I feel like giving Donna Summer BOS.  Did some people at the time actually believe she was a man, or is that just a funny urban legend?

well lah-dee-dah! it's Jimmy Somerville Donna Summer! BOS4 with props to Giorgio Moroder.

I have a DVD containing a version of this by the Blue Man Group which is pretty cool.

Wasn't that was her singing Mannish Boy?  I always thought so.    ::)

...when they were Diane Warren-free...

Did anyone watch the Golden Globes?  I tuned in halfway & apparently she won something right before I got there.

I remember they used to call them "room odorizers" or something.  And Gaz: that rumor did exist. Just as it does about Lady Gaga. le plus ca change...

yeah, she wrote the Best Song winner, some Cher power ballad from Burlesque.

ELO is unavoidable in '77 I guess.

One of my favorite albums of all time came out in '77, but I'd get hell from some of you for suggesting 17 minutes of Pink Floyd to Annalisa.   :-\
