Which singer was known as the “Queen of Disco” after hits such as “I Feel Love”?

Donna Summer was known as the “Queen of Disco,” especially after hits such as “I Feel Love.”

Summer became one of disco’s most successful singers during the 1970s. Her major recordings included “Love to Love You Baby,” “Last Dance,” “MacArthur Park,” “Hot Stuff,” and “Bad Girls.” Her powerful voice and the use of extended dance arrangements made her a central figure in the genre’s mainstream rise.

“I Feel Love,” released in 1977, was produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. Its repetitive Moog synthesizer bass line and electronic production gave disco a futuristic sound and influenced later electronic, dance, and pop music.

Summer won five Grammy Awards and became the first artist to have three consecutive double albums reach number one on the Billboard 200. Although she later worked in rock, gospel, and pop, her disco recordings established the nickname most closely associated with her.
