Morning members,
Just came across a nice article and new video of proud Grandmother and Disco Queen Donna Summer and her beautiful family. My how everyone has grown!
Wanted to share...
The Queen and Her Crayons: An Interview with Donna Summer
http://www.popmatters.com/pm/feature/58651/the-queen-and-her-crayons-an-interview-with-donna-summer/
| Quote: | By extension, “Crayons” also celebrates interracial relationships. Donna Summer recently contributed an essay on that very subject to Essence magazine. “As black people, we need to accept the diversity that is emerging out of this culture,” she says. “We can’t all walk around holding fast to ‘this is who we’re supposed to be.’” The reality, however, is that people in the U.S. still have grave reservations about interracial anything. In her own life, Summer has sensed disapproval for being married to an Italian American, even without anyone overtly expressing criticism.
The spirit of “Crayons” also represents the heterogeneous bloodline Summer inherited from her parents and passed on to her daughters. She explains, “My mother’s mixed and my grandparents are mixed. I have one daughter who’s a little darker than the others and I have one daughter who looks like she’s Italian. My other daughter, Mimi, looks like she could be anything. My granddaughters have long platinum blonde hair and blue eyes. One of them is so white she’d give Casper a run for his money.” |
I've always loved her music and I just hate I missed this when it aired...

| As far as 80's disco goes, I remember having a debate at work over who the Queen title goes to... it's a toss up between Donna Summer and Irene Cara, though I favor Donna Summer. |

Donna Summer all the way, Irene Cara only had a few hits from the movie Fame. And most of that fell under the 70's excersize move
Donna Summer was the Disco Queen. I love just about everything from the 70's though...
She was known as the Sex Goddess or the Love Queen something like that
