'Lady of the night' was the first album by American singer Donna Summer. The album, which was produced by Pete Bellotte, was released in 1974 only in The Netherlands, and spawned the minor European hit singles 'The hostage' and 'Lady of the night'.The latter was released in the autumn of 1974, and reached number 4 in the Dutch Top 40. The track was written by Pete Bellotte and Giorgio Moroder but didn't sound at all like Donna Summer's next hit, 'Love to love you', released the next year.

"Love To Love You Baby" wasn't her next hit. In-between the "Lady Of The Night" album and "Love To Love You Baby", was her single "Virgin Mary" which was a hit in the same territories "The Hostage" and "Lady Of The Night" were, but again not in the UK or US. "Virgin Mary" only made it onto one 1977 greatest hits album and has yet to see a release on cd.
