It's been 20 years since her last major pop hit, 17 years since her last album, and she's only had a few club hits since -- but no matter. By now, every gay man knows, ''The Queen Is Back.'' The Queen of Disco and gay clubland -- Donna Summer. Summer's Stamp Your Feet tour, named after her spell-it-out current single, which just topped the dance chart, kicks off at Wolf Trap tonight, Saturday, July 5. Not only can you be one of the first to see it, it's also a special treat because Summer's still got it. She was as energetic and captivating last year at Gay Days in Disney as she was three decades ago, and her new album Crayons is better than you'd expect. It certainly sounds much fresher -- hipper -- than it needs to. The gospel-trained belter is still in fine form, with a voice as strong and supple -- as glorious -- as ever. Read Doug Rule's full review of Donna Summer's Crayons.
