    Donna Summer was really a great talent, so underrated she grew to be something of a pioneer over the decades. This great song was a staple track in a store where I worked weekends as a teenager in the early 80s. It helped make my working day a pleasure 😊 I was stunned when Donna made this beautiful mesmerising song with a fantastic world music feel. It was nothing like her equally great dance songs she made with the legendary electronic music wizard Giorgio Moroder in the 70s, but this was a world beating mature hit with a lot of thought and intelligence behind it. Brings back many memories of the early 80s in a lingering meditative way ❤

My daughter showed me how using Google, microphone, and search a song. I whistled it, and it found it! I am complete now- great song, great memories. I knew it had spiritual significance back then, but I wasn't able to confirm it until now. This song flooded back into my memory during the quarantine and I would replay it in my mind to make myself happy.

    Sounds like a signal from you
    bring me to meet your sound
    and I will bring you to my heart

She came in often to purchase high quality colored pencils, and was always so lovey to those of us who worked together at this small locally owned store in Green Hills. We had many Customers who were in the Music industry, and they were all so kind to us, as this town is their home and this is their neighborhood, and they, like all of us, have hobbies, so, as artist ourselves, we enjoyed showing everyone new products and techniques that might enrich their off-time & artistry. But, full admission, It was always fun to see her roll up in her bad ass range rover, Looking everyday effortlessly gorgeous in yoga pants and a baseball cap with all her hair pulled back in a simple pony tail. xoxo K

    Donna Summer war great! Only she could switch from gospel to disco, from disco to rock with a great success, because she has a incredible voice. She was more than a Disco Queen, she was also a Queen of Hearts, a cristian woman, mother and wife.
    Rest in peace Donna! We will never forget you!

    So surreal to hear Donna Summer doing a Jon Anderson vocal. She has a marvelous voice, it's just so odd to hear it used with Anderson-style phrasing and music backdrop.

    Yesterday's news was really sad. In my mind Donna Summer owned the first image of a black, beautiful, sophisticated, female. I'm thinking of a host of her songs that are such a part of my musical history. State of Independence stands out as supremely special. Not only was it a great song (VanGelis I'll always thank you for this) but I remember it somewhat elevating her as a mature artist after all the controversy during her earlier career. Donna R.I.P. knowing you brought beauty to the world.

    It makes me cry too. Just so uplifting with an anthemic and drammatic cresendo of choir voices towards the end. Awe inspiring. Goodbye Donna. Rest In Peace and thanks for all the joy you brought into this world with your wonderful music.

    Yep, I'm here because of the Quincy Jones interview, too. I remember when this song came out. She was making her transition from disco, which was basically dead by 1982. I hear only a slight similarity between this and "Billie Jean". This and "They Don't Care About Us", yes. I can definitely hear that.
