Summer left the United States LaDonna Gaines, an 18-year old performer trying to follow the musical Hairspray as it left Broadway for Germany. Donna got the part in Germany after failing to win it in New York. Soon, she was a staple of Germany musicals, singing in Godspell and Show Boat. She also made an impact on the stage as a pure singer, playing at the Viennese Folk Opera and in the band Munich Machine.
Summer gained her last name after she married Austrian actor Helmuth Sommer. Donna changed her last name to Summer with thoughts of the American stage. Those thoughts came true after she spent years recording popular singles in Europe and singing backup in popular American rock bands. Producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte built a new disco sound around her after hearing her sing “Love to Love You Baby”. The song was supposed to be sung by Summer and sold as a demo to another artist, but her vocals were so impressive that she was soon selling tickets and touring with the song as her signature.
Donna had her first taste of American recognition with the song as it hit number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was Summer’s rendition of a female climax in the song that brought her fame through controversy. With an edge behind her, she became a dance hit machine. Live and More, Bad Girls, and On the Radio: Greatest Hits Volumes 1& 2 each hit number one on the charts, making Donna the only person to have three double albums at number one on the Billboard charts.
She would try to escape the era of disco by reluctantly switching producers. Quincy Jones gave a more pop and R&B feel and delivered some success, but she was still remembered as the lady of disco no matter how hit singles she released or how many Grammy’s she won. Her concerts continue do sell out in the ‘80s, but eventually Summer’s fame began to fade. Donna is still remembered though and has ushered in a new fan base with the popularity of her songs in talent contests like American Idol.
