Donna Summer recorded Bad Girls in 1979 as a double album across four sides of vinyl — fifteen tracks produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte in Los Angeles. Hot Stuff, the lead single, was unlike anything she had recorded before: a rock guitar riff from ex-Doobie Brother Jeff ‘Skunk’ Baxter slammed into a four-on-the-floor disco pulse, and it hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The title track followed it straight to the top. Bad Girls was the fourth best-selling album of 1979 in the United States, and it remains the most complete document of what peak-era disco sounded like when its most commanding voice was given a double album and a budget to match her ambition.
