OMG! Rest in peace, Ms. Summer, and my condolences to your family, thoughts and prayers in addition. We just never ever know what a person is battling and going through with in their lives until they’re gone, then that’s when you find out basically almost everything about them. That’s why people need to live life, stop worrying about petty stuff, stop worrying about the next person and how they choose to live and just be happy while you’re here on this not-promised-to-tomorrow, borrowed time on Earth.

WOW! We’ve been loosing the greats left and right; Don, Chuck Brown, Whitney Houston, and Nick Ashford to name a few. As most of us know she was the unchallenged Queen of Disco. Her songs bring back many good memories from back in the day. Even some movies (Saturday Night Fever and Thank God It’s Friday) would not have been so musically soild with out her musical influance.

What a great loss, she was the voice and the beautiful look. Most of us women wanted to look like Donna Summer, she gave us permission to be sexy and be proud of it. She will truly be missed, my prayers to her family.

I remember the “Chief Rocker” Frankie Crocker on WBLS playing “Love to Love You Baby” as I lay in my room with my bad to the bone stereo I had purchased in Germany while I was in the Army… and some females who shared those ecstatic moments in the basement with me. Wow thats part of the soundtrack to my life. Another song that always played in proximity with Donna Summer was “Fly Robin Fly.” I always loved Donna Summer what a beautiful woman.
