Uncovering the Legacy of Donna Summer, the Undisputed Queen of Disco.

The new HBO Max documentary Love to Love You, Donna Summer explores the tremendous impact of the undisputed queen of disco, Donna Summer, on music. Summer's greatest success came with disco, a genre that blossomed in the gay Black and brown clubs of New York and Chicago. She excelled as both a vocalist and a songwriter, with hits like "Love to Love You Baby" and "I Feel Love" that influenced the evolution of dance music. Despite her contributions, Summer was never taken seriously due to the genre's lack of respect and her association with the LGBTQ+ community. The documentary sheds light on her legacy and the rumors surrounding her comments on the AIDS crisis.
