As reported here, Jennifer Hudson and Christina Aguilera were two of the stars tapped to honor Queen of Disco Donna Summer at this year’s annual ‘Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’ induction ceremony.

Much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ segments, readers of That Grape Juice know what avid music lovers we are – especially of hits past.  So in a quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday we introduced a new retrospective segment – ‘TGJ Replay’.

Does Beyonce have classic material? 

Though the answer to that question will be obvious to her supporters, it isn’t easy so clear for any who aren’t as in tune with her career as they are.

So, in reminding the world of the classic jams that dominated airwaves well before nabbing all 17 of her Grammys, the ‘Creole’ gem served a killer performance of B’Day‘s ‘Freakdum Dress‘ on her latest world tour.
