Donna Summer (born LaDonna Adrian Gaines December 31, 1948) [1] is an American singer-songwriter and musician who gained prominence during the disco era of music.

Summer was trained as a gospel singer prior to her introduction in the music industry, as were many then-contemporary music artists. However, Summer's notable songwriting capabilities, in addition to her collaborations with producer-songwriters Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, were able to set her apart from rivals in the industry.

Though she is most notable for her disco hits, Summer's repertoire has expanded to include contemporary R&B, rock, mainstream pop, and even gospel. Summer is one of the most successful female recording artists of the 1970s and 1980s, and holds the record for having three consecutive double albums hit #1 on the Billboard charts. She also became the first female artist to have four number-one singles in a twelve-month period. Summer has sold over 130 million records worldwide

Nice bunch of vids. I like her well enought that I bought a cd a few yrs ago.
I didn't buy her last album, Crayons, which was released this year. I found it floating in cyberspace. She still sounds great.

I think disco was fantastic, some of the best records ever produced. It is a shame how disco bands and artists have tried to disassociate themselves from the music that made their careers. Donna is the Queen of Disco and should be proud of it!

Donna should make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next time.

I agree. Lots of hits. She had an album out recently -- not bad, either
