“I know how important it was for her… being respected as a songwriter was always the thing that she felt was overlooked”: Donna Summer is inducted posthumously into Songwriters’ Hall Of Fame

It’s been announced that Donna Summer was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall Of Fame in a ceremony that took place last week.

Other inductees were Taylor Swift, LL Cool J and David Byrne. This year’s non-performing entrant was Pete Bellotte, who of course was Summer’s co-writer (along with Giorgio Moroder) on all of Summer’s classic run of hits in the 1970s.
