"She Works Hard For The Money"
Opening Lines: She works hard for the money, so hard for it, honey, She works hard for the money, so you better treat her right.
Comments: 1983's "She Works Hard For The Money" was Donna Summer's biggest hit since 1979's "No More Tears" duet with Barbra Streisand. In the interim she had moved to Geffen records from Casablanca records, and then made a further move to Polydor records (but ended up in a contractual dispute with Geffen record owner, David Geffen, and had to record an lp, "She Works Hard For The Money", on Polydor that some of the proceeds went to Geffen), became a born again Christian and had to see and hear a changing pop music industry that had gone away from Disco to at first a Harder Rock sound and then to New Wave. In that manner, Summer's first top ten hit in the New Wave era was "Love Is In Control (Finger On The Trigger)" from the fall of 1982, it fit in perfectly at time when the big names on the charts were the Go-Go's, Men At Work, the Human League and the Motels. In 1983, and maybe because of the contractual dispute with Geffen, "She Works Hard For The Money" on Polydor was even more fitting in with the times when the big pop names changed even more to such artists as the Eurythmics, the Culture Club and Duran Duran, as well as Michael Jackson. "She Works Hard For The Money" was released in late summer 1983 and quickly went to #3 and partly on the basis of a wonderful video. After this Summer would continue to have some minor hits, until the top ten hit of 1989, "This Time I Know It's For Real" (which sounded the most like her Disco hits of old than any song had in years). Summer has continued to record and go on concert from time to time.

| "On The Radio"
Opening Lines: Someone found a letter you wrote me, on the radio, And they told the world just how you felt.
Comments: "On The Radio" was a top five hit for Summer in the spring of 1980, and would be her last hit on the Casablanca records label before she went to a more lucrative contract with Geffen records. "On The Radio" was from the "On The Radio, Greatest Hits, Volume 1 & 2" lp and also contains the #1 November 1979 hit duo that Summer had with Barbra Streisand, "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)". Shortly after the success with the single of "On The Radio" Summer left Casablanca for Geffen and then became a Born Again Christian. Summer continued to have some slight success with tunes, for a time on Geffen, but none of the tunes went into the top ten. By this time such groups as Pat Benatar, the Pretenders, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Journey and REO Speedwagon were taking pop music back to it's rock music foundations of the 1950's and 1960's and Disco was dying a slow death due to it's excesses and a changing audience. Donna was relegated to the sidelines at this time, but not for long as Donna was starting to listen to some of the new dance synthesizer pop called New Wave by groups such as the Go-Go's, the Human League, and Duran Duran were starting to become popular.
