Our Universal language is Music; beautiful sounds, emotionally provocative. All sounds, whether sweet or bitter, resonate… raises chills on our skin; causes our hearts to race; brings tears to our eyes.
Speaking of tears, my latest inspiration while in Los Angeles was recording a new version of “It Only Hurts When I Cry” from Beach Blanket Bingo. How surprised I was to discover
a wonderful guitarist whose friend owned a studio I could record in and sing a song I haven’t sung since I was in my teens! And what a blessing to reconnect with friends who are investing themselves in a revival of my career. Jeffrey, a videographer and Bobby who is a world class percussionist just recently home from touring with another Donna…Summer. My son, Joey, said hello from a bass player he knew, Bob Glaub which spawned a connection to add his talent to my project. He’s currently on tour with Crosby, Stills and Nash. FYI, his brother attended Venice High with me. I am so honored to make music with friends. All this creativity culminated in doing a video debuting on YouTube this summer.
Seems that STARLOG MAGAZINE has opted out and will only be FANGORIA so Pat Janiekwicz who wrote the Batman article is looking into placing his “Batman Babes” into another publication. Keep you posted.
Hold on tight on this roller coaster ride.
Love you all,
Donna
So glad to have you back in my life.. You are singing better than ever and still as beautiful as I remembered you to be!
P.S. (my Zamia is truly Vanda-full) xxx b.c.
Donna, that is super cool. I always thought that was a great song, and of course your vocals and delivery were terrific. I’ve always wished there was a better recording of the soundtrack version. Now maybe? I also liked the Styner/Hemric songwriting team; very underappreciated, as are you!
