Whether you are a fan of disco or not, it is hard to argue about the impact Donna Summer has had on popular music for the past thirty-plus years. Blessed with a phenomenal voice, Donna Summer's career has been a fabulous one.
It is unfair to label Donna Summer purely as a disco artist, as her music has elements of dance, funk, rhythm and blues, rock and gospel. However, her dominance on the charts was made mainly during the disco era of the seventies. During a five year span, Donna Summer released three albums and four singles that topped the charts and released many more singles that topped the Club Play charts. The music she created during that era was rhythm heavy and were dynamite tunes to dance to in the clubs.
As her career wore on Donna Summer's style continued to change. Her 1983 hit She Works Hard for the Money became both an MTV staple and a women's anthem, proving that she was not just one of many fly-by-night disco artists. Her influence has stretched over to many different artists and genres of music and her hit single I Feel Love has been sampled in many songs over the years.
