The disco era brought with it the finger point and hip gyrations from the likes of John Travolta in the movie Saturday Night Fever and those synchronized dance routines performed by a mass of people to music such as The Hustle by Van McCoy. The 70′s also brought with it the queen of disco–her name was Donna Summer, her music and voice were unmistakable. The disco era hit right around the mid 1970′s, which was about the time I graduated from high school, so I knew her music and others from that time, very well.

Unfortunately, on May 17, 2012, her battle with lung cancer had ended. She passed away in her Florida home at the age of 63.

Some of Donna’s most well known hits:

- She Works Hard For The Money
- Dim All The Lights
- On The Radio
- Love to Love You Baby
- Last Dance
- Hot Stuff
- Bad Girls
- I Love You
- McArthur Park
- Heaven Knows

The following YouTube video was the last time I saw her perform on television. It was on a David Foster special called, “Hitman Returns”, which was performed back in October 2010 at the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada and was first aired on March 2011.
