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.

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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrpDT22XXn0 Donna Summer - Last Dance (Live Midnight Special 1978) RIP the Queen Of Disco!
