The Queen of Disco!
Donna got her first break as a performer in the musical Hair, although she had to move to Munich, Germany to hold down the contract.
In Germany, she met songwriters and producers who worked with her to release Love To Love You Baby (1975) and I Feel Love (1977), the latter becoming legendary for laying the foundations for electronic dance music as it featured only synths.
In 1979, Donna released Hot Stuff, another big hit for the American singer and her Italian producer/writer Giorgio Moroder who wrote most of Donna’s big hits.
Donna was crowned the Queen of Disco, and Giorgio got his nickname the Father of Disco thanks to their late 70s hit parade.
Donna Summer’s biggest tunes include On The Radio, Bad Girls, She Works Hard For The Money, as well as the aforementioned Love To Love You Baby, I Feel Love, and the hilarious Hot Stuff.
Donna Summer sold 100 million records.
