ProfD Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Donna Summer caught lightning in the bottle and was able to ride the Disco movement into stardom. Love to Love You is still a nice track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a couple of white music producers in Germany who propelled Donna Summer into a star. Thankfully, they treated her fairly. She definitely made her money and got paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmurray Posted June 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 @ProfDmy point is, no musician is respected in their field like donna summer absent great musical ability. the producers helped her be most profitable, which is important but even if donna summer didn't have the same production,ala minnie rippington, another great voice, not the same producers but both are remembered well and have great voices before anyone knew them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer1 Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Such a beautiful woman. It wasn't until a few days ago that I learned that the song "Hot Stuff" was actually by Donna Summer!!!! All of these years I've been hearing that song, and thought it was a White woman who sung it....lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
