The Most Influential Woman In Electronic Music Has Passed Away ::: Donna Summer

I have always been a big fan of Donna Summer, and it's very sad that she has passed away today on  May 17th of 2012. Summer, real name LaDonna Adrian Gaines, was born in 1948 in Boston. She was raised on gospel music and became the soloist in her church choir by age 10. She also became  the first woman on Earth to sing an electronic song, entitled "I Feel Love" and produced by Giorgio Moroder in the late 70´s. "I Feel Love" was recorded with an entirely synthesized backing track, spawned imitators in the Disco genre, and was influential in the development of Techno music. There's no doubt she had a successful career and all of us will always feel love for this extraordinaire woman!
