Whenever I'm in a bad mood, one thing that perks me up is blasting my Donna Summer greatest hits while I'm driving.
There is something so deliciously catchy about her rhythmic pop beats and sultry voice that totally lifts my spirits. It makes me want to dance. It makes me want to sing. It makes me want to love to love you, baby.
Well, this stunning 70s glam queen is not just a disco legend, she's also one of the greatest fashion icons in history.
Her glittery, sexy stage costumes were breathtakingly fabulous.
She never failed to seduce your eyes with a single pose.
Her style represented an era besieged by flower-adorned hippies, funky disco cats, and fresh-faced American pie youth in faded blue jeans.
With Hollywood-esque beauty and superstardom in her grasp, she epitomized the changing world of pop music.
Her success is astounding. She has won five Grammy's. She was the first artist to have three consecutive double albums reach #1 on the US Billboard chart. She also had four #1 hits in the US within a 13 month period.
I'm not gonna lie, despite her glamorous and enviable life, Donna hasn't been without her own dramas. When she shot to fame in the 1970s, it caused the 20-something-year-old to spiral out of control. She grew extremely depressed and attempted suicide several times. In 1979, however, she became a born-again Christian, which appears to have saved her life.
Today she lives in Nashville with her husband. She has three daughters (one who is even a gorgeous model) and four grandchildren.
Below, I have created an outfit inspired by Donna Summer's style from the 1970s. Do you like it?

Wow...I didn't know she tried to commit suicide. Donna is one of my all-time favorites...so that kinda makes me sad! But so glad to hear that she is living a full-life now with her family!

ohh Donna Summers... I still listen to her songs!
Hey Jennifer! Great post! I've always loved Donna Summer. I have her on my ipod (last dance, she works hard for the money and love is in control). I even liked it when she sang unconditional love. HAHA Your outfit post is right on point. Thank you for your comment yesterday. As you know I followed you for a long time, and it wasn't about you not leaving a comment everyday but for awhile i didn't hear from you at all and questioned whether or not you even liked me or wanted to be bothered. HAHAHA So I stopped. Which was horrible on my part, because I assumed. You can definitely spend all morning, afternoon and evening trying to respond to everyone. You will have NO life. I don't know how others can do it either. Sometimes I have time and sometimes I don't. So I understand how you feel. Your comment really clarified everything for me. You only lost me temporarily. I'm back! ((HUG))
