Donna Summer: Singles... Driven by the Music

To celebrate the upcoming anniversary release of Donna Summer's 'Another Place and Time', I've been listening to the 'Singles... Driven by the Music' collection from 2015.

DONNA SUMMER gained prominence during the 1970s disco era, propelled by her incessant and creative driving force behind the genre's global popularity, rightly earning the title "Queen Of Disco" and becoming one of the most successful recording artists of the entire decade.

Donna was the first Artist to have three consecutive Double-Albums reach No. 1 on the US Billboard charts and also became the first artist to achieve four No. 1 singles in a thirteen month period.

Donna's catalogue has sold more than 130 Million units worldwide and this re-issue campaign of seven of her later albums, prove that she was able to accommodate new musical and production styles as the decade progressed.

Donna Summer became the first Artist signed to the new Geffen Records label in 1980 and released her first single and album - both entitled 'THE WANDERER' - for the label in the same year.

This collection collates the Singles originally released on Geffen Records and Atlantic Records from the albums 'The Wanderer', 'Donna Summer', 'Cats Without Claws', 'All Systems Go', 'Another Place And Time' and 'Mistaken Identity'.

Originally a CD boxset, this 98 track collection is considerably less expensive to purchase from iTunes.  It's a great collection and a more than worthy addition to some great Donna albums in recent years.
