Donna Summer will go down in music history as the Queen of Disco. For nearly 40 years, Summer created some of the biggest dance music hits. From 1975’s “Love To Love You Baby” to her 2010 chart topping dance hit, “To Paris With Love,” the five time Grammy Award winner is the only artist to chart top ten dance hits in every decade since the 70s.

Summer passed away today [May 17] after a battle with cancer. She was 63 years old. In remembrance of her life, we are celebrating her musical legacy with a special playlist, courtesy of Centric’s weekly countdown show, The Hot 10.
