I once heard Steve Allen read the lyrics to “Hot Stuff,” and it sounded ridiculous. The lyrics for “Bad Girls” aren’t much better if you read them out loud. When Donna Summer sang those songs, however, the lyrics were transformed. I know it is in style to denigrate disco, and much of it was bad, but Donna Summer, the Queen of Disco, transcended the genre.
I actually have a Crosley record player here in my office. Tonight I’m playing Donna Summer and feeling very very old.
