Shout It OutDonna Summer

Songwriter: Richard Palmer-James Veit Marvos

You open up this heart of mine
You see beyond this restless mind
There's so much magic in this day

I wanna shout it out
I wanna laugh out loud
I wanna shout it out

The everlasting gaze you have
The love of everything you share
There's so much magic in this day

I wanna shout it out
I wanna laugh out loud
I wanna shout it out

This love is hurling me across the world
This love is leaving me dazed in this new world

Close up you don't even see it
Close up you don't even hear it
Right up you don't even know it
You never say you don't even see it
Escalating
Racing on

Open up open up

This love is hurling me across the world
This love is leaving me dazed in this new world

I wanna shout it out
I wanna laugh out loud
I wanna shout it out

Donna Summer

As the unquestioned queen of disco, the one and only Donna Summer lit up the late 70s and 80s with flashy, exuberant vocals and automatic earworms. Born LaDonna Adrian Gaines on Dec. 31, 1948, Summer moved to Germany after being cast in a Munich production of Hair. There, she happened to meet Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and the trio conglomerated to form a dynamic music team. With Moroder, Summer forged together her first album, The Hostage, which reached moderate success in Northern Europe. Summer’s big break, however, would come later with the release of 1975’s sexual “Love to Love You Baby”, which became one of disco’s first mainstream hits and reached #2 on the Billboard Charts.

1977 came around with the concept album I Remember Yesterday, which featured the Top 10 single “I Feel Love”. The next year, Summer hit the silver screen with the movie Thank God It’s Friday, whose soundtrack featured one of her own the iconic “Last Dance.” This would later become one of the disco legends' signature songs. “Dance” would take home an Academy Award for Best Original Song, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe, and it jumped to a peak of #3 on the charts.

Yet Summer’s illustrious career was far from finished – Summer’s first live album Live and More featured the single “MacArthur Park”, a melting ballad that was a cover of the Jimmy Webb ballad of the same name. “Park” became Summer’s first – and perhaps most memorable – No. 1 hit, and cemented her status as a vocalist as well as a performer. With the track, she became the first female in modern rock history to hold the top spot in both the Hot 100 and the Billboard 200. 1979, though, would really be the peak of her career.
