Requiem for the Queen of Disco - The POZ Staff
By Dennis Daniel
Last week, Donna Summer, the Queen of Disco, died of cancer at the tragically early age of 63. Summer was a major diva and a musical icon of the '70s, particularly to the gay community, which was finally coming into its own in this post-Stonewall era. In many ways her music was a clarion call for our generation. I remember one college party where my friends and I danced in the rain in the front yard with "Last Dance" blasting from the windows of the house. She had the remarkable talent of being able to get just about anyone on their feet and moving.
