Summer, born LaDonna Adrian Gaines in Boston, grew up singing in a local church but moved to Europe in the late Sixties to find fame and fortune. After appearing in a production of Hair, backing Three Dog Night on a leg of their tour and releasing a few European singles without much success, Donna hooked up with producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte for a 12-inch dance song called "Love To Love You Baby." The seductive smash seemed like a one-off, but Donna proved remarkably versatile, becoming dance music's first real diva with smashes such as "Last Dance," "Hot Stuff," and "Bad Girls." Summer is survived by her husband Bruce Sudano, formerly of the bands Alive and Kicking and Donna's backup group Brooklyn Dreams, her three daughters, and a grandchild. Her family requests that in lieu of gifts, donations be made to the Salvation Army in her name; Donna became a born-again Christian in the mid-Eighties.

Though he didn't play on the group's best-known instrumental classic, "Green Onions," Dunn did play with the MGs on their other hits, and even more notably, hits for the artists the group backed: that's Dunn's bass opening Otis Redding's "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," moving and grooving under Sam and Dave's "Soul Man," and even underpinning Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty's big '80s hit "Stop Dragging My Heart Around." After Stax folded in the mid-Seventies, Dunn was still very much in demand as a session musician, playing with everyone from Eric Clapton to Bob Dylan, and even made an on-screen appearance as part of the band in the 1980 musical comedy film The Blues Brothers. Dunn is survived by wife June and son Jeff, as well as one grandchild; a memorial service is being planned in the bassist's hometown of Memphis. Please leave your thoughts, remembrances, and condolences about Donald "Duck" Dunn here.

It's been around since the dawn of published music, and it's a practice that's still prevalent in radio today -- using bribes of cash, gifts, or favors to gain airplay for singles. In 1959, however, it was used by established forces in the music industry to destroy rock and roll... and while it ultimately failed in that attempt, it did manage to create at least one casualty along the way in the person of Alan Freed, the DJ who gave rock and roll its name -- and almost ended the career of the late, great Dick Clark!
