LaDonna Adrian Gaines (December 31, 1948 – May 17, 2012), known by the stage name Donna Summer died on 17th May 2012. The Associated Press reports that she died in the morning at her home in Key West, Florida at age 63 following a battle with cancer. The Bradenton Herald quotes “Sarasota County records” stating that she lived in Englewood, Florida at the time of her death. The reference did not state the place of her death.

She changed the club scene forever and influenced with her song “I Feel Love” on thousands of musicians. Laurent Garnier and Carl Cox for example started doing music when they heard ruff bassline on “I Feel Love”. Her music has been remixed and reworked every year for the past 30 years and she fully deserve the title – Queen of Disco.

Rest in peace Donna… Scene will never forget you effort in music!

One of the most sampled voices in music history has died after slipping into a coma. According to a statement issued by her managers, Chicago-based singer Loleatta Holloway passed away yesterday after a lengthy illness. Holloway began her music career in the ’60s, singing on various soul recordings. Her body of work included several top-selling albums in the 1970s, scoring the hit “Dreamin’” in 1976 and contributing vocals to “Re-Light My Fire” for Dan Hartman. Known for her bold, soulful voice and spirited lyrics about love, her biggest hit came in 1980 in the form of “Love Sensation,” a song that has been sampled in countless house tracks and was incorporated into Black Box’s 1989 international pop smash “Ride on Time.” Loleatta Holloway was 64. /// Source
