 Donna Summer
"Queen of Disco"
 LaDonna Adrian Gaines (born December 31, xxxx) was better known as Donna Summer...who many refer to as the QUEEN of Disco.  Donna Summer is a 5 time Grammy Winner and the first artist to have 3 consecutive Double-Albums reach #1 on the Billboard Chart.  She also charted 4 number 1 singles within a 13 month period.
In xxxx, Donna Summer approached Giorgio Moroder with an idea for a song he and Bellotte were working on for another singer. She had come up with the lyrics "love to love you, baby". Moroder was interested in developing the new sound that was becoming popular and used Summer's lyric to develop the song. Moroder persuaded Summer to record what was to be a demo track for another performer. She later said that she had thought of how the song might sound if Marilyn Monroe had sung it and began cooing the lyrics. To get into the mood of recording the song, she requested the producers turn off the lights while she sat on a sofa inducing moans and groans. After hearing playback of the song, Moroder felt Summer's version should actually be distributed. The song was then sent to America and arrived in the office of Casablanca Records president Neil Bogart in hopes of getting an American release. Casablanca was known around the industry for throwing lavish parties. At one of these parties, Bogart, still undecided about releasing the song on his label, had "Love To Love You" played so he could gauge the reaction of people on the dancefloor. The crowd took to the song (which was less than five minutes) so strongly that they kept asking for it to be played over and over consecutively so they could continue dancing in the same groove. Soon after that night, Bogart informed Summer and Moroder he would release the song but requested that Moroder produce a longer version, about 15 to 20 minutes in length. Moroder, Bellotte, and Summer returned with a 17 minute version that included a soulful chorus and an instrumental break where Summer invoked even more moans. When Casablanca released the 17 minute version in its entirety as a single, it became one of the first record labels, to help make popular a format that would later be known as the 12 inch. By early xxxx, "Love To Love You Baby" had reached #2 on the US Billboard Hot 100, while the album of the same name sold over a million copies. 
Donna Summer helped launch one of the most profitable genre's in music history....DISCO MUSIC was born!
