"Hot Stuff" is a song by American singer Donna Summer, released in 1979 as the first single release from her Bad Girls album through Casablanca Records. Up to that point, Summer had mainly been associated with disco songs but this song also showed a significant rock direction, including a guitar solo by ex-Doobie Brother and Steely Dan guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. It is one of her most popular songs, based on the performance on the Billboard Hot 100.
"Hot Stuff" won Summer the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance in the inaugural year the award was given out. In 2010, the song was ranked #104 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
Queen of Disco Donna Summer went rock 'n roll on Hot Stuff, and she did it with a vengeance. This is one of the hardest-rocking singles of the 1970s, and one of the most salaciously sexual, as Donna's vocal positively drips with desperate desire and physical need; the lady wants it, and will not take "no" for an answer.
