Ordinary Girl is legendary singersongwriter Donna Summers delightfully candid memoir about her journey from singing in a Boston church to her unexpected reign as the Queen of Discoand the tragedy and spiritual rebirth that followed.Donna Summer was born on New Years Eve in Boston. Her childhood was filled with music. Inspired by Mahalia Jackson, she began singing in church choirs at the age of ten. A few years later she joined a Boston rock group, and by the end of the 1960s she was living the life of an artist in New York Citys Greenwich Village.Soon after, Donna left the United States to join the German cast of Hair. She was still in her teens, a shy, ordinary girl who was suddenly feeling the jolt of the sexual revolution. She lived in Germany for seven and a half years, modeling, acting, falling in love, getting married, and giving birth to a daughter. She met a producer named Giorgio Moroder, and together they created a song called Love to Love You Baby. It became one of the worlds premier disco hits.Donna Summer returned to America as a star, a sex goddess who bore little resemblance to her own sense of who she was. She describes what that personal transformation felt like from the whitehot center of the disco era, and how, over the next two decades, it contributed to a sometimes harrowing spiritual journey.With heart and humor, Donna Summer relives the decadent days of disco and shows how she transcended them. This is the inspiring tale of an ordinary girl on an extraordinary journey.
