Bad Girls by Donna Summer

Bad Girls, Donna Summer's seventh studio album, first strutted out of Casablanca Records on April 25, 1979, as a double album, and in 2003 Universal gave it the deluxe treatment, remastered and expanded. Giorgio Moroder was behind the boards, and the record is disco at its most muscular and its most sly: "Hot Stuff" snarls like a rock record, the title track struts with a wink, and "Dim All the Lights" smolders until it catches fire.

It became the best seller and the most acclaimed album of her career, going platinum within a week and sitting atop the Billboard 200 for six weeks. "Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls" both hit number one, and when they shared the top three, Summer became the first woman ever to do that. "Hot Stuff" also won the first Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. It was her last studio album for Casablanca, and New Order later lifted part of "Our Love" for "Blue Monday".
