As a Massachusetts kid, I was always perplexed how they came about to record “Going Home to Massachusetts”.

I was fortunate to be a teenager during music's golden age... the disco era.

 

Donna Summer was, of course, the Queen (I saw her in concert twice... including during the week she had the top 2 songs on the Billboard charts... still (I believe) the only artist since The Beatles to do so).

POP STANDARDS:

 

 

It took me FOREVER to find that version of Evita. The entire album was great. Have you heard Donna Summer’s “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina”?
