That was cool.
This one says it's higher quality audio.

I did a double-take that I was still listening to RP, then I realized, how apropos of Bill to play this in Donna's honor! Thanks Bill & Thanks Donna for all the fun hits you made! RIP

I wasn't a huge disco fan, the Bee Gees were the deal, but Donna captured a different soulfulness that most disco lacked. Sorry to hear that she passed away yesterday. May she rest in peace. Hope her and Whitney get to sign together in heaven, that'd be one great duo to hear.

Disco sucked in the seventies, Disco nostalgia sucks now! Sorry, Donna, RIP, but you're feeling no love from me.

I can't count how many 80's bands borrowed from this.

Wow, way to go , Bill. Hard to believe how old this tune is and that Donna had to die to hear it played with the kind of respect it deserved.

Arpeggiated stereo synth part is somewhat hypnotizing and always liked it. The rest not so much. Oh well...

Thanks Bill. I had no idea any DS was in your catalog. Never was a huge fan, but still. RIP Disco Queen.
