    Hi, I’m Gail Nobles & you’re listening to the Country Soul Show. Today’s topic: Donna Summer - Starting Over Again. A song that was written for Dolly Parton. The song goes like this …(Singing)

    Starting Over Again written by Donna Summer. It was performed by Dolly Parton and released in March 1980 as the first single from Dolly Parton’s album Dolly, Dolly, Dolly. Starting Over Again made the U.S. pop top forty, peaking at #36, and reached number 1 on the U.S. Country charts on May 24, 1980.

    Donna Summer also performed it live numerous times on television specials during the 1980’s, including her own program, The Donna Summer Show.

    The song is about a couple separating after 30 years of marriage. I love the lines in the first verse.

    And all the kings horses
    And all the kings men
    Could never put mommy and daddy back together again.

    The song was based upon the divorce of Donna Summer’s husband Bruce Sudano’s parents.
