She was inducted in two categories, Artist Inductees, alongside fellow disco legends The Bee Gees and Barry White; and Record Inductees, for her classic hit I Feel Love. Summer added to her achievements in October 2004 when she performed God Bless America during the seventh-inning stretch at Game 2 of the 2004 World Series at Boston's Fenway Park. Two of her most recent singles, You're So Beautiful (2004) and I Got Your Love (2005) reached the Top 10 on both the Hot Dance Airplay and Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts.
Today, Summer and her family make their home in Nashville, Tennessee. In July 2006, Summer joined forces with Pure Tone Music, an A&R consulting and full service independent music company located just outside of New York City. She was touring extensively in mid-2006, and incorporating covers of other artists into her set, one of them being Sade's Pearls. Summer's official web site announced an upcoming CD on the Burgundy label to be released in Spring, 2008. Summer has hinted that her upcoming album will be more political, and is currently fundraising for the incumbent Democratic governor of Tennessee.
