A lot of bands and artists that are in the hall of fame should not be there, and a lot of bands and artists that should be there ain't there, but if ever there was someone who had the right to be there, it's donna summer, we all know her for the disco or euro-dance songs, but she had in her albums a lot of rock songs, some off them with sax solos and some with blazing guitar solos, musically, she was the most interesting female singer and she was the best, thanks for sharing
Wonderful, insightful comments! I think everyone who is actually old enough to have experienced Donna throughout the 70's and 80's realizes just how influential both her music and image were on pop culture.
they waited too too long for that induction. I wish she had been alive to receive it. she rose & shined in a genre of music where no one could top her. yes, she belongs in there folks. GO DONNA!!!
Just call me when rap will be considered as music ; that will be the evidence that america has sunk into a cultural nightmare and a third world country .
Wow.......you are so wrong!!!!! Donna started her music career in a rock band called Crow. Then toured with the rock musical "Hair". She did back up session work with the rock band Three Dog Night. Although Donna's career would take off as a disco artist, she changed the direction of pop music with the song I Feel Love. Her roots were firmly in gospel and rock. In 1980, she won the very first Grammy in the Rock Female performance category with the song Hot Stuff. She then released The wanderer.
The Wanderer was a rock/gospel album that Rolling Stone magazine gave 5 stars. Their highest award. She was once again nominated in the rock female category for the song Cold Love (from The Wanderer). In 1982 Bruce Springsteen wrote and recorded a duet with Donna called Protection. She ended up using the solo version for her album entitled Donna Summer. It too would be nominated in the rock female performance category. Madonna is there and never recorded a rock song in her whole life.
THIS IS STRAIGHT FROM WIKIPEDIA ABOUT THE SONG HOT STUFF. THE SONG WAS RELEASED IN 1979: Awards and recognition "Hot Stuff" won Summer the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance in the inaugural year the award was given out. In 2004, the song was ranked No. 104 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".[6]
Just because a person isn't known for doing rock, doesn't mean they haven't done rock. What matters is that Donna DID make rock records. Madonna, Abba and Aretha Franklin never did a rock song and they're in the hall of fame. They've done dance and R&B. Have you ever listened to Donna's album The Wanderer? A straight ahead rock record that got 5 stars from Rolling Stone magazine. Play some of these songs here on TH-cam: Cold Love Running For Cover Protection Breakdown 3 Grammy noms & 1 win
For me was very disrespectful for a singer of her caliber after five nominations,been inducted postmorten. Hot stuff Best rock vocals, The wanderer, Protection. When a lot of second hand singer have been inducted. Music industry is unfair.
Makes me angry and upset...after Donna summer has passed away...she's inducted..into the rock n roll hall of fame ..it's America ...I suppose... Melanie 32 ❤️🌈

Donna Summer is a unique person of the music, an odd talent. another had never existed, each in his time, more in my opinion Donna and my favorite!
I think Donna did every genre of music except rap! She deserves to be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!

ABBA never did a rock song ????
I think The Wanderer is my favorite album of hers, but very tight in the running is Bad Girls. Hard to choose
@@dreasbn Sure they did. Who said they didn't? I guess most people would classify those songs as pop/rock but that definitely counts
@@lamusiclover2264 Don Lee in his post I was answering to
@@dreasbn oh I'm sorry, that's why I really wanted to reply to. I totally agree with you
So deserving 👏 ❤
