Tribute to the Queen of Disco

LaDonna Adrian Gaines (December 31, 1948 – May 17, 2012), known by the stage name Donna Summer, but loved as the Queen of Disco, was an American singer/songwriter who gained prominence during the disco era of the 1970s.

She had a mezzo-soprano vocal range, and was a five-time Grammy Award winner. Donna Summer was the first artist to have three consecutive double albums reach number one on the US Billboard chart, and she also charted four number-one singles in the United States within a thirteen-month period.

I am a huge fan of Ms Summer since 1975. Her music has been a part of my life since then. She was true Diva, a great human being and role model. Thank you for the good times. God bless you. Rest in peace. My condolences to her family.

Shame to Billboard Awards

Ana Sanchez -Florida May 22, 2012

I had the great fortune of seeing her in concert four times. What a performer!!!
It disturbed me greatly that BMA did such a shabby job with a "tribute", shame
on the producer of the show. She deserved sooooo much better.
RIP.

My words in honour of Donna

Ron Bruce May 20, 2012

Although I wasn't a big fan of the disco music back in the late 70's, Donna Summer just came in & took over all the music charts! She was constantly on the top 10 for a long time & took home 5 Grammy Awards.
After listening to some of her music today, I forgot how versatile she was. In a way, she was a bit ahead of her time for what she did in the 70's.
Sorry to see her go so soon & get cheated out of her later years !!!!
