I'm Sandro Coutinho (a.k.a SandroCS), a 38 years old brazilian graduate in Journalism and Law. I've been a Donna Summer fan since 1978, when I first heard MacArthur Park (the long version) for the first time. That song is still my undisputed favorite. Since then, I've been following her career year after year and collecting every item relating her I could find.
These days, I'm still looking for collectibles and memorabilia about her and desperately longing for her new releases.

FOREVER DONNA website is the result of a hard work that started out in 1999, when I first launched my tribute to Donna Summer, then titled FOREVER TRUE.  Since then, feedback from Donna Summer fans from all over the world has been really outstanding, what proves the power and influence the artist Donna Summer still have over the general public.

THANK YOU'S

Along these 5 years, since FOREVER DONNA was launched, I have had the priceless support from several wonderful friends - all of them die-hard Donna Summer fans - just like myself. So, I'd like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitute to them, namely:

RAEL SANDOVAL for his endless friendship and for letting me share with everyone a part of his Donna treasure - which includes many of the site's rare and exclusive  pictures;

CATHY HAWKINS for being such a giving person. All the support and friendship you've been giving me since the beginning are invaluable;

ENRIQUE GIMENO (aka QUIQUE and Q) for your sincere friendship and  genuine enthusiasm and hard work on the LYRICS section, as well as on the Spanish part of the now discontinued multilingual project.

DENIS RIVARD (aka Bricko) for being my french voice in the now discontinued multilingual project. I know how hard it probably was contributing to FD and running your wonderful BRICKOMANIA site at the same time.

EMERSON PERSONA for your friendship and suggestions;

I also want to thank the following people who have helped me in this site in several ways and in different times (sending contributions, special comments, suggestions, reviews, pictures, etc, etc):

RAUL CASTAÑON, GARY, EDDIE SÖRELL, PATRICE (aka Ptlfort), REESE, KOICHI, XAVIER, DARRELL, ROGER WIEBER, DINO GALDAMEZ, BRIAN YOUNG, THOMAS VELAN, EDUARD, BOBBY, MARTIN GELLER, FERNANDO ZAIKE, FRANK TEUS, CHARLES SHUFFORD, JACKSON .

Thanks to the talented fan mixers who were always so kind giving me permission to post their mixes on the AUDIO page: EMILE (SUMMER2K), ENRIQUE (Q), CARL (CARLYBABES), CATHY (C2K), VICKEN (V16TROLA), PATRICE (PTLFORT), CAVIN (BENTBOY), KEVIN (VISIONMIXER). 

Last, but in no way least, I'd like to thank everyone at the FRIENDS UNKNOWN Gallery, who have believed in the project of a worldwide gallery of Donna fans and were never afraid of sending me pictures of themselves and personal data as well and the over 500 members of the FOREVER DONNA MAILING LIST for their continuing interest in the site.

WEBMASTERING
Building a tribute website to Donna Summer has also unveiled to me an unsuspected interest, that is being an web designer and developer. What started out as a simple hobby has become an important activity for me. Even tough this site remains a work I do totally for free, I'm even more interested in devoting my time to it as professionally as I can. That's another magic Donna has done on me.
