Paris, Donna Summer, et Moi 1975 (Donna Summer RIP)

I went back hoping it was there, and of course it wasn’t.
I was working odd jobs and had arrived with $400 total hoping to stay indefinitely. (I eventually got a job teaching American English at a French school).
That night I was pretty upset, so I went out to eat and drink with some friends. We then went to a club. I was drinking with abandon trying to forget my worries. While out on the dance floor, this very different, unusual music was playing. It was slightly hypnotic and just kept on going and going (for more than 15′!). I didn’t recognize the singer or the style. It wasn’t soul music, wasn’t Stax or Volt or Motown stuff, wasn’t funk either. It was a new style called disco. It was Donna Summer singing “Love to Love You Baby”. It was great and really lifted my spirits, if only temporarily. I danced my butt off. And had a terrible hangover the next morning.
