Standing atop the world of Disco was no small feat. And Donna Summer did it without breaking a sweat on the way to 18 Grammy nominations and five wins!
From britannica.com:
Summer wrote or cowrote most of her material, including “I Feel Love,” a proto-techno track; “Bad Girls”; and “She Works Hard for the Money.”
Donna Summer (born December 31, 1948, Boston, Massachusetts) possessed an incredible ability to craft dance music. Her songs not only won her five Grammys, she was an innovator who introduced the world to the 12" Disco Mix. Her career spanned decades and shortly before her passing in 2012, she still had multiple new songs topping the Billboard Dance Music charts.
