Donna Summer

Summer Time: The Singles Collection 1974-2010 is set to be a staggering tribute to the late, great Donna Summer's decades-long presence as a dancefloor filler. Timed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of her breakthrough hit "Love to Love You, Baby," this 40CD set highlights five decades' worth of single sides she issued all over the world, from early Dutch single-only tracks to material from her tenures on Casablanca, Geffen, Mercury, Warner Bros., Atlantic and more. Amidst the familiar hits ("Love to Love You, Baby," "I Feel Love," "Last Dance," "Heaven Knows," "Hot Stuff," "On the Radio," "She Works Hard for the Money") and fan favorites, there's a cadre of late-period remixes of classic Casablanca and Geffen material, soundtrack and compilation appearances, and material released in at least a dozen countries. The box features a 64-page booklet with a comprehensive new essay by Christian John Wikane. He draws from new and archival interviews with Summer; her husband Bruce Sudano; collaborators like Pete Bellotte, Keith Forsey, Tom Moulton, Joe "Bean" Esposito, Harold Faltermeyer, Bruce Roberts, Michael Omartian and Pete Waterman; plus Debbie Harry of Blondie, Dionne Warwick, Jimmy Webb, Olivia Newton-John, Maurice White and actress Ariana DeBose, whose portrayal of the singer in Summer: The Donna Summer Musical earned her a Tony nomination.
