The look was one key part of Gray’s mission with the slightly surrealist visual, which sees a grocery store—employees and shoppers included—suddenly turn into a venue for some high voltage synchronized and choreographed dancing. I wanted the Never Ending Song music video to be the example of what we all wish we could do when our favorite song comes on,” Gray explained of the visual. “You’re snapped into your own little world, where suddenly everything feels like a music video. Your walk falls into the beat, your outfit feels a little cooler—you just want to sing along. I’ve had so many moments in life where Ive been at a grocery store, in school, anywhere in public and just desperately wanted to break into a full blown lip sync dance break, but couldn’t. Never Ending Song is that kind of song.Check out the full visual for “Never Ending Song” below!
With her honeyed voice, huge, doe eyes, and tumbling raven curls, Donna Summer was a pop culture presence nonpareil, producing an improbable number of disco and R&B hits in the 1970s and 1980s. (“I Feel Love,” “Last Dance,” “Heaven Knows,” “Bad Girls,” “Hot Stuff,” “On the Radio”…the list goes on and on.) Yet behind the sexy persona and 10 minute dance mixes was a fiercely private mother of three girls a survivor of sexual and physical abuse and an irrepressible, agenda setting artist who did, in fact, work very hard for the money. Summer’s riveting story—from her difficult childhood in Boston, where she eagerly sang in church, to her early break in Germany, hard won success in the American disco scene, late career controversies, and fatal battle with lung cancer—is the subject of a new HBO documentary, Love to Love You, Donna Summer. Directed by Roger Ross Williams and Summer’s daughter Brooklyn Sudano, it combines extensive home videos and concert footage with intimate new interviews, primarily with members of Summer’s immediate family, painting a textured portrait of a complicated star.
