http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/obit/story/2012-05-17/donna-summer-disco-queen-dies/55039474/1NEW YORK Disco queen Donna Summer, whose pulsing anthems such as Last Dance, Love to Love You Baby and Bad Girl became the soundtrack for a glittery age of sex, drugs, dance and flashy clothes, has died. She was 63.
Her family released a statement, saying Summer died Thursday morning and that they "are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy."
"Words truly can't express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time," the statement read. She had been living in Englewood, Fla., with her husband, Bruce Sudano.
Summer came to prominence just as disco was burgeoning, and came to define the era with a string of No. 1 hits and her beauty-queen looks.

I saw her about 6 months to a year ago on a show and she still had her voice.
Her songs bring back some good memories.

i had much fun w/ her playing in the background.
