Best Donna Summer Album of the 1970s

Throwback commercial

I Remember Yesterday commercial 1977!

Live and More Commercial 1978

We had the On the Radio double Lp & would listen to it nonstop as kids, though we couldn’t listen to Love to Love You, Baby when Dad was around. I picked it because it has most of her big hits.

What’s interesting to me is how artists used to release 2 albums a year.

It’s strange it hasn’t gone back to that because albums today only sell in their first few weeks before they fade away.

The other thing I had learned about “I Feel Love” that it was such a fresh sound no one knew who it was for or how to dance to it.

I have been hoping and praying that her estate will someday release the original “Live and More” concert footage on dvd. When she died CNN ran a ton of footage from that LA concert - I knew someone who attended and she sang my favorite song “Happily Ever After”.

Once Upon A Time and Bad Girls are her most ambitious albums. Hard to decide between the two.

Bad Girls is her best album, but I could listen to side 1 of Once Upon A Time forever. Her run of albums from 1977-1980 (yes, including The Wanderer, which I still love) is truly incredible.

I had all the double albums.

Loved Once Upon a Time - and "Queen for a Day" is probably my favorite of all of her songs.
