Group says Boston needs a Donna Summer statue

Donna Summer - Love To Love You Baby, Live on The Midnight Special 1976

The Herald reports on a campaign to get a statue in the city for Dorchester's disco diva, who, unlike the newest person to get a statue, never derided her hometown.

Donna Gaines, born in Dorchester, raised on Mission Hill, is one unappreciated artist. Ms. Summer wrote melody as well as lyrics. He voice had all of the technical mastery of Broadway worth an R & B feel. Her work on "Four Seasons of Love" was a prototype of Europop. "I Feel Love" was the prototype for EDM. Yes, recognition of Donna Summer is entirely appropriate.

Donna Summer passed away two years ago this week. Her beautiful, powerful voice was a genuine gift, as seen in these two videos from 2004 in Fenway Park. (has anyone ever sung the National Anthem better than this?)
