Old School Friday "RIP Donna Summer"
Happy Friday All! This is the end of a long work week for some, the end of a tiring week for me, and time to slip into relaxation mode. Unfortunately yesterday was the passing of a music icon. Donna Summer, the Queen of Disco sadly succumbed to cancer on Thursday, May 17, 2012.
Donna Summer, born LaDonna Adrian Gaines (December 31, 1948- May 17, 2012), received numerous awards such as 5 Grammy Awards, 6 American Music Awards, an NAACP Award, and many more. Donna summer set the 70's disco era on fire with hits like, "Love To Love You Baby", "Hot Stuff", and "Bad Girls". Her music was part of the soundtrack of my life, so I dedicate today's Old School Friday to Ms Donna Summer!! Rest In Peace Donna Summer, you will be missed!

Happy Friday All!
