RIP Donna Summer. :(

Such a shame ...at 63, so hardly 'old'.

This landmark song of hers brings back such happy memories for me.
It was way ahead of its time too:

Just see this terrible sad news on the tv.....imo a true great.

The Queen of disco has gone but will never be forgotten :NoNo:

[bigmarco]

Yes very sad and only young at 63. 2 great songs already posted bring back many happy memories.

[grahamw48]

So many great songs to choose from. I have her greatest hits album.
'I feel Love' really started electronic dance music.

What a great time the real' Disco Era' was...to be in your 20s and boogying every night of the week. Thanks for the memories Donna.

What does it mean though? Someone told me it was about Hiroshima but I am not certain about that....:Erm:

[lastlid]

Slight change of accent to the thread but General McArthur was also involved in the Philippines evidently...

[grahamw48]

I was too busy impressing the birds with my dancing to listen to the words. :REDancedancer08:

:icon_lol:

[stevie c]

Yes in Angeles City Mcarthur Highway is named after him :xxgrinning--00xx3:

HaHa now you have me checking the internet.

[grahamw48]

MacArthur first ran away from the Phils in 1941 and then did his glorious return a couple of years later after the poor Filipinos had been left at the mercy of the Japs. :cwm3:

...Also a city in Eastern Samar.

Is she picking your pocket Graham?

[grahamw48]

1977 Top of the pops is on BBC4 at the moment, so she may be on that. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

Is she picking your pocket Graham?

No, probably just trying to get my pants off. :icon_lol:

(Face blanked out because she was the girlfriend of a mate of mine, and might be a member of this board now for all I know. :omg: ).

I played quite a lot of Donna Summer songs this afternoon. Really great :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I have to say that for me the Donna Summer version of McArthur Park is probably the best one yet.
