😍
I am here..loved her. ❤❤❤❤
Donna for ever ❤ Love from France 🎼🎶🎵💃🕺🎶
Me 😊😊😊😊
Hands down the most underrated singer in pop music history. Donna Summer's name should be mentioned in every conversation about great singers.
DeshaunX The best!!!!!
No question a true legendary singer, one of my all time favorite entertainers, the real queen of disco forever
She was never underrated as far as I'm concerned. She's great.... all her song's are good!! 🎵🎶👍😂😘💕
Absolutely right.
agreeeeed she was simply breathtaking
She is completely at ease in this performance, no trying to impress with vocal acrobatics, just pure class.
Pure class!
She was great
Her and Whitney had this ability…like she was just in her zone!
She didn't need all the props, pyrotechnic and background dancers like the singers of today.
For those who have enjoyed Donna's music, I can say from the bottom of my heart that we have been truly blessed to have had this gorgeous, talented, humble performer in our lives. R.I.P dear Donna for you have brought so much joy, graced our lives and there will never be another singer like you.
🎉
ANYONE. WATCHING. THIS IN 2020 AND LOVING HER. AMAZING VOICE ?
I am, and loving it. She survived so much racism, and no one talking about it

I am. :)
Aug 2020 in Christchurch, NZ. Cos..Donna Summer!
The power of her voice, look at the placement of the microphone...what a talent, taken away because of damn cancer. I loved her.
Donna Summer was a phenomenal singer, one of a kind superstar entertainer, now in Heaven eternally
I miss u donna summer
This is when singers actually CAN sing and she SANG! Love u Donna xx 💋
Love this woman, love her talent!
I love her 😍
Over 90% of that audience is white. A lot of her band was white. She was color blind & everyone loved her. She wasn’t queen of disco or soul. She was just “the” queen. Such a powerful voice
I am from UK and white, colour has nothing to do with it to me, most music is what it is, this is ace, to me, sound and music has no colour my friend👍 But I liked your analogy
@@Gazr965 my ex-wife was from England. When she first arrived 35 years ago, she said within a month that she realized racial issues in America weren’t the same as England. Donna could have this concert anywhere. At the Apollo in Harlem it would have been 98% black. But, she chose to sing her first live concert to almost an all white audience. You would have to live in America to realize that is extraordinary & tells you a lot about her
@@JP-qc8ud Thankyou.
dnt forget selena adore here.. shes latin
As a young white man of 19 in 1979, Donna Summer was my celebrity crush...Back then I would have traveled though 100 Texas Tornado storms to just get a glimpse of her. She was a rare person/sight RIP Ms. Summer...there will NEVER be one like you.
Respect ❤️
I too, am of the same age as you. I was in NYC at a disco called "The Garage" dancing all night to this song. A most gay night, indeed. Ah...bring me back to that time.
Flawless. Pitch perfect. Never a misfire. And the power! She made it all look effortless. It's a very rare thing to sing so loudly, with such power and still be controlled and musical. God I miss her.
I could not have said it better myself!
With ya all the way. Her effortlessness was almost a greater gift than that magnificent, powerful voice...never mind the beautiful face. I thank the heavens for the complete Ladonna Gaines package. She was already halfway to heaven when she was just born.
yes so many slept on her, I didn't realize how good her voice was for years
A lot of us have missed her...
Donna 'One Take' Summer. Recorded most of her songs, if not all her songs in 'one bloody take'. Enough said! Amazing talent. Just amazing!
Whenever someone says "Disco sucks" I can only reply that they must never have heard Donna Summer. Yeah.....disco defined her, but that woman could sing ANYTHING.
That is only because they could not dance.
AMEN to that! She was the GREATEST in ANY GENRE!!
Her voice is OUTSTANDING!!! One of the greatest singers of all time!!! And so effortless!
Greatest female singer of all time. Not only kicked down the door, but built a whole new highway for female singers to travel down.
Without her, there would be no, Beyonce, Taylor Swift or Rhianna.
There will never be another Donna Summer. She is criminally underrated and unrecognized for contributions to pop culture.
Don't forget that she wrote or co-wrote her songs too.
Joseph Valenzuela she didn’t on MacArthur Park. It was written by Jimmy Webb
She deserves a kennedy center honors and rock and roll hall of fame induction
@@jaybansale8857 agreeee
yess
Universally recognized as the top female performer of Disco, she comes across as a great human being as well.
Yes the ultimate Queen of disco.
Donna was so underrated by her peers and the industry, one of the most powerful, and beautiful singers that ever graced us with her talent..... Thank you Donna summer 💕
Idk about that. She was hailed the Queen of Disco, Won countless awards and topped the charts globally. She was more respected and celebrated than people realize
Our Queen from Boston❤! Always & forevah.

You'll get this reference, and it applies to Donna Summer:
I went to the Jerry
It's right near Roxbury.
SHE LEFT US TOO SOON, I STILL CRY ABOUT IT.
I see her sister and husband on vocals.
I'm crying again now. I'll never stop missing her until I'm dead myself.
She was one very talented lady who certainly left her mark in the music industry. I was very saddened by her death seven years ago. She was one of the most talented women singers of her era, better known as the Disco Queen. I remember hearing this song just about every day in 1978 when I was getting ready for school. This song shows her vocal range so well that one would never know that she was covering a song originally sung by a man.
Crying so hard because I'm realizing what a huge loss we've experienced of this beautiful song bird and amazing woman and mother.
Jamil Gotcher , I feel the same way about Whitney Houston, Dolores O’Riordan of the 1990s Group, The Cranberries. Wonderful guy singers such as Prince, Tom Petty, David Bowie, Freddy Mercury. These people each left their mark in my opinion.
I miss this whole era: quality writing, singing, and attention to detail.
You are so right sir. Also in the same era: politeness, tolerance, caring about your fellow human.
@@patrickh4540 Exactly! Was going to say "don't forget class!", but you basically said it for me
Her Voice, Did It All!!!
Yep. And I was born in wrong generation
@@sheenajoycesongcuan7861 me too
She got better and better as she got older. This was 1999. So much richer and stronger than in the 70s.
When the music industry had talent.. miss you Donna🌹
2022, 75 years old AND still listening & ENJOYING this beautiful voice, gone to soon.
Same here, only I'm a mere 73 years old....
SHE can Sing....Not Naked...RIP .Gone Two Soon.
Eu tenho 75 anos, estou em 10/7/22, e curtindo esse esplêndido sucesso de Richard Harris na lindíssima voz de e DONNA SUMMER! PRESENTE PARA MIM! GRATIDÃO! Vera Lucia Malta, RJ, Brasil! 💚💛🎼😃🌸🙆🌷🙌🌼🌹🌝🎁🎶🌹🎼🌞🎸👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I’m 62 and listened from 15 / 16 .Dance floors filled up when her songs came on.Brilliant xx
Que lindo beautiful 🌹
Donna Summer’s voice was a gift from God. God called Ms. Summers home and left us a legacy to appreciate.
if I am blessed enough to get to heaven,I hope I can dance through with Donna singingxx
I bet she's killing them with her voice up there. God bless her & rock on
I think every evening, God have a giant live concert with Donna, Elvis, Michael and George and all the other great singers high above.
She could sing....nothing to do with any god. Please
Beautiful song
Why was this wonderful lady not rated more highly? She wasn't just the 'Queen of Disco' she had so much more versatility and her voice was fantastic!
In 1980, she felt a great need to go back to her Christian roots and didn't let hollywood tell her what to do or sing and didn't care to know what she won for awards, the competition, etc. ...which hollywood likes to shun when that is in a person they think is in the palm of their hands. She also had told them that she was there to sing.
She began singing in church when she was eight-years-old...
"I opened my mouth and this voice just shot out of me. It shocked me and it shocked everyone in the room. I started crying and everyone in the room started crying. There is no doubt in my mind that God gave me this voice." -LaDonna Gaines (Donna Summer)
@@Proverbs3- Many thanks for this info.
Helen Howell. Hi. From PUERTO RICO. . Donna. . so. Lady . Beatiful. Her voice
Sorry to get a little technical but her vocal placement is phenomenal!! Love her voice SO MUCH!
She is technically almost perfect...but to top it all off is her ability to produce emotion with her voice! She is simply amazing. What a pleasure to hear her!
She is classical singer or a broadway i don't know what's that called. But She migrated to Germany for a while when she was in her early years before becoming a popstar and a worshiper of God in their Church. That explains why the versatility and top-tier singing of hers. Those teachnique and skills imparted to her are countless.
Just a great voice pop music history. Donna and Giorgio, ruled the 70’s and. 80’s.
I now right she was a amazing singer
She defined an era, and richly deserves every accolade bestowed
Cantava demais! Diva como poucas que ainda existem. Bom dia.
Maravilhosaaaa....simplesmente.
What a voice and sings without any visible effort. She is truly missed.
Pure Class!
When i was 14, she was my hero... though all my friends (The Cure, Crosby, Sills, Nash and Young, all 'the alternatives) thought i was 'a fool'. But now they all understand; she absolutely was... one of the best!
Great Rob!
She was the First Black Female Singer to be in the Rock Hall of Fame !
Agree!
Donna did to me what the Beatles did to opposite gender fans She was super hot in her disco years DROVE ME CRAZY!!!
I had a similar experience, Ron. Thanks for sharing yours. Love to love DONNA!
I had an uncle in the music recording industry. He once said to me that Donna Summer was the only performer that he had ever seen that TRULY knew how to hold a Mic. The distance from her mouth truly expressed her magnificent vocals.
Whitney Houston knew how to hold a Mic. 👍
😉
We’ve lost both Donna and Tina in a decade. How much more can we take? RIP Donna Summer and Tina Turner.
Right! It's too much. 😢💔
Genuine talent. A master class in how to sing ! Putting the singers of today to shame.....
A Magnificent Legend, one of the finest singers in the history of music, rest in peace eternally in Heaven, God given greatness
Todays singers lack both the talent & quality that Donna had.
Boy you said it! Everything is real: brass is brass. She can sing. Back up vocals are real and can sing beautifully. Donna’s staying on pitch was legendary.
She was the most underrated vocalists of all time. She’s one of the best that ever lived
What a Voice, what a performance, brilliant. The music of my youth, so thankful the time I shared with songs like this
If this song doesn't move you and put you to tears it would beg the question, do you have a soul? This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written in the history of music.
There will NEVER BE ANOTHER DONNA SUMMERS..I actually had the Privilege to meet her. Attended Grammar School with her Daughter..Always a pleasure seeing the Queen of Disco. R.I.P My Queen..
It's Donna Summer
The Queen of Disco 🙌🙌
the queen of pop alongside with Cher =D
Indudablemente
Yes , she IS the Real Queen of Disco 💃🏼
Donna Summer, wherever you are, thank you for the emotions you left us thanks to your splendid, exuberant, exceptional voice! ❤
ドナ・サマーのレパートリーの中でもドラマチックで彼女の才能を発揮した曲…当時何度も聴いた。
Ladies and Gentlemen This is The One and Only Lady Donna Summer
one of the best songs ever - by truly one of the best female vocalists of all time!! Her voice was so powerful and just incredible
Stunning , no other words can describe her . Still can sing better than ever at her age .
Yep. Can't believe she died.
True, she never lost her prime vocals.
When I listen to Donna, my neighbors down the road hear her too !!!Perfect!!!
The most beautiful voice ever! I’ve been listening to her since I was 13 years old- I’m 55 today. I will always love Donna Summer, she made me dream of greater things beyond myself. ♥️
the same for me, Donna Summer represents my start of teenagehood
@@ranibeaton5163 could it be magic she sang it the best
Miss Potter, Yes! I am 60 years old and was a teenager IN 1978, IN SALVADOR/ BAHIA/ BRASIL!!!
WONDERFUL TIME WE HAD!!!
GRATIDÃO DONNA SUMMER FOR YOUR VOICE!!!
@Miss Potter!
so nice !!
She is the greatest example of not needing to wear skimpy outfits to sell records. Pure talent.
AGREE MUCH 👍
lol she was the original female sex symbol in music. Let's not gloss over her beginnings. But yes, her voice is flawless and surprisingly got only better with age.
The body has taken its toll gracefully but the voice remains ever agile and melodious-feel the warmth of Summer in the winter.
Incredible voice, style, and presence , She was the franchise of the disco era . She defined the electricity that a singer/ star can bring to an audience. Right time, talent, and charisma. One of the greats….
She sings so easily, I do think she's underrated even though she's recognized by many.....still, she's one of the best. RIP Miss Summer.
😅😢 R.I.P LEGEND
What a voice!! One of the greatest in the history of music! I love Donna Summer. Really miss her. RIP BEAUTIFUL LADY!!
Back When VH1 was All about The Music
At the time, I was 17 ,and in love with The Queen of Disco. I am 54, and still love her . Rest In Peace my Queen
LOVE THIS!! I’m a Bostonian. GREAT, great, GRREAT!!! RIP!
wow you gotta be proud!
It’s quite sad that we won’t ever see another singer of this magnitude in our lifetimes; we were the lucky ones to witness her amazing talent in our lifetimes, RIP Donna!
IM AFRAID NOTHING EXISTS TO MEET THE DISCO QUEEN NOT TODAY NOT EVER R.I.P.
I miss her so much! She was the queen of disco!!!
She sure was!! I loved Donna Summer! I listened to her music and danced to her music all the time back in the 70's. Loved her and her music!! May she rest in peace. xoxo
Just saw the Whitney Houston movie yesterday and while I was reminded of what an incredible singer Whitney was I remember thinking to myself Donna Summer was one of the few people on the planet that could sing with Whitney Houston.
I agree with you 100%
There will only ever be one Donna Summer.
That part in MacArthur park when she got to "And ill never have the recipe again" I had one word to say and it was DANG!! This is a middle aged woman doing something that most pop singers now in days couldn't do no madder how hard they tried. Honestly I just wish she was still with us#RIP talented Angel❤
What a crush l had on this beautiful talented lady since l was 16! May she continue to rest in peace in the Kingdom of Heaven at the side of our Lord Amen 🙏 ❤️
Disco Donna was the Queen. Period.
Not an easy song to sing but she did it effortlessly. She might be gone but her music forever lives on. What a talent.
Donna Summer -- "Super Iconic Singer" So sad she left this planet so early.
It’s IS!…uniquely rare, to retain impeccable pitch, and tone at that decibel, without simply SCREAMING!
Like a few have done….few that shall remain nameless. Donna was a VOCAL GEM!
#totalbeastforreal
She was the best. I wish she was still here. She died so young & had so much talent
So beautiful and what a power voice .
She will blow you away with her voice. I have loved her music since I was young , now 58 and still love Donna .
She is and was the one and only disco queen.
R.I.P dear Donna 🙏
We all miss you ❤❤❤
To listen MacArthur Park in the voice of Donna Summer is a true delight. She was a carismatic artist.
This is a goddess in music. Her voice as strong and soft as a Summer breeze. Great as all the greats, is the voice of this one.
All hail, Donna Summer.
It's worth noting that her remake of this song went to #1 on the charts, whereas the original only made it to #2. Just gonna leave that there.
On the lighted Disco Floor, I danced to her beautiful voice! It was the best of times!
Donna summers was so great
She's Forever Great
Her voice was as pure as the first day we heard it.
What a powerfull voice.
Inesquecível Donna Summer ! Saudades eterna dessa fera super talentosa.
It fits her perfectly fine.
Just relate when i,m 7 years old and our niegbhour playing donnas album i, m so happy and dancing i, dont know why i, find her songs. Now i,m 58 i, miss so much donna voice singing disco music. Untel now i, always play on youtube feels so happy..thank you so much donna all your disco songs..rip from philipines with love!!
I loved Donna Summer since the late 1970’s. She was not only a great singer, she was pure class. Her vocal range was amazing and her live performances were awesome. I regret not seeing her in concert but I’m thankful I can see her here anytime I want. Sing with the angels girl…the heavens will be joyful tonight❤️
💔🌹🕯️
Donna Summer is the most versatile female that ever recorded. I have been a fan of hers since 1976. When she sings live she sounds like the original recording or better. No one can sing her songs. Her vocals have always been outstanding. Donna Summer ranks #6 in worldwide record sales selling an estimated 180 million records. I am saddened that it will be 10 years this year 2022 that she passed away on May 17th 2012.
I miss her. One of the greatest DIVAS in the music industry. May she rest in peace with our Lord.
The Grandeur of this song is amazing. With her matured voice, it sounds even better. Her absolute Opus Magnum.
Im in tears watching this. I love her so much n her songs are timeless like her. So broken that I'll get to see her live. What an eternal gift she has left for humanity.
I can't believe that it's 9 years ago today that we lost one of the greatest vocalists of all time. Donna Summer made singing look effortless and was underrated by many when she was alive. She however stands high in the pantheon of legendary music icons. We are fortunate that the music she left behind will be with us for eternity for future generations. RIP. Donna,you were simply a bright star that time will never diminish xx
I've never heard anyone pull that song off like her.
She knows how to work that mic too.
I work with lots of high end singers and the good ones do that.
She is truly missed. What a great loss.
The undisputed Queen of Disco was also one of the best singers of all time and she should have been more recognized for it. 🤩
Absolutely beautiful ! No straining on her voice ever ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
There will NEVER be a singer as gifted, beautiful and sweet as Donna. The "recipe" she had was really One Of A Kind. 💖💖💖💖
Great singer, no back up singers, no dancers, out there on a island doing her thing at the highest level.
Right? And no autotune. A truly gifted musician.
umm i think there is more than one or two back up singers hello! But all the same she did an amazing job here - super star
All these people saying “she’s so underrated” clearly never knew how popular and mainstream she was and is. She was the queen of disco and is etched in music history as one of the greats.
If you think she was unnoticed then you just weren’t paying attention or too young to realize.
I think many consider her underrated by how she is viewed by rock history.
High voltage creshendo voice deserve a handful of applause 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😻
One of the best singers in the world
The audience obviously love her, what a great performance.
One of the most iconic female vocalists ever. Top 5 all time
Effortless and transitions from high notes to lower notes vise versa are smooth. Brilliant!
I can't express my gratitude for being able to watch Donna Summer perform. The video is high definition and the audio is sharp and clear. Let me be clear. I appreciate the HD video so I can see just how beautiful she is. And the crystal clear audio to hear that unmistakable and gifted voice.
She makes me tear up! She set the tone and intoduced us to the Seventies with her POWERFUL VOICE! PERFECT PITCH AND CLARITY!
her voice had a timbre no other contemporary singer had. I cried a little when she passed.
What a talent she was..What a voice she had!
The year is 2020 ...
Me: Looks up word "perfection" in dictionary.
Dictionary: This beautiful woman, this beautiful song, this beautiful music, this beautiful voice, this beautiful performance.
I remember when Donna first appeared on one of those late '90s "Divas" music specials on VH1 -- it was a wonderful shock to hear how strong her voice was and how great she looked -- I literally called all my friends and demanded they tune in immediately. What a talent!
This is it, what you are referring to...
You're talking about in 2000 Diana Ross tribute Diva shows.
now for some master class in singing - no strain, no drama - just pure delivery😍😍
Dear Millennials! this is the pure talent quality voice agree?
She's fantastic. My partner saw her in concert. I am so jealous.
Chad English get another partner!
I saw her back in the 1990’s at a smallish venue. I was very lucky and really enjoyed her performance!
She was truly the queen of disco.
What a magnificent singer she was! She moved so many with her fabulous songs & touched so many hearts!😍
The fact that her voice sounded almost identically the same on vinyl or live, provides a clear illustration of the depth, tone, and quality of her unique and effortless ability to sing. The queen of disco vocally, but a woman of the people in her approachability and her common touch - a truly gorgeous lady! RIP
You can't hear this song just once.Her voice is addictive
So TRUE - I NEVER get tired of it !!!
