As essential as Donna is to the genre and music in general, you need to expand your disco oeuvre beyond her as there’s a lot of great stuff.

Did you see the documentary on her life (directed by her daughter if I remember correctly)? It’s excellent and shows how much she had to deal

with as a woman and mother in the music industry of the 70s and 80s.

I also can’t hear her music or name without thinking of this Saturday Night Live skit. “Simmer Donna!

Oh trust, I'm a disco enthusiast in general. In fact, this newsletter will be back on the disco hits train next week (no spoilers, though). RE: the Donna documentary, I watched it and was honestly a bit underwhelmed. It was well-done aesthetically, but I wanted more from some of the stories. They also left a bunch of stuff out. She left us way too soon. RIP Queen <3
