Documentary on Donna Summer, Queen of Disco, Premieres on HBO Max

A documentary titled 'Love to Love You' about Donna Summer, the iconic 'Queen of Disco' who died in 2012, will premiere on HBO Max on May 20. Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams and Summer's daughter Brooklyn Sudano, the film takes its name from Summer's 1975 hit 'Love to Love You Baby,' a 17-minute erotic track produced with Giorgio Moroder that was banned from radio but became a dancefloor success. The documentary explores Summer's stage performances, her acting approach to singing, and her groundbreaking role as the first Black woman to have a music video on MTV. It features unseen archival footage and interviews with collaborators and friends. Moroder describes their collaboration as 'the beginning of electronic music,' citing the influential track 'I Feel Love.' Summer, born LaDonna Adrian Gaines in Boston, challenged societal norms and separated her public and private personas.
