I was one lucky dude in spring break 1980 or 81. It’s so long I can’t remember. My buddy’s friend was Donna’s hairdresser in Fort Lauderdale Florida. They put us front row that night. Most memorable concert
THIS IS LIVE FOLKS. ONE OF THE GREATEST FEMALE SINGERS IN THE WORLD. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO GROW UP DURING HER GREAT CAREER. AND DISCO MUSIC. GREAT MUSIC. GREAT TIMES. GREAT PEOPLE. NOTHING WE HAVE TODAY. RIP BEAUTIFUL LADY.
Good Lord, not only a thick, rich, glorious voice but the most amazing connection to the lyrics and such incredible stage presence. There was just no way this woman wouldn’t be a star. When Donna stepped on that stage, she came to play and stayed to slay. I feel blessed to have grown up with her in my lifetime. RIP, Legend.❤️
Donna's repertoire was so vast. Disco was just one part of her to pigeonhole her with. She had hits in many formats. Ballads, classics, pop, even "Hot Stuff" cld be considered Rock. Donna was taken so young. Despite quietly being so ill, she performed for a charity concert @ month before she passed. Just amazing. Rest in Peace.
I was ten years old when 'Thank God It's Friday" came out, and my dad took me and my sister to see it. I thought Donna Summer was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. LOL! Still do!
Donna Summers is the most beautiful gorgeous sensuous sexy mesmerizing woman I have ever seen the queen of disco I mean she is so damn gorgeous best voice in the business I can't believe that we lost her way too soon
If I remember, Johnny usually didn't have too many disco/dance type of singers on his show, at least on the nights when he was there, so he must have really admired Donna.
Typical 21st-century celebrity-worshipping attitude. After hearing Johnny's intro preceding "Last Dance", I would guess she was booked to promote the film.
5 sold out shows in 1978, 8 sold out shows in 1979 at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. The day after her last show in 1979, a recording session was schedule for her to record a duet with Barbra Streisand. No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) was recorded.
Amazing Donna!!!!! I Love You just gives me goose bumps. She just runs on stage and in seconds gives this incredible vocal without any hesitation...WOW!!!
Johnny could have done the whole 90 minutes with Donna Summer alone and it would have been more than enough entertainment for the audience. R.I.P. Donna.
One of the most amazing performers of her, or any generation. The absolute total package of beauty, talent, class and grace. It's really hard to compare anyone to her when you really think about it. Her looks alone are hypnotic and when you pair that with her voice and stage presence you get goose bumps. She is absolute magic. I was crazy about her in 1976 when I was 16 years old and still crazy about her to this day RIP Donna the undisputed Queen of Disco!!
The auto play put this on after I watched "The Donna Summer Special," (I was wondering why the theme song to the "Tonight" Show was playing on my computer). This is a wonderful snapshot of history as Donna was hitting the big time (in the USA). She's about to do the Universal Amphitheater concert, she tells Johhny, which will be recorded and released as the double album "Live and More," being her first number one album (along with a number one single "MacArthur Park"), not to mention being the first of 3 double length albums to hit the number one spot, consecutively, becoming the first recording artist to achieve that. Her voice is incredible: soft and child-like whispers one moment to full throated power belting the next! I never get tired of hearing it. But it just isn't that she has such a wonderful vocal gift, she's also a great storyteller acting out the songs, so they become much more than just some nice sounding ditties: her delivery makes you feel the song on a visceral level. I grew up on singers like Summer (Streisand, Mills, Carpenter, Ross, Khan, Labelle, Parton, etc.), which is why I can't get into newer artists (the most recent I had any interest in was Winehouse and that's not that recent - Beyonce has a lovely voice but she doesn't do it for me and neither does Swift). Thanks for the OP for putting this up. I never saw this before.
Can’t have enough of this video. She’s thrilled with all the success she’s achieved so far. Donna was about to release LIVE AND MORE, which showed the world that she was much more than a disco music singer.
She displayed more charm, personality, and wit within an 18 minute span, than most recording artist display in their entire careers. The shame of it is that the machine/system today wouldn't be open to the idea of her being the pinnacle star as she was in the late seventies. Diana Ross and Barbara Streisand probably wouldn't admit it today, but accolades notwithstanding; Donna Summer had at least 2 or 3 years where her pole position in the ' It Girl' race was unquestionable.
You are absolutely right, but she has also a large repertoire of classical and opera music 🎵🎶 that is incredible. Check out her the range is amazing 😍🤩
I don't know about Diana, but Barbra would have to give her props because she went toe-to-toe with Streisand on "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" and Donna held her own (except for the alleged fainting from holding a note too long, but this recording session took place the day after the last Universal Amphitheater concert, or so the legend goes. And their voices blended beautifully unlike the Streisand/Dion duet.
I was born in 92’. I’ve been on a Donna Summer binge for weeks now. Many songs/performances I’m discovering for the first time. What charisma & powerful vocal ability she had. She’s the definition of a star 🌟
She is so underrated as a talent in the black or music community. They always cite Aretha who was a phenomenal talent, but DS had a truly unique sound and voice. I spent my late teen years dancing in the disco clubs to her music and I'll never forget that era. It was great!!!! In the latest documentary about DS, produced and directed by her daughter, there's a clip of her singing "She Works Hard For The Money" while she's in her backyard and it sounds just like the recording. Died too young. I had a chance to see her live in an amphitheater in Concord California in the '80's. I miss you DS!!!
Yes, so stunningly beautiful. So much inner beauty too. One of my favorite people ever. I'll never forget the power in her voice when I saw her in concert. I was just amazed and stunned. I was in awe.
Oh God That is My Baby.... She was So Absolutely Astonishingly Beautiful and Such an Amazing Vocal Talent and a Very Unique and Pleasing Personality and Extremely Intelligent... The Total Triple Threat.. I Love and Miss You So Donna.. Rest in Power My Most Beautiful Angel Princess 💝💝💝💝
As a South America kid my dream was to move to Hollyd and meet my idol. Glad to say my dream came true and Donna was all you could expected, humble, gracious and beautiful 💚🙏🏻🧘🏽♂
Fascinating period. She was just about to record "Live and More" . Thank you so much for posting. What a Star with stage presence, personality ,beauty and of course the BEST voice ever!
As I broadcast Engineer I can attest, in the analog world of the late 70’s, aside from some tube compression, what it hear is what it really was - incredible. In fact, the tape they recorded to at the time would have only captured a portion of the full bandwidth of the live audio, so it would have been even that much better live
This was the best live performance of hers that I've ever seen; I guess she knew the importance of getting it perfect on the tonight show, because she'd be seen by millions who would never forget this performance, and it would go down as the definitive quality of her singing. Many can't match their studio perfect sound; here, she proves she can do it, absolutely perfect, LIVE.
Donna Summer was a transformational singer who broke ground for women in modern music! Does anyone else hear a little of Whitney Houston in Donna's singing ? I bet Donna was a big influence on many great singers. Very confident, capable, and what an entertainer !
I had the pleasure of seeing her perform live on 14 different occasions over many years and she never ever disappointed Her vocals were always pitch perfect and flawless Miss her so so much
Remember hearing “Love to Love You Baby” on A.M. Radio when I was in grade school, I was completely mesmerized….You we’re wonderful and will always Live on in People’s Hearts 💕
All I can remember is that beautiful voice and beautiful face coming up as a kid I was in love ❤️❤️, I'm for real. Rest in peace baby 💞 I really do love you when she passed I cried for weeks😢.😢😢😢
Donna Summer. Power, Stunningly good looking, amazing voice and i love the way she interprets the music and dances. She was a legend. She can sing live with such ease. No one compares to her... RIP xxx
I am struck watching my icon that she did that song, alone, with no backup dancers or visible backup singers. She totally carried it like only she could. Today that would be unheard of -- the stage would be loaded with distractions that would make you think the singer was singing, but she/he may not be. She is just the best -- I just hope she realized it. With love Donna. R.I.P. xo.
I never saw this clip and I must say I was moved to tears seeing such a vibrant young talent.Donna will forever be loved and missed as an original artist and impossible to replicate. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The US first heard of Donna in 1975 with Love to Love You Baby, so this being her first appearance on The Tonight Show in 1978 is kind of late! She should have debuted at least 2 years earlier.
Not many or NEARLY enough songs in HISTORY are like this one in general! It starts out somber, then switches gears! Impressive AND intrinsically AWESOME for THAT!
Mine too!! There's a magic about that song. I ❤ the full version when she sings "he said I love you too".aagghhh 😩. Definitely in my top 5 favorite all time Summer songs and probably a strong Contender for #1. The top 5 vacillate from time to time
This is what performing live is all about. Flawless delivery of a demanding vocal song. Pay attention Ariana. You don’t have to be a great dancer to be a superb singer. All that’s needed is talent and Donna Summer had it.
I hope that when I’m older, I can just appreciate the artists from my generation without having to constantly make snarky remarks about the new talents. That’s all you old people know how to do…
@@BeeepMe911unfortunately if you are from this generation you aren’t even dealing with the same quality of talent in most cases it’s just the facts so I don’t think it can get much worse…..and even though you think you won’t do it you will AND you will most likely skip past todays talent and refer back to previous generations….You’ll see
I'm in my 30s and already am starting to see people in my age group do this to younger generations so no, I won't be like that. Unlike the majority, I don't let nostalgia prevent me from consuming new music. I also don't base my perspective on just mainstream music either lol. @@Ronniesaysso
Not one in a million nor in a billion, just a unique person who made and still make the world a better place with her wonderful voice. Will be admired 2123
The day she died i cried all day long. Im 64. I grew up in the best era of music. I loved Donna!
Me too, Donna was on every turn table. In the summer of 1973 to.1985!miss you always
Me too, I'm 66. She was thee best. Amazing voice. Love all her songs
Donna is one of the very few artists who can flawlessly sing live!
So agree with that
Church and musical theater training. Both are SERIOUSLY lacking in modern pop music.
Right?
@@MatteBlack2024Yep.
Her voice is unmatched and flawless 💜
Once Upon a Time is a stunning album in every single way.
I love seeing her like this. At the top of her game. Young, happy, beautiful and talented. I love you Donna. R.I.P.
there was never a time donna wasn’t at the tip of her game. Beautiful right up until she left us. RIP Donna. You are so missed
I was one lucky dude in spring break 1980 or 81. It’s so long I can’t remember. My buddy’s friend was Donna’s hairdresser in Fort Lauderdale Florida. They put us front row that night. Most memorable concert
not really happy. im pretty sure she was abused by her bf around this time

Your comments are just perfection, we don't have a single artist performing today that can perform in a variety of genras and master it😊❤
I loved and love Donna forever!
ABSOLUTELY 💯
Yep. No backing tracks. No pre-recorded anything. No AutoTune. And as Prince said of the stage "Ain't no computers up here y'all!".
Agreed and well said! 🙂
Donna Summer made our world such a happier place…She left us too soon. 😢
One woman, a microphone and a helluva lotta vocal talent. Donna was a true star. 🌠
I think all song was playback in this show.
But yeah - she was a great singer and she had many great songs.
@@r.maj.7065 She's definitely not miming.
❤ love forever !! BUT, that night was not LIVE singing at all !!!
Donna has never received the gigantic recognition she deserved....extremely famous...but there is still à little missing....what could it be ???
@@Johnmag1976 Probably the "Disco Sucks" backlash that permanently gave any artist associated with the genre some kind of scorn among critics.
Good Lord, not only a thick, rich, glorious voice but the most amazing connection to the lyrics and such incredible stage presence. There was just no way this woman wouldn’t be a star. When Donna stepped on that stage, she came to play and stayed to slay. I feel blessed to have grown up with her in my lifetime. RIP, Legend.❤️

Donna Summer was way more than disco, she was a for runner and an entertainer par excellence !
Queen of electronic music. I Feel Love will absolutely demolish a dancefloor even now in 2024.

When she looks at the camera 🎥 it’s hypnotic. I swear she’s looking right at me.
Amazing 🥲
You are so right! 😎
LoL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She actually WAS looking directly at you and I am extremely jealous!
Couldn’t agree more. The new documentary shows how truly gifted she was. Beautiful in every way.
Totally agree! No one had the stage presence that Donna had!
If I remember, Johnny usually didn't have too many disco/dance type of singers on his show, at least on the nights when he was there, so he must have really admired Donna.
I don't blame him at all

She sang great I miss her,nothing like her anymore.
What a brilliant live vocal!!!

DONNA SUMMER is outstandingly gifted with a beautiful voice. No one sings like her. Sadly, we are losing talented singer's.
Donna "one take and it's done" Summer, my favourite black female singer by a golden mile. Comes across as an authentic and lovely soul too.
She was the absolute Queen of the Disco Era. No one could touch her. Left us way too soon. #RIPDonnaSummer
Not only beautiful voice but the way she talks is so down to earth great personality so beautiful women so missed
Of all the disco divas who have come and gone, I can honestly say that this woman was, is and always will be my very favourite.
She displayed more charm, personality,

This is what performing live is all about. Flawless delivery of a demanding vocal song. Pay attention Ariana. You don’t have to be a great dancer to be a superb singer. All that’s needed is talent and Donna Summer had it.
