Default Donna Summer passed away today
Sad News, Disco Queen of the 70s Donna Summer died at age 63 (64?) of breast cancer.

I loved her 70s and 80s work with Giorgio Moroder.

Very sad.....

RIP Donna, may God bless your soul.

^^ This thread will obviously be moved to the Chit Chat area.

I hate when the idols of my youth are slowly slipping away... although I certainly was not expecting this one. Oy! I have *zero* knowledge about her health, but I am especially shocked that she died from breast cancer- a disease that has a markedly better prognosis today than it did in the past. Oh, this is so sad... The first record I ever bought was the 45-single of Donna Summer's "MacArthur Park" b/w "Once Upon a Time (Live)." I bought it at the Korvettes in Herald Square. I played the sh** out of that thing.

RIP Donna Summer

They are saying it was lung cancer from breathing in particles from 9/11.

There are no albums I love more than Bad Girls and Once Upon a Time.

There is no song I love more than "I Feel Love."

RIP Donna Summer

I heard this on the radio this afternoon and was really shocked and saddened. I wasn't even aware that she was ill.

Shocking and sad. I had no idea either she was living right here in the quiet little beach town of Englewood, Florida that's just below Sarasota. I go there all the time.

This is so unfair! Every pain is unfair, specially for a disease that, as Hejira said, today can be defeated better than in the past, but reading that she was another victim of the 9/11 tragedy is something that breaks the heart

Unhappy RIP Donna Summer
I was shocked when a co-worker told me @ lunchtime that she passed. I didn't know that she was sick & apparently she was a private person & this is why. I just know that it was cancer & either breast or lung cancer. Either one is just terrible. I have her last CD, Crayons, first one I ever bought & I really liked it. We had parakeet back in the disco area that when my mom played "Bad Girls", just loved the "Toot toot, beep, beep" & went crazy singing along. That brings back good memories.

RIP Donna

Lee
