I’m not familiar with this one. Donna Summer was the diva of all divas! Thank you Paul for putting the spotlight on the less familiar hits!
Thank you, Retro Hound. I did not forget about your Billy Idol request it has been hectic lately around here. I am trying to locate a copy 🙂
You’re too kind Paul!! Big thank you!

Thank you, Paul for this 90’s Donna Summer classic. It’s been quite a while since I’ve last heard this, and I know I’m going to relish what you’ve done because your rips are so excruciatingly stellar! Thanks for keeping memories alive of the ones we miss most!!
