Another huge #1 on the Hot 100 for Summer in 1979.

One of my favorite songs of all time by Donna Summer has to be "Hot Stuff". It is the perfect blend of thumping disco mixed in with a rock vibe and great guitar solo. The song has proven to be one of her top hits, hitting number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1979 and being revived in popularity for a few more times. One of my favorites was in the movie THE MARTIAN where the lone astronaut is stuck on the planet and the only music he has to listen to is disco. For his sanity he was lucky enough to get this rock tinged gem. And now the song has been revived again with a new remix by Kygo. Way to go Donna Summer!

You definitely touched on where it made the difference in disco with its rock elements. Donna also won the Grammy for Best Female Rock Performance that year.
I like this song best mixed in the 12" version with "Bad Girls".

I'll defer to FreakyFlyBry if we can actually merge them. I think the practice in past has been to bump the older one and include the link to the older one in the new one, and then lock the new one. Good catch since the other was in 2012!

Was I supposed to look for a thread that was almost 10 years old before I posted? It discourages me to do these going forward. I came back looking for my original post and was surprised to find it missing. I had to do a search to find it again. Errrr.....

It's a good practice to search this forum for an older song, in the event that there may have already been a post in the last 17 years. In this case if you searched "Donna Summer" it would just give those posts about her songs. If not, another member or mod may catch it.
