Donna Summer, foi uma cantora pop norte-americana mais conhecida por suas gravações em estilo disco dos anos 70, que deram a ela o título de Rainha da Disco. Apesar de ser uma das mais conhecidas artistas da “Era Disco’”, seu repertório incluiu diversos gêneros, incluindo “rhythm’n blues” e rock, tendo ganho prêmios “Grammy” nestas categorias. Seu trabalho ainda é aplaudido pela crítica e ela permanece como uma das poucas artistas da Era Disco’ ainda aceitas pela crítica atual. Summer começou cantando no coral da igreja que freqüentava. Mais tarde juntou-se a um grupo de rock chamado The Crow. Poucos meses antes de concluir o ensino médio, Summer deixou o curso e se juntou à produção alemã do musical Hair. Em 1971, lançou a música “Sally Go ‘Round the Roses”, seu primeiro trabalho solo, sem sucesso. Após conhecer Giorgio Moroder e Pete Bellotte, lançou seu primeiro LP, Lady of the Night em 1975, com algum sucesso na Europa. Sua música Love to Love You Baby foi um grande “hit” no continente. Em seguida surgiu uma versão de 17 minutos de Love to Love You Baby aclamada pela crítica, e que estabeleceu um padrão hoje conhecido por “extended mix”: versões extensas voltadas para pistas de dança. Trabalhando com Moroder and Bellotte, surgiu o disco Love Trilogy em 1976 e, no mesmo ano, o álbum conceitual Seasons of Love. O trabalho seguinte, I Remember Yesterday (1977) incluía o sucesso “I Feel Love”, a primeira música de sucesso com acompanhamento inteiramente feito por sintetizador. Esta música, de enorme sucesso, influenciou o desenvolvimento da “disco’ music” e do techno, graças às inovações introduzidas por Moroder. Depois de atuar (e ganhar um Grammy pela trilha sonora) na comédia Thank God It’s Friday (“Ainda bem que é sexta-feira”), Summer lançou um álbum ao vivo, Live and More com outro enorme sucesso: MacArthur Park. Seu talento como compositora apareceu em Bad Girls (1979), e também em “Hot Stuff”, ganhadora de outro Grammy. A música On the Radio, também de 1979, chegou a n-o 1 nas paradas americanas. Neste ano, gravou também um dueto com Barbra Streisand na música Enough is Enough. Nos anos 90, Summer continuou a trabalhar e a produzir vários sucessos dançantes, como “Melody Of Love” e uma versão de “Con Te Partirò”, de Andrea Bocelli, chamada “I Will Go With You”. Vários remixes de músicas suas têm sido lançados, assim como compilações. A rainha da disco music, Donna Summer, morreu na manhã do dia 17/05/2012 depois de uma batalha contra o câncer.
