if not most) of her songs were sampled/remixed for night clubs.  Here's a remix of Power of Love:

Keep singing, Lady Donna, for you have a whole new audience.  Tell Keith I said hello...
