Donna Summer ~ Bad Girls 1979 Disco Purrfection Version

Donna's career was on the upswing when she scored her first #1 pop hit with a disco version of the 60's "MacArthur Park" spent three weeks at the top. She was acutely aware of the trends in music and felt that her next album should be more rock influenced to separate herself from the plague of unimaginative soundalike productions that used the same formula as "MacArthur Park". The first song she wrote was "Bad Girls" which Casablanca President Neil Bogart suggested she hand off to Cher which Donna adamantly refused to do and held her ground. She had written "Bad Girls" after her secretary told her that on her way to her lunches she was approached by men looking for sex on Sunset Blvd where Casablanca Records was located. "I guess because my secretary was black, they accosted her and harassed her, it really upset me." she said and turned it into disco gold! She went into the studio jamming with the band ad libbing and they completed "Bad Girls". Donna felt that "it was time to incorporate some other elements into the music. It was getting a little bit boring, with the strings and all that. I've always liked rock and roll music, so I wanted to give it a little bit of an edge." "Hot Stuff" entered the chat on April 21, 1979 at #79, but the Bee Gees "Love You Inside Out" was the highest new entry that week at #37. "Hot Stuff" spent five weeks at the top and during that time Casablanca decided to help Donna's assault on the charts by releasing "Bad Girls" while "Hot Stuff" was at #2. Conventional wisdom would have waited until the first song started dropping down the chart, but Donna's fire was burning so bright that it only made both songs so popular. The following week "Hot Stuff" was #1 but dropped to #2 the next week when the Bee Gees came calling. No matter! For the week of June 23, 1979 when "Hot Stuff" returned to #1, "Bad Girls" entered the top #5 and Donna set a record for having two songs in the Top 5 at the same time. The Beatles hold the world record when they occupied the top 5 spots on the Hot100 the week of April 1, 1964. "Bad Girls" spent a total of five weeks at #1 pop and became her only single to top the Pop and R&B charts. The summer of 1979 was the most heated disco was ever to get and it was a long hot one until the heat drove many crazy and the disco backlash began on July 12, 1979 at Comiskey Park in Chicago at half time of a double header baseball game. The music that was bringing everyone together was being murdered by rock and roll, a genre known for creating the generation gap.
