Summer released her first single in Europe in 1971 on MCA Records and was credited with her maiden name Donna Gaines. "Denver Dream," released in 1974 was her first single release on which she was credited as Donna Summer. The following is a list of singles released in Europe leading up to her signing to Casablanca Records in 1975:

As Donna Summer

1 Denotes that the song was released as a single in the United Kingdom.

2 "Love To Love You Baby" was Summer's first single release in the USA, on Oasis Records, which would join forces with Casablanca to distribute Summer's work.

[edit] Rights to her work in recent years

In 1998, PolyGram was sold to - and then merged with the Universal Music Group, the successors to MCA. This meant that all of Summer's work with Casablanca, Geffen, and Mercury was now all owned by one company. In 2006, Summer herself retained the rights to her Geffen material. Warner Music Group continues to hold on to her Atlantic-era material, and her work with Epic is now owned by Sony BMG.
