Barbra Streisand, Dolly Parton and other stars remember the late great Donna Summer

It was in 1979 when Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand – both at the very height of their legendary recording careers – joined forces on the number one hit No More Tears (Enough is Enough).

Streisand has released a statement expressing her shock over the death of Summer who had died earlier in the day from cancer at the age of 63.

‘I was shocked to hear about Donna,’ Streisand said. ‘She was so vital the last time I saw her a few months ago. I loved doing the duet with her. She had an amazing voice and was so talented. .. It’s so sad.’

Another music icon, Dolly Parton, also weighed in with her sorrow: ”I can’t believe we’ve lost another wonderful singer. Donna, like Whitney (Houston), had one of the greatest voices ever. I loved her records. She was the disco queen, and will remain so. I knew her and found her to be one of the most likable and fun people ever. She will be missed and remembered.’
