    @@earlcampbell7953 "Underrated" is the fact that hardly anybody mentions her when speaking of the greatest singers of all time. "Underrated" is forgetting that she (not Whitney Houston) was the first black female artist in heavy rotation on MTV. Yes, she was THE most famous, consistent, and successful artist outside of the Bee Gees during the disco Era, but not everybody watching this was born then or is old enough to remember it. She's not unsung, but she is definitely underrated when you consider that she had so many history making accomplishments and lesser artists receive A LOT more hype.

    @@monilaninetynine3811 That's STILL not "Underrated" just because someone isn't speaking of you now, it doesn't erase what you've done because as soon as you do a special about that time period then she's gonna come up because she dominated it. People don't talk about The Bee Gees but it doesn't change the fact that prior to Michael Jackson's Thriller, Saturday Night Fever was the biggest-selling album ever. The kind of mark she left can never put her in an "Underrated" category she was a superstar, it doesn't matter that black people aren't talking about her in their petty little conversations about who's the best because I promise you that other people are.

    You are right. I really feel like Donna's story mirrors Whitney Houston in a way. She also received unnecessary judgement from black people. Black people also overlooked Donna heavily until she died. Oh by then, she was commemorated all over the black magazine publications at one time. If that isn't enough, many blacks also did not respect or appreciate (during the promotion for LTLYB) that her overseas acclaim came before her American success. She was not "trying to be white," she was just used to artistically immersing herself with various cultures for several years before LTLYB ever came about.

Besides fathering a child out of wedlock and never giving the mother a dime, he had a well-known affair for years (while still married) with singer, Roberta Flack, and even her song "Jesse" is clearly about him.

    Donna also became the first female to hold down the #1 and #3 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. In 1979, Hot Stuff went to #1 and stayed there for 3 weeks while Bad Girls held the #3 position. Then a month those two songs switched places on the charts. Donna was able to do this TWICE! People fail to realize that, this woman made history as the female solo artist to do this. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 FYI: Donna and Melba Moore both auditioned for the role of Sheila for the Broadway musical Hair. The producers loved both ladies and other Melba the Broadway role. However, the producers liked Donna so much that, they offered her the same role (Sheila) in the traveling Europe version. The producers knew that the play would be a hit overseas and offered Donna Gaines the role. Yes, her father was pissed but her mother told her to go and follow her dreams. I'm glad Donna did! Thank you for pointing out that "transvestite" rumors. That almost killed her career! What used to piss me off was when whenever I conversation about music and mentioned Donna's name, black ppl would right away say "Oh you know she used to be a man"! That was NEVER true! A trans person cannot give birth to a child and Donna Summer gave birth THREE TIMES in her life: 1973, 1981 and 1992. Her middle daughter played Vanessa on the ABC comedy, My Wife And Kids. Some ppl still believed that horrible rumor until she died in 2012. It amazes how ppl idolize her now especially, years after her death and with the Kelly Rowland resemblance . Lol

    First of all, I love Donna Summer. I think she was the whole package and that's how, in the 1970's, she reached the superstar status she richly deserved, but she was beyond Disco and willing to experiment with her music, unlike other Disco stars. I think she was overlooked during the 1980's due to the Disco backlash and the poor management she was given by Geffen records. I still don't fully understand why, but I think her career was sabotaged. Yet she was still able to have new hits during the decade ("The Wanderer", "Love is in Control", "She Works Hard for the Money" and "This Time I Know is for Real"). Imagine all the hits she would have had if she had had the right management. For instance, Madonna was a mediocre singer, but became and remained popular because her label and her PR team did their best to promote her. In the 1970's, Donna Summer was as popular and she could have remained that way if Geffen people had been smart enough. Sadly, they weren't. About the "Disco sucks" movement, I think it was very stupid. I'm a headbanger white man (fan of Metal and Rock), but I also like Disco, R&B, Latin music, and many other genres. I think all music is cool and you can enjoy it all if you're in the right mood. Also, the 1980-82 "Dance" songs still sounded like "Disco". They just changed the name for marketing (as you said), but the music was the same.

    This was a great story! I'm 53 years old so Donna Summer is my childhood. I loved Disco as a kid and used to wish I was old enough to go to the disco LOL. In 1979 I was 10 years old and Bad Girls by Donna Summer, Good Times by Chic and We are family by Sister Sledge were my favorite songs. I was 7 years old when Love to love you baby was on the radio. I was grown when I realized how sexual that song was.
