So, I was going to wait until tomorrow to bring the #MusicSermon #30DayMusicChallenge over here but we #minuswell. The full list plus Days 1 & 2 are below to keep continuity... 
. @naima got shut down this morning right after I posted one of my favorite #BlackMusicMonthChallenge prompts:
Since we know better, we all try to do better... but tell us the problematic bop you just can't let go of.
(No "When you say teenager, how old?" selections, please)

And there has never been a time before that I felt like I had to say that... but somehow this year my spirit knew...
The “Queen of Disco” Donna Summer was born in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston in 1948. “Love to Love You Baby” was released in 1975 and became the single that would catapult Summer to international disco stardom. #APeoplesJourney #SmithsonianMusic #APeoplesGroove
The 17-minute long track, featuring Summer repeating the title lyrics in her signature ethereal vocal style, reached no. 2 on the American pop chart, becoming a disco standard. Summer would go on to release a string of hit disco and pop albums in the next decade #SmithsonianMusic
Her 1979 album Bad Girls, however, showcased Summer’s notable ability to transcend the disco genre - in addition to her pop sound, Summer also incorporated R&B, soul, and even rock influences into what would become the most successful album of her career. #SmithsonianMusic
