"On The Radio" is my favorite Donna Summer tune (the long version of the song).
Anyone else think that the song (also the theme song for the 1980 movie "Foxes")is possibly her best? -

I find it very hard to pick just one song as a favorite. So many of her songs and albums (or album "sides" back in the day) hold memories of certain times and places But if someone put a gun to my head and said "PICK ONE" I'd say Heaven Knows.
As a single (45 rpm) it's one of the best meeting of singer, song and production. From the swirling strings in the beginging blending seamlessly into a hot drum/bass line, to the interplay of female and male voices. Then there is the "raise yo' hands in the air" chorus. It's probably the happiest sounding song about a troubled relationship on record!
Then there's the looong version
Not so much a remix or extended version, but a SUITE! MacArthur Park Suite to be exact. Side 4 of Live and More was a 17+ minute aural masterpiece!
Heaven Knows perfection! -

I'd pick anything from 1975 to 1980, god I miss that era. When I look at the world now, music included I want to put a gun to my head. Those were great times, the music was happy and not so harsh and depressing as today.

It really is a great song. It would have been fun if she did a whole 'radio' concept for the album, with songs which referenced radio back then. 'On The Radio', 'Radio Ga-Ga', 'Video Killed the Radio Star', etc. Summer could have had quite a fun time with an album such as this!
Paul Ryan's proposal is a budget that goes against the teachings of Jesus.
