Disco 歌后Donna Summer去世

Disco 歌后Donna Summer五月17日因癌症在她佛羅里達州Key West家中去世（63歲），Donna 1948年出生於波士頓，本名LaDonna Andrea Gaines，為了追尋音樂生涯，她輟學前去紐約，但因錯失一個演出機會之後她前往德國發展，並且參加了德國版的音樂劇"Hair."「毛髮」和其他幾齣戲的演出，最後獲得作曲人和製作人Giorgio Moroder的青睞，Giorgio用她的聲音試著本來要給別人用的一首歌"Love To Love You Baby,"，沒想到在1976年初這首歌獲得了排行榜亞軍的好成績，此後一年Donna Summer唱出了18首排行榜前40名的暢銷曲，其中包括"MacArthur Park" (1978), "Hot Stuff" (1979), "Bad Girls" (1979) 和 "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)"這幾首排行榜冠軍曲，"No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)"那首歌還是一首與Barbra Streisand合唱的歌。


Donna Summer後來嫁給了Brooklyn Dreams 合唱團的Bruce Sudano （1980 ），他們倆因Brooklyn Dreams 和她合唱"Heaven Knows" 那首1979年第4名的歌而相戀。. Donna Summer一共獲得五座Grammy獎，也是第一位三套雙片專輯唱片連續在Billboard雜誌獲排行榜冠軍的藝人。

Donna Summer於2010年曾提名進搖滾樂名人堂，但最後沒獲選，可是為數眾多的暢銷曲使她在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜獲得第49名，相信走過Disco年代的朋友們一定對她留有深刻的印象。



HEAVEN KNOWS

Donna Summer + Brooklyn Dreams 1978



Baby please, please don't take your love from me

I am yours for ever more, 'till eternity

Silence please, listen to the words I say

I'm not talking just for play, listen to me please

Heaven knows it's not the way it should be

Heaven knows it' s not the way it could be

Don't you know there's no need to leave

Heaven knows I never wanna leave you

Heaven knows I only wanna please you

Don't you know love is what I need

Tell me inside, don't get cope with foolish pride

Love me all the things aside, only you and me

Believe in us, we've always meant to be

(I) live for you and you for me, 'till eternity...

Heaven knows I only wanna love you

Heaven knows I never wanna lose you

Don't you know love is meant to be

Heaven knows it's not the way it should be

And it's not your stuff

So stop with your pretending

So come on down and hear me when I cry...
