Donna Summer: She Works Hard For The Money/Diana Ross: Ross
Gavin Martin, NME, 16 July 1983
DONNA SUMMER has adopted a succession of irresistible role models the sex Goddess of Moroder's sensual motorik disco, the modern day Cinderella of 'Once Upon A Time', the sassy supervamp of 'Bad Girls' and my heart turned to putty once more when I saw the cover of her LP. There she is lovely Donna, sweet, glowing magnificent Donna an angel in white, a soda pop waitress who looks like she's about to break Dion Di Mucci's wayward heart.
