Donna Makes A Splash In The USA
"I came out in a pantsuit, gave him a firm handshake and he said "I thought you were gonna come slithering out in a baby doll or something.""
I first heard of DONNA SUMMER when the song
'LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY'
hit the airwaves in Los Angeles, 1975.
I only heard the US single version.
I remember it got alot of play and everyone was singing it in the neighborhood.....especially younger kids!
I liked the song, but no more than any other on the charts.
I never even thought of it in a sensuous or sexual context (I don't know how I missed that one, don't ask!).
I recall reading about her in 'PEOPLE' magazine. There was something, I don't even know what, even today, But I found myself drawn to her.
Along with the most awesome voice, she looked like no one else I'd ever seen.
Thoes eyes! Thoes fabulous shoulders! Her trademark bangs! Her up in the air nose! And that trademark pose, head back, eyes closed, arms out. Oh what a STAR! To this day, she gives me chills and goosebumps.
I didn't know it, but my new favorite DIVA had already carved herself a niche in Showbiz......Across the Ocean......Donna had several successful singles and an album under her belt....
I wouldn own a copy of this one until 2000!
