Donna Summer
Her real name is LaDonna Adrian Gaines, but the singer, songwriter, performer and artist went by the name “Donna Summer.” She actually started singing in her church as a replacement for a vocalist who didn’t show up. Oh, did we mention that she was just 8 years old? The world mourned when she passed away in 2012 of lung cancer.
Janet Jackson
Her last name is enough to get any of us worked up. Janet Jackson is the youngest of the Jacksons and has made it as a successful singer, actress, dancer and songwriter. Many can remember that scandalous concert where Justin Timberlake “mistakenly” revealed her to the audience. She had her first child in 2017 and only four months after that, she separated from her partner, businessman Wissam Al Mana.
