Donna Summer, Disco Legend, dies at 63


Donna Summer, who had been battling cancer, died at the age of 63.


The Grammy-winning singer rose to fame during the disco era of the late 70s.  Her hits included "Last Dance", "Love to love you baby", "Bad Girl", "Hot Stuff, and "Heaven knows".  She was the first artist to cross over disco into mainstream culture.


Her song "Last Dance", which Summer admitted was her favorite song she worked on, won an Oscar for best original song in the 1978 film "Thank God It's Friday".  She was a legend and a true artist.  R.I.P.
