Description

She Works Hard for the Money is the eleventh studio album by Donna Summer, released in 1983. This album became her biggest hit of the decade and produced a US top three single with the title track. This very good condition copy has been hand signed by Donna Summer on the front cover in black ink.  Summer was credited with writing or co-writing every track on the album, mostly alongside Michael Omartian, who was also the album’s producer. It became her first Top 10 album in the U.S. since 1979 and produced a massively successful hit single in the form of the title track. The sleeve of the single and album pictured Summer as a waitress who “works hard for the money” and the song was a tribute to “the working woman.” It was accompanied by a high-profile music video which became heavily promoted on MTV, soon after the breakthrough of Michael Jackson’s success on the channel, leading the way for other black artists to be played. The song shot to Number 3 on the Hot 100 American singles chart, making it her biggest hit there since “The Wanderer” three years previously. The song was also given a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Several singles were released from the album, including “Unconditional Love” which gave Summer her fourteenth U.K. Top 20 hit (and also a #9 placing on the U.S. R&B chart), followed by the more moderate hits including “Stop, Look and Listen” and the soulful duet “Love Has A Mind Of Its Own” (#35 R&B)with Matthew Ward. The song “He’s A Rebel” gained Summer the Grammy award for Best Inspirational Performance, her first win since 1979.
