wow....I had no idea that Donna was sick.  So sad! Disco was MY era and she was THE QUEEN!! *sighs* (wondering how her death will impact music sales....I know she wasn't Whitney, but she defined a genre. Think disco - think Donna. She was huge!) When was disco popular? My era is Madonna, Whitney and Michael Jackson. Beginning early 1970s Donna Summers late 1970s to the 80's |

From Wikipedia: LaDonna Adrian Gaines (December 31, 1948 – May 17, 2012), known by the stage name Donna Summer, was an American singer/songwriter who gained prominence during the disco era of the 1970s. She had a mezzo-soprano vocal range, and was a five-time Grammy Award winner. Summer was the first artist to have three consecutive double albums reach number one on the US Billboard chart, and she also charted four number-one singles in the United States within a thirteen-month period. Full article is fascinating: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_SummerSome of us still remember the huge controversy over her orgasmic moans in Love to Love You Baby. She blazed the trail. Respect. |

Love the 4 stars from People Magazine. But Kickin In as early George Michael? Well, to quote Wham, if you're gonna do it, do it right. Kickin In is an MJ homage from Pharrell and Adam. IMHO, specifically it's a "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" homage. Which is actually a Marvin Gay homage, specifically, to the only song that can get me to stop playing Trespassing album on repeat:"Got to Give it Up". I had to giggle at this, fifthhousesun, because I thinking WTF too abt all the George Michael refs for Kickin' In in reviews. I'm not getting that vibe at all! Even in the snippets, it sounded like if Prince and MJ had done a song together. Even the Dirty Mind, I thought, was an homage to the Prince album and song. Sounds like "Raspberry Beret" with "Kiss" falsetto. (I might be able to come up with something closer among Prince's repetoire, if the man had not scrubbed himself from YouTube. Strictly relying on memory. All these "early George Michael" refs make me think that the reviewers (a) weren't born yet--or too young to know this music, or (b) don't have a very good grasp of late 70s/early 80s music. I can also hear "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough." Prolly my fave MJ track of all time, being the oddball who preferred the Off the Wall album to Thriller. ETA: Yay Adam and NPR! My worlds collide! Ann Powers works there now, right? I've been waiting for this! Yes, TOTALLY Prince/MJ homage. NOT George Michael. |

OT
Hmm, "I will survive" was Gloria Gaynor? She had Never can say goodbye too - both representative of the disco in the 70's. Donna Summer was there too, but for some reason I can't remember any song of hers by name just like that like I do for those Gloria Gaynor songs.
