Runs for cover...
 
Agreed. I prefer her version of State of Independence above the original by a wide margin.
 
RIP.

Well made & produced "disco" was so much more than the word itself suggests & Donna Summer recorded & released the real cream of the crop.

RIP Donna. Yes, disco sucked.  But she was so much more. My lifelong love and obsession with synth-pop began with I Feel Love. Those pulsating synths were so perfect with her voice floating over them. Think about it...the driving incessant pulse of the synths, and her voice hovering above and then coming down into the mix. Maybe not prog, but truly progressive. She gave us much special music.]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 19:56:55 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=86946&PID=4511692#4511692 Donna Summer dead at 63 (1948-2012) : RIP http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=86946&PID=4511681#4511681 Author: Man With Hat

While not wishing to start a prog/not prog debate, she showed an admirable sense of adventure in her music. The side long song "Love to love you baby" had a basic structure along the lines of "Close to the edge". Girogio Mauroder's production and use of electronic sounds were new and exciting and we should not under estimate Summer's ability to write a good song. Try "Queen for a day" from "Once upon a time" for an example of a wonderful album track.
 
RIP Donna, your music will live on for sure.
