    I had the honor of meeting her back in 1979. I was doing security for another celebrity. I was a nobody, but she treated me kinder than most people I’ve ever met in my life. People need to know that she was a very kind, sweet person. And beautiful as inside as she was out. God bless you Donna

    I was s street artist on La Cienega in Los Angeles in the mid 70s when I 1st met Donna Summer. OMG! Its my idol and had been dancing to her disco hits for years. She bought 3 of my large paintings and asked if I can deliver it to her Ihome on Benedict Canyon. OMG.
    A couple of months later I saw her at her concert with friends at Universal. Unforgettable! I gathered all my friends programs and mailed them and I asked if she would please autograph the programs. Got it back in 2 weeks. Such a classy lady. Few people will remember that she sang the Oscar winning song, Last Dance, in a movie she starred in. Gone too soon. I wonder how her daughters are doing.

      @FallacyAsPraxis Рік тому +6

      I was shocked at how little acknowledgement she received from the industry after she passed away. That made me sad. She was legendary in multiple ways...a trailblazer who's music rocked the nightclubs, radio stations, and music charts during much of the 1970s and early 80s in a very big way. When Disco ruled there was no one who was consistently better or bigger than she was. Of all the big voiced divas there are three of them that stand out above the rest: Dame Shirley Bassey, Whitney Houston, and Donna Summer. All three are blessed and gifted beyond words, but Donna stood out as a person who never let money, fame, or the industry rob her of her faith. If you've never seen her, watch any of the concerts she did towards the latter years before she got sick. She was so mellow, and she was always talking about how The Lord enriched her life. Yes, she will rest in peace until The Lord brings her back to life again. And he will. The Resurrection was the whole point of Jesus' ministry.

    When I heard she'd passed away I genuinely got a lump in my throat, that is extremely rare for me. I always felt I had a "Connection" with her as she always seemed to have a hit song for every stage of my life growing up in The UK. When I hear one of her songs I'm instantly transported back to a time & place that I vividly rememer. She was one of the greatest female artists there ever was or is. I miss her so much.

    As a limousine chauffeur in Los Angeles, I am glad to say that I actually met the lovely Donna Summer.
    This production video shows how special the song MacArthur Park truly is. It can be classical with the strings, jazzy with the horns, and operatic with voice.
    Music, my friends is your true partner. Through and through.

      Before they put their incredible voices,their souls,their hearts.
      Now they put their asses...Music and real artists are dead.
      Is my opinion...
      Supongo que con ese nombre y apellidos eres español como yo,pero lo he puesto en mi paupérrimo inglés para que cualquiera pueda entenderlo.
      Como echo de menos estos artistas con mayúsculas,esas canciones maravillosas y esa época en la que el arte y talento no estaban reñidos con la comercialidad y tampoco había necesidad de tanta coreografía ridícula ni meneo de culo. Yo me he criado musicalmente en los 80 y adoro esa década porque hasta lo más malo superaba con creces lo más bueno que pueda hacerse hoy en día...

    I met my (now late) husband in the 1980s. He was a teen in the disco era and loved his Donna Summer records, always playing it on a Friday evening in his tiny apartment. I would go to his apartment and we'd go to the movies or just go walk the streets at night in our city. Walking towards his apartment coming out the escalator, I'd hear Donna Summer coming from his apartment. O what I'd do to relive those times. We were together 18years when he passed away in 2005. I hope he is able to tell her in heaven what joy she brought to earth. RIP both angels.

In the 70's I was much younger and now I am 72, but her music made many of my sad times seem so much brighter because of Donna Summer. This was my favorite of all. Sing to the Heavens Donna ! We all Loved You. Always in my heart - Butch.

      I don't recall her being "underrated." To me, she was the undisputed "Queen of Disco.' But....I know what you mean. There is no way she could have been *over*rated. Likewise, she was so far above "par"...that "par" would have been in *insult*!
      So, I guess, this leaves me but with one option. I agree.
