Saving That Last Dance For Me

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 0575737

In love and romance with someone finding that love of your life in dating and learning about another and going through the ups and downs of the process finding that perfect match there is that phrase SAVE THAT LAST DANCE FOR ME, meaning when you get to FOREVER, with that decision, you want to be part of it, not SOME OTHER guy or gal.

Well in the LAST DANCE world, the last one in that disco era, we lost a great voice in Donna Summer at age 63, they say after ten months battling lung cancer. She could really belt out anthem after anthem like On the Radio, Hot Stuff, Bad Girls, She Works Hard For the Money, MacArthur Park, Love To Love You Baby, on and on the list it goes of popular 1970's, 1980's tunes. Go to YouTube and enjoy the feast. Like Whitney Houston, another great voice gone. But we do have her energy and her recordings and she said she was a devout Christian believer unlike some of the lyrics of her songs about ladies of the night etc. An image she said she was completely the opposite from.

Enjoy a 1978 concert about closing down the dance hall with that LAST DANCE.

Hi Gary,

So sad!

I thought your blog was going to be about how you always wanted to be the last agent to present your listing presentation to a seller.

oh yes, a LOT of singing into my hairbrush to that album "back in the day".  I bet she's dancing today too.

There are those songs that just make you want to jump up and dance and many of those songs are those of Donna Summers.  So sad.

Gary, she was instrumental in creating an era of music that I grew up in and my husband was shocked to hear of that last nite. Two powerhouse singers lost in such a short time--WOW.

She made a forever contribution and didn't need to live to be really old to do it....some of the greats leave us early on.

Closed down many a disco night with her "Last Dance."  Everyone knew when that song came on that it was closing time and there would be a mad dash to the dance floor for that last song of the evening.  Of course all her other songs were played regularly throughout the evening. It was a fun time and she was a powerhouse singer.  I'm also heartened to hear that everyone thinks that 63 is young. Disco on, Donna.

63 seems so young. She was a wonderful singer and I have danced and sang along to her too many times to remember.

I saw her before this movie & I can attest she was one fabulous singer. She could belt out a note better than Whitney Houston & a few others.  She will be missed by me.

On of my younger brother's favorite singers. I didn't embrace her music until later on. Still too young to be gone.
