Author and dedicated admirer Nik A Ramli takes us from Donna's early days singing in church choirs to the peak of her career in the 1970s - when Love To Love You Baby and Hot Stuff changed the way music was made - and describes how her musical output constantly evolved in the years that followed. The book features interviews with other famous names from the industry including Gloria Gaynor, Paul Gambaccini and Pete Waterman, plus the input of an international selection of fans and musicians. There were ups and downs for Donna Summer, personally and professionally, but her outstanding talent and unique voice never faltered and she continued to produce work that will live on for years to come; her tracks are frequently covered, sampled and used for film and TV soundtracks.
