LaDonna Adrian Gaines (1948-2012)

So far, what a year this has been already:( This will be my 6th tribute mix of the year (following MCA, Dick Clark, Don Cornelius, Clare Fischer, and Etta James.)

Donna Summer is one of the most underrated singers of ALL TIME. Her voice FAR surpassed many who constantly get praise. Regardless, I have a feeling that Donna Summer’s musical legacy will outlast many others.
