Wasn't a fan of most of her stuff, but Love To Love You Baby and especially I Feel Love are landmark records, and works of true genius.

you are absolutely on the money with that gryffe (sean?) i would have picked those two and 'mc arthur park' to make three. and she was hot to trot also. beautiful images in the papers tomorrow. RIP. T.

My first favourite artist. I was a fan 35 years ago and I still adore almost all of the music she released between 1975 and 1983.

Like everyone it seems, I heard nothing about her being unwell and was shocked when I heard on the radio earlier that she'd died at the age of 63. I was lucky to see her in concert in the Royal Albert Hall c.1987.

She released so much timeless music with Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, dozens of classic tracks, plenty never appearing as singles and yet is only really remembered for a few songs by many.

I really can't believe she's gone.
