Cowboy Donna Summer: The Queen Of Disco Goes Full On Country!!!
How Donna Summer made black female history on the country charts before Beyoncé
Yes, Beyoncé made history by becoming the first black woman to go No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs with her bluegrassy bop “Texas Hold ’Em.”
But we gotta give props to another African-American diva who broke down genre barriers on the country charts long before Bey made her two-step statement.
That would be Donna Summer, who, when she was the Queen of Disco, made her own history as the first African-American woman to co-write a No. 1 country single in 1980 with “Starting Over Again,” a tune that the late legend wrote with her widower Bruce Sudano for none other than Dolly Parton.
That’s also 43 years before Tracy Chapman became the first black woman to be the sole writer of the top tune on Billboard’s Hot Country Airplay chart with Luke Combs’ cover of “Fast Car” last summer.
Summer and Sudano - who got married in May 1980, the same month that “Starting Over Again” became Parton’s 12th country chart-topper - had previously co-written the certified disco classic “Bad Girls” together.
But “Starting Over Again” - a country-pop ballad, from Parton’s “Dolly, Dolly, Dolly” album about getting your giddy up back post-divorce - was a radical departure from the Studio 54 anthems that had made Summer the Beyoncé of the disco generation.
“I loved it,” Summer - who died from lung cancer in 2012 at age 63 - said of Parton’s rendition to Country Music Today magazine in 2003. “It was so exciting to me. You can cut it, but it’s not the the same as when someone else cuts your song.
“The ability to transform another person’s life or to enter their being is so profound.”
“Starting Over Again” would also be covered by Reba McEntire in 1995, but Summer’s own version, while recorded, was never officially released.
And Parton herself is among those who are all abuzz for Queen B’s upcoming country album, “Renaissance: Act II” which also features “16 Carriages” as its final track.
“I’m a big fan of Beyoncé and very excited that she’s done a country album, ” Parton, 78, wrote on Instagram. “Can’t wait to hear the full album!”
Ironically, Beyoncé paid homage to Summer by borrowing from “I Feel Love” on “Summer Renaissance,” the final track on 2022’s “Renaissance: Act 1.”
And, after moving to Nashville in 1994, Summer even became a board member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
“My parents listened to country music, R&B music and gospel music,” she told Country Music Today. “They listened to Willie Nelson as much as they would Nat King Cole or Frank Sinatra. I grew up loving country music. My daddy used to play Patsy Cline. We used to watch the [country music] programs on television when we were little.”
So let’s give respect to the black country queens who came long before Beyoncé made the hoedown popping.

What a beautiful song. But then it's Donna Summer so why would it not be beautiful. She is amazing.
Fantastic actor and singer. And the ever beautiful talented Donna Summer
No one did it like Donna Summer No one....... May she 🏝 Rest In Paradise 🏝
Why was there never a video for this?
@@hallson2917 She was involved in a lawsuit against a NY magazine for an article they printed about her at the time of this album’s release. It impeded any opportunity for a proper launch of the album, unfortunately. They eventually settled out of court. But the end result was an unsuccessful launch and chart though this single did make the top twenty on the R&B charts.
@@Suecasehall ok thanks!
Rest in Peace Donna!
This popped into my feed. Huge Dan fan. He was, perhaps the most underrated singer songwriter of a generation. She did a wonderful job. Didn't flourish it too much, stuck close to his version which was perfect to begin with. And the music sounded like it was lifted right from his version. Any kind of tribute to Dan is welcome. He deserves all accolades that can be bestowed.
Браво, Донна Саммер!!!!! ❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹💯💯💯🎤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Driving with this 8 track playing, top down, full blast Craig stereo a d Jensen speakers....loud!!! Not ashamed to say I was a male s caught in disco!!!! The 70's all defined great music!!!!
Why in the heck was that male American Idol contestants voice in this video singing "She Works Hard For The Money"? He has no place on here. Her music video clip of that song with HER singing it should have been shown with her live Grammy performance shown here. Other than that thank you for this great video collage. I'm a huge mega Donna Summer fan since 1976. As Bette Midler said Donna Summer is "The Queen Of Pop Vocals". I have to agree with her. Donna Summer it s the most versatile female singer that ever recorded music. Her live performances are always on point. She is giving us top notch effortless vocals and i may add that she was very classy and beautiful. No one does it like Donna. May she continue to 🏝 Rest In Paradise 🏝
Donna Summer was much more than I ever knew!! She was versatile and amazing!!
she really was
Semplicemente FANTASTICA ❤❤❤❤CHE MUSICA 🎶 🎶 🎶 UN INFINITO GRAZIE A GIORGIO MORODER e DONNA SUMMER ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I await a moment when the Divine speaks and unveils the Mystery.Of us. I need to make sure that you are safe where you are in your find and soul. I know that I have reached your heart. The world of Spirits has some haunting scenes, and how a significant path is what you bring to me, but I do wish to join you under the Sweetheart Tree. . 🦋💜🦋🏹

This is what i always say to people....Donna can sing their songs but no one can sing Donna's songs. Her voice was that unique. As Bette Midler said (Donna Summer is the Pop Vocal Queen") and i agree with her. Donna Summer is the most versatile female singer that ever recorded music and won Grammy Awards for it in different categories. I love Aretha's music BUT no one does it for me like Donna. Her live performances vocally will never let you down. Donna was an effortless phenomenal powerhouse singer. 《Not a great singer.》 Aretha was a very soulful singer during her hey day.. She's not my favorite. Donna can sing anything and make it her own effortlessly. May both DIVAS Rest In Peace 🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙 ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
Cette chanson est excellente ❤
The👑Queen
Love and miss you Donna😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a beautiful voice 😍 ❤️ ❤
If Aretha liked you, she would be very clear and if she didn't she would, also be very clear. As the best singer of all time (professional industry and peer verified, time and time again), Aretha saying someone is a very (in a HIGH DEGREE) good ( having the qualities desired for a particular role) singer is an enormous compliment. As the undisputed Queen, Aretha doesn't have to be on her knees, giving Donna Summers a blowjob to give her a compliment. Aretha saying that Donna Summers has the qualities desired for the particular role of a singer in a high degree (dictionary definition), is an enormous compliment. And I totally agree with Aretha, Donna Summers definitely was a high degree singer and had some amazing hits and other songs!
Donna Summer could sing a song in any of her three octaves.
Lo mejor de la onda Disco..
Theres a new long re-edited version of McArthur's Park thats way way better than original - classic late 70s disco. Yes we all loved her so!
One of the best live albums ever. Its awesome from start to finish. Love it and her.
Donna Summer can sing other singers songs make it sound good and most of the time make it her own. Other singers can't sing Donna's songs. Donna's voice was so unique with different octaves and ranges that it could never be duplicated. I love Aretha's music but Donna Summer is the one that does it for me. She is pretty much the only female singer that sings "live" and sounds like the original recording. I have been to 52 of Donna's concerts and i never heard an issue with her voice. NEVER. Like i always say "No One Does It Like Donna".
Love it, miss you Donna.
Eu Amor Está Cantora Donna Summer's Love You, Bjssssssssssssss
Robert Guillaume was one of my favorite actors. Love me some Benson and Soap. I know some actors can sing but I never thought he would be one of them.
Wow
The most beautiful voice and the most beautiful black voice in the history of music of all time. Love you Donna Summer, love you Mimi Summer!
You are the BEST❤️❤️🇫🇮❤️❤️
She was a wonder woman, I love her eternity.

She have beautiful daughters
Donna Summer had The Eve Gene. The true definition of I'm Every Woman. She was so much more than just disco (which was a great genre unto itself). Should've had even more hits in the 80's and 90's. The woman was a truly gifted singer. ♥♥
