Donna Summer Dead at 63

[auntiehill]

The Queen of Disco, who ruled the charts in the 70s and 80s, has died at age 63, following a long battle with cancer. HERE.

Unlike a lot of singers in her day, and today, for that matter, she wrote a lot of her own songs, and was able to live comfortably off the residuals.

 

[J.T.B.]

Aw, that's sad. We'll never have that recipe again.

Disco got a pretty bad backlash but dance music never really went away and Summer's talent and innovation had a long influence.

I can also remember when some radio stations wouldn't play "Love to Love You Baby" because of some of the "sounds" she made!

RIP.

And they told the world just how you felt
It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat."

A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice.

RIP, Donna.

 

[Amaris]

Rest in Peace, Donna. You were simply amazing.
