Thank God It's Friday
When I was a kid, back in the seventies, I remember watching the movie "Thank God it's Friday". The movie was about a Friday night in the hot new disco in town, "The Zoo". I loved this silly movie because it gave me a peek into the glamorous disco scene that was huge at that time. The cast of crazy characters spun together somehow seemed just the right amount of fun.
The late, great Donna Summer played a young disco diva who wanted her chance to sing in the spotlight at the club, but kept being dismissed time and time again by DJ Bobby Speed. Until the end...when she stole the spotlight and sang her Academy Award winning song, "Last Dance". Good times...
I think I'm going to find a copy of this gem at some point this weekend and go back in time to The Zoo!
Thank God it's Friday Bloggers! Go out and get your "Last Dance" on.

I loved Donna Summer back in the day. And, can there ever be a movie where you have a hot looking chic like Donna Summer in it where you don't get shocked to the point of throwing your popcorn because the freak who looks like a fly, Jeff Goldblum is in it?
