Donna Summer's SAW album may have given her career a lift but it is by far the worst album she had released up to that point. Awful, and she had released many great albums before then under Giorgio Moroder, Qunicy Jones and others, but her PAW album was kids' stuff.
PAW may have been good for the music 'business', as it is often the view on here that the business and record sales matter more than the quality of the music itself. But music-wise they were (excuse me) crap.

They took the sound of dance music and disco and fashioned their own sound but even though it sounds
a lot like General Midi files do today, I can't help but think how they have been unfairly maligned
by the "cool" music industry. Their songwriting was brilliant though and it shows how important it is
for producers and production teams to have their own sound.
