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
In awe of this lady so full of love and spirit. What a loss.. 💞 TG for memorabilia n sweet find memories ....or I'd have a very sad existence. Music is what makes our hearts beat bless you all !!
That's profound!! I just felt lucky to join my friends in 1999 on her VH1 tour at ravinia and outdoor amphitheater just north of Chicago. She did not disappoint and I felt lucky to have had the opportunity to see her perform.
Some of these Divas today could learn something from Donna. No ridiculous vocal acrobatics, just a fantastic voice with power, range and soul. God, we miss you Donna!
All that I've seen now, have to wonder if she was 100% female? There's soooo many now that are questionable! Hate on this comment if you will, I just speak my mind! Look into the castratos of the past, just saying! Always loved DS, just now feeling we were deceived, with many others....ie: Pink, Whitney, Celine....etc~
@@613Tracee girl bye you sound ridiculous...all of these women you have named have given birth...so yes they are 100% female....the question is Tracee are you????? In the 21st century there is a lot of weirdness going on but let's not associate that with Ms. Summer, Whitney, or Pink.
There's def. A great band or 2 on the other side . Can you imagine in some beautiful garden of flowers n trees ,💜 then a spotlight goes to Donna,she's in a long tight fitting gown of her choice , n She starts singing Luv to luv you baby n everyone is there just hypnotized seeing her (age 32 is usual) appear n depart like a phantom .. Could it be magic is next !! And the crowd goes wild. And then ....u wake up w a grin thinking what an amazing dream...She owned McArthurs Park. ,have no idea what's up w baking a cake .. And it's wet n lost the recipe !! Who cares it's a great song !
When it's time To Close my Eyes say my last Good bye please don't you Cry for me because now I'm finally free. I ll live in your memory when you think of me. Chorus: There's Joy at the end of every pain and Peace the kind you can't explain I've moved on into that better place NOW face to face with God live well so you can tell those left behind that you will see them soon And God whose love is kind will guide them too , to be with you Chorus: Wow Now here We are. We'll Never be Apart again And Time will be no more Eternal Joy is that day that never ends We're Home "Home" by Steven F Gooden-Cohen
My beautiful wife passed away 3 years ago from cancer, only 48 years old, and she absolutely adored Donna - for all the beautiful cancer sufferers around the world......you go hard, and from New Zealand, I wish you all the very best.
Tina Turner, Whitney Houston,Aretha Franklin,Diana Ross,Gladys Knight,Olivia Newton John...Today: Beyoncé,Rihanna,Shakira,Dua Lipa,Lady Gaga... 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 had the privelege being in the audience when this was recorded and i never heard an artist with such a powerfull voice ,she blew the whole audience away ,i will remember this my whole life because she impressed me so much
Wow~Thanks for that info as I never knew Jimmy Webb wrote that song for Donna as another of my favorite songs was also written for Glen Campbell=Galveston~!!
@@RickaramaTrama-lc1ys Actually he wrote it that song at the request of Richard Harris in 1968. Richard had starred in the 1967 musical "Camelot" as King Arthur. Harris decide he try his luck in the muscial industry by by releasing LP Album, "A Tramp Shining" in August 1968. So Albus Dumbledore had pipes too! Link ua-cam.com/video/-GhK4X-hMKA/v-deo.html
I baLL every time ...writing this with tears in my eyes right now... she was Beautifully talented.. when are they going to put her on the top ✨👑✨ where she belongs above all these others who cannot even compare to her .. Queen 🎶🎶forevahhhhh I will keep writing this until I die .. I lOve her so much
Donna Summer is and will always be the queen of disco. She is an amazing singer . I was lucky to have been a teenager in the disco Era and it was the best !! Music was the best back then.
An absolute legend. There is and never will be another voice like hers. She sang FULL VOICE, and could belt out a note like no one else. She will be remembered through her music and incredible talent for all time. My beautiful, dear friend... I miss you so.
I didn't know she passed. A big chunk of my childhood died along with her. She was my favorite female singer of all time. Used to listen to her 45 records in my room, singing into my hairbrush like I was her! RIP Donna...such a magnificent voice!!
One of the most complex songs to sing - over 6 minutes long , layers, orchestrure, backup singers, live - and Miss Summer pulls it off like it is fun, no problem. BTW, watch her sing 'Last Dance' on Johnny Carson in 1978.
What a voice! I will never forget the day she died. Of course, she didn't parade around with her illness looking for sympathy while she was alive. She is singing in front of the beautiful throne of God for eternity. Rest in Peace, Donna...
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.
Definitely so very beautiful. Watching this video I cried knowing she fought her illness to the end. The one and only Donna meant so much to millions who also cried when hearing of her passing. 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.
The most fabulous disco singer of all generations. She was incomparable singer, she was simply the best. This concert in Belgium shows your importance and magnitude for all people in the world. We can see orchestre, chorus, back vocals, the music arrangement, all this is fantastic. And finally, your powerfull and magnificent voice.
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.
I lived in the Middle East and Disco was the main source of entertainment. We were contract workers making $150/month only, and we hung out with some of the stock traders and Royal Family members in the bar.
Donna is one off our great disco queens what a voice and stage appearance no one can take her crown thank you for your voice & songs and just for you being Donna!❤
THANK YOU Donna Summer for the music, the memories. Thank's to McArthur Park I danced my teen years to many competitions for which I got 1st place with my dancing partner. You are truly the QUEEN of DISCO; your voice, your music will live forever.
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.
People didn't realize what a great voice Donna Summer had until this song & "I Will Go With You (Con te partirò)". Ms. Summer, I miss you so much. Your voice was the soundtrack for the best years of my life. Rest Easy, Dear Lady.
As a white young man I was really into Donna Summer, I cried when she died. She gave us so much pleasure in her talent I know she is now entertaining God. RIP Donna. At 57 yrs old I find myself listening to to music of my youth, thank you Donna for my memories. Love you.
What a voice. What a song. We heard this on and on and on way back in the early eighties, when the Aids crisis began, our gay brothers were dying like flies in the heat, everyone turned their back on us and we had nothing left but our favourites who stood by us with their music to lift us up. Thank you for this - forever.
Her voice is 100% unique with resonance of a brass horn. Unlike other vocalists whose voices deteriorate with age, Donna's voice actually got better. There will never be another Donna Summer.
This lady nailed this song completely. I miss her, even now. And what an incredible ensemble to back Donna! Every one of them deserves credit for the fantastic sound. Collective genius.
Dale, It's a metaphor for the song writers relationship with his lady. He made a bad mistake (left the cake out in the rain) and he lost his one true love (and I'll never have that recipe again) meaning he'll never have a love like that again. Have a great day and keep listening to great 80"s music. -- I may be a little off on my knowledge of the song, Google "Jimmy Webb" the lyricist to find out more. The original singer was Richard Harris.
Totally superb performance and wonderful video. MacArthur Park by Jimmy Webb is one of all time favourite songs. The performance by Richard Harris takes some beating but Donna as always gives a simply superb cover version of this classic number. Donna had a special talent for making you feel alive and vibrant. My favourite album of her's is "Another Time, Another Place," which is totally fantastic.
Ok did anyone else notice the date this was done, and when she hit that first note, get chills on chills? Geez ! RIP Ms. Summer, we won't EVER let you die ! Thank you for everything !!!!!!
My daughter met her on an internship at MTV for Save The Music-Divas Live during her college education in music. She was so gracious and lovely. I rec'd an autographed CD which I cherish.
She was a big enough presence not to get lost in that monstrous stage show.
5 років тому+12
Her 56yr old voice is better here than when she sang the original studio version as a twenty-something. Phenomenal octave range never faltered. One of the most spine-tingling performances I've ever seen/heard.
How does anyone not love her! I can't believe there are thumbs down! WTH! She's a legend! One of my absolute favorites! Even my momma, a die-hard country music fan, had her albums! She was hands down, undoubtedly The Queen!♥️
There are people in life who are to good to be true. Donna Summer is the ONE, there is nothing more that I would have loved in my life but to see her live, at least once. Amazing!!!! You left too early, way too early. There will never be anyone like you!
Donna Summer had it all. Grace, beauty, matchless voice, and personable. The Queen of Disco. There was nothing phony about her music and voice. Miss her... God give her perfect peace
How we wish that she could visit us for a while and we could be happy again instead of this everlasting sorrow we are feeling now. May God hold you in his grace, sweet Donna!

We certainly do 😢
Very aptly and rightly said: I share 101%!
Or getting sexual on stage!
Wearing vf basically nothing!
She is never mentioned alongside the great female vocalists, but she definitely should be. She had an outstanding voice.
My favourite female vocalist of all time

She passed away in 2012, a victim to cancer.
She says with us through her videos ❤❤❤
Ana, you're absolutely right...forever grateful of Donna and her Superbly Gifted musical talent.❤
Great singers can effortlessly communicate emotion. This lady is a masterclass.
👍 agree. Either u got it. Or u don't. And Donna has it. In spades
❤❤❤❤
Weird. She is a mess of cocaine fueled fun. Get out of the house sister.
The world is a poorer place without her sparkling voice.
You're not kidding
My sentiments exactly bless her ❤️
Totally agree 💯, she was a great voice and very talented for sure ..
😢😢😮
Such a beautiful person and had such an amazing voice.

Sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss. It must still be hard. I adored Donna too, she would have been 72 yesterday.
Diden my heart goes out to you 🙏
Years late, but hold it and keep strong my friend!
i feel sorry for your loss it might be hard to go through it
This is the time when there were real singers
Tina Turner, Whitney Houston,Aretha Franklin,Diana Ross,Gladys Knight,Olivia Newton John...Today: Beyoncé,Rihanna,Shakira,Dua Lipa,Lady Gaga...
Before they put their incredible voices,their souls,their hearts.
Now they put their asses...Music and real artists are dead.

Pudieras decir en que lugar y fecha tuviste el privilegio de ver y escuchar esta actuacion de nuestra Diva.
Per the description above, this took place at Night Of The Proms - Belgium - 2005
Thanks to Jimmy Webb for writing this tune now 2024 ! AMEN to Donna we miss alot

Put her in the R&R Hall of Fame. It's not R&R if Dolly gets in.....Donna left an incredible mark in MUSIC in the 70s. RIP, Donna ❤.
Indeed ❤
Her voice got better with age. Like a fine wine, deeper, richer and that unique tone and power. Miss her
She died way to soon with lung cancer.
She was the best i have seen her three times in concert in New York
Donna Summer , Is definitely 1st class the greatest voice ever ❤
This women had one of the greatest voices of our time.
Absolutely, Donna gave everything she had to every song she sang and her voice and range were amazing. Heaven gained what we lost.
not of "our" time. of "all" times!
She sure did! I.love her especially in this performance!
I miss her so much
Your sentiment will be repeated for decades to come my friend
No disrespect to richard harris but this was always the way this song should have been done
i agree and i also like the Harris version.....Jimmy Webb wrote some fantastic songs
No auto tune, backed by real musicians. This is how it’s done!!!! There will never be another Donna Summer. Absolute vocal perfection 😊
Eterna rainha das discol
Totally agree ♥️
U said it the best. Hands down wow
Perfection!! Hell yeah.

Second only to Aretha.Whitney, Mariah and Beyonce couldn't carry this woman's shoe strings.A truly great talent.
Absolutely!
@@melvinsims5379 no way is she second to Aretha or Mariah. She has a power and versatility that none of the ladies you mentioned have

Another legendary artist taken from us too soon. RIP Donna. ❤️

Exactly
Very underrated singer that never got enough praise
Scott Simpson my favorite singer from the 70s forward... I miss her!
+BUSTY69 Yes so many put Whitney Houston on a pedestal but for myself Donna was better.
I didn't know she passed. A big chunk of my childhood died along with her. She was my favorite female singer of all time. Used to listen to her 45 records in my room, singing into my hairbrush like I was her! RIP Donna...such a magnificent voice!!
Queen of disco, queen of soul, queen of r&b. Donna could sing everything. She left us way too young.
Her songs are forever......
no one matches her
She's owesome. .. perfect wow
One of the most complex songs to sing - over 6 minutes long , layers, orchestrure, backup singers, live - and Miss Summer pulls it off like it is fun, no problem. BTW, watch her sing 'Last Dance' on Johnny Carson in 1978.
R.I.P. Donna. We won't see anyone like you again in THIS universe...
Sensational performance, literally brought tears to my eyes from the emotional force of Donna's amazing voice
Me, too. Every time I listen to this live version, I get weepy.
Beautiful diva !
She's in Heaven singing to the Lord !
Donna Summer made my generation have wonderful moments of pure dream and emotion.
What a beatiful woman she was. I keep a big space in my heart for her.
What a voice! I will never forget the day she died. Of course, she didn't parade around with her illness looking for sympathy while she was alive. She is singing in front of the beautiful throne of God for eternity. Rest in Peace, Donna...

BROKE MY HEART WHEN SHE DIED,,,,,,LOVED TO DANCE TO HER MUSIC IN THE 70S
Donna Summer could reach notes Richard Harris hadn't a hope of reaching Who told him he could sing?
what a great singer her vocals knew no limits.
The best live performance ever of a great song .
Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder had a far bigger impact on music than they are given credit for.
This and her other hits are timeless masterpieces.
Agreed
we shall never have this recipe again - so sad RIP Donna you were loved
I miss you! Donna Summer. The Queen of Disco!
Her legend will live on FOREVER!!! RIP

I'm so jealous! Treasure that memory.
Wish I had
ALL MUSCIANS, PERFORMERS, ALL VOCALS AS PERFECT AS THE MUSICAL ARRANGEMENT!!!! VERY, VERY TALENTED AND GIFTED DONNA SUMMER!!!💯💚
Welcome 2019, and I still don't know why "someone left the cake out in the rain." God bless you Donna!
Dale, It's a metaphor for the song writers relationship with his lady. He made a bad mistake (left the cake out in the rain) and he lost his one true love (and I'll never have that recipe again) meaning he'll never have a love like that again. Have a great day and keep listening to great 80"s music. -- I may be a little off on my knowledge of the song, Google "Jimmy Webb" the lyricist to find out more. The original singer was Richard Harris.

Totally superb performance and wonderful video. MacArthur Park by Jimmy Webb is one of all time favourite songs. The performance by Richard Harris takes some beating but Donna as always gives a simply superb cover version of this classic number. Donna had a special talent for making you feel alive and vibrant. My favourite album of her's is "Another Time, Another Place," which is totally fantastic.
lmo richard harris is a poor version plastic penny is a good effort
Rest In Peace 🙏 🪦 there will never be another like you Donna Summers/Tina Marie 2 Queens in Heaven
There's something about this performance. She goes to another level. RIP Donna.
It's magical!
i agree...she is childlike just beautiful
Totally agree with you. Listening still on NOVEMBER 8th, 2018. GOD bless her beautiful soul.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s like. Perfect.
Ok did anyone else notice the date this was done, and when she hit that first note, get chills on chills? Geez ! RIP Ms. Summer, we won't EVER let you die ! Thank you for everything !!!!!!
My daughter met her on an internship at MTV for Save The Music-Divas Live during her college education in music. She was so gracious and lovely. I rec'd an autographed CD which I cherish.
She was a big enough presence not to get lost in that monstrous stage show.
Her 56yr old voice is better here than when she sang the original studio version as a twenty-something. Phenomenal octave range never faltered. One of the most spine-tingling performances I've ever seen/heard.
Chills is right.
Amazing performance.

The white dress makes her look like an Angel to me... and of coarse she is in heaven signing along with so many other greats. will never be forgotten.
The best thing to come out of "Disco"! I miss the lady.
Plus she was HOT.
DEAR LORD
She was truly amazing. From my home state of Massachusetts. Her voice was flawless ❤️❤️❤️
Really amazing singer and what a beautiful voice. I really miss her so much❤️😘
Beautifully sung by such a classic woman , with an iconic voice .
I miss Donna! Her music is timeless. I saw her in concert once in Dallas. She sounded exactly like her records. That's true talent.
She was THE VOICE...and no one could (or can) compare!!!
There will never be a singer as meticulous and artful as Donna Summer. She made the 70's+ special for me!
Tears in my eyes,soooo goood.l love it💕💪‼️
The queen outdid herself on this one. Fantastic!!!
How does anyone not love her! I can't believe there are thumbs down! WTH! She's a legend! One of my absolute favorites! Even my momma, a die-hard country music fan, had her albums! She was hands down, undoubtedly The Queen!♥️
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
If anybody is talking her down they must be brain dead !
My favorite disco vocalist! Gone too soon 😢RIP Queen Donna🙏❤️
Way too soon.
What a lady, what a musician.
❤❤❤❤
There are people in life who are to good to be true. Donna Summer is the ONE, there is nothing more that I would have loved in my life but to see her live, at least once.
Amazing!!!! You left too early, way too early. There will never be anyone like you!
Omg! I've never seen this performance before. I have always'd loved Donna Summer but, Omg!
Miss u so much Donna, and my name is Donna.
I fell in love with her ever since I first heard her sing " Love to Love you Baby" on my car radio, one Sunday night, September 1977. RIP Sweet Donna
I loved this performance.
Everything about this woman was incredible!!!
Miss Donna aged just like the finest wine being served to the GODs
Donna Summer had it all. Grace, beauty, matchless voice, and personable. The Queen of Disco. There was nothing phony about her music and voice. Miss her... God give her perfect peace
Wow, the power in her voice and.. ehm.. no autotune in sight. These are the real artists 😘
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ MAGNIFICENT, UNFORGETTABLE VOICE, our forever QUEEN, you live on in the hearts of millions...........R.I.P.
What a song! What a voice! I think Donna S. is the best vocalist that ever recoreded this song.
yep
The Richard Harris version is good, but Donna's is better :)
Woww es maravillosa esta canción con todo su Equipo Orquestra voz , coristas etc
How we wish that she could visit us for a while and we could be happy again instead of this everlasting sorrow we are feeling now. May God hold you in his grace, sweet Donna!
she was so beautiful...
And what happened, right?! Something went wrong...
Wolter - no respect for the dead?
I believe that she was about 57 there. She was still gorgeous.
Fuck Wolter
She never lost her beauty!
