Here are ten reasons why we love and will miss Donna Summers
10.)She left home for New York City at age 18 to find work on Broadway, which she did quickly by landing a role in a touring version of the hot Broadway show “Hair.”
9.)She started out singing background for the hit-making 1970s trio Three Dog Night.
8.) After declaring herself a born again christian, Summer then decided that from then on, she would no longer perform the song that had won her international fame and recognition, "Love to Love You Baby". A quarter of a century later, however, she began performing the song again live. As recently as 2011, she even re-recorded the track, complete with racy sighs and moans, for the "Loverdose" fragrance advertisement by Diesel. We always new you were a "bad girl"!
7.) "Love to Love You Baby" was her U.S. chart debut and the first of 19 No. 1 dance hits between 1975 and 2008 - second only to Madonna.
6.)She had one of her biggest hits in the 1980s with "She Works Hard For The Money," which became another anthem, this time for women's rights.
5.)Even as disco went out of fashion, she remained a fixture in dance clubs, endlessly sampled and remixed into contemporary dance hits.
4.) for "Love to Love You Baby" Donna Summers said that she had thought of how the song might sound if Marilyn Monroe had sung it and began cooing the lyrics.
3.) HitShe was the only artist to have three consecutive double-LPs hit No. 1, "Live and More," "Bad Girls" and "On the Radio." She was also the first female artist with four No. 1 singles in a 13-month period, according to the Rock Hall of Fame, where she was a nominee this year
2.) In 1994, Summer and her family moved from Los Angeles to Nashville, where she took time out from show business to focus on painting,making her a true woman of the arts.
