When our favourite artist dies, one of the saddest things is accepting that there will be no new songs, new videos, or new photos. What we have known is what we have, what we can count on; but sometimes within the legacy left by the artist, wonderful surprises appear like the one you share with us here. An excellent presentation with impeccable image and sound and a spectacular reaction from the audience in the studio. Thanks VJ for sharing this gem!
There is the potential for LOTS of new songs, new photos, and new videos. It's just a matter of her estate getting its act together and actually starting to release items from archives.
This live version far exceeds the recorded version. I love how her personality comes out in this video. She’s so beautiful and gracious, and you just smile watching her and seeing all of the audience just totally happy and excited to see her.❤❤
Her and Whitney Houston (80s to early 90s voically) was the the most clearest singers ever to exist. Also, I would say Gladys Knight as well. Nothing scratchy.
Once of those RARE performers from the disco era whose live performances, as in these two, could actually exceed the performance quality of the original recordings. Dear beautiful lady, your voice was exquisite, you were a beautiful lady and a beautiful person. The angelic choir in heaven has been joined by yet another voice whose Crytal clear voice can never be forgotten.
all i can say is i really wish we could have those days back you where my singing hero when i was a teen i love and miss you so much rest in power my sista !!!!!!!
It happens that I can compare her with Selena as it matter off facts Selenas was a Donna summers huge fun both where beautiful and charismatic there voice will never die
@@Mr02151965 hey dude I grew up on Donna Summer, when disco was at it's height and hey day with most female singers riding the disco craze, Donna Summer took the mantle of Queen of Disco and nobody could deny that she was the best. Donna Summer = Queen of Disco...I saw it unfold with my own eyes.
@@aarondigby5054 off course she was my Queen even though I was 13 years old when I started to listen to her back in 1978 and until now there’s no other singer besides Sade that will take her Crown 👑 off course Sade is a different time
We had lives of no important complications. Now it's have to live trying to dodge all that only cares about money, no matter what we're supposed to accept from in return. Life is now a constant rip off. Those kind of Zombies love it all, others let it constantly happen, and both think it's an honest living.
God she is one amazing vocalist... right up to her passing. The quality of her voice barely changed. Definitely one of my most favorite female vocalist 😍
I danced to her songs a lot in the 70s at the Disco Inferno. Every night her song Last Dance was the last dance of the night. Loved all of her songs. Glad I grew up in that era! Love to listen and let the memories of her songs come back.
Wow. Wow. And, wow, again! She set such a high bar for vocalists/musical artists. So few since have come even close to her natural talent and stage presence. She'll always be my favorite singer and I feel blessed to have seen her perform live twice. It was real music, real theatrics and, most of all, a real voice. Donna Summer is incredible.
She was my first favorite singer. I remember being about 8 years old and thinking she looked and sounded as beautiful as an angel.... Always will love her!
A shame she was never recognized appropriately. No lip-syncing, sung live, sung real. Never inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Truly a shame.
Wow, it was hated by some people back then, the Disco Era, but this was a awesome era when people of all races just got together and danced their cares away, to the one and only, Donna Summer.
I was given a pair of tickets in 1983 on her evening concert that I had no idea about. I called up a friend (girl) and asked her if she wanted to go and she agreed. We were still teens and had no idea on to get to Concord from San Francisco and didn’t own a car. So we took the Bart train and we both had no experience of the city of Concord but were determined to see the legendary Donna Summer. The concert was great and glad to see her once. This was for her “She works hard for the money tour” and that song and video was a big hit and played all the time. After the concert, we rushed to the Bart station and we almost missed the last train and would’ve got stuck in Concord and didn’t have money for a cab ride back to the city. Thanks Bill Heart for the free tickets.
Saw her live at the Universal Amphitheater. When she sang those first notes we all looked at one another with astonishment. The power and depth of her voice had a sound all its’ own. What a loss. Sing from the heavens Donna !!!
Wow. Just amazing. Takes me back to when I was a little girl watching my Mom navigate being a young, beautiful divorced mother in the 70's (we were better for it!). She rarely went out but listened to a lot of music!
Wow! It's ashame that Donna died and did not get full credit. She was the benchmark for that whole disco fence era. And it was a great era indeed. The main point,have fun and enjoy being young. 😁
OMG! Can't believe I came across this on UA-cam! Remember this too well!! Fall 1978! 8th Grade! 13 yrs old! What great memories. RIP Donna Summer and Dick Clark🙏
God wants these Angels back in heaven. Lends us the opportunity to experience real music and tells us to remember who is in charge of everything that is good 👍
Amazing! Donna dominated disco like no other. It pains me that she isn't given the respect that she deserves. I hate hearing the same artists and songs all the time on the classis stations here in LA, with Donna being played every blue moon and mostly just Hot Stuff. And true one hit wonder are in heavy rotation.
⭐⭐⭐Donna Summer⭐⭐⭐ 🎙🎙World Class Vocalist🎙🎙 Always sings effortlessly and knows how to command the audience's attention. Her live performances vocal wise always sounds very close to the original recording. I miss her so much. All hail to thee 《POP VOCAL QUEEN》 ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
The words escape me, I had the opportunity to see her at The Universal Amphitheater. I have seen many concerts, but once she sang the first notes, I sat unable to move. Her vocals reached right to my inner soul when she sang some inspirational songs, and publicly spoke of her Christian faith. I will never forget that night, nor will I forget the spirit of Donna Summer. Her passing hit many of us hard,but I take comfort in knowing where she is and who called her. Blessings, 💙🙏💙🙏💙 thank you for sharing…
Irene Cara said that she and Donna Summer were good friends. Now both of them are lighting it up in heaven. They did what God sent them here to do. May he be pleased with them.
Thank you for posting this! I was in 10th grade in high school when this aired. I’m not gonna lie, I miss those times. Way less complicated because of being only 15 years old. The song “Last Dance” came from a movie called Thank God It’s Friday. Every Friday morning at 8:00 a.m., the guy making the morning announcements over the the P.A. at my school, Belmont High School in Los Angeles, would start by saying “T.G.I.F. Sentinels!” 💚🖤
macarthur park is The greatest pop song of all time. The greatest voice in pop. Perfect and magnificent work. Disco could be an art because of this. I havent maybe been a disco generation but am still here to be mesmerized and stunned by this song and pure bliss and ecstacy of disco. And even miss the disco era with this song to experience it in my eyes and ears. The greatest song ever.
My older sisters played her albums all the time when I was little back then, her voice always sent chills down my spine with her vocal range. A beautiful woman with a voice only angels could dream of. Long live your music Donna xx
One of my favorite songs even though i have not been to the park and continent love from trini always Queen Donna Summer...keep on shinning in power..ire ooo.
Donna Summer was and will always be "The 👑Queen of Disco 👑". I am so glad that I was born in the early 70s. The 1970s was the best decade for music. I miss the fashion and the music.
What a legend and what a live performance, especially Last Dance! Her voice and style of singing is undeniably out of this world! She never got the praise and recognition she still deserves. Maybe it was due to "Disco", that people snubbed her, but nobody can take the quality of her talent away. Donna, we will never forget you!
She undoubtedly crowned the "Queen of Disco" where have you guys been. Well I was born in 1958 and grew up during the r&b pop funk disco craze and Donna Summer got it all while she was here, you don't get crowned the Queen of Disco by all your contemporaries when 70% of them are singing disco. She was the disco "it" factor.
Beautiful lady and she was so talented, what a voice! May this lovely lady we were blessed with her beautiful voice and her beauty RIP! The late great Donna Summer!
Donna summer such a great vocalist she was always on demand icon, trailblazer, legend Queen of music so underrated she deserved so much more and the music industry did her so wrong rest in peace Queen 👑 God truly new your gift and talent. 😇🥰💯❤️🙏

Completely feel the same now that we lost Olivia Newton-John. Both Donna and Olivia were my go to girls from the 80s. RIP Donna and Olivia
She lives on thru her music and the good way it made people feel.
Thank you 💗
@@Junior-cp9se Thank you 💯

Freddie Mercury said she had one of the best voices of his time...That's good enough for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And he didn't tell a single lie. Also, high praise coming from him bc he had an impeccable voice
She had the best voice in history.
Donna's voice was next level. No one could sing like she did; the power, the tone, the clarity, the beauty and she could sing in any style.
Her and Whitney Houston (80s to early 90s voically) was the the most clearest singers ever to exist. Also, I would say Gladys Knight as well. Nothing scratchy.
@@Fourwindsofsuccess Agree, but not sure about Gladys Knight.
Donna had the best vocal skills in history. Hands down.
Dick Clark said she was the most underappreciated artist he ever met.

If you lived through the disco era, you know when her music came one, everyone was on the dance floor!
all i can say is i really wish we could have those days back you where my singing hero when i was a teen i love and miss you so much rest in power my sista !!!!!!!
Wow she had the audience LIT! Her stage presence was unmatched.
Crowds went out to party back then and she didn't disappoint.
@@georgemoore528 Now all they do is pull out their stupid phones and record.
We lost her too young, such a great powerful voice and so underated as a singer!!!!!!
Damn, she was the real deal! What beauty and talent! Unlike the wannabes today!! RIP Queen 💜
Donna Summer and her music will live forever and ever and eternity.
It’s SO rare that such talent, beauty, intelligence, and class come together in one person. Truly one of the best ever.
It happens that I can compare her with Selena as it matter off facts Selenas was a Donna summers huge fun both where beautiful and charismatic there voice will never die

This woman had the whole package. She was IT. She still IS.
@David Richardson DONNA SUMMER IS A GODDESS. It is plain to see.
and she Will be...
This really brings tears to my eyes remembering my younger days…Seems that people were more happy then…I know I was. Great era to be a teen!

stop im sad cuz im a teen now and im so depressed and this music makes me really sad and nostalgic even tjo i wasnt there
@@danielpeyrou nostalgia is warmth... now as then... smile
We may have lived in the best time of all lives. If not we have had a hell of a ride. 75 in 23🎉😊
Totally agree.
Donna Summer has a very powerful and beautiful voice. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who could match her talent ❤
Holy sh**! What talent, and makes it look like nothing! I don't have the words.
Amazing Donna. We are Keeping listening you...
She was our goddess . One of the greatest voices of the 20th Century.
Thank you Donna for being part of our lives.
She is the Real Disco Queen!🪩👍🏼🎉
@@pedroballadares5253 YES! And we all danced....
God she is one amazing vocalist... right up to her passing. The quality of her voice barely changed. Definitely one of my most favorite female vocalist 😍
Yeah, she doesn't get the notoriety she deserves. Her vocal range was phenomenal.
she died?
@@user-sp8eb6iz7f In 2012.
Her voice improved, like a fine wine
I danced to her songs a lot in the 70s at the Disco Inferno. Every night her song Last Dance was the last dance of the night. Loved all of her songs. Glad I grew up in that era! Love to listen and let the memories of her songs come back.
The first time i heard Donna sing was in 1979. And now it's 2022, and i'm still listening to Donna Summer. I just love her.
Wow. Wow. And, wow, again! She set such a high bar for vocalists/musical artists. So few since have come even close to her natural talent and stage presence. She'll always be my favorite singer and I feel blessed to have seen her perform live twice. It was real music, real theatrics and, most of all, a real voice. Donna Summer is incredible.
Oh!! Luck you!!
yes lucky you! I heard an English/spanish on the radio. Good, but it just wasn't the same as HER voice. just unmistakable.
She was my first favorite singer. I remember being about 8 years old and thinking she looked and sounded as beautiful as an angel.... Always will love her!
Same here bro..saw her twice in Dallas,,,,,just amazing
@@angelaf5040 me too! I was nine 😊
Good God, at 9:45, you're looking and hearing the voice of an Angel.
Flawlessly LIVE sung , NO playback.
A shame she was never recognized appropriately. No lip-syncing, sung live, sung real. Never inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Truly a shame.
She there now! The best voice in history.
She was (is) the best. She could deliver a song.....Over the years she grew as an artist. Love you Donna Summer!
Donna summer was gorgeous
I love you….. A great singer of all times.
She was a great singer, so sad she left us so soon. I have always loved her music.
Wow, it was hated by some people back then, the Disco Era, but this was a awesome era when people of all races just got together and danced their cares away, to the one and only, Donna Summer.
She is just totally incredible❤
One of the very few artists who had received such a great gift, knew how to use, to nurture and preserve up to her last days.
Queen of disco music ❤❤❤

I cannot even imagine, wow.
I was there if it was in 1978!
She could dance circles around any singer today. And she sounded in person like her records.
Whay a great talent she was! Happy, happy days, weren’t they?
I remember buying the Double Album Live and More and the MacArthur park suite was side 4 the whole side fantastic, what a singer and artist.
Wow. Just amazing. Takes me back to when I was a little girl watching my Mom navigate being a young, beautiful divorced mother in the 70's (we were better for it!). She rarely went out but listened to a lot of music!
She was so beautiful ❤️
She was as beautiful as her voice. Those were the days, dancing in the clubs to her music.
Am I the only who had a major crush on Donna Summer? Wow now looking back, not only did she have beauty, grace and stage presence but what a voice!
Brandy and Kelly Rowland have some of Donna's Facial Features but not the voice.
Donna Summer was Beautiful and talented, But my Crush was a rising star 🌟 named Irene Cara. RIP Donna and Irene, we miss 😢 both of you.
Donna was the top female of her time this is proof, they loved her, she had them up! I miss her! She definitely lead an era!
She is the Ultimate Diva. No one can compare...
Without a doubt. The Queen of Disco. She was fantastic, beautiful, and most of all. A good person. RIP my Lady.
He sang beautifully and lived beautifully.
As I recall, I've been a fan of hers for 55 years.
Wow! It's ashame that Donna died and did not get full credit. She was the benchmark for that whole disco fence era. And it was a great era indeed. The main point,have fun and enjoy being young. 😁
Still unmatched
Such a clear and beautiful voice. No one else like Donna Summer.
And ladies and gents that's how U nail a live vocal .....band is cooking background singers on fire and Donna powering above it all ...U legend
Couldn't agree more.
I love the guy dancing in the aisle at 5:26 Donna Summer had the whole globe jumping back then she was definitely a phenomenon 🎵🎶🎶🎵

My childhood i wish i could go back ❤️

Nothing sounds dated. All her songs are good. No filler at all. 🪩💙🌈

I miss the fashion and the music.
The raspy note at the end of MP was epic !
Yes, in fact it surprised me. And then I realized, oh, yeah, - she sang ROCK too :)!!
