The soundtrack of my youth - Jona Lendering - 05-17-2012
Of course, Lennon and McCartney were more innovative, Bowie was more creative, and Strummer was more urgent. And of course everything had been prepared by Giorgio Moroder. But it happens to be the soundtrack of my youth. Without the music of Donna Summer, who died today, my youth in a suburb in a provincial town would have been even less exciting.
I think her best song was I feel love.

That's too bad...she was a good artist.

I always liked "She works hard for the money" though back then I wasn't aware how critical this song is about a single mother earning money. And of course "Hot Stuff" is a classic.

Lots of good musicians leaving us this year so far.
(and for the record, the soundtrack of my youth was largely Neil Young)

While i was loath to admit it back then, as other bands and groups were more to my likeing, I too found her 'I feel Love' hypnotic!

For me, it was just the one song.
