Donna Summer -- the Queen of Disco -- died this morning after a battle with cancer ... TMZ has learned.

We're told Summer was in Florida at the time of her death. She was 63-years-old.

Sources close to Summer tell us ... the singer was trying to keep the extent of her illness under wraps. We spoke to someone who was with Summer a couple of weeks ago ... who says she didn't seem too bad.
 
it was just announced on our morning news. still looking for link

Wow, this was certainly unexpected. Loved roller skating to her music back in the day.

Sleep peacefully, Donna. Sure you have them all dancing in heaven.

So sorry to learn of her passing... I wasn't a big fan back when, but I recognize a dynamo when I hear one! She was a huge influence, (many pounds of fat were lost by folks dancing their butts off alllll around the world!) she leaves a tremendous legacy of songs that dare you to not move to them!

RIP Donna. :)

Bummer.

Loved her back in the disco days! (Am I dating myself?! LOL)
 

1977. I was in high school. She was a intergral part of the soundscape of my teen years.

The thing that I love about her and I didn't appreciate it until much later---was in the 80's or 90's I heard her give an interview and she said the image that everyone saw on stage was not who she really is---that she was first and foremost a Mom and a wife. Those were the roles she identified with rather than as she put it "putting on the wig and makeup and performing on stage". Loved her voice!
