However, Summer had some trouble adjusting to the changing times. Her next album, "The Wanderer," went for more of a rock feel. It produced a Top 10 hit in the title track but fared relatively poorly on the charts—especially after the success of "Bad Girls," a double album that spent five weeks at No. 1.
It wasn’t until 1983’s "She Works Hard for the Money," which became a ubiquitous video as well as a big radio hit, that Summer’s fame approached its late ‘70s zenith.
