This week the theme is to find a song from a concept album.
I have never heard of a concept album…Now I feel like I have a lot of listening to do!
Donna Summer
‘Once Upon a Time…’
1977
The Concept: A fantastical disco fairy tale where a young woman is saved by the beat — and goes on to live “Happily Ever After.”
The Execution: The disco queen’s third high-concept disco album (after 1976’s climate-inspired Four Seasons of Love and 1977’s retro-minded I Remember Yesterday) is a dance-floor-ready retelling of the Cinderella story, with Summer portraying the longing-for-escape heroine. The rubbery “Fairy Tale High” and the splendidly funky “Queen for a Day” push Summer’s journey toward liberation along, while the final tracks — the triumphant, string-laden “I Love You” and the joyous “Happily Ever After” — wrap up the story in delightful fashion. —M.J.

Love hearing her sing. I didn’t know about concept albums either, now I’ll be paying more attention to album songs and how they relate to each other. 🙂

I used a website with a list of the top 50. That means 50 to at least look into

Good choice. I had her Greatest Hits album. Still see the lads in the dole queue in the Full Monty as Hot Stuff plays in the background

Donna Summer was a creative visionary, involved in all aspects of her performances, from set design to costumes, and even her own fashion choices as she changed the face of music. Thanks for sharing this lovely song, Christine.
