Island Def Jam/UMeThis week, previews for Summer: The Donna Summer Musical begin at New York City’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, so what better time to revisit the late disco legend’s back catalog?
April 20 sees the release of Summer: The Original Hits, which rounds up all of Donna’s biggest songs. It’s designed as a companion to the musical, which officially opens April 23.
The 18-track collection features such classics as “I Feel Love,” “MacArthur Park,” “On the Radio,” “Last Dance,” “Hot Stuff,” “Bad Girls” and “She Works Hard for the Money.” Also included is Summer’s German-language version of “White Boys” from the musical Hair, which she recorded while she was in the German cast of the musical.
The deluxe version of the package adds two more tracks: the “Rosabel’s Radio Mix” of “MacArthur Park,” which was a #1 dance hit in 2013, and a brand-new remix of “Hot Stuff.”
Summer died in 2012, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.
