Donna Summer died today in Miami at age 63. Yes, she was the Queen of Disco, the First Lady of Love, the Voice of a Decade, all of that. She was also my sister's doppelganger, and a vehicle for Giorgio Moroder avant garde synthesized dance music.
Maybe the first time that I saw Donna Summer was 1974 when she performed "The Hostage" on the "Van Oekel's Discohoek" tv show. It's a classic. Watch as she's handed the telephone by Evert van der Pik: "Hier Donna, 't is voor jou!"
