This Day in History: , Donna Summer, Queen of Disco, Dies.
May 17, 2012.
The 63-year-old singer and
songwriter died in Naples, FL,
from non-smoking related lung cancer.
The disco diva rose to fame
in the 1970s, with hits like
"Hot Stuff" and "Last Dance.".
As disco's popularity waned, Summer
wrote songs for several different genres.
Her song, "Starting Over Again," for Dolly Parton
was a number-one country single in 1980.
Her 1983 hit, "She Works Hard
for the Money," became a
pop-rock feminist anthem.
Summer was a five-time
Grammy winner, who's been
sampled by artists from
Beyonce to the Pet Shop Boys.
The mother of three was
buried in Nashville, her
home since the 1990s

At the time, Universal Music Group said that TikTok only wanted to pay its artists "a fraction of the rate that similarly situated major social platforms pay.".
Ultimately TikTok is trying to build
a music-based business, without
paying fair value for the music, Universal Music Group, via statement.
The music distributor was also concerned
with the fact that TikTok allows
AI-generated recordings on its platform...
... and is creating tools to "enable, promote and encourage" music creation with artificial intelligence.
Universal Music Group believes that this will "massively dilute the royalty pool for human artists.".
But as of April 11, Swift's music
is back on TikTok, CNN reports. .
The development comes ahead
of the release of her newest album,
'The Tortured Poets Department,' on April 19.
However, Universal Music Group's other artists are still not present on TikTok.
It's not clear what terms were met between TikTok, Universal Music Group and Swift
to return her music to the platform
