Donna Summer (born LaDonna Adrian Gaines on December 31, 1948) is an American

expanded to include contemporary R&B, rock, mainstream pop, and even gospel.

number-one singles in a twelve-month period. Donna Summer has sold over 130
million records worldwide
On September 27, 2007, Donna was nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame, but did not succeed in being inducted
