    I Feel Love is my all time favorite. She will be missed.

    Sad news. I saw her on TV singing a couple of years ago, and she still had a great voice.

    It does stink. There was plastic disco, and then there was some really good stuff by artists like her.

    I'd go so far as to say "good disco" was a precursor to the technorock Radiohead ushered in 20 years later.

    In my younger years, my friends and I would throw disco themed parties. Donna Summer was a staple of the music played. I have always been a fan of good disco, mainly due to my love of old school funk.

    Rest in peace, Queen of Disco.

    There's a fine line between disco and funk. Listen to a Chic album and tell me that's not straight up funk.

    Anyway, sad news. Cancer really sucks. My band plays a bunch of her songs. I suspect we will be adding a Donna Summer medley this weekend in remembrance.

    I loved me some Donna Summer growing up. Awesome talent, and her singing abilities were underrated.
