The greatest female artist ever. She was definitely the lady of the 70s and 80s. Is a shame she was pretty much after Another Time and Place.

I think part of the problem was....Donna liked to do many styles of music and she didn’t want to be placed in a box.This,of course,prevented many radio stations from playing sone of her singles.Her 1991 single “When Love Cries” is one of the finest songs she’s ever done but it was completely ignored.”When people don’t know where to put you,sometimes they simply put you out”,she said.

When Love Cries and Heaven's Just A Whisper away are the only good tracks from that awful album Mistaken Identity in my opinion.

The problem is that she didn't have a record label after 1991ish era I believe and throughout the 90, 00s and 10s she was just releasing dance singles. If you read her old interviews dating back as early as 1994 she always told them that she is working on a new album and she kept saying this until she unfortunately passed away but no materials at all with the exception of Mistaken Identity and Crayons.

Which is why her career was... Pretty much irrelevant after Another Time and Place. It robbed a whole new generation of fans sadly. I wish she made new albums because as much as I love listening to her old work throughout the 70s-80s... It gets boring 🤣. When you read and find out that certain albums were up for a release like this album called Angel or Ordinary Broadway Girl but it was all changed and never released... Kinda depressing if you ask me lol. I wouldn't be surprised if the millennial generation discovered her after she died. But is a shame man. But it is what it is I suppose.

She was just a touring artist at that point to be honest

I didnt like "Crayons" at all. I dont remember much about it. I just know I didnt like any of the songs. Donna deserved better.

kitbradley said:

Yeah... Both albums are questionable. Some like it, some think it sucks

kitbradley said:

It felt like she was trying to keep up with other artists, but it still sounded youthful to me

Your comment there is a perfect description about Prince and his awful 90s era

JayCrawford said:

I think I would rank that better than princes 90s material, I only like some of that, not all

alphastreet said:

Same here. Even though Summer was irrelevant then musically at least she wasn't doing some desperate trend chasing garbage... Remember My Name Is Prince? 🤣🤣

JayCrawford said:

Actually my name is prince is one of the few 90s songs of his I really like.

alphastreet said:

Oh LOL fair enough.

JayCrawford said:

I keep hoping that the unreleased ‘Angel’ album is finally taken out of the vaults and released.She was working on it in 1999/2000.She was working with the producers who produced Cher’s massive hit single “Believe”.

I heard it was suppose to be out in 2000. Man If Donna Summer couldn't dominate the 90s, the 00s could have been her other dominance period in my opinion. Could have revived her career to the millennial generation.
