Donna Summer – LaDonna Adrian Gaines: RIP – December 31, 1948 – May 17, 2012

There is a party going on up in Heaven.

Icon after (musical) Icon have been recently moving “beyond.” Disco Queen Diva Donna Summer transitioned today after a bout with lung cancer. Summer was instrumental in putting some major sensualism in disco music in ways no one else could. And she made it look easy without raising too many eyebrows (how she did this – who knows!) She made sex sound so ethereal with her divinely heavenly voice that to this day, try listening to the 12″ version of “Love to Love You,” and I dare you not to become aroused when she is, well, you know what she is doing against that track – if you don’t know, you better go find out. Immediately. In fact, it is official that the music of Donna Summer is indeed the soundtrack for The Passions of Lust Noir. We will more than miss you, Donna Summer. And thank you for bringing the ‘real’ sexy in dance music.

Join the Passions on this historical musical and pictorial journey of a Disco Icon: Donna Summer.
