Paul Williams, a recipient of the Hall of Fame\u2019s prestigious Johnny Mercer Award back in 2022, inducted Summer himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cDonna Summer is not only one of the defining voices and performers of the 20th century; she is one of the great songwriters of all time who changed the course of music,\u201d Williams said in a statement. \u201cShe wrote timeless and transcendent songs that continue to captivate our souls and imaginations, inspiring the world to dance and, above all, feel love. I am pleased and honored to posthumously induct Donna Summer into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tSummer is regarded as one of the greatest singers and performers of all time, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction is just her latest posthumous honor since she died of lung cancer in 2012 at age 63. She was also inducted into the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame back in 2013, with Kelly Rowland inducting her. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s important to me because I know how important it was for\u00a0Donna,\u201d Bruce Sudano said of Summer being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame this week. \u201cThe backstory is, with all the accolades that she received over her career, being respected as a songwriter was always the thing that she felt was overlooked. So for her to be accepted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame I know that she\u2019s very happy\u2026 somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Disco icon Donna Summer has been posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the organization announced on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":453138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[207891,171,975,162728,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-453137","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-donna-summer","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-music","11":"tag-songwriters-hall-of-fame","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115734754449641841","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
