TMZ has reported that Donna Summer died this morning. She was 63 and had been battling cancer. I remember her songs vividly from high school.

In chronological years - yes. you are younger. However, due to the Tanks of Tanq, Ciggies, and AquaNet fallout, I think you may be even older than Pale.

Wow! That really is sad. She had an amazing range! One of not too many from the age of studio sound engineers, that could really wail!

Further South than I wanna be.
Just hearing her makes me want to dance. Just wish I knew how. :0

Way, way south.
I was surprised to hear she lived only about 2 miles from me and never knew it.

I grew up as a kid hearing her music from my sisters and at the roller skating rink.

She was great; 63 is way too young.

May Jesus rest her soul.
