Disco Queen Dies

The music world has lost another diva, and the karaoke bars have lost one of the most influential artists of all time.  Donna Summer, the queen of disco music, has lost her battle against lung cancer.

A true musical talent, Summer entertained thousands throughout the years, ranging from genres of musical theatre to reggae to rock.  But she made her biggest print in the disco era.  If you have ever been to a lip sync contest or a karaoke bar, you have probably heard, or even performed, one or more of her songs.  One of Summer's most popular hits, "She Works Hard for the Money" is just as popular now as it was back when first released.  It continues to be an anthemn for working women.  Her song, "Last Dance," is a staple in many parties.  You can say that it's not a party without Donna!

The five-time Grammy winner was 63 years old, passing in  Florida.  The disease that eventually claimed her life is the leading killer among all cancers.

Our prayers go out to Donna Summer's family, and thanks for her influential life and courageous fight.
