Donna Summer was known as the ‘Queen of Disco’, but her incredible career, laid out in seventeen studio albums, amounts to so much more than that. Besides being a remarkable singer, Donna was a gifted songwriter and an exceptional live performer whose legacy is impossible to quantify. Starting out as a ‘musical theatre refugee’ in Germany in the late 1960s, she was propelled to stardom in the 1970s with classic disco hits such as ‘Love To Love You Baby’, ‘Last Dance’, ‘Bad Girls’, ‘Hot Stuff’, and the undisputed greatest dance song of all time, 1977’s ‘I Feel Love’. In the 1980s she successfully teamed up with the legendary Quincy Jones and British hitmakers Stock Aitken Waterman, and in her later years she embraced EDM and club sounds. Her death came far too early in 2012 at the age of 63. Donna Summer: Song by Song examines every song she released as an artist across her six decades of writing and performing, as well as analysing music videos, album covers and remixes, and touching on her personal story and the controversies that dogged certain periods of her life.
Prima Donna: The Psychology of Maria Callas explores the psychological mechanisms underlying the hypnotic power of Callas's artistry and the unfolding of her tragic life story. Although precipitated by the trauma and shame that followed her abandonment by Aristotle Onassis and the rapid deterioration of her voice, Callas's midlife disintegration reflects deep psychological vulnerabilities. In this book, Wink utilizes cutting-edge advances in research on developmental psychology and narcissism to shed light on Callas's puzzling personal deterioration during the last nine years of her life. Lacking a cohesive and integrated sense of self, Callas sought affirmation and vitality from adoring audiences and older men including her husband Battista Meneghini and her long-term partner Onassis. The propensity to fuse her identity with stage roles contributed to her artistic greatness, but envy and the lack of an intrinsic sense of meaning and worth intensified her vulnerability to life's vicissitudes. Prima Donna is both a powerful study of Callas's life and a contribution to the greater body of work on the psychology of artists.
