 THE 100 ESSENTIAL SONGS BY

DONNA SUMMER

As 1979 drew to an end, Donna Summer unleashed her duet with Barbra Streisand. “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” brought together two of the biggest names on the pop charts and raced to #1. This was followed by a compilation album that became Donna's third chart-topping LP (all double albums)- a feat she is still the only female artist to accomplish.

 

60 FAIRY TALE HIGH

In Germany, “Fairy Tale High” was the second single lifted off ‘Once Upon A Time’.

59 TO TURN THE STONE

 Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte intended to use Donna’s recording of “To Turn The Stone” for her ‘I’m A Rainbow’. When the label refused to release it, the tracks remained in the vaults. The song was then recorded by Frida following the start of ABBA’s hiatus. Her version appears on ‘Something’s Going On’ which was issued in 1982.
