1979 was such a monster year for Donna Summer!!!! Coming off of 1978 where she hit the top 5 with "Last Dance", "Heaven Knows" and her first #1 "MacArthur's Park", Donna entered 1979 with her mega zenith "Bad Girls" LP, with #1 chart toppers "Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls" and #2 hit "Dim All the Lights" . Donna was UNSTOPPABLE from between 1975 - 1980!!!!

[@jacknjill3000]

She also went very religious and was kind of ashamed of the music she had done in the disco era. Many of her gay audience started resenting her and boycotted her music. Partly the gays made her a star by supporting her and felt betrayed. Sorry for the hard real facts, but I was there when it all happened. So it was all great and all fir Donna, but it all sort of stop for her and probably why she stopped making music for a period. Or that the record companies didn’t think she could break her disco image and go into r & b.

Too many hits to mention here, but... Last Dance was the defacto final song of the night at so many clubs. What a discography she has.

[@mickdenis6630]

Donna Summer won the first Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for Hot Stuff. She started her musical journey in the Psychedelic Rock Band Crow as the front woman, before she won the part of Shelia in the Munich Production of Hair (the musical) and moved to Europe. She was also the first Queen of Pop Music , she was dominating the Billboard Charts at the time, and rewriting the record books. She became the first female artist to repeat having the # 1 single and #1 album with Hot Stuff and the album Bad Girls (she would repeat it 3 times in 8 months), she would also be the first female artist to have 2 songs in the top 3 (twice in 4 months), and 2 #1 singles in the top 5, and the top 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

[@thebeardedseeker5633]

that she won the first Grammy award for best female rock vocal cannot be understated. this was during a time when music was extremely segregated. Back then, African-American singers were not encouraged to have a hard rock sound in their music. Donna was having none of that. She did rock, pop, r&b, and country. "Hot Stuff" basically paved the way for Michael Jackson's "Beat It". After that, many African-American artists felt emboldened to experiment beyond r&b and incorporate hard rock into their repertoire without fear of being abandoned by their base or losing radio airplay.

[@kf9346]

Donna was known as "The Queen of Disco!" "I Feel Love," (Donna Summer/Giorgio Moroeder) was one of the key moments in the development of electronic music (leading up to the British electro of the 80s you both love). I think it was the first song to rely on synths that became a club AND a pop chart hit. Every synth artist afterwards, no matter their genre, will cite this song.

[@nathalieplum2137]

"I Feel Love" is indeed a marker in the history of popular music.

[@antjohnson3]

"THE QUEEN" has entered the building. Once you hear MACARTHUR PARK SUITE and I FEEL LOVE you will be FOREVER SUMMERIZED. She is the inspiration behind BEYONCE, MADONNA, KYLIE MINOGUE, RHIANNA, ETC... Effortless vocals, completely effortless.

[@glennsmith8390]

Probably the best disco dance song of all time. You were right-when this came on the dance floor got packed-everyone wanted to dance to this one. It's no wonder she was the Queen of Disco-but this one and She Works Hard for the Money are my two favorites.

[@jamielandis4308]

Y’all really need to hear “MacArthur Park.” No other song of her’s showcases her angelic range. Donna Summer’s voice is an aphrodisiac. She has a song, “Love To Love You Baby” which is the most erotic sounding song I’ve ever heard. Artists like Mikki Minage have to resort to vulgarity and explicit lyrics to even attempt what Donna Summer did with nothing but the sound of her voice. Ooooo…shivers just thinking about it! I place her in the category with Whitney Houston, The Pointer Sisters and Diana Ross.

It was song #1 on her album and "Bad Girls" was #2 and they flowed right into each other since there was no pause between the songs. It was a genius move on Donna's part. "Hot Stuff" was #1 for 4 weeks and "Bad Girls" was #1 for 5 weeks! Also, "Bad Girls" was the #2 song of 1979, and "Hot Stuff" was the #8 song of 1979.

She gained prominence during the disco era of the 1970s and became known as the "Queen of Disco", while her music gained a global following. Summer earned a total of 42 hit singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 in her lifetime, with 14 of those reaching the top ten. She claimed a top-40 hit every year between 1975 and 1984, and from her first top-ten hit in 1976, to the end of 1982, she had 12 top-ten hits (10 were top-five hits), more than any other act during that time period.

The three of them are queens, Barbra is a goddess.

Use to go to the club to dance to Donna Summer!! We would go every weekend to dance at the disco! She was popular then!! It makes me so happy all these years later people your age get to experience her awesomeness!! Keep dancin!!

[@bilahn1198]

Her voice and artistry got better and better as she got older. She continued to sing these songs, and they just got more sleep more amazing

[@monickalynn4365]

Used to roller skate at the rink as a kid listening to Donna Summer. This one's a rock vibe. RIP

For Female Friday, you need to check out En Vogue, FREE YOUR MIND or GIVING HIM SOMETHING HE CAN FEEL!

[@13chigrl]

YES! I have suggested them ♥️

[@CursiMusic]

Loved Donna Summer's voice. I think one of the best vocalists of my time

[@campbellbr]

The Queen of Disco knocked your boys the Bee Gees from the top of the charts with her song. "Last Dance," "Bad Girls," and the epic "MacArthur Park" are awesome songs.

[@allenstark3586]

Donna's 2 for 2 with you guys.If you do 50 more she'll be 50 for 50. She never song a song that wasn't either infectious or heartbreakingly beautiful. The Queen!

[@Meganstoy]

Wouldn't it be 52 for 52?

[@theodoreritola7641]

Hot stuff came out in April 1979 Time to get down lol

[@sharoninglima1217]

Donna ruled the disco era. Adored her! Saw her in concert in NY. ❤❤

[@Tank4Life]

Donna Summer was The Queen! Such a talent! Keep diving into her music!

[@glenrushing5361]

When you go through her discography, you will see that Donna covered many genres. Known as the Queen of Disco, she was one on fire in the 70s and 80s

[@agresticumbra]

My fav of hers is “I Feel Love”, with Giorgio Moroder, but I’m an electronic/ambient/space music gal. When I was a young girl, and analog synths hit the scene, whenever I heard them in popular songs, I’d say, “Wait! I want more of that!” 😆 My second fave of hers is “Love To Love You Baby”.

[@antipodean1233]

Agreed it took me off planet when I listened to it as a kid and started my love of electronic music

[@Deidra74]

Me too!

[@RobbnCO]

yes !!

[@jaemyrick5277]

Yep. Bring on that electronic music, my friend! That was a decade. I grew up in the 70's. To be a teen back then, I met a lot of neighborhood friends. 😊😊😊

[@jaemyrick5277]

Jeeze. When I heard that as a teenager in the 70's, it sounded weird. Donna was making uncomfortable noises. I was very young. I don't think my parents were aware. They didn't question it. OMG! How did "Love to Love You Baby" get on AM & FM radio, back then?

[@magiegainey5036]

❤ Donna Summer She was fabulous! Queen of DIsco!

[@brynw4702]

This is an early 'disco ' hit that had enough hard rock elements to be loved by everybody! It was on every station.

[@alanheath7867]

This was the Second song of hers I heard. The first was Last Dance which she did in the movie “Thank God it’s Friday”. I heard the song, then saw the Movie. She IS as others have said was the Undisputed Queen of Disco!! ❤️❤️

[@kimacronym2521]

This was my second vinyl record when I was 13 years old, a double album if I remember correctly. I also loved "On the Radio" and many others. Funnily produced in Munich, a German album, kind of. Still a staple of pop music !!

[@TheoriginalMach2000]

Donna had like 20 different voices. Best story teller in music ever. She also recorded every track in one take, so she always had that raw sound to it.

[@rasul01]

If you want to hear one of Donna Summer's best, underrated songs with a different voice of hers, listen to 'Denver Dream'.

[@jom7604]

She was Gorgeous and what a incredible voice talent. I loved her growing up 🥰. RIP Donna!

[@888brancher]

Donna Enough said. Disco Queen Supreme. One of my all time fav. female artist. she re-invented herself with SO Many Hits & Great song. ‘Dim All the Lights’ & ‘Love is in Control’ to name a few. A lot of ppl don’t know she was an accomplished artist & her paintings sold for Thousands of pounds. Ty for the post & your reactions\Incite.

[@cpt.kaveman2616]

Jay is right, This was the go to song at roller skating rinks to get everyone on the floor. It just has the right beat & tempo to skate with. Similarly, & believe it or not, "Rock & Roll Fantasy" - Bad Company also got people up & moving too. Although, the Jacksons (Jackson 5 later years) "Shake Your Body" is still the ultimate.

[@jeffking5851]

Many great songs by this incredible singer. 70's and 80"s wouldn't have been the same without her. You should check out the movie Thank God It's Friday, that she appears in.

[@paul8926]

I’ve seen her perform in person…powerful voice, and a very beautiful woman !

[@bluzdude40]

Back in my college days, this was THE hot club song. Packed the floor every time. Still holds up too. A good groove never dies.

[@pal4204]

As people said...she was the "QUEEN OF DISCO"!! Disco just makes you want to dance! Please react to Last Dance! Donna Summer was a treasure to the World!
