speaking of Donna Summer rarities,have you guys ever heard the song "Walk Hand In Hand"? It's an outtake from the 1982 Quincy Jones sessions.A very good song.It's in demo form so it needed a little work,but it would have been a perfect replacement for "Livin In America" (a mediocre song). | |

Here a nice qoute from singer Dionne Farris about Donna:
If I may say so, Ms. Summer, I love your voice! You had the ability to change how your voice came out on each song. Your tone was warm and wonderful. Your voice was rich, clear, infectious, and you could sing sweet and strong, and do both very well. You were the first singer I heard that I felt was a new singer for the age. Before then, I was listening to my mother’s singers. You were the bomb, plain and simple. As your musical tastes expanded, you really stretched the spectrum of styles. You gave me hope and ideas, ideas that my own blossoming dream of becoming a singer could come true...because you looked like me! You were beautiful, glamorous, fashion-forward, and a risk taker, and that was hot! You gave little girls like me a glimpse of a progressive female artist in the music business. I honor you for your etchings on music’s history and I say thank you so much for giving me options for my masterpiece to the world of music. Ms. Summer, all my best to you. | |
