"She changed the face of pop music forever" - David Foster. Donna Summer does not get enough credit for who she really was in music. She gets dismissed as the "disco queen", which she was - queen of the genre. But she was also and more importantly Pop Music's first female mega star, selling millions worldwide and pushing the barriers by crossing into multiple genres. She was the first female and the first black artist to take 3 albums to the top of the Billboard 200 charts back to back. That accomplishment usually gets reduced to she was the first artist to have 3 #1 double albums (they just happened to be multi-platinum selling double albums). She was the first female artist to repeat having the #1 single and the #1 album simultaneously, on the Billboard pop charts (Hot 100 (singles)/ Hot 200 (albums), 3 times in 8 months. She was the first female to have 2 singles in the top 3, at the same time (twice in 4 months). The first to have 2 #1 singles, in the top 5, and the top 3 on the Hot 100 charts. The first female to sit on top of 3 major Billboard charts at the same time (Hot 100, Hot 200, & R & B singles). She was the first artist to score 3 #1 singles and 5 top 10, and/or 5 top 5 singles in a calendar year (79). She scored 9 consecutive top 5 singles from August 78 -October 80, all selling a million copies or better (a physical sales record). She sold over 20 million albums and over 15 million singles with Casablanca Records in the US Market at the end of the 70s (10 gold singles (1million) 2 platinum singles (2 million), the first gold maxi-single). She was the most commercially successful female artist of the 70s worldwide, and was top 10 artist on the worldwide pop charts for 4 consecutive years (76,77,78,79). She was first black female artist played in heavy rotation on MTV (1983), and set a precedent of having 3 consecutive videos played in HR. Not surpassed until Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation album in 1989. She is only artist to be nominated for a Grammy in 5 different genres (at least 3 times each), and the only artist to win a Grammy in 4 different genres (R & B, Rock, Gospel, Dance). Named the "Diva De Tutti Dive", the first true diva of the modern pop era by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Lenny Kravitz, Mary J Blige and Stevie Wonder have referred to her, as the game changer.

[@AdrianChristian]

I so appreciate you making this known right here. Thank you.

[@AdrianChristian]

She was also one of the very few artists to make that leap from Disco to 80's music successfully and she went well into the 90's and beyond.

[@stacymoore9836]

I don’t think she got enough recognition either

[@kathdavies1220]

👍❤❤❤❤

[@itsmedino]

Thanks for writing all this information. I knew she was awesome but had no idea how awesome. Really bothered me how little fanfare was given when she passed away. RIP Goddess.

[@jedislap8726]

This song could have been released anytime in the last 30 years and STILL been an absolute club banger.

[@Iskandar64]

It still is, you play that today at a club and you will fill the dance floor.

[@NativeNorthFloridaCracker]

Absolutely loved the undisputed QUEEN of disco, Donna Summer. She has so many great hits throughout the 70s. RIP...

[@davidknichal6629]

and spoke fluently German....ve always loved her

[@robertobrien5709]

According to singer David Bowie, who was then recording his Berlin Trilogy, his collaborator Brian Eno "came running in" and told him he had heard "the sound of the future". According to Bowie, Eno predicted that the song would change the sound of club music for the next fifteen years, which "was more or less right".

Remember guys, they didn't make that sound with computers back then. That guy on the keyboards had to play on the same beat throughout the whole song without missing a single note. There was real musicianship back in the days.

[@drycanyon]

This was a monster hit, on the radio all the time.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

What a voice. Defined her era

[@_blueskies]

You never heard of Donna Summer????! The Queen of Disco! Oh, sweet lord. Last Dance and Bad Girls should be the next songs!!

[@johnnyborealis]

Ground breaking stuff for the time.....even more risque was "Love to Love You, Baby". Even without the electronics, Donna's voice was spectacular. What a great singer....

[@LA_HA]

True, but the Moog synthesizer makes the music futuristic, which elevates it for me. But, maybe that's because it's the re-emergence of the huge interest in The Future. I think this was due to the extreme popularity of the newly released Star Wars and, of course, Star Trek on TV; and then all the space-themed movies that came out afterwards. At least, that's what my older relatives told me in introducing me to a lot of their favorite songs from this era. Think ELO, also 1977, I think. haha

[@vincerussell6893]

Big Hit, during "The Disco Days", just imagine lighted dance floor, strobe lights, loud bumping music! I miss those days! Donna Summers was huge, started her career in Germany, was very sad to learn of her passing... R.I.P.

[@mikaelpeltonen96]

The instrument was Moog synthesizer, hottest thing around in the late 70s. This was one of the first electronic dance songs.

[@nenelles-dancelikenobodysw8511]

It was such a trip dancing to this on the disco floor filled with dry ice smoke and you couldn't see the people around you. Hint of lights twirling and flashing!!! Trippy.

[@erikhamilton6182]

There’s a long version of this song. Truly amazing.

[@TheDivayenta]

Gorgeous woman, gorgeous voice! She was a Goddess. I used to be a disco dance instructor- you’re doing footwork on all the 1-2 beats- you’re really moving!

[@kimberlycross9621]

An even bigger spell by Donna is the long version of "Love to Love You Baby"

[@jzander2966]

Donna was known as the Queen of Disco although she did more than just that type of music. She was definitely a top hitmaker in the 70s and 80s and has lots of music for you guys to discover. One of her earliest hits was also a controversial one because it was very provocative.........you will have to listen to it to know what I mean. It's called 'Love to Love You, Baby.' Look for a longer version of it cuz the shorter ones made for radio cut out the parts that made it controversial.....lol! She was my favorite artist when I was a young teenager.

[@michellehubbard7865]

Mine too,she's one of many , that got me to love disco music and dancing , I never turned my radio off back then. I lived at the roller skating , rink,as a kid,, go roller skating to this.l disco will never die,love from a small town in Virginia

The Queen of disco. Try her singing "Love To Love You Baby", "Last Dance", "On The Radio", "Bad Girls", "Dim All The Lights", "Heaven Knows" and maybe about 20 more great cuts. Disco, the music of love and inclusion. We miss you Queen.

[@timl.1184]

I'm a metalhead from the '80s and still bought a Best of Donna Summer CD and love it.

[@minigirl6379]

This lady was so talented and way underrated back in the day. She sang all kinds of music before going out on her own and becoming the Disco Queen. She toured with several famous Rock bands, as well as doing studio work for just about every genre. She was so beautiful. "Hot Stuff" was my favorite song of Donna's, but all of them were really good. 👌

[@LA_HA]

Spring Affair

[@YesThatNeal]

The Queen of Disco! One of the best female music artists ever. 42 hit singles, 130M records sold and 5 Grammys.

[@johnwalters978]

She did an album in the 70's called "I remember yesterday". where she imagined what Disco would sound like in the 1940's, 50's 60's and this was her futuristic version of what disco would sound like in the future, pretty spot on.

[@tracycartwright3340]

Donna Summer is an amazing singer and she has a lot of hits to choose from. You definitely should go down this rabbit hole. Check her out with Barbra Streisand singgin Enough is Enough. You'll love it! 10!!

[@catschorus4684]

Possibly one of the most influential records ever made.

[@kij100]

This song transcends disco, I've heard it in house and Techno and everyone loves it. Donna's vocals with Giorgio's production was a moment of perfection.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Donna Summer was a superstar in the 70's disco era. She had one major hit in the 80's - "She works hard for the money"🔥 She released quite a few albums, but couldn't quite get away from the 'disco' tag... Sadly, Donna Summer passed away from cancer a while ago...😪 her daughter is a singer today. Donna Summer - 'Hot stuff' ... 'MacArthur Park' ... 'Bad girls' ⚡🔥

[@zanna90]

This time it's for real... went to #7 so not her only smach hit in the 80s. She had a few more

[@allenstark3586]

Not true she had a major h in 1989

[@MrJuly1990ish]

She still had hit songs by the year 1980 or in the early 80s. For example even though both songs "Enough is "Enough" (with Barbra Streisand) and "On the Radio" was recorded in late 1979, still hit the top 10 charts in February 1980. Also, her follow-up album or single was release in October of 1980 called "The Wanderer" was a top ten hit. She had a top ten R&B hit single in 1982 called "Love Is In Control" produced by Quincy Jones.

[@JC-es5un]

She is the true queen of disco, pure 🔥

[@denisetinto1828]

I went to a disco in Acapulco in the 70's and she was queen among the locals. She has more hits. Her voice is compelling as well as her moves, but that can sometimes be missed. Cheers from Canada

[@voxandlocks]

I don't know if y'all can appreciate how ahead of its time this track was in spring of '77 when it came out. Nothing ever sounded like this before, and a lot of music has been influenced by it since.

Everyone was on the dance floor when they played Donna Summer. It was nothing to dance 20-30 minutes straight, till you couldn’t go no more. I was a 17 when this came out❤

[@jasonfrodoman1316]

What's amazing is that the guy played the keys on beat for that length of time. That was live. No screw up allowed.

[@danosverige]

These days they call it a "loop"... and are pretty proud of them! 🤦‍♂️

This was groundbreaking when it came out,this was probably the beginning of electronic music but if you want to hear Donna check out Mcarther park,hot stuff or on the radio! Love to love you baby is great also but the long version!

Please give Donna Summer another shot , play her song "she works hard for the money" . Thanks Shawn & Mel y'all are doing great with y'all channel . LUV Y'ALL

[@colibri1]

I'll just add to what people have already said: Donna had hit after hit on the charts from the mid-seventies through the end of the decade, in both the US and Europe. This is my favorite of hers, but her first hit in the US was the even-sexier-than-this "Love to Love You" from 1975. She also had success with some great covers, including Barry Manilow's "Could It Be Magic?" (1976) and Jimmy Webb/Richard Harris's "MacArthur Park" (1978). There is live footage of her performing "MacArthur Park" that y'all have got to see and hear. Her voice is incredible. So much more from her, but those are a good start.

I was a traveling salesman back in the 70s when this song came out. I remember listening to her on the radio as I drove down the highway. Lot of good memories. One of my favorite singers.

[@andreadeamon6419]

From my understanding she was caught in the rubble from the trade center collapsing and ended up with lung cancer. May she rest in peace. (Look up the family matters episodes that she's in. She was such a joy

Donna Summers the Queen of Disco and sensuality.... Wait until you hear, "Love to Love you baby".

[@13dma1rz]

Love seeing your enthusiastic reactions. Disco used a lot of synth. Robert Moog developed the first useful synthesizer in the 1960s and it really took off. Of course Donna Summer cannot be duplicated.

[@wm8498]

Yay! You finally reacted to Donna! She was an AMAZING singer a force to recon with in the 70's, early 80's. She was a trail blazer for female artists that followed and broke barriers due to her music and accomplishments. This song was inducted into the National Recording Registry due to it's huge influence in dance music and is still sampled in some of today's music. Donna could sing just about any genre of music and VERY underrated as an artist/singer. She could go from soft and sexy to hard and strong which you can hear in other songs....MacArthur Park, Hot Stuff, Bad Girls, No More Tears, On the Radio, She Works Hard for the Money and on and on. Thanks so much for the reaction!

[@lobo667-z1e]

I hope they do a movie or documentary 🙏 about her because she was truly fabulous.

[@maureenwagg5305]

Damn! It's been a minute since I heard this. I'm 59, so I know Donna well. Still get chills from this song. She was the Disco queen.

[@cruzth]

She was labeled the Queen of Disco but she is also recognized as the Godmother of EDM. She was brilliant and loved experimenting with sounds and other genres. Her voice was truly underrated but her voice grew better and stronger as years went by. Now you know why she was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. She influenced many. You should react to her last performance on stage with David Foster, her voice was sublime even tho she was fighting cancer, she passed away a month after. Voice was perfect and she looked amazing. I had the privilege to see her live and it was incredible . RIP Mrs. Sommers!

[@rogerdodger6025]

Donna Summer also had a Coiuntry career in the 1990's and Pop/Rock career in the 80's. She was a very versatile singer. Another Disco group to check out is Heat wave. The songs: "Boogie Nights", "The Groove Line" and the love ballad "Always And Forever".

This track was Pure Magic to dance to... still is! The strobe lights, pulsating together with the synth rig - and Donna "Queen of Disco" Summer's soft vocals... a match made in Heaven... The late, great Ms. Summer was so much more musically, other than just Disco - and she was an accomplished painter, as well. Check out her live stage performance (together with her then young daughter Mimi, nieces, and nephews...) of the song "STATE OF INDEPENDENCE" - from a concert broadcasted back in August of 1983.

[@MichellaWorldTV]

I met Donna Summer at a LaBelle concert at the Palladium in NYC. We were sitting next to each other before the show. I was only 19, and she was at the top of her game. The Disco Queen, they called her. She asked questions about me, my aspirations, and what kind of music do I like. I couldn’t believe it. Donna Summer? I was a huge fan of hers too, and she was so down to earth-interested in knowing about a 19 year-old teen girl fan. I’ll never forget it. RIP Miss Summer

[@maryk446]

Listen to Donna's song "Dim all the Lights." She holds the note on the word "up" for the longest time. She actually held a record (may still hold it possibly) for the longest held note in a Top 100 song. Donna was originally an actress named LaDonna Gaines. Summer was her first husband's last name. She was in a touring production of the musical "Hair." She met her husband there - he was a fellow cast member.

This song was so far ahead of it's time. It came out in the disco era but this kind of usage of the synthesizer kinda set the tone for techno and the synth pop that would be coming down the road in the 80s.. Absolute classic.
