Thank you for sharing your story I never had the pleasure of meeting Donna yet she and her music still impacts my life to this day! She will always be my number 1.

for a gay farm kid from North Carolina - often ridiculed for my love of Donna Summer, this proves that I was absolutely right and just in my love of her. When I met her daughter Brooklyn last year at the Toronto premiere of Love to Love You Donna Summer - I was crying before I even got words out...it was the closest I would ever get to Donna and I was overwhelmed. Brooklyn was so gracious and gave me a huge hug. Until I am no longer on this plane, Donna Summer is my #1
