#28: Donna Summer
Before EDM, before club queens, there was Donna Summer—disco’s high priestess with a voice that shimmered like glitter on vinyl. She wasn’t just dancefloor royalty; she was opera in sequins. I Feel Love wasn’t just a song—it was the future, synthesized and sensual, co-created with Giorgio Moroder and light-years ahead of its time.

But Donna could go from breathy seduction to gospel fire in a single phrase. Her runs were smooth, her tone rich, her impact seismic. She gave disco its soul, its sophistication. And long after the mirror balls stopped spinning, her echo still pulses in every beat drop.
