- Donna's career was on the upswing when she scored her first #1 pop hit with a disco version of the 60's "MacArthur Park" spent three weeks at the top. She was acutely aware of the trends in music and felt that her next album should be more rock influenced to separate herself from the plague of unimaginative soundalike productions that used the same formula as "MacArthur Park".
The first song she wrote was "Bad Girls" which Casablanca President Neil Bogart suggested she hand off to Cher which Donna adamantly refused to do and held her ground. She had written "Bad Girls" after her secretary told her that on her way to her lunches she was approached by men looking for sex on Sunset Blvd where Casablanca Records was located. "I guess because my secretary was black, they accosted her and harassed her, it really upset me." she said and turned it into disco gold!
She went into the studio jamming with the band ad libbing and they completed "Bad Girls". Donna felt that "it was time to incorporate some other elements into the music. It was getting a little bit boring, with the strings and all that. I've always liked rock and roll music, so I wanted to give it a little bit of an edge."
"Hot Stuff" entered the chat on April 21, 1979 at #79, but the Bee Gees "Love You Inside Out" was the highest new entry that week at #37. "Hot Stuff" spent five weeks at the top and during that time Casablanca decided to help Donna's assault on the charts by releasing "Bad Girls" while "Hot Stuff" was at #2. Conventional wisdom would have waited until the first song started dropping down the chart, but Donna's fire was burning so bright that it only made both songs so popular.
The following week "Hot Stuff" was #1 but dropped to #2 the next week when the Bee Gees came calling. No matter! For the week of June 23, 1979 when "Hot Stuff" returned to #1, "Bad Girls" entered the top #5 and Donna set a record for having two songs in the Top 5 at the same time. The Beatles hold the world record when they occupied the top 5 spots on the Hot100 the week of April 1, 1964.
"Bad Girls" spent a total of five weeks at #1 pop and became her only single to top the Pop and R&B charts. The summer of 1979 was the most heated disco was ever to get and it was a long hot one until the heat drove many crazy and the disco backlash began on July 12, 1979 at Comiskey Park in Chicago at half time of a double header baseball game. The music that was bringing everyone together was being murdered by rock and roll, a genre known for creating the generation gap. - Hudba
This is the song I bought a whistle to blow in the clubs lol. We all did. It was the thing to do; we all wanted to be like everyone else. Although most of us weren't what you would call bad girls; we thought we all knew one. And when we danced to this one we thought of them. Donna Summer really hit it on the head with this one. She really got the hum of the era with this song. Everybody was out to have a good time according to what they thought it was. Yea, it was different era for sure. 💣
And I still have mine hung on the dresser to help Me remember My Youth..
No doubt, for me its the voice, and supporting bass line,,,
Culture quest America looking for a Bad Girl
☘️
Wish I was from that’s era !!
same date (7/12/1979), Minnie Riperton died, Anita Ward on nr 1.... the night disco died...but it's still live, Steve Dahl thought his promotion gag would be a great idea...to get rock heard again. for a long time there was only r&b and funk... hardly any disco beats ... quality but in the long run, people want to dance, so disco has been back for 25 years and everyone likes it (99 per cent)
Donna Summer was in a league of her own… A very talented, vibrant songstress… Everything she did I loved!
some people may not know that but she was in a few episodes of FAMILY MATTERS playing SU's aunt!!!
@@richardboudeman8372 Thank you I didn't know that. I'll have to look for that. Will never forget her. Love her so much. I think she was super cool 😎.
@@alanclark5918 i probably knew it at time but it was on from 89-98. i recently watched the entire show again on tbs. it also featured some of the big R&B stars of the time.
Written by Donna and her hubby, Bruce Sudano. Tour of NY or DC or LA nite life. Considered wild and outrageous, but ok for that time, disco galore. Good tempo and best whistle since The Break. Ultra sexy. The trance mystique. Thanks, Donna. Vive les disco freaks ....
I LOVE THIS VERSION WITH THE CONGOS AND THE BONGOS
Brilliant mix. Remember when this was played in nightclubs, the floor was packed. Summer made the summers hot.
I was 4 years old in 1979...but I remember this song and the toot toot part. Of course I had no business singing it... ut at 4 I had no clue...but it was a monster hit from the Queen Donna! She was a Goddess it seemed...
This is a nice remix. Some disco songs like this one had amazing rhythm sections. Donna, was definitely the 👑 of the era.😊
This one of my FAVORITES by Donna Summer!! ❤❤ I wish I was a teen or an adult at the time of this song to truly enjoy it. I was a kid in '79 to truly appreciate this song!!😂😂
the great donna summer, queen of disco ❤💛💚
The way, Donna Summers looked. She was definitely my style!❤❤❤
Hell Yeah!!!!!!!! Donna!!!!!! Im 70 ! Still Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!
A classic revisited with perfection! 🙌🙌🙌Thank you and Bravo DJDiscoCat. The Queen of Disco is here to stay...🕺😎

Do you wanna get down?! God I miss the extraordinary Donna Summer! Great voice, songstress. They wanna be a STAR! Did not know Donna wrote this!
I still have my 7 crates of 70s disco
Music..nothing better ! Today's music. SUCKS !!!
I agree with you that none of today's music even comes close to the greatness of Disco. I still play all of my disco records LOUDLY, just to show the kids how truly hot this music is. Classics that really stand the test of time. That brought all people together and made going out with friends to dance an adventure.
@@rickyhinesmon4109 absolutely! How many of these over rated singers would have an album out without auto tune ?
@@juliocaban465 Yes! That certainly is the beauty of Disco, the singers, bands and the musical arrangements of the songs take you to a place no other music can touch.
This is Awesome remix Donna summer would be proud 👍
I would never take the place of donna summers. But i heard we had alot in common when it can down to being career girls💃❤️🔥🉐🍪
1979 Female Artist: Donna Summer
#1's she racked up that year: Hot Stuff, Bad Girls, Enough is Enough
Great upload. Dona Summer ❤️ ❤️
Why am I hearing this nearly 40 years later? Sooo good. Keeps you on the dance floor. Disco Purrfection does us a WONDERFUL service. I never knew such wonderful versions existed of our favorites. Donna IS my favorite female vocalist but this brother features ALL the artists. I heard a version of "Of the Wall" that blew my mind. Enjoy.
Donna Summer ahead of her time!

Awesome remix.
My favorite song thanks DJ Disco❤️👍
thank you thank you thank you !🪘
👑❤👑❤💃💃🔥
Really good rendition, esp for instrumentals. I'll always remember being 13 years old in the summer of 1979, when this song was at the top of the charts. And the neighborhood tween girls would sing and dance to this song on the sidewalk, and sometimes into the street, when we boys would play street football.
Thank you, THANK YOU DJDC! I have the faithful old Kenwood tooting and thumping this A
Awesome remix.
Me encanta
Uuuuuuhhh que cancion.....la disco 💃🕺
Excelente , música disco por siempre.
Was my firs álbum y my love 💓
Purrfection. A DiscoCat version of "Take Me" or "Dance into my Life" would be super Purrfect!
Soo good there ought to be a vice ordinance against it somewhere...
