Donna Summer

Donna Summer Singer-songwriter Donna Summer, known as the "Queen of Disco," was born on December 31, 1948, in Boston, Massachusetts. Summer's debut performance came one Sunday when she was 10 years old, when a singer scheduled to perform at her church did not show up. "From the time she was little, that's all she really did," her mother recalled. Overcoming her father's initial objections, she accepted the part and flew to Germany with her parents' reluctant approval. From nearly the moment she learned how to talk, Donna sang ceaselessly. "You couldn't see her if you were beyond the third row," her father remembered. It was quite a fantastic moment in my life mer auditioned for and was cast in a production of Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical scheduled to run in Munich, Germany. "She literally lived to sing . ' And I just knew from that day on I was going to be famous. She was also something of a troublemaker as a teenager, sneaking out to parties to circumvent her parents' strictly enforced curfew. Summer attended Jeremiah E. But to everyone's surprise, the voice that bellowed out of Donna Summer's tiny body that Sunday morning was overwhelmingly powerful and beautiful. In 1974, still in Munich, Summer recorded her first solo album, Lady of the Night, which scored a major European hit with the single "The Hostage" but failed to crack the American market.
