chedderchester Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/arts-post/post/donna-summer-dies--remembering-the-disco-queen-through-the-post-archives/2012/05/17/gIQAYz0GWU_blog.html?wprss=rss_style It's so weird how yesterday I was thinking about her song called "Love to love ya baby." Just like on the day Michael Jackson died, I was trying to moonwalk. My personal favorite song by her is "Last Dance." Wow . . . first Whitney Houston and then the queen of Disco!

Brock Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'm not really familiar with her music, but I will always remember her as Steve Urkel's Aunt Oona from Altoona. On a related note, my car was once almost totalled by Donna's tour bus on Ontario's Hwy 400. True story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyilove Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 She is one of my alltime favorite singers, always loved her, what a talent. I only saw her acting appearance on FAMILY MATTERS from the 1990's this last year and was amazed how good a comedienne she was and totally unafraid to jump into a quirky character. RIP Donna.

JoeySanJoaquin Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Another sad marker of time marching on; one more icon leaving us too soon... Such pipes, amazing voice, range, power...such a waste. My heart goes out to her family. She'll remain a fond part of my "maturation" days in the late 70s/early 80s as I struggled to find my way, learning to understand what being "out and proud" was all about: talk about the soundtrack of a generation! Songs I still love hearing today: Hot Stuff, Bad Girls, Last Dance, Enough is Enough -- going toe-to-toe yet with Babs Streisand -- and keeping up with her! She Works Hard for the Money, Dim All the Lights, This Time I Know it's for Real, and on and on..... Such a huge loss. So sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
