Report: Disco Icon Donna Summer Dead at 63
TMZ is reporting that disco legend Donna Summer’s battle with cancer has ended in Florida. According to TMZ, Donna was busy putting the finishing touches on a new album and trying to keep her illness under wraps.
In a career that spanned over four decades, Donna – aka the “Queen of Disco” – charted four number-one singles in the United States within a thirteen-month period and was the first artist to have three consecutive double albums reach number one on the US Billboard chart. Donna released her last album, Crayons, in 2008. The release, which marked her first album of original material since 1991′s Mistaken Identity, peaked at No. 17 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and spawned three #1 club hits.
Although Summer had several hits, including “I Love You”, “Last Dance”, “Bad Girls”, “She Works Hard for the Money” and “MacArthur Park”, she is perhaps best known for her 1976 Giorgio Moroder produced hit “I Feel Love”. Donna Summer will be missed.
