Donna Summer Dead at 63; From "Enough is Enough" To "Last Dance" Summer Rocked Soaps


Longtime fans of GUIDING LIGHT will never forget the exciting Hall of Mirrors epsisode in 1980 when an on-the-run Roger Thorpe chased Rita Bauer during the charity bazaar. And those scenes would not be the same without the music of the legendary Donna Summar, who died at age 63 on Thursday at her Naples, home after a long struggle with cancer. In a statement, her family confirmed her death.

Known for songs such as as “Bad Girls,” “Hot Stuff” and “She Works Hard for the Money,” Summer burst onto the music scene in the 1970s and became an icon.

Watch a video below of "Enough is Enough" during one of the most famous scenes in GUIDING LIGHT history. The music was so memorable that it almost became another character along with Roger and Rita.



On the final episode of AS THE WORLD TURNS, Henry and Barbara had one "Last Dance" to the Donna Summer classic song.
