I was never more than a casual fan of Donna Summer's. But sometime in the mid-'90's, a friend gave me a pair of tickets to a concert of hers at the (then-)Universal Amphitheater. She was OMG fantastic.
And I was, as I often am with these kind of greatest hits performances, amazed at how many of her songs had gotten into my consciousness though pop culture zeitgeit. I was always more impressed with her after that, and more openly loving of her music. RIP.
