DONNA SUMMER: BORN AGAIN BAD GIRL
JIM FELDMAN
Linda Ronstadt had an early jump on the '70s and Olivia Newton-John's chart-andsales figures are undeniably impressive, but all things considered, Donna Summer was the most successful female artist of the last decade. Some of the all things being considered: In 1979, Summer became the first woman to have three # 1 pop hits (according to Billboard, whence come all my statistics) in one year—"Hot Stuff,"
"Bad Girls," and her duet with Barbra Streisand, "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)"; three double-albums in a row— Live And More, Bad Girls, and On The Radio, Volumes I & //—hit # 1 and went double platinum, triple platinum and platinum respectively.
