It was a year ago, today, in which the world lost a true treasure when the Queen, Donna Summer, passed away. In remembrance of her extraordinary singing talent and a lady who had beauty, class, style and great stage presence. These younger female singers should look to you, as an example, because you were the real deal! You were also a smart business woman and handled your business wisely and effectively. Show business is not only about talent and you recognized how important the other side of it was, as well. I am glad the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is honoring you this month. I only wish you were here to be able to accept it (Lord knows I voted so many times for you to be inducted into it). However, I know you are beaming with joy, as your fans are, too. I am so glad I got to see you in concert live, back in 2008. What an awesome performance! You were not only a great singer/entertainer but also a caring & loving mother, wife, relative, friend, etc. I have been a fan since I was a child and will always be one. I listen to your music all the time and your music shall endure for eternity. I saw a couple of shows recently which showcased the Disco era. Let's be very clear....Donna Summer is the ONLY Queen of Disco and there is no other that shall ever hold this title!! She was a global sensation who helped usher Disco onto the radio stations and into nightclubs because of the demand for her recordings and live appearances all over the world. No other female shall ever upstage her role during the Disco era.......bar none! Rest in Peace, Queen, and you will forever be missed.

Remember Yesterday as Today.
The eternal flame. Lady of the Light.
I am proud of all the steps you made on Earth.
After your passing my special feelings didn't fade. Don't know why (?!)
Music still in my heart.
Best wishes to Bruce, your doughters and other relatives.

She was not a influence on drugs and sex... She was an influence with passion and elegance with unique style and professionalism. The most sensual singer of all time with symphony disco (with orchestra); awesome with powerful range of voice with unforgettable inspirational performances with talent and class. She started with rock & roll ("Pandora's box" "Lady of the Night" "Love's Unkind"), euro-disco opera, Latin-caribbean dance ("Try me I Know We can Make it" Autumn Changes" "Come with Me" "Deep Inside") blues ("Remember Yesterday", "Black Lady") soul,opera,soft adult contemporanean ("Whispering Waves" "Winter Melody" more..) Broadway and jazz ("My Man" "Memories" "Lush Life" more...) and later on with rock/alternative/new wave/soft rock quiet storm/synch-pop/country/ pop and much more (all of these for an African euro-American lady); and her 1st electronic music influences ("I Feel Love")and the 1st (only ones 1975-1980)long album versions (mixed songs). Her public appearances had so much passion and "love was the Healer" for her audience; Always, her role modeling has being for many divas and will be for many "modern singers and bands" of today.

I met Donna & her husband on the street once.... Donna was friendly & unassuming not only was she talented and beautiful, but class act as well.....very hard to find this type of person in the industry...R.I.P sweet angel....Some of my best memories involve her music

Your music was wonderful. Thanks for all the lovely memories.

My heart goes out to your family and friends. Rest in peace. You were a beautiful person with a beautiful voice.

Rest In Peace, Disco Queen Summer. See You On The Other Side Some Beautiful Day, Sweet Lady!

Sending my love and prayers to the family. I know she is with God singing her heart out. She was and still is a great singer who is loved by all.
