Donna Summer "Last Dance" 1978

[areyoureadytojump]

Went to #3 on the Hot 100 in 1978.

A lot of clubs would play LD before they closed.

One of her greatest and quite possibly her signature song. It seems all the more poignant now.

It won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song.

This song will close out parties until the end of time. It is flawless. I love the super extended version.

[Soulsista]

One of my favorites from her.

Definitely one of her best!!! Selena Quintanilla Perez did a cover of this at her last concert before her death. 😢

[Soulsista]

Hit #5 on the R&B chart.

[Ling-Ling]

Not much needs to be said about this one. Absolute classic. They're still shutting down clubs/bars with this one to this day. Love her vocal and that ballad intro.

#43 on Billboard's 500 Greatest Pop Songs

There’s a reason Donna Summer was the undisputed Queen of Disco. She had a voice that could do justice to both parts of this song – the plaintive ballad build-up and the explosive disco pay-off that followed. When Summer sings “Will you be my Mr. Right?,” you have the idea that she might settle for “Mr. Right Now,” a point she addresses as poetically as possible: “I can’t be sure that you’re the one for me/All that I ask is that you dance with me.” Summer performed the Paul Jabara-penned song on the Oscar telecast in April 1979, where it won best original song, besting hits by fellow pop A-listers Barry Manilow and Olivia Newton-John. – P.G.
