<p>Donna Summer, a singer who rose to fame on the disco craze of the 1980s, <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/17/donna-summer-dead-last-dance/">has reportedly died of cancer at 63</a>. Ms. Summer's breakthrough hit in the U.S., "Love to Love You Baby," was an over-15-minute-long club smash, featuring the singer's then-scandalous moans. Other hits included club favorites like "Last Dance" and "MacArthur Park." In recent years, Ms. Summer had released an album in 2008 and performed on <em>American Idol </em>and at the Nobel Prize concert in honor of President Obama.</p>
