  • American singer, songwriter and actress Donna Adrian Gaines, known professionally as Donna Summer, was born on December 31, 1948 in Boston, Massachusetts. At the age of 8, since she wasn’t old enough to join the choir, she got the opportunity to sing a solo one day. Some people started laughing when they saw her up at the front but, their jaws dropped immediately the minute the first note escaped her mouth. Donna admitted even she was shocked by her own talent. She also recounts that God spoke to her, telling her she was going to be famous.

A shame the whole Disco backlash because her songs are timeless and groundbreaking and still being played and sampled today. Some people thought she was a sexy joke in the beginning then she proved she was a real artist and writer with a voice that could sing any type of music.

      Nicole Sherman Late Ms. Donna Summer was not a such an underrated vocalist after all. She was very popular that time and was named as the Queen of Disco. She had many US and UK Top chart hits in the late 70's and early 80's. Also she had many platinum and gold certified albums including her most successful double album "Bad Girls" in 1979 which sold multi platinum in many countries. Its only after about 1984 that her commercial success started to go down, and that was very sad to see. Afterwards also she had comeback albums, because she did not give up and kept on recording. She was a true diva with that great voice and she was an unforgettable legend.

If you are now discovering her songs, please listen to all of her albums from about 1975 to about 1991, and her comeback album of 2008. Then you will realise her true talents and that great voice equally in her fast, dance songs and her ballads. A true diva.

    Donna Summer is criminally underrated as a vocalist. She deserves to be in the same sentence as Aretha, Gladys, Patti, and Chaka. The only reason is she was pigeon holed as a “disco” artist. Lucky for us, she is just a RUclips or Spotify click away.

But i think it's done because her recording company producers had persuaded her so. This was evident in one or two of her songs only. But after that she never did it. What about that brilliant super hit song "I Feel Love" of 1977 with that futuristic music, all those excellent songs of her multi platinum selling album "Bad Girls" of 1979 and her wonderful other songs which followed?

I'm going to have to ask my mom if she knew that. And I just looked up her birthday. She was born 11 years before my mom. Her and I share a birthday, New Years Eve. 🎉🎉

    Donna's 1989 album "Another Place And Time" was completely glossed over in this piece. It produced her last top 10 and gold certified song on the Hot 100, a song called "This Time I Know It's For Real". It also failed to mention Donna winning the very first Grammy in the dance category in 1998. It was her fifth Grammy in total.

    FYI: in 1967, a young Melba Moore and Donna Gaines(later known as Donna Summer) both auditioned for the same role in the Broadway musical HAIR. Both ladies were so good that, the producers decided to give Melba the Broadway role. Meanwhile, Donna was offered the same role with the touring company of HAIR, which led to her leaving for Germany and Europe.
