Guest Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 What a loss!.......I can remember sat alone with headphones on listening to Love to Love you Baby and working up a sweat. RIP lady soul
Guest Polyvelts Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 That's sad news and a great loss ! MrC states it perfectly...Disco Queen of the Highest Magnitude indeed !
Agentsmith Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 the consumate disco exponent, this is a devastating loss,...i guess she will, in many ways, be the soundtrack to the majority of us, that symbolised the developement of 70's boogie, right at the cutting edge and everyone else followed. she was a global superstar whose catalogue pre-empted the madonnaesque 80's, she could turn her hand to any style and had a scintillating, soaring voice, that became, and still is, instantly recognisable...this is such a shock...how many of us truely had an inkling that she was so seriously ill? such immense talent taken from us at an age that we now consider relatively young, god rest your soul great lady. 1

Stubbsy Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 RIP Donna Summer - Queen of disco! Remember buying the "Donna Summer" album when it first came out (1976?) & playing it over and over again. What a sad loss at such a relatively young age

MrsWoodsrules Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I Feel Love was years & years ahead of it's time & single handily influenced a generation of music production. It certainly influenced me when i first heard Mr Levine & Co spinning the 12' at the Ritz all dayers long before it hit the charts. The girl from Boston was a class act RIP. Aid. 2
Guest FrostyJak Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Sad loss. great voice and great song writer RIP
Guest trickbag Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 pete waterman doing a bio on her at the moment bbc. rip donna. ricky.
Petedillon Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Her first album was, along with the Ohio Players 'sticky' stuff, one of the few non-northern things I bought in the 70's. Brilliant voice. Sad news
Mike Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 I Feel Love was years & years ahead of it's time & single handily influenced a generation of music production. It certainly influenced me when i first heard Mr Levine & Co spinning the 12' at the Ritz all dayers long before it hit the charts. The girl from Boston was a class act RIP. Aid. yep, hearing this for the first time at the ritz was one of those 'what' moments that will always remember, in fact 8 mins of what the guardian has a sort of interesting mainstream look at the track here, https://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2012/may/18/donna-summer-i-feel-love also while perhaps not her finest work, but another memory that stays will be the story line of the "hostage" and the determinded efforts we made trying to decipher what she says at the end sad news
