The Vinyl Countdown # 43

Donna Summer, On The Radio: Greatest Hits – Volume I & II (1979) Donna Summer was one of the queens of 1970s radio – her disco-fied pop, R’n’B and funk was everywhere for me growing up in the early 1980s, on radio and via the records my folks had. And I have no idea how […]
