Driven by the Music

Donna Summer was an American singer, songwriter, pianist, painter, and actress. She was born on December 31, 1948 in Boston, Massachusetts and passed away on May 17, 2012 in Englewood, Florida at the age of 63 due to lung cancer. Known as the "Queen of Disco," "Boston Panther," and "First Lady of Love," Donna Summer gained her stage name from Helmut Sommer, an Austrian actor whom she was married to for two years. She had a daughter named Mimi Sommer with him. Donna's sisters are Dara Bernard and Mary Bernard. In 1980, she married Bruce Sudano and they have two daughters together: Brooklyn and Amanda Grace Sudano. In recognition of her contributions to music, Donna Summer was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 by Kelly Rowland.

Within a year of her ground-breaking Double-Album Bad Girls, Donna Summer left Casablanca Records to become the first Artist signed to the new Geffen Records label. The Wanderer was the first album released on the label. Legendary producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte remained at the helm. With standout tracks Looking Up, Cold Love, Who Do You Think You’re Foolin’ and Nightlife, The Wanderer continued Donna’s creative output. The Wanderer was released the year after the Disco Demolition Night event, which was held, ironically, two days before Bad Girls became a US #1 single and despite introducing more rock-infused dance / pop tunes - copied by many Artists through the 1980s - the album - which despite being another US Billboard Top 20 album with a #3 Single - has been under-appreciated...until now! At the same time, the Italian-American aggregation, Change, broke-out from the clubs and into the charts worldwide, with their sublime, slick and classy productions, which also featured and introduced the wider-world to Luther Vandross. 2020

For this 40th Anniversary edition, The Wanderer has been re-evaluated and now fuses-together 1980 with 2020, showcasing the strength of the album’s songs, with brand new remixes by the Italian production team behind Change and Artist / Producer / Remixer Le Flex. After years of silence, in 2018 Mauro Malavasi and Davide Romani resurrected Change with an album that retained their classic sound but with a contemporary twist, produced and mixed with the inhouse production team, Figo Sound, who were invited to remix two of Donna’s tracks. Figo Sound has created two contemporary radio-friendly tracks, with The Wanderer, retaining its shuffling beat and Looking Up, which firmly plants Donna Summer back on the Dancefloor!
