Recent Releases and Honors
In March, Summer’s daughter, Brooklyn Sudano, and Oscar-winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams co-directed a documentary about the performer, titled Love To Love You, Donna Summer. Sudano reflected on her mother’s legacy, saying "I think for me it was really understanding just how intense her stardom felt to her and how much of a struggle balancing that with motherhood and identity….The amount of appreciation, the amount of grace, the amount of respect that I have for her is bananas now, and it goes beyond."
In addition to the documentary, Summer released a new EP titled Any Way At All earlier this year. The EP includes "Any Way At All," a medley of "Dim All The Lights," "Hot Stuff," "Bad Girls," and "Last Dance," as well as a Masters at Work 86th Street Radio Edit of "I Feel Love." The same month saw the release of a new EP featuring four remixes of the 1983 hit "She Works Hard for the Money" by DJ John Michael Peloton.
