Just saw the breaking news headline on DS.

Made some fantastic records in her career, she will be sadly missed.

My thoughts and prayers go to her friends and family.

Such tragic news.

A really talented vocalist, and a disco pioneer to boot.

I can't believe that. Only 63. Natural causes? Has she been ill. What a superb voice. Loved her records.

I'm absolutely shocked at this. Love's Unkind was the first single I ever bought with my pocket money.

RIP Donna. Fantastic singer and performer.

Very Sad news. I was a big fan of hers when she was at her zenith in the 70's/80's. The MacArthur Park Suite was one of the first 12 inch singles i ever bought.
And i still have it. RIP.

This. RIP

Very shocked at this news; I had no idea she had been ill.

RIP.

Tragic news. Donna's work with Giorgio Moroder was truly pioneering.

RIP the Queen of Disco.

Rip Donna.

A true disco legend. You'll not be forgotten.

RIP Donna Summer, condolences to all family and friends.

Was so shocked when I saw the breaking news banner, R.I.P. Donna another great gone

Me too, my mouth genuinely dropped.

One of the sounds of my growing up years.

Heartbroken about the news. Huge disco pioneer. She influenced ALL the big disco divas.

Same here. I had no idea she was ill. May she rest in peace.

I Feel Love is one of the best if not THE best disco tunes of ALL Time.

RIP Donna Summer.

So so sad, I really loved her and her music!

I'm deeply saddened to see that the Big C has won where is narrowly failed a year of so ago with Nile Rodgers who was arguably Donna's male equivalent of Disco (as the main writer/producer in CHIC).

In an age where "singers" with dubious live vocal talents are lauded such as Britney Spears (who else is not looking forward to US X-Factor see her criticising acts vocal talents) & Rihanna, this is a sad timely reminder of what great authentic real artists were capable of Once Upon A Time:

RIP the Queen Of Disco!

such sad news and i had no idea she was ill. she made so many great records and like other people cited she was an inspiration for many other artists.

Never knew she was ill - poor thing. RIP.

RIP The Queen of Disco.

I disagree slightly. It is one of the best singles of ANY genre EVER. The 1981 Patrick Cowley remix is just one of the best remixes ever. I also LOVED No More Tears and MacArthur Park and not forgetting the best version of Could it be magic . R.I.P.
