That explains why the versatility and top-tier singing of hers. Those teachnique and skills imparted to her are countless.

      In 1980, she felt a great need to go back to her Christian roots and didn't let hollywood tell her what to do or sing and didn't care to know what she won for awards, the competition, etc. ...which hollywood likes to shun when that is in a person they think is in the palm of their hands. She also had told them that she was there to sing.
      She began singing in church when she was eight-years-old...

      She was one very talented lady who certainly left her mark in the music industry. I was very saddened by her death seven years ago. She was one of the most talented women singers of her era, better known as the Disco Queen. I remember hearing this song just about every day in 1978 when I was getting ready for school. This song shows her vocal range so well that one would never know that she was covering a song originally sung by a man.

      Jamil Gotcher , I feel the same way about Whitney Houston, Dolores O’Riordan of the 1990s Group, The Cranberries. Wonderful guy singers such as Prince, Tom Petty, David Bowie, Freddy Mercury. These people each left their mark in my opinion.

      @@Gazr965 my ex-wife was from England. When she first arrived 35 years ago, she said within a month that she realized racial issues in America weren’t the same as England. Donna could have this concert anywhere. At the Apollo in Harlem it would have been 98% black. But, she chose to sing her first live concert to almost an all white audience. You would have to live in America to realize that is extraordinary & tells you a lot about her
