Everyone Loves To Love Donna Summer Soundtrack Companion To The Original Dance Floor Diva's Biographical Broadway Musical Features All Of Her #Influential, Chart-Topping Tracks, Via New Island Def Jam/UMe Collection on April 20 #LOSANGELES, March 26, 2018/ @PRNewswire / -- On April 20, #IslandDefJam / #UMe is set to properly fete #DonnaSummer, the undisputed #QueenofDisco and The First Lady of Love, with Summer: The Original Hits. This catchy collection of Summer's greatest hits is a companion to Summer: The Donna #SummerMusical, an exciting new Broadway musical based on her rich and storied life. Previews for Summer: The Donna #Summer Musical commenced on March 28, 2018, at the legendary Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in #NewYorkCity with the official opening on April 23, 2018. Donna Summer was born in #Boston on New Year's Eve, 1948. She embraced the core tenets of #gospel as a young singer while cutting her teeth with a local #rockband and in #European musicals, developing an individual vocal Ă©lan that also #married the best elements of Rock, R&B, and #Disco. Her signature #style is on full display on The Original Hits in such #iconictracks as forever-seductive "Love To Love You Baby," the defiantly declarative "Bad Girls," the #MTV-era female-empowerment anthem "She Works Hard For The Money," the fiery dance/#rock mesh of "Hot Stuff," and the urgent ballad-to-crescendo disco blend of "Last #Dance." #GiorgioMoroder , her frequent collaborator, legendary #Italian #electronic-music #pioneer and #producer who partnered with #PeteBellotte, instantly recognized Summer's vocal prowess â and how to maximize her performance in the studio. When Moroder heard Richard Harris's #dramatic version of Jimmy Webb's lost-love lament "MacArthur Park" on the radio while driving on the #HollywoodFreeway, he knew who had to sing it for him in an innovative arrangement. "Even before I recorded it, I knew it would be perfect for her voice," Moroder confirmed. #music #tribute #salute #dancingbaby #donnasummer #blackexcellence #by #nyc #theaters #musicallyđ¶ #musical #dancefever #woman #blackgirlsrock #blackwoman #strength #singer
