LaDonna Adrian Gaines (December 31, 1948 – May 17, 2012), known by her stage name Donna Summer, was an American singer, songwriter, and painter. She gained prominence during the disco era of the late-1970s. A five-time Grammy Award winner, she was the first artist to have three consecutive double albums reach No. 1 on the United States Billboard album chart and charted four number-one singles in the U.S. within a 12-month period. Summer has reportedly sold over 140 million records, making her one of the world's best-selling artists of all time.
While influenced by the counterculture of the 1960s, she became the front singer of a psychedelic rock band named Crow and moved to New York City. Joining a touring version of the musical Hair, she left New York and spent several years living, acting, and singing in Europe, where she met music producers, Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte.
Summer returned to the U.S., in 1975 with commercial success of the song 'Love to Love You Baby', followed by a string of other hits, such as "I Feel Love", "Last Dance", "MacArthur Park", "Heaven Knows", "Hot Stuff", "Bad Girls", "Dim All the Lights", "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" (duet with Barbra Streisand), and "On the Radio". She became known as the "Queen of Disco", while her music gained a global following.
S T A M P, stampin' on the ground
S T A M P, stampin' on the ground
S T A M P, stampin' on the ground
S T A M P
I've been 'round so many times before
Broke my back, been split open so oft
Tried to make it to the finish line
Been knocked down, get up every single time
They're up in your face, they don't think you belong
Man, you got it, you got it goin' on
What breaks the weak just makes you strong
You got game, baby, bring it on, bring it on
And I said stamp your feet on the ground
Make it really loud, make the biggest sound
You ain't goin'
Stamp your feet on the ground
Make it really loud
You ain't going, you ain't goin' down
Rain comes in every player's life
Gotta stay in the game, not on the sidelines
Gotta throw down, you gotta stand and fight
Keep your eye on the prize, don't get caught up in strife
Go, go for the shot boy, make that play just right
Braggin' about your swag won't get you through the night
I said stamp your feet on the ground
Make it really loud, make the biggest sound
You ain't goin'
Stamp your feet on the ground
Make it really loud
You ain't going, you ain't goin' down
Stamp your feet on the ground
Make it really loud, make the biggest sound
You ain't goin'
Stamp your feet on the ground
Make it really loud
You ain't goin', you ain't goin' down
S T A M P, you got game
Stamp it on the ground
S T A M P, you got fame
Stamp it on the ground
S T A M P, you got name
Stamp it on the ground
S T A M P, do that thang
We ain't going down, oh no
Make me proud, stand up and fight
You better stamp your feet on the ground
Make it really loud, make the biggest sound
You ain't goin'
Stamp your feet on the ground
Make it really loud
You ain't going, you ain't goin' down
Stamp your feet on the ground
Make it really loud, make the biggest sound
You ain't goin'
Stamp your feet on the ground
Make it really loud
You ain't goin', you ain't goin' down
S T A M P
(No, no, no, we ain't goin' down)
S T A M P
(No, no, no, we ain't goin' down)
Right till the ending, we'll make it through life
Better stamp your feet on the
