Goodbye Donna Summer

Earlier this year, the music industry was saddened with the sudden passing of Whitney Houston. Today, another legend and icon leaves us.

Donna Summer aka The Queen of Disco has lost her battle with breast cancer. She died on 17 May 2012.

Another dark day for music. Today I and for the next coming weeks, I just want to bump Donna Summer tunes to reminisce my childhood days. My parents, especially my mum drew particular interest with Donna. My mum was the one who introduced me to her music. Being very young in the 80's I just tend to listen whatever's being played on the radio and by whomever is manning the stereo. It wasn't hard to fall in love with Donna's music. The Giorgio Moroder signature 70s disco beats is how I will always remember this disco diva. She has inspired the likes of Madonna and Kylie Minogue to build and nurture their musical careers on this particular genre. 

So for now, I'ma be like, tsup tsup, beep beep! #BadGirls.

Goodbye Whitney Houston

Such a shocking news this early Sunday morning of 12 Feb '12 in Manila when I learned that one of my personal favourite songtress, the voice, Whitney Houston has passed away. As of yet, details to her demise is still unknown. Though she is known to have a cocaine abuse problem, authorities have not confirmed the cause of death and that investigations are still on-going.

This is indeed a very sad day for the music industry as it lost one of the best voices to ever grace a stage and hold a microphone. I grew up listening to Whitney. She was one of the women who paved for the "diva" singer category. This helped the likes of Mariah Carey and Celine Dion reach a stature in their careers. 

Whitney's voice will be continued to be heard and her legacy will carry on. I love you.

Do you have the same sentiment on Whitney?
