There are a couple of them... - Donna Summer: This lady is like a monster diva (and no, not referring to Aretha Franklin...) but she made it huge with the orgasmic "Love To Love You Baby", the intense "Hot Stuff" and "She Works Hard For the Money", the mountainous if not lyrically silly "MacArthur Park" and disco anthem "Last Dance"; she had about 14 no. 1 hits and well reknowned for her magnificient mezzo-soprano vocal prowess that showcased talent on songs like "MacArthur Park", "Hot Stuff", and "On The Radio." She had a successful 80s career after disco's decline but slipped into the history books by the 90s. - Bee Gees: Well reknowned for the main contributors to the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtracks and for their feminine falsetto/countertenor singing, the Bee Gees are another famous group that were known for their flamboyant star suits and their soft rock feel. - Barry White: This dude's voice was so deep that I think it rattled my houses walls at one point! Barry White only had six number one hits but his voice is well known every- where in the world. And he was cruelly labeled "The Walrus of Love" due to his obese status and his overtly sexual monologues during his steamier songs. - ABBA: The ones behind "Dancing Queen", "The Winner Takes It All", and "Mamma Mia"; ABBA was more EuroPop than disco singers but it was hard not to 'jive' to their trademark songs even if they failed to make it big in America. - Gloria Gaynor: She is known for that one song, a woman's anthem and you guessed it, "I Will Survive." This was her biggest hits and while she came out with a handful of Top 20 hits, this song was her limelight moment. - LaBelle: Face it, everybody knows Patti LaBelle and while her band LaBelle did not make it real big before Patti had a monstrous solo career filled with quiet storm/soul hits, that one song "Lady Marmalade" is always gonna have that enchanting if not intense vibe to it and should always be mentioned in a paper on the whole disco fad. - Grace Jones: At one point called "The Queen of Gay Discos" due to her extremely masculine appearance and contralto voice. She tended to not dress up when she performed, instead performing in polygon shapes and neon paint that would cover her vital areas. Her "costumes" are ones good to wonder if Lady Gaga was influenced by such. While Grace never did make it huge with only 3-4 number one hits, she is better known as the femme fatale May Day in the grossly underrated Bond movie "A View To A Kill." Hopefully, this helped. Other mentions should include Thelma Houston, The Jacksons and Sylvester.
