The five time Grammy winner’s hits include songs such as “Last Dance,” “Hot Stuff,” “Bad Girls,” and “She Works Hard for the Money” and “This Time I Know It’s for Real.”
After Twitter exploded with the news, first reported by TMZ, Summer’s family released the following statement:
Early this morning, we lost Donna Summer Sudano, a woman of many gifts, the greatest being her faith. While we grieve her passing, we are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy. Words truly can’t express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time.
Neil Portnow, the President and CEO of The Recording Academy, also expressed his condolences:
Five-time Grammy winner Donna Summer had a dynamic voice and unique musical style that helped define the dance music genre in the ’70s. She also was an artist who crossed many musical genres, as evidenced by her Grammy wins in the R&B, rock, inspirational and dance categories. Her talent was a true gift to the music industry, and our thoughts and sympathies are with her family, friends and fans throughout the world during this difficult time.
In tribute, we’ve compiled a Spotify playlist of her songs, as well as a roundup of some YouTube covers of her hits that made us smile.
