I used to be obsessed with shit from the 70s growing up because VH1 used to always play documentaries and specials about it.
This is great BBC documentary about the queens of Disco.

Sylvester was underrated too.
Very very underrated.



!!!!!!!  :stressed:

I learned so much from his Unsung episode
His Unsung was so sad.

This is the only interview I've ever seen of Sylvester. He was so full of life.

Very sad. But he loved himself some white men. Majority of his lovers were white. But yes he was so full of life and flamboyant.

Black artists created Disco and the white artists tried to take over it which is why it died.

The Queen of Disco no question about it.  I don't know why she doesn't get more love.  Some people consider her "a sell-out" or "self-hater" but if that's true, why does Tina Turner get a pass?  She has said questionable things.

Tina had bigger hits, she's a toruing legend and her career success endured a lot longer than Donna. Even so, Tina has received her share of backlash from the Black community. Whenever the girls are getting tributes it's always Aretha, Chaka and Gladys. I don't think i've ever seen a Tina tribute before Bey sang with her at that the Grammys.

Nobody cares about Donna? Shes a  underrated legend yes but that's untrue. THe anti-disco mvoement and anti-gay comments sort of tarnished her legacy.
And leave Tina Turner alone. lol

I have huge cd booklets with all my cds & artwork in them. I used to be so crazy about maintaining my cds, making sure everything was cleaned and no scratches,  alphabetized, etc. I've calmed down now

!!! I still do this  :plzstop: For some reason I just need that hard copy. Plus I rip it in lossless so it sounds better in my car and whatnot than an mp3 mess.

Oh, and didn't Donna Summer say some homophobic shit back in the day that got her shunned from the gay community? That's always why I thought she fell off, being in disco and slandering the gays is not the best idea  :dead:.

nobody loves/knows this song.. it's from her last album. I had it at the release.. my father bought me it.. ;and i was living in cameroon and he gave me the album..
and  i was like " why donna"
and he said " hey she's a real singer, stop the brandy, janet and everything and listen to her new album too".

she has a sentimental place in my heart because she was one of my fatherss favorites..he had many albums, and he used to listen to her in the car when he was taking me to school.
I HATED IT...!!!

but now than i am far from him.. i listen to this track a lot .. it's a pop basic ballad... but so quiet, so nice.. it made me thinks of him..


Crayons was a really nice album
