Donna Summer -- the Queen of Disco -- died this morning after a battle with cancer ... TMZ has learned.
We're told Summer was in Florida at the time of her death. She was 63 years old.
Sources close to Summer tell us ... the singer was trying to keep the extent of her illness under wraps. We spoke to someone who was with Summer a couple of weeks ago ... who says she didn't seem too bad.
In fact, we're told she was focused on trying to finish up an album she had been working on.
Summer was a 5-time Grammy winner who shot to superstardom in the '70s with iconic hits like "Last Dance," "Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls."

So much for: "I will survive". Disco makes me violently ill.

My favorite Donna Summer song was
On the RadioI understood that she had become a "born-again chrstian" at some point. Unfortunately, I also read that she was supporting "gay rights." Does not compute.
At any rate, we've lost another icon of the 1970's--the absolute pinnacle of human civilization.

I’m sick and tired of our contemporaries dying.

I thought the gays were upset with her because she had said homosexuality was wrong.

Oh no! I loved her. She sang some very risque songs, but she became a Christian and wouldn’t perform her hits for many years. That was when she became more serious as a musician. I saw her in Reno a couple of years ago and it was a good show.

Except for KC, I hated disco at the time. But I love it now. Thanks Donna!
To: Clint N. Suhks
Sad to hear this - I was not a Disco fan, but I liked her music. Rest in Peace!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Flashback to my part time job in college working in a disco as a bouncer/bartender starting to make me feel real mortal.

So much for: "I will survive". Disco makes me violently ill. Gloria Gaynor sang this song - not Donna.
