In Memoriam

Donna Summer (1948 - 2012)

The Disco Queen of the 70s passed away today after a battle with cancer.  She was 63.  Winner of 5 Grammy Awards out of 17 nominations, she was the first artist to have 3 consecutive double albums reach number 1 on the US Billboard chart.

Famous for, among others, Love to Love You Baby, I Feel Love, Hot Stuff, She Works Hard for the Money, and MacArthur Park, I personally discovered her with 1989’s Another Place and Time, for songs like I Don't Wanna Get Hurt, This Time I Know It's for Real, and Love's About to Change My Heart.
