Been doing some retro listening. So, everyone knows the Donna Summer version, but there are a bunch of others.

What's your favorite version of this classic? Good article, here:

However, even though I was a horn player back in the day, his version may have one of the best saxophone solos of all time. I can still hear it from memory in its entirety.
