We loved Donna Summer’s crystal clear, sultry voice, her infectious energy and the sense of freedom and fun that she emoted through her lyrics. For us (and we are avowed disco kids) she is and always will be our Dancing Queen. Rest in Peace Donna – you are gone today, but will never be forgotten through the gift of music that you shared with the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you! In the infamous words of Donna, “Now let’s dance baby, come on baby, let’s dance tonight”!
