LONG LIVE THE QUEEN OF DISCO: DONNA SUMMER DEAD AT 63.

DONNA SUMMER has DIED! YES! Another music legend GONE in 2012, the year that has claimed Etta James, Whitney Houston, Dick Clark, Don Cornelius and more. Expect a tribute at the Billboard music awards which just changed the schedule now as I heard. There may be a slew of stars doing a Donna Summer tribute collage. I enjoyed her appearance on "America's Got Talent" last year during the finale. Donna was said to retire out of the sexy songs and became a born again Christian. However she did do some gospel-like holy songs and was quiet there for a while. Her song publishing is about to make her three daughters very RICH! They were all original. An Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy winner. Definitely a TRIPLE THREAT! May God Bless her. Donna Summer dead at age 63 of cancer--MsKemi @HipHossip on Twitter 

Below are the greatest hits I remember very well 



"Love to Love You Baby"

Summer's breakout hit, this sexy 1975 ditty was cowritten by famed record producer Giorgio Moroder SONG LASTED 16 MINUTES and became an international smash as it featured Donna moaning in sexual ecstasy with recorded orgasms. This is the song your dad purchased from HMV and played in the CAR when your mom wasn't looking and then we would steal the vinyl record and quickly record it on a casette tape and the tape hit the high school cassette players and who ever had a Sony Walkman then. I just called my 77-year-old dad to remind him of this.



"I Feel Love"

Another of Summer's productions with Giorgio Moroder, 1976's "I Feel Love" became one of her signature anthems, particularly in gay clubs.




"Last Dance"

This 1978 classic song won an Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Original Song after Summer debuted it in the film Thank God It's Friday, in which she played an aspiring singer, this is the song where everyone went nuts and drunk at weddings, bar mitvas and such.




"Hot Stuff"

This 1979 song went all the way to No. 1 and earned her a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, the first African-American, not to mention the first woman, to ever win in that category. It's since found new life in everything from 1997's The Full Monty and Sex and the City to the video game Just Dance 2, sung by Katy Perry and Rebecca Black.




"Bad Girls"

This song came out the same year as "Hot Stuff" and topped the charts. "Toot-too, hey, beep-beep," indeed!
