Donna Summer
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.
"I Feel Love" was a HUGE tune

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?)
