Performer: Donna Summer (Vocalist)
Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: Composer: Donna Summer . This 20th CENTURY MASTERS disc collects the finest tracks from Donna Summer's remarkable career. While Summer was never in quite the same league as, say, Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight, or even superstars that followed in her wake such as Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige, her sultry performances on disco anthems like "Hot Stuff," "I Feel Love," and "Love To Love You Baby" show that she was certainly a diva to be reckoned with. Though this collection is a little slight at 11 tracks (for a more extensive set try the two-disc GOLD collection), it's a concise look at the key moments in the career of this undeniable hitmaker.
One of the most talented artists of the disco era, Donna Summer first found success by teaming with producer Giorgio Moroder and developing a highly sexualized, hooky dance sound highlighted by percolating electronics and moaning, sensual vocals. An incredible run of hit singles established Summer as a genuine 1970s icon (an image she has unfortunately found it difficult to shake), and she later expanded her sound to encompass straight R&B and pop.
