Donna Summer

Summer was an American actress and songwriter regarded as one of the best in her time. She rose to prominence in the late 1970s and stayed relevant. She gained the name, “Queen of Disco” for her disco hit. 

Some of her songs include Love to Love You Baby, I Feel Love, Last Dance, Heaven Knows, Hot Stuff, Bard Girls and more others.

Before she lost the battle to lung cancer, she reportedly sold over 100 million records worldwide, making her the best selling at the time. She also won five Grammy Awards.
