LaDonna Adrian Gaines (December 31, 1948 – May 17, 2012), known as "Donna Summer" was an American singer, songwriter, and actress, who was known as the "Queen of Disco." She rose to fame in the 1970s and became one of the most successful recording artists of that decade.

Some of Donna Summer's most important songs include:
"I Feel Love" (1977): This song is considered to be one of the most important tracks in the history of electronic dance music. It was produced by Giorgio Moroder and introduced a new sound that would influence many future dance music genres.

"Love to Love You Baby" (1975): This song was Donna Summer's first big hit, and it helped to establish her as a sex symbol and disco diva.

"Last Dance" (1978): This song was written for the movie "Thank God It's Friday" and won an Academy Award for Best Original Song. It became one of Donna Summer's signature hits and is still a dancefloor classic today.

"She Works Hard for the Money" (1983): This song was a feminist anthem that spoke to the struggles of working women. It became one of Donna Summer's biggest hits in the 1980s.

Donna Summer also recorded a cover version of "State of Independence," which was originally written by Vangelis and Jon Anderson of the band Yes. Her version was released in 1982 and became a hit, reaching the top 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song features a gospel choir and Donna Summer's powerful vocals, and it is considered to be one of her best recordings.

One of her first singles was "Denver Dream" (1974)
Her first album "Lady of the Night"was also released in 1974.
Donna Summer had a total of 32 chart singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 in her lifetime, including 14 top ten singles and four number one singles.
