They Reminisce Over You: Donna Summer (MURAL by SERVE ONE)
LaDonna Adrian Gaines
‘Donna Summer‘
(12/31/48 – 05/17/12)
A couple of days ago, the Disco Queen has received her wings. She unfortunately lost her battle to cancer, which has been a very rough battle in the past two weeks for her and her fans. Hearing about the news the same day through a friend via text, South Bronx’s legendary graffiti artist/DJ SERVE (known as SERVE ONE) immediately paid homage to the ‘Last Dance‘ artist by curating her 1978 double-LP cover Live and More. Serve One went to respond to his friends on his facebook page on how this came about..
….when I came to Tuff City today, I never knew about her death at all. My friend text me telling me that Diana Ross was dead at first. So when I Googled it up, that’s when I found out it was Donna that died. So I grabbed some cans and blazed this for all of you that loved her.
Plug Research: Lee Fields & The Expressions w/sg Scarub, Cody Chestnutt, Kenny Dope [05/19]!

They Reminisce Over You – Robin Gibb (The Bee Gees)
[co-founder of the Brothers Gibb (or Bee Gees)]
(12/22/49 – 05/20/12)
Dang, three days later after Donna‘s passing, Robin received his wings. From the reports I’ve been reading online all morning, he’s suffered something close to mirroring his twin brother’s demise (well, at least the symptoms anyways). Te tragic news has just sent shockwaves all over the world, especially in Europe and here in the states. I remember hearing the Bee Gees when my mother used to play them on the oldies radio (1110AM KRLA), but got more familiar with the group growing up, especially on Saturday Night Fever (w/John Travolta).
Dang, this is a devastating loss for devotees of music in our heyday. Shoutout to the Bee Gees for giving us that refreshing feel of outstanding music…
