However, Summer's <br /> notable songwriting capabilities, in addition to her collaborations with <br /> producer-songwriters Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, were able to set her <br /> apart from rivals in the industry.<br /> <br /> Though she is most notable for her disco hits, Summer's repertoire has <br /> expanded to include contemporary R&amp;B, rock, mainstream pop, and even <br /> gospel. Summer is one of the most successful female recording artists of the <br /> 1970s and 1980s, and still holds the record for having three consecutive <br /> double albums hit #1 on the Billboard charts. She also became the first female <br /> artist to have four number-one singles in a twelve-month period. According to <br /> her official MySpace page, Summer has sold over 130 million records <br /> worldwide <br /> <br /> Born in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, she was one <br /> of seven children raised by devout Christian parents. She sang in church, and <br /> in her teens joined a funk group called The Crow, so named because Donna <br /> was the only black member of the group. At eighteen, Gaines left home and <br /> school to take up a supporting role in the Broadway musical, Hair. <br /> Unsuccessful in getting a the part in the Broadway show (Melba Moore got <br /> the role), she was offered the European Tour when the show moved to <br /> Germany, where Summer also performed in the German versions of several <br /> musicals including Godspell and Show Boat. She settled in Munich and also <br /> performed with the Viennese Folk Opera and the pop band Munich Machine.<br /> <br /> In 1971, Gaines released a single in Europe entitled &quot;Sally Go 'Round The <br /> Roses&quot;, her first solo recording. The single was unsuccessful, however, and <br /> she had to wait until 1974 to launch a solo career. Gaines married Austrian <br /> actor Helmuth Sommer (&quot;Summer&quot; is an Anglicization of his last name) in 1972 <br /> and gave birth to daughter Mimi the following year. Summer did various <br /> musical jobs in studios and theaters for several years, including the pop <br /> group FamilyTree from 1974-75<br /> <br /> Early success and notoriety<br /> While singing back-up for groups such as Three Dog Night, she met producers <br /> Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. With these producers, Summer signed a <br /> contract in the Netherlands and issued her first album, Lady of the Night, <br /> which included the European hit, &quot;The Hostage&quot;. The single made #1 in <br /> France and Belgium, and #2 in the Netherlands. Its follow-up, the title track <br /> of the album, also gained some degree of European success.<br /> <br /> In the summer of 1975, Summer approached Moroder and Bellotte with an <br /> idea for a song. She had come up with the lyric &quot;Love to love you, baby&quot; as <br /> the possible title for the song. Moroder was interested in developing the new <br /> disco sound that was becoming increasingly popular, and used Summer's lyric <br /> to develop the song into a disco track. He had the idea that she should moan <br /> and groan orgasmically, but Summer was reticent. Eventually she agreed to <br /> record the song as a demo. She has stated that she was not completely sure <br /> of some of the lyrics, and parts of the song were improvised during the <br /> recording. Donna later stated on a VH-1 &quot;Behind The Music&quot; program that she <br /> pictured herself as Marilyn Monroe acting out the part of someone in sexual <br /> ecstasy). Moroder was so astounded with Summer's orgasmic vocals that he <br /> insisted she release the single herself. The song, titled &quot;Love to Love You&quot;, <br /> was released to modest success in Europe. When it reached America and the <br /> hands of Casablanca president Neil Bogart, however, he was so ecstatic over <br /> the demo that he asked Moroder to produce a twenty-minute version of the <br /> song. Summer, Moroder and producer Pete Bellotte cut a seventeen-minute <br /> version, renamed it &quot;Love To Love You Baby&quot;, and Casablanca signed <br /> Summer and issued it as a single in November 1975. Casablanca distributed <br /> Summer's work in the US while other labels distributed it in different nations <br /> during this period.<br /> <br /> &quot;Love To Love You Baby&quot; was Summer's first big hit in America, reaching #2 <br /> on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in early 1976 and becoming her first <br /> Number-One Hot Dance Club Play chart hit. The album (side one of which was <br /> completely taken up with the full-length version of the title track) was also <br /> released in late 1975 and was soon certified Gold for sales of over 500,000 <br /> US copies. The song was branded &quot;graphic&quot; by some music critics and was <br /> even banned by some radio stations for its explicit content. Time magazine <br /> reported that 22 orgasms were simulated in the making of the song, and <br /> some of the music press dubbed Summer &quot;the first lady of love.&quot; Two <br /> successful, Gold-selling concept albums followed: A Love Trilogy which <br /> featured the single &quot;Could It Be Magic&quot; and Four Seasons Of Love which <br /> featured the uptempo &quot;Spring Affair&quot; as well as the ballad &quot;Winter Melody&quot; <br /> which was a top 30 hit in the UK - the first of Donna's singles to be aired on <br /> Radio 1 and a hit on the US R&amp;B charts.<br /> <br /> The 1977 album I Remember Yesterday, another concept album, found the <br /> Summer/Moroder/Bellotte team combining the Disco sound with musical <br /> elements of the past, present and future. The song representing the future, <br /> &quot;I Feel Love&quot; became a landmark recording, giving Donna another Pop and <br /> R&amp;B hit reaching #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number one in <br /> the UK. &quot;I Feel Love&quot; earned her a second US Gold Single as well. The song's <br /> use of raw techno and electronic sounds was revolutionary and popularized <br /> synthesizers in dance, rock, and the burgeoning new wave.<br /> <br /> Summer released another album in 1977, Once Upon A Time, a concept album <br /> telling a modern-day Cinderella &quot;rags to riches&quot; story through the means of <br /> electronic disco.<br /> <br /> <br /> Continued success in music<br /> In 1978 Summer acted in the film Thank God It's Friday and released the <br /> single &quot;Last Dance&quot; which became her third US million-selling single. Written by <br /> the late Paul Jabara &mdash; who also co-wrote &quot;It's Raining Men&quot;, &quot;The Main Event <br /> (Fight)&quot; and &quot;No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)&quot; &mdash; the song became <br /> another major hit for Summer, reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and <br /> resulting in her first Grammy win. Jabara took home the Oscar after the song <br /> was nominated for Song Of The Year. Summer also recorded a side-long <br /> version of Serge Gainsbourg's &quot;Je T'Aime (Moi Non Plus)&quot; which was very <br /> similar in style to &quot;Love to Love You, Baby&quot;, initially shelved and later released <br /> as a part of the Thank God It's Friday soundtrack.<br /> <br /> That same year, Donna released her first live album, Live and More. It <br /> knocked Linda Ronstadt's triple Platinum 'Living In The USA' out of the #1 <br /> position on Billboard's Album Chart. This was Summer's first #1 album as well <br /> as her first to reach the million-selling Platinum mark. It included her first #1 <br /> American Pop single, a cover of the Jimmy Webb-penned &quot;MacArthur Park&quot; - <br /> another Gold-certified US 45 - originally made famous by the late actor/singer <br /> Richard Harris. The studio part of the album included the tracks &quot;One Of A <br /> Kind&quot; and &quot;Heaven Knows&quot; which also featured vocals by Joe &quot;Bean&quot; Esposito <br /> of the Brooklyn Dreams (group member Bruce Sudano would later become <br /> romantically involved with Summer). &quot;Heaven Knows&quot; became another Gold <br /> US Record and another Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.<br /> <br /> Summer was also a guest artist on Kiss bassist Gene Simmons's 1978 <br /> eponymous solo album.<br /> <br /> <br /> Bad Girls and the break from disco<br /> In 1979, Summer released the landmark double-album Bad Girls. Unusual for a <br /> disco album, it mixed Rock, Funk, Blues and Soul into electronic beats. It <br /> yielded three consecutive million-selling singles: the back-to-back #1 hits &quot;Hot <br /> Stuff&quot; and &quot;Bad Girls&quot;, and the #2 hit &quot;Dim All The Lights&quot;. &quot;Bad Girls&quot; also <br /> became Summer's first #1 song on Billboard's R&amp;B singles chart. With US <br /> record sales at an all-time apex in 1979, Summer had a straight run of five US <br /> Gold singles (three of which went on to Platinum status) that year alone. &quot;Hot <br /> Stuff&quot; won Summer a second Grammy, for Best Female Rock Vocal <br /> Performance. (Interestingly, the Grammies had a Best Disco Recording Award <br /> only once, in 1980, won by Gloria Gaynor for her I Will Survive single.) Bad <br /> Girls became Summer's second #1 album and the most successful album of <br /> her entire career - going Multi-Platinum in the US. Summer and Bruce Sudano <br /> grew closer during the making of this album and became engaged. During this <br /> period, Summer had two songs in the top three of Billboard's Hot 100 during <br /> the same week, with &quot;Bad Girls&quot; and &quot;Hot Stuff&quot;. Just a few months later, she <br /> accomplished the same feat again, with &quot;No More Tears&quot; and &quot;Dim All the <br /> Lights&quot;. During the summer of 1979, she played eight sold-out nights at the <br /> Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles.<br /> <br /> Summer's first compilation album, On The Radio: Greatest Hits Volumes 1 &amp; 2, <br /> was a global smash and her third straight #1 US album - also going multi-<br /> platinum. With this, Summer became the first artist to have three consecutive <br /> number-one double-albums. The album also contained two new tracks - &quot;No <br /> More Tears (Enough Is Enough)&quot;, a Platinum-selling #1 duet with Barbra <br /> Streisand, and the Grammy-nominated Top Five Gold hit &quot;On the Radio&quot;, a <br /> song written for the film Foxes. The Streisand-Summer duet was her fourth <br /> and final #1 Pop hit in the U.S - and her fourth #1 single in 12 months. <br /> Afterwards, disagreements between Summer and Casablanca Records led to <br /> her exit from the label in 1980. Summer was given a lucrative offer by David <br /> Geffen and became the first artist to be signed to his new Geffen label in <br /> 1980.<br /> <br /> <br /> The Wanderer and She Works Hard for the Money<br /> Summer's first Geffen release, 1980's The Wanderer, was something of a <br /> departure, in some ways closer to a rock/new wave affair. The title track, <br /> and accompanying singles &quot;Cold Love&quot; and &quot;Who Do You Think You're Foolin'?&quot; <br /> saw Summer attempting to reach the same audience dominated by <br /> contemporaries like Blondie and Pat Benatar. The title track was another <br /> million-selling hit, reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning her yet <br /> another Gold single in the States. The album peaked at #13 on the US album <br /> charts and earned a Gold album certification in the US. Her next album, I'm a <br /> Rainbow, a new wave - oriented double album which also featured elements <br /> of Soul, R&amp;B, period British techno-pop and even synth-based Disco, was <br /> shelved by Geffen (although two of the tracks would surface during the <br /> 1980s on the Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Flashdance film <br /> soundtracks). Reluctantly, Summer left Moroder after seven years of <br /> collaboration, and began work with Quincy Jones.<br /> <br /> In 1982 Geffen released the Gold-certified, self-titled Donna Summer, and <br /> the new production from Quincy Jones was again in the Top 10 of the Pop, <br /> R&amp;B, and Dance charts with the Grammy-nominated &quot;Love Is In Control <br /> (Finger On The Trigger)&quot;. A second single, &quot;State of Independence&quot;, on which <br /> Michael Jackson sang background along with a veritable &quot;who's who&quot; of the <br /> music world, became a sizable international hit but a minor hit in the US. One <br /> more single from the album followed, &quot;The Woman In Me&quot;, later recorded by <br /> Ann Wilson &amp; Nancy Wilson of the rock group Heart. It peaked at #33 on the <br /> Hot 100 and #30 on the R&amp;B chart.<br /> <br /> In 1983 Summer scored her biggest triumph since Bad Girls with the release of <br /> the album, She Works Hard for the Money. The title track became one of her <br /> most played songs. The Grammy-nominated hit also became a pro-feminist <br /> anthem and was a staple on MTV, making her the first black woman to have a <br /> video air in heavy rotation on the channel. The single was also Summer's <br /> biggest-ever R&amp;B hit (#1 for three weeks) and had frequent play on BET. It <br /> was released on PolyGram's Mercury Records to settle a legal dispute <br /> following PolyGram's absorption of Casablanca. It was Summer's 6th LP in a <br /> row to feature a Billboard Top Ten Hit. A second single from the She Works <br /> Hard For The Money album, the reggae-flavored &quot;Unconditional Love&quot; <br /> featured vocals by British band Musical Youth and outsold the first single in <br /> the UK, but stopped short of the US Top 40.<br /> <br /> Her subsequent Geffen releases did not fare as well. 1984's Cats Without <br /> Claws peaked at #40 on Billboard's Album Chart while 1987's All Systems Go <br /> stalled at #122 on the chart with no major hits. The first single, Dinner with <br /> Gershwin was a sizable international hit as well as being a Top Ten US R&amp;B <br /> hit. However, it was not enough to heal the difficult relationship with David <br /> Geffen. Summer left Geffen Records in 1988 to sign with Atlantic Records <br /> when he refused to release her next LP; ironically, it would become another <br /> hit release.<br /> <br /> In the early 80's rumors began circulating that Donna had allegedly made <br /> anti-gay comments regarding the AIDS epidemic as punishment for <br /> homosexuality. Summer denied making such remarks, and finally filed a <br /> lawsuit against New York magazine for its reporting of the rumors in a concert <br /> review. According to an A&amp;E Biography program which Donna participated, <br /> the lawsuit was settled out of court with neither side admitting guilt. Summer <br /> denies making them.<br /> <br /> <br /> Later career<br /> Summer briefly regained her hit luster again in 1989 with Another Place and <br /> Time, an album-length collaboration with British top dance-pop songwriting <br /> and production team Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman known as <br /> Stock Aitken Waterman. &quot;This Time I Know It's For Real&quot; became Summer's <br /> fourteenth Top 10 Billboard Pop hit in the US and returned to her to Gold-<br /> single status. It was also a huge success on Adult Contemporary radio, <br /> holding at #2 for four weeks. Another track, &quot;I Don't Wanna Get Hurt&quot;, was a <br /> Top Ten UK hit. The follow-up US single, &quot;Love's About To Change My Heart&quot;, <br /> became a Dance chart hit but stalled at #85 on the Pop chart. In 1991, she <br /> released the album Mistaken Identity, which incorporated New Jack Swing <br /> and Urban Contemporary into her music. The album was not a success and <br /> sold less than 50,000 copies, failing to even appear on the Billboard Album <br /> Chart (it barely scraped into the R&amp;B Albums chart at #97). Summer scored a <br /> top twenty R&amp;B hit with &quot;When Love Cries&quot; but her days of mainstream <br /> success in the United States seemed behind her. However, the following <br /> year, Summer received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The year also <br /> saw her collaborate with Giorgio Moroder for the first time in over a decade <br /> with the song &quot;Carry On&quot;. First featured on his Forever Dancing album, the <br /> following year the track would be featured on the double album The Donna <br /> Summer Anthology. This compilation also featured two exclusive remixes from <br /> the unreleased I'm a Rainbow album recorded back in 1981.<br /> <br /> A gospel-influenced Christmas album entitled Christmas Spirit in 1994 became <br /> Summer's first full-length album in over three years, and a new compilation <br /> entitled Endless Summer (both released by PolyGram) also contained new <br /> tracks, including &quot;Melody of Love (Wanna Be Loved)&quot;, which became the <br /> year's # 1 Billboard hit on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.<br /> <br /> In 1995, a re-release of &quot;I Feel Love&quot; (with newly recorded vocals) as a <br /> dance remix, became a hit again in the UK, reaching #8 there. The following <br /> year she would score another Top 20 there with a new remix of &quot;State of <br /> Independence&quot;. In 1996, Summer's album I'm a Rainbow was finally released <br /> by Polygram's Mercury Records after a 15 year delay.<br /> <br /> In 1994 and 1997 she played the role of &quot;Aunt Oona from Altoona&quot; on Family <br /> Matters. She also sang &quot;Last Dance&quot; in Oona's first episode.<br /> <br /> In 1995, she also participated in the Edith Piaf: Tribute album, with her cover <br /> for the song&quot;La Vie En Rose&quot;.<br /> <br /> 1996 saw Donna collaborating in several others artists' projects:<br /> <br /> &quot;Does He Love You?&quot; duet with Liza Minnelli for Liza's album Gently; <br /> &quot;Whenever There Is Love&quot; duet with Bruce Roberts for the Daylight OST <br /> (recording also a version in Spanish); &quot;From A Distance&quot; with Nanci Griffith <br /> And Raul Malo for the &quot;One Voice&quot; project; and &quot;Someday&quot; for the CD Mouse <br /> House Remixes (Song From Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame OST).<br /> <br /> In 1998, Summer was the first artist to receive a Grammy award for Best <br /> Dance Recording for her 1992 collaboration with Giorgio Moroder, &quot;Carry On&quot;, <br /> after the song was remixed and released as a single. In 1999, Summer <br /> starred in a televised live concert on the VH1 network entitled Donna Summer <br /> - Live and More Encore. The special earned the network their highest ratings <br /> of the year, second only to their annual Divas concert. Performing a string of <br /> her classics and new singles, she also sang &quot;Dim All the Lights&quot; as a tribute to <br /> Rod Stewart. Summer acknowledges that she wrote the song for Stewart but <br /> recorded it herself. She also performed an updated version of &quot;No More <br /> Tears&quot; with Australian pop diva Tina Arena. A live CD of the special (on the <br /> Epic label) and DVD of the special were released, returning the singer back to <br /> the U.S. albums chart, selling close to half a million copies in the USA. Summer <br /> scored two # 1 dance hits that year with &quot;I Will Go with You (Con te partir&ograve;)&quot; <br /> and &quot;Love Is the Healer&quot; (both found as new studio tracks on the live album). <br /> She also collaborated with the song &quot;My Prayer For You&quot; in the project Sing <br /> Me To Sleep, Mommy. During that year, Summer recorded the theme song for <br /> Pok&eacute;mon: The Movie 2000, entitled &quot;The Power of One&quot;. Around this time, <br /> Summer also recorded the song &quot;Dreamcatcher&quot; for the Naturally Native <br /> Original Soundtrack. In 2000, she continued collaborating with other artists in <br /> different albums: for the project Child of the Promise she delivered &quot;When <br /> the Dream Never Dies&quot; and the duet with Crystal Lewis, &quot;I Cannot Be Silent&quot;. <br /> For The Mercy Project album, she recorded the song &quot;Take Heart&quot; and for <br /> Darwin Hobbs' Vertical CD, she duetted &quot;When I Look Up&quot;.<br /> <br /> <br /> In 2003, a greatest-hits compilation called The Journey was released, which <br /> reached the UK Top 10 in the following year. Here she included new tracks <br /> like &quot;That's The Way&quot;, &quot;Dream A Lots Theme (I Will Live For Love)&quot; and also a <br /> new track &quot;You're So Beautiful&quot; in a remixed version.<br /> <br /> On September 20, 2004, Summer was among the first artists to be inducted <br /> into the newly formed Dance Music Hall of Fame in New York City. She was <br /> inducted in two categories, Artist Inductees, alongside fellow disco legends <br /> The Bee Gees and Barry White; and Record Inductees, for her classic hit &quot;I <br /> Feel Love&quot;. Summer added to her achievements in October 2004 when she <br /> performed &quot;God Bless America&quot; during the seventh-inning stretch at Game 2 <br /> of the 2004 World Series at Boston's Fenway Park.<br /> <br /> <br /> Crayons<br /> In May of 2008, Summer released her first album of new material in 17 years, <br /> Crayons, on Sony BMG imprint Burgundy Records. Remixes of the track &quot;I'm A <br /> Fire&quot; reached #1 on the U.S. Dance Chart.<br /> <br /> The first official single, &quot;Stamp Your Feet&quot;, was released in April, 2008. <br /> Crayons debuted at a lofty #17, making this her all-time highest debut on the <br /> US Album Chart and her highest charting album since She Works Hard For The <br /> Money reached #9 twenty-five years earlier.<br /> <br /> Summer is the first artist ever to have a #1 Billboard Dance hit in each of the <br /> past four decades. &quot;I'm A Fire&quot; and &quot;Stamp Your Feet&quot; are Donna Summer's <br /> 19th and 20th #1 Billboard singles of her career and her 28th and 29th Top <br /> Ten Billboard singles. <br /> <br /> <br /> Awards and recognition<br /> Summer is the recipient of five Grammy Awards. <br /> Summer placed a top forty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in every year from <br /> 1976 (&quot;Love To Love You Baby&quot;) to 1984 (&quot;There Goes My Baby&quot;). <br /> Summer is the first female artist to have four #1 singles in a 12-month period, <br /> and the first female artist to have five Billboard Hot 100 Top Ten hits in a <br /> calendar year. <br /> Summer became the first and only artist to score three consecutive number-<br /> one double albums, and to have three number-one pop singles in the same <br /> year. <br /> Summer is the first artist to have two singles in the top three slots of the <br /> Billboard Hot 100 at the same time, and accomplished this feat twice. <br /> Summer was twice honored by the Dance Music Hall of Fame; once with her <br /> induction as a recording artist and again with the induction for her influential <br /> single &quot;I Feel Love&quot;.<br /> Summer's music career has landed her as the eighth most successful female <br /> recording artist in history according to Billboard. <br /> Summer's career span of Billboard #1 Disco/Club Play hits spans from 1975's <br /> &quot;Love to Love You Baby&quot; through 2008's &quot;Stamp Your Feet&quot;. <br /> <br /> [edit] Cover versions by other artists<br /> Summer's recording of &quot;I Feel Love&quot; is one of the most sampled recordings in <br /> music history. The song has been sampled by Madonna, Whitney Houston, <br /> Bette Midler, Diana Ross, Moloko, Britney Spears, Robbie Williams, Mylo, <br /> David Guetta, Stuart Price, Moby and many more. &quot;I Feel Love&quot; was recorded <br /> by classical pop musician Vanessa-Mae for her 1998 album Storm.<br /> <br /> Summer's &quot;Love to Love You Baby&quot; was also sampled by Beyonce Knowles. <br /> &quot;I Feel Love&quot; has been covered onstage by Madonna, the Red Hot Chili <br /> Peppers' John Frusciante, Kylie Minogue, Blondie, Basement Jaxx, and <br /> Finnish progressive rock band Kingston Wall. Venus Hum with Blue Man Group <br /> also performed this song with Japanese singer Koda Kumi for their album The <br /> Complex, and in 2006, Tracy Bonham stood in for Hum on the Blue Man Group <br /> tour, performing the song. Bronski Beat and Marc Almond released the track <br /> as a duet with an added bridge section and titled it &quot;I Feel Love/Johnny <br /> Remember Me&quot;, reaching number 3 in the UK charts in April 1985. In 1992 <br /> U.K. alterna-pop group Curve recorded a version for the NME's 40th <br /> anniversary compilation Ruby Trax, which became an instant underground <br /> classic. Madonna's production team sampled this for her 2006 Confessions <br /> Tour and album, Confessions On A Dance Floor. &quot;Future Lovers&quot; contains a <br /> sample of &quot;I Feel Love&quot;. <br /> Summer's &quot;Starting Over Again&quot; was a number one hit on the Hot Country <br /> Songs chart for Dolly Parton in 1980.
