 THE 100 ESSENTIAL SONGS BY

DONNA SUMMER

Donna Summer signed with Sony / Burgundy. As the year 2000 approached, she continued racking up Dance Chart hits.    

 

25 LOVE’S ABOUT TO CHANGE MY HEART

A Top 20 hit in Britain and #3 Dance smash in the United States, “Love’s About To Change My Heart” was one of the singles lifted off the ‘Another Place And Time’ album.


24 CARRY ON

 Anyone doubting that Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder could re-ignite the magic was proven wrong with the release of “Carry On” in 1997.


23 LOVE IS THE HEALER

A Dance Chart #1 hit, “Love Is The Healer” fused a pounding beat with Gregorian chants to make another ground-breaking gem from Donna in 1999.


22 ROMEO

“Romeo” was recorded for the ‘I’m A Rainbow’ album. It was doomed for the vaults until director Adrian Lyne heard the song. He was keen to have it on the ‘Flashdance’ soundtrack. The director paid a massive advance to Warners to include it on the #1 album.


21 I LOVE YOU

‘Donna was racking up dance hits when “I Love You” was lifted off the ‘Once Upon A Time’ album. While it only climbed to #37 in America, the single peaked at #10 in Britain.
