Donna Summer
I don’t have a long story regarding Donna Summer, but the first and only Donna Summer record I bought was in around 1990. I bought this double record set of hers called “Bad Girls” (1979) at a local second hand market. Well I really liked that record of Donna Summers back then and would play it on my record player. Some of the songs on that record included: “Dim all the Lights”, “Walk Away”, “Bad Boys” and ”Sunset People” etc.
In about 2003, I had to throw away my old record player as it wasn’t working properly anymore. Due to that I couldn’t listen to the Donna Summer double record set anymore. In about 2004 I bought the double CD set of the same title (Bad Girls). Also in the same year I was doing a Communication and Media Diploma. Part of the Diploma entailed making up a short video. So I used the Donna Summer song “Hot Stuff” and produced a music video. Five other people were also in the music video. I also included a lot of different effects, which my teacher at the time helped me to do.

I don’t really listen to the double CD set “Bad Boys” by Donna Summer anymore as most of the songs include sappy love songs. The songs which really stand out for me from the double CD set include Hot Stuff, Dim all the Lights and Bad Girls. I don’t really get into constant love songs. But I do like the CD cover, which gives the records a lift.
