TMZ reports that singer Donna Summer died Thursday morning after fighting cancer, and Summer's family confirmed her death shortly afterward. The disco star was reportedly trying to keep the extent of her illness under wraps while she completed a new album, though sources who saw her several weeks ago said she "didn't seem too bad." The five-time Grammy winner was known as the "Queen of Disco" and rose to superstardom in the 1970s with her hits "Last Dance," "Hot Stuff," and "Bad Girls."

I felt love whenever I heard Donna Summer's voice.
This next song is the one that really got my attention first...

I really didn't care for the whole disco thing but I would pretend as hard
as I could if I thought the ladies in the 'tech would pay attention to me for it.
One needed some stamina to dance straight through MacArthur Park.
(that was DS right?)

I remember seeing the movie "Thank God It's Friday" with my mom back in 1976 IIRC. That was the first time I heard what is my favorite Donna Summer song of all time.
Even if you were shy, you had to summon the courage to ask a girl to slow dance to this song

Hot Stuff/Bad Girls medley, and she even takes pity on the Village People and hires them to back her up. Chuck Brown could have torn Hot Stuff up! Maybe he did and I missed it.

When I was a little kid I got one of those white plastic Fisher Price record players with attached speakers as an x-mas present. I went out to the record store will all my allowance money and bought 2 records to get me started.
1) Ted Nugent - "Double Live Gonzo"
2) Donna Summers - "Bad Girls"
