      @rvl480van5 7 років тому +26

      Connie Mahaswaren: Whitney was a very good singer but she tried to put herself on the same level as not only Donna Summer but Chaka Khan and other great singers. I'm sorry but she had the potential to be a great singer but she came along at the wrong time... the eighties...which was not as kind to R&B singers as say the 70's or the 60's.During the eighties, even great R&B singers such as Stevie Wonder and Patti Labelle kind of sold out by watering down their music to some extent. Fortunately, singers like Patti Labelle, Stevie Wonder and others had already achieved greatness by the time the eighties came along. Unfortunately for Whitney, she was just getting started when the eighties came along and was never really able to really reach her potential. Imao, Whitney lent her voice to some rather subpar songs during the eighties that were not worthy of someone with a voice like hers. This, in my opinion, diminishes her stature as a great singer. This is why I say she is not worthy to duet with someone of Donna Summer's stature.

    There are some bad things happening in the world. This song and this singer is so good, it reminds us all that there are so many good things in the world.
    The song and Donna's voice is stuck inside my head, I keep hearing it over and over. .

    Listening to her and Barry white takes me back to when I was a little boy listening to this on the AM Radio yes AM radio in Dads Ford LTD. Those were good peaceful times to me, life was good! Singers had real voices and had class unlike most today. Darn I miss the good ole days. 56 now but listening to this makes me feel 8 years old again lolol

    Anyone who was of drinking age in the late seventies in clubs knows very well how magical it was when this song came on dancing. My memory is palpable right down to the smells, people's faces in a blur to the beat under the spinning disco mirrored globe. Intoxicating in every way.

    You know, 'I Feel Love' used to be my favourite DS song (EVERYTIME it came on the radio, I used strut my stuff, as best I could, for a 9 year old). But, the more I heard this, the more I liked it. Especially, the bit from 1 m.44 s to 2 m 24 s. Just, a, FABULOUS, cover song. RIP, DS - Your songs will live, forever!

    Brilliant. A few months ago,naively, I thought Donna's only hit was "I feel love" because it was the only I'd ever heard. Slowly I've discovered more of her songs, "bad girls" "hard for the money" "loves unkind" "this time i know it's for real" "last dance" to name a few and now this gem. One of the most underrated singers ever. RIP Donna Summer. You gave us the gift of your wonderful voice, talent and music. I only wish I could of seen you live. Gone too soon.

      Oscar Montalvo, You must be awfully young. Donna Summer was a huge star, and the Queen of Disco in the 70s/80s. No, not as big a star as Houston, but hardly anyone was. She was certainly adored by fans, and I'm pretty sure the industry was happy with her, though her turn to Christian faith maybe wasn't quite so appreciated. But she worked hard for her money, and they respected that. She suffered from a boycott in the mid-80s and her career never quite recovered, whether or not she actually said some anti-gay things (she denied this, but the boycott was probably at the worst time for her career as her new record label seems to have made mistake after mistake). But she continued to have hits way beyond the length of many pop careers, and she was even more appreciated in Europe. Even much later she had hits on the dance charts and so on. Very few artists have sold as many records, either. from Wikipedia: LaDonna Adrian Gaines (December 31, 1948 - May 17, 2012),[1] widely known by her stage name Donna Summer, was an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She gained prominence during the disco era of the late 1970s. A five-time Grammy Award winner, Summer was the first artist to have three consecutive double albums reach No. 1 on the United States Billboard 200 chart and charted four number-one singles in the U.S. within a 12-month period. Summer has reportedly sold over 230 million records worldwide, making her one of the world's best-selling artists of all time. She also charted two number-one singles on the R&B charts in the U.S. and a number-one in the U.K.[2]
      Summer earned a total of 42 hit singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in her lifetime, with 14 of those reaching the top ten. She claimed a top 40 hit every year between 1975 and 1984, and from her first top ten hit in 1976, to the end of 1982, she had 12 top ten hits (10 were top five hits), more than any other act during that time period. She returned to the Hot 100's top five in 1983, and claimed her final top ten hit in 1989 with "This Time I Know It's for Real". Her most recent Hot 100 hit came in 1999 with "I Will Go With You (Con Te Partiro)". While her fortunes on the Hot 100 waned through those decades, Summer remained a force on the U.S. Dance/Club Play Songs chart over her entire career.

    dá vontade de chorar muito quando ouço essa maravilhosa musica dos bons tempos de minha juventude, no auge das discotecas, no bairro da Moóca em SP na discoteca Hypopótamus na av Paes de Barros, era puro delírio, era um mundo de sonhos, éramos puros, existia o verdadeiro amor, época dos anos dourados que não voltam mais, sou muito feliz porque eu estava lá e pude curtir muito, mas muito mesmo, namorei muito, hoje com 65 anos vivo de ótimas lembranças...................

    3:14 thru 3;36 - other worldly - Donna Summers voice is just pure power - god given talent
    Jimmy Webb wrote this song 10 years earlier about a breakup he went through that happened in Los Angeles/MacArthur Park. The cake is a metaphor for their broken relationship. The "green icing flowing down" is his world falling apart before his eyes. They'd been together for a long time - 'never have that recipe again' - he feels he will never be able to love someone the same way again.
