Donna Summer

Donna Summer is the tenth studio album by American singer Donna Summer, released on July 19, 1982, by Geffen Records. It featured the Top 10, Grammy-nominated "Love Is in Control" single. The album itself saw a drop in chart position from her previous album, peaking at No.20, but ultimately outsold it by remaining on the Billboard 200 for 37 weeks - nearly 20 weeks more. Its longevity was aided by follow-up singles "State of Independence" and "The Woman in Me", which charted at 41 and 33 respectively. The album marked a departure for Summer as it was produced by hit-making producer Quincy Jones, something that the record company had insisted on to ensure success, albeit falling below expectations. The recording proved a less than happy experience for Summer in part because she was pregnant with her daughter Amanda Grace at the time. On its 40th anniversary in 2022, Donna Summer's estate announced a re-issue of the album with one unreleased track, which was originally a B-side on the lead single.
