....world record for longest note held by a female singer in a hit Pop song, which is held by Donna Summer in “Dim All The Lights”.

Yup. I remember counting it on our jukebox, and “debating” my mom about great singers and who could hold notes. They were big Johnny Mathis fans (so was I - that’s the influence!), but I challenged Mom with just this once how long she held it.

Mom didn’t realize that was the end of actually requiring talent across the board in pop. It’s gotten much worse than she thought back then.
