Starting Over Again - Donna Summer (Live)

Starting Over Again - Donna Summer 'Starting Over Again' was written by Donna Summer and her husband Bruce Sudano. Telling the story of a couple separating after thirty years of marriage, the story was actually based on Sudano's parents' divorce. 'Starting Over Again' was a 1980 U.S. pop and country hit single for Dolly Parton. The song made the U.S. pop top forty and reached #1 on the U.S. country charts on May 24 1980. The song has also been covered by country star Reba McEntire. Despite having co-written the song, Donna Summer never recorded it herself, though she did perform it live numerous time on television specials during the 1980s.

Donna and her husband did an amazing songwriting job on this song. It helped solidify Dolly Parton's pop crossover recording success in 1980. Donna should have recorded it as a single as well.

Where is Donna Summer's studio version?

Why using such a medieval language ("king's horses") when set in 1979-1980 USA. I know it's just an old phrase, but why not:

"And all the president's tanks, and all the president's aeroplanes

Could never put mummy and daddy back together again"
