Donna Summer wasn’t the diva of the dance floor for me: she was an unearthly voice coming through my AM radio when I was a sixth-grader, my elementary-school channel to the divine. A couple of decades later, she got on the phone with me to talk about the history of disco, and was kind enough to discuss the recording of “Love to Love You Baby” and the inspiration behind “Bad Girls.” The world’s a poorer place without her. Toot-toot, beep-beep.
