Aquarius ( Let The Sunshine In ) - Donna Summer ( Hair - The Musical )
While influenced by the counterculture of the 1960s as a teen, Donna Summer became the lead singer of a psychedelic rock band named Crow and moved to New York City. Summer stayed in New York and auditioned for a role in the counterculture musical, Hair. She landed the part of Sheila, and agreed to take the role in the Munich, Germany production of the show, moving there after getting her parents' reluctant approval. Summer eventually became fluent in German, singing various songs in that language, and participated in the musicals Ich bin ich (the German version of The Me Nobody Knows), Godspell, and Show Boat. Within three years, she moved to Vienna, Austria, and joined the Vienna Volksoper. In 1968, Summer released (as Donna Gaines) on Polydor her first single, a German version of the title "Aquarius" from the musical Hair. It was in Europe where she met music producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. Summer returned to the U.S., in 1975 after the commercial success of the song "Love to Love You Baby", which was followed by a string of other hits, such as "I Feel Love", "Last Dance", "MacArthur Park", "Heaven Knows", "Hot Stuff", "Bad Girls", "Dim All the Lights", "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" (duet with Barbra Streisand), and "On the Radio". She became known as the "Queen of Disco", while her music gained a global following. From her humble beginnings in the musical Hair, to success and superstardom in the disco era and beyond, Summer is still remembered (Rest In Peace) and adored by fans worldwide.
