Ladonna Gaines moved from her hometown of Boston to live and work in Munich in 1968, appearing in the musicals Hair and Porgy and Bess. It was during her time here that she met her husband Helmut Summer, their marriage giving her the opportunity to change her name to Donna Summer. Her first big hit was Love to Love You Baby which became an international smash and featured her sighing vocal over a disco beat. I Feel Love was her next major success and along with her screen debut in the awful disco film Thank God it’s Friday, which gained her an Oscar for the song Last Dance, she was now recognised as the true diva of disco. The ‘70s also saw her release the hits MacArthur Park, Hot Stuff, Bad Girls and No More Tears (Enough is Enough) with Barbra Streisand.
This was without doubt the peak of her popularity and with the death of disco in the early ‘80s she became a born again Christian. At this time she reportedly made some anti-gay comments that brought her a worldwide boycott of her music in dance clubs. These comments were reportedly false, but that depends on who you ask. She currently has quite a large gay following so one can only assume that she has been forgiven by most.
The ‘80s still saw her producing hits including On the Radio, The Wanderer, Love is in Control, She Works Hard For the Money, This Time I Know it’s For Real and I Don’t Wanna Get Hurt. The ‘90s were quiet for Summer and this time saw her move to Nashville to work on country music and pursue her passion for painting. 1997 saw her win her fifth Grammy Award for the 'Best Dance Recording' for the song Carry On and she currently has plans to launch a Broadway musical based on her life entitled Ordinary Girl.
This release sees Donna Summer in concert at the Manhattan Centre in New York on February the 4th, 1999 and although the concert is only a short one, it demonstrates her ability to not only sing but to also captivate an audience. Another nice surprise is to see Australia’s own Tina Arena performing an impressive duet. The show contains hit after hit from the Disco Diva.
