This Living Legend is no stranger to Rock & roll, In her teens she joined a Psychedelic-Rock-Band called "The Crow",named because Donna was the only black member of the group. At eighteen, Donna Gaines (Summer) left home and school to take up a major supporting role in the hippy Rock musical, "Hair". By 1979 Donna was the most successful female vocalist on the planet. Later, After Dance/disco music went underground in the 80's, Donna went back to her Rock roots and launched a hopeful but short lived Rock career in the early 1980s. The results won her a Grammy for "Best Rock Vocal Female" in 1980 and 2 other other Rock nominations of the same in 1981 & 1983. The media poised her as the black Pat Benatar ...

Donna is one of the most successful female hitmakers of the rock era. She paved the way for other female hitmakers like Madonna, Janet, Beyonce ect.

very well said, the sad truth..

[dompy1]

I always believed Donna secretly had the hots for Bruce Springsteen. (Curiously her husband even has the same first name and initals!) But hey, I ain't mad her! Who wouldn't? If they had married she would be Donna Summer-Springsteen and they would've had two daughters, Autumn and Winter. (Wow...way too much wine tonight).

[mascguy4upsl]

That was cute! .. I feel Donna wanted this dute with Springsteen as a way to be accepted in the rock community. If Bruce's label would have allowed this song to be recorded and released, Things with Donna would have been very different today... Cheers!

[mascguy4upsl]

BINGO!...smart guy...

[bergenagain]

excellent song by the most underrated singer in the business.

to bad she made those dumb comments about AID'S. She'd be a legend today.

They should release this!

[mascguy4upsl]

LOL,,,, you dont really believe such a Gay myth do you,,,lol that was proven false a million times... wow,,didnt think there people around who still remember and believe that...lol

[CapricornDavo]

Donna is a Legend!!!!!!!! I get so sick of these idiots saying Donna hates gay people, no one has ever been able to produce any audio or video tapes of Donna dissing gay people!!! I saw her in concert in Florida recently and more than half the people there were gay!!! Enough Already!!

[ShotgunBlues42]

This is just a mashup of Donna singing her version over the Boss's version of the song. Notice how the words don't match up in places? He wrote and recorded this song, but it was written for her, which is why he didn't release an official version of his (although there is a very good bootleg version). You can hear Bruce's version here:

Jesus Christ, if Donna gets in ahead of The Cure or Eric B & Rakim it will be a major fail.

@bergenagain

moron to fall for that bullshit. Donna Summer loves the gays ! it was a group of jealous assholes that started this dumb rumor to bring her down. Did it work ?? NOPE ! 2011 AND DONNA STILL ROCKS !

[smmou812]

I want this as an MP3, somebody send it to me.

[EmoDeathStar121]

It sounds very like the Queen of Rock Tina Turner

[robbjmc]

So...why wasn't this released?Did the record company think the "Queen of Disco" would tarnish the Boss' rep as a credible rock man? If anything, it makes him seem that much cooler. She's never been given her due because of the disco stigma. He alone could've done away with that and looked like a hero doing it.

[JimmieLeeLyrics]

@bergenagain - She is a legned today! Unless, of course, you heard her speak those supposed words yourself.

[fzkny]

I side with you 100%. In fact, she sued the magazine that publised that rumour and won. She's always had gay friends and supported gay causes as well.

[ErroneousClutter]

wowzo!
