Hit Parade: The Queen of Disco Edition
Podcast: Hit Parade | Music History and Music TriviaPublished On: Fri Nov 24 2017
Description: Donna Summer was a hitmaker for two decades and a dancefloor deity for more than three. Her collaborations with Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte were formative in dance, electronic and rock music, influencing everyone from David Bowie and Blondie to Madonna and Moby. But the rock establishment was stinting in its appreciation—whether at Comiskey Park in 1979, or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the 2000s. This month, we examine how Summer became the Queen of Disco…and how she transcended that role altogether. Email: hitparade@slate.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
