In unfortunate news, America’s disco queen, Donna Summer, died today after a battle

with cancer. She was 63.

“Last Dance” singer Donna Summer–who gained prominence in the 70′s disco era–died

this morning after battling cancer. The 5 time Grammy Award winning Boston native

was known for helping ushering in the disco era and offering up a different sound for the

times. Born LaDonna Adrian Gaines, the legendary singer reportedly died today in Florida.

She was married to singer Bruce Sudano with 2 kids (model/actress Brooklyn Sudano and

singer Amanda Sudano-Ramirez) and was a grandmother to four.  Other hits she’s known

for: “Hot Stuff,” “Love To Love You Baby,” and “She Works Hard For The Money.”

R.I.P. Mrs. Summer.
