I Saw The Light: Celebs Who Left The Entertainment Industry Behind For Jesus
Donna Summer
The late “Hot Stuff” and “Bad Girls” singer became a born-again Christian at the height of her popularity. She wanted to stop singing a lot of the sexually charged music she became popular for, but was afraid she would lose her fans.
“If I have to perform those songs, it’s part of the weight I have to carry because of the wrong I’ve done. I have to acknowledge that I built this bed and I’ve gotta lay in it. There will come a time when I won’t have to ever do those things again. But it’s like the old remnants that you still have to clear out of your house. You can’t clean your house in one day so I’m going about it methodically.
I think that if I were to do an about-face and do spiritual songs, I would lose contact with all those people that would buy my records. I feel like I’m doing what I have to do.”
