Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
A sad day. No longer will she have to Work hard for the money.
So sad.
I understood that she had become a "born-again chrstian" at some point. Unfortunately, I also read that she was supporting "gay rights." Does not compute.
At any rate, we've lost another icon of the 1970's--the absolute pinnacle of human civilization.
sad day.
makes you feel old, doesn’t it?
His judgment cometh and that right soon
Holy crap, I didn’t even know she was sick.
Oh no! I loved her. She sang some very risque songs, but she became a Christian and wouldn’t perform her hits for many years. That was when she became more serious as a musician. I saw her in Reno a couple of years ago and it was a good show.
Except for KC, I hated disco at the time. But I love it now. Thanks Donna!
FYI. Of interest.
She had much more impact than Whitney Houston.
RIP Ms Summers. Not a great fan of disco, but I did enjoy your songs. Feeling older by the day. :(
Add her to the long list of great black performers who died way before their time, whether as a result of their own recklessness or natural causes.
That is sad
One thing I remember is you never heard scandal about her
she just did her craft and stayed out of the news
....world record for longest note held by a female singer in a hit Pop song, which is held by Donna Summer in “Dim All The Lights”.
What a sad week for disco.....First Tony Menaro likes boys and Donna Summer passes away....RIP....Will always love her music and keep her albums....
There was a lot of terrible disco made back in the ‘70s, but Donna Summer was one of the few good acts in that genre. RIP.
And as bad as it was, at least it was made with real musicians playing actual instruments unlike most dance music of today.
Rest in Peace, Ms. Summer ... ‘Loved to love ya’, Baby.
Before Madonna, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, and 100’s of other female pop vocalists, there was Donna Summer. In the late 70’s Ms. Summer was the Queen of the Pop Charts. Say what you will she was wildly adored worldwide, she was truly a diva. A great artist, a beautiful woman, and a from all accounts a decent person. She will be missed, and appreciated for the uniquely American icon that she was, prayers to her husband and children.
RIP Donna
