I'm not too sure what year exactly but I believe she passed away around 2016. She always was so beautiful and classy. I remember at work when I heard the news the station as a tribute had played " Last Dance " and I just lost it. Miss her so much.
Yep, I was a kid in the 60’s, a teen in the 70’s, and in my 20’s in the 80’s, so great to be young and witness the golden era of real talent from the 60s through the 80’s!
Jamal: Not this song but "Love to Love you baby", another Donna Summer song was banned on many radio stations across the country. Fortunately I lived near a City that played it on FM radio, which was in the 70's sort of still new becoming standard in stereos and cars in the early 70's (I was kid, but remember my parents first car with FM radio, big deal back then).
I heard Donna Summer for the first time, when I was sitting in the bar, it was the spring of 1976 and I had my hair cut off, because the other day I was drafted into the army. I sat and listened to some beautiful, sexy song, there were girls around and I thought, that for two years I would be deprived of this opportunity. It was only after the army that I found out the name of this song was "I love to love you baby" and this singer became very famous and popular ...
@@franksmith7419 I was just making a cultural point about the song and putting it in historical context for anyone who grew up in the 1970's. As a kid in the 70's, like any other kid, most who heard this song were sort of like oooooh boy. I was talking about being a kid in the 70's when the song was played on a radio station that I could get on an FM dial, the mere notion that some radio stations banned it made it all the more exciting when you got together with your buddies to hear it. You sound like that guy who nobody wanted to be hang around with.
I know! Bowie wasn't wrong. We wouldn't have Chic, Blondie, Japan, Duran Duran, a-ha, and extended club mixes without this. It literally bridged the way to early 80s music and New Wave, which means without it, then there'd be no chillwave nor Eurodisco nor trance/house nor techno now.
You're awesome! I'm dealing with cancer, sjogrens syndrome, hypertension, etc...pretty much all I want to do is sleep, but watching you makes me smile and puts a little pep back into my step! BE SAFE GOD BLESS! 🇺🇲🙏❤
Dave, you've found some very potent medicine in the form of Jamel's reactions. They always lift my mood immediately. Take care of yourself, sending you prayers and a virtual hug from Italy🇮🇹🤗💗
An interviewer asked Del Shannon around this time if he liked any of the new music. He said he thought Donna Summer was great! He was right, of course!
Beyonce could not hold a candle to Ms. Donna Summer, on her worst day. She was the simmering sexuality of form and movement with a voice that could keep you hypnotized for days! She was and IS the epitome of style and grace, bold and beautiful and CLASS! No matter what she sang it was great
I've been in love with Donna Summer since I was a young boy in the 1970's. Gorgeous woman and one of the great voices of her generation. She was unbelievable. Watch "On The Radio" or "Last Dance". You'll be happy you did :-)
@@Doggeslife This was right around the time Mary Tyler Moore finally was allowed to wear pants on her own TV show. For one scene. Because pants were too damn sexy for women in 1978.
@Dahoss Fabricated? No. She earned her kudos. Beyonce has been performing since her age was in single digits. I'm not a "Destiny's Child" fan by far, and I am definitely not a fan of this type of music....but the lady has fantastic pipes and deserves the credit. Forget the hip shaking and over-produced videos. Look away from the screen and just listen.... : ruclips.net/video/drZ6O57ZZRo/видео.html
Thank you Jamel for including Donna in your lineup. She was one of my all time favorite singers in the late 70s. Beautiful clear voice, a huge talent. Left us too soon. I'm glad that you had an opportunity to experience her magic. If you're interested, Last Dance and MacArthur's Park are some good choices. Also, Bad Girls and Dim all the Lights.
"Love To Love You, Baby" was another one of her popular songs. When I was little, I know a lot of teenage boys at my church got in trouble for having that 45! She'd been an actress in the German staging of the 60s musical Hair, so she had a very theatrical way about her in her early career.
I read Donna’s book. She never wanted to sing Love to love you Baby. The record producers made her sing it. Over the years after she married and had kids she refused to ever sing it again. She felt nasty singing it.
Sadly, the Enchantress that stole my heart when I was a young man passed away from lung cancer in 2012, she was 64. I fell in love with her the first time they played her music on the radio, even before seeing her, and then, after seeing her, she had me captivated, mind body and soul. I will miss her dearly, my heart still aches to this day. A horrible way to die. She was one of Dick Clark's most favorite performers on American Bandstand, so much so that she became one of the few - if not only people to guest host as well as co - host American Bandstand. She also co - hosted many of the "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve" shows. She was loved and adored by everyone, especially me. Thank you for playing this Jamel, you're a good man.
Sadly no. Donna passed on May 2012. I miss her all the time! She was SUCH a talented singer, could sing anything! She STILL gets overlooked a lot because people don't know what a contribution she made to music, especially dance/electronic music! She was WAY more than just disco though. She could REALLY sing!
I have to say it man, you should have dedicated a full week at least to this woman. One of the most beautiful/sexiest woman to ever walk this earth. With the voice of an angel. I have been in love with Donna Summer as long as I can remember. Do yourself a favor and watch the movie 'Thank God It's Friday'. Either way DO MORE DONNA SUMMER!!!! PLEASE!!!
There is a before "I feel love" and an after "I feel love" Brian Eno described the song as a collision between the electronic sounds coming out of the Krautrock scene during the early and mid 1970s from Germany and gospel music. This shouldn't have worked but did in a spectacular way and transformed the whole direction of popular music.
Yes! I think song helped my Mom to be the tiniest bit more accepting of the music I would gravitate toward in the late 70s: Gary Numan, Blondie, Roxy Music, Split Enz (I didn't discover them until I was 12), and later Kraftwerk, The Human League, etc. Synthesizers introduced unbelievable new layers and sounds.
A song of it's time. Beautiful and talented Donna Summer doing the singing, the electronic driven music of Giorgio Moroder setting a rapid pace, but her smooth slow vocals did their own thing. Just a great song. I'm going to have to watch the Disco movie, Thank God it's Friday, now. I saw it was on Amazon prime new LOL
Hearing the live version with the backing singers, it almost sounds like a Gospel number!!! Exactly like the original record, but totally different!!!! Brilliant.
She was amazing...one of my all time favorites. If you get a chance take a listen to her VH1 concert. MacArthur Park is amazing she also did a duet with Barbara Streisand that's good called No More Tears. I loved everything she did. She is one of the few celebrities whose death made me cry. ❤
Donna summer. One of the best most sexiest female singers America has ever produced. Don't forget the guy on the keyboard..... Giorgio moroda. I believe the brains behind this song. He is undoubtedly one of the best musicians/ producers planet earth has turned out. Top drawer.
They killed this live. This lady had a hell of a voice and she was a class act. Nope, no twerking or revealing clothes necessary. RIP Donna Summer. Also, I just have to say that the production value of the studio version of this song is something to be experienced. Give it a listen even if you don't react to it.
try love to love you baby, No she passed . And if you have any little ones RUclips Fairy tail high by Donna Summers. Miss Donna will always be the Queen !
The Queen of Disco!!! She also sang.. Last Dance, She works hard for the money, Heaven knows, Dim all the nights, Love to Love you baby, Hot Stuff, On the Radio, Bad girls!
Nice! Notice their conservative wardrobe for the performance. The backup singers are literally covered from head to toe. And Donna, the Queen of Disco, was a "good Christian woman" so she too kept herself in such a way. Mainly because her first single, "Love to Love You Baby" was so blatantly erotic, it was banned on many radio stations. The full length version included naughty orgasmic sounds they eventually edited out for the single so it could get some airplay. Her other disco hits included Spring Affair, MacArthur's Park (remake), Sunset People, Bad Girls, Hot Stuff, On the Radio, and a duet w Barbra Streisand, Enough Is Enough. In the 80s she still produced dance music, but not disco persay. She Works Hard for the Money was probably her last mega hit before she retired, and denounced her lurid life in the 70s and returned to the church. RIP my Queen
Donna Summer, what a legend! I can also highly suggest: "Love to love you baby", "Hot stuff", "She works hard for the money", "On the radio", "Last Dance", "Bad girls" 😎
Am I right in thinking that this was the first time a synthesiser was used in a song. Donna Summer was a legend. Fabulous singer and performer. Thanks Jamel. Your making Monday a good day. 😊🎶👏
Not quite the first use -- there had been plenty of tracks before this that used synthesizers, including the MiniMoog that Giorgio Moroder is playing. This one is generally regarded as the track that broke synths out of the "prog-rock" genre they were more usually associated with and paved the way for New Wave, Synthpop, and spawned the Hi-NRG electronic dance music genre, though.
@@lipby cough. Plenty of examples of music using electronic synths and other tools. I dunno what's going on here though - there's clearly a live band, and some pre-recorded bit - but apart from Donna's lyrics it doesn't sound much like the original to me. Pretty dreadful version, IMO.
Thank you for covering Donna. I agree with previous comments: amazing performance by her and the backup singers but that groundbreaking record was not done justice by this performance through no fault of their own. Please listen to the studio version. One if your followers shared it in a prior comment. Thank you, again! God bless the one and only Donna. RIP.
Donna summer. Queen of disco , raw talent. Beautiful and mesmerizing voice her songs never get old. One of the best entertainers of all time and gorgeous
Not only one of the best female voices ever, but drop-dead beautiful at the same time. Donna. RIP. Loved you then, love you still. Thanks, bro. Great share. Peace out.
Moroder did stuff on that recent Daft Punk record where they collaborated with all those classic producers. He did some great stuff and the girl could sing.
He's producing the upcoming Duran Duran album, and I think Nile Rodgers will be joining them again, so I am ridiculously excited. How has it taken this long for that to happen?!
I was going to say, Daft Punk had a lot of input from some real innovators on that album and they deserved all the awards they got. The 70s guitar riffs are unmistakably Niles-inspired. They also had help from Paul Williams, Julian Casablancas, Pharrell... The best album in the last 10 years, IMO.
Okay - i had to stop listening to this after 2 mins. This is a travesty - Donna's doing a fabulous job, but this an abysmal elevator musak version of the music - it's DREADFUL. This is the song as it was supposed to sound, Jamal - for the love all that is good about great music, put a pair of headphones on and listen to this in all of it's groundbreaking glory. 12"/8min version ruclips.net/video/B2qI6UDD2uQ/видео.html
The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert were on tv late night. You’d get home to make your curfew and then turn on the tv to watch. Donna Summer was the QUEEN of my teen ages years.
RIP Donna, beautiful woman, beautiful singer
I cried hard when we lost her. She lived not far from me, and she was my first celebrity crush. I adore her still. R I P Donna. 💔
Couldn't agree more!
I miss Donna. Btw--Vocal control??? 10 out of 10. Astounding! 🙏
like everything else , we all die sooner or later

I was a nightclub bouncer for over 20 years and Last Dance is still being used to bring the night to a close.

Everything about that was pure class.
Donna is known as the 'Queen of Disco'! She was such a sweet and beautiful lady!! Rest in the arms of Jesus sweet sister!
Throwbackness Monday with the Queen of Disco, Donna Summers. So much 70s music all around. Love the 1970s.✊🏾
Long live the queen

Excellent song so hot
Muscles was Michael Jackson mostly.
Have you heard her cover of Barry Manillow's Could it be Magic? IF so...you'd needed a cold shower.
I thought Love Hangover was Diana's attempt to be sexy . Love to Love You Baby it's not LOL
Wow, Donna Summer was a beautiful woman! This lady couldn’t miss with anything she did ☝🏼
Had the biggest crush on her when I was a kid! She has it all!
Me too!
Yeah, many of us did...ah, the stuff of my adolescent dreams... 0_0

Please listen to the studio version. One if your followers shared it in a prior comment. Thank you, again! God bless the one and only Donna. RIP.
React to the Blue Man Group version of this song! Video title: "Blue Man Group - I Feel Love". It's awesome!
Venus Hum OWNS that track! :)
@@mysticvirgo9318 Totally!
This! Very fresh take on it worth the time 5x over.
Sadly, another great performer that is no longer here.☹️
Finally someone reacts to Donna Summers! She's beautiful and has an incredible live voice. Also note this was the start of electro on the keyboard.
Donna summer. Queen of disco , raw talent. Beautiful and mesmerizing voice her songs never get old. One of the best entertainers of all time and gorgeous
My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio.
YES!
You like this then please check it “Love to Love You Baby” love to see you react, but more importantly “dance” to that one
I was born in the Summer of 77.
My mum was a huge disco fan.
Donna Summer was her absolute favourite
Not only one of the best female voices ever, but drop-dead beautiful at the same time. Donna. RIP. Loved you then, love you still. Thanks, bro. Great share. Peace out.
Moroder did stuff on that recent Daft Punk record where they collaborated with all those classic producers. He did some great stuff and the girl could sing.
He's producing the upcoming Duran Duran album, and I think Nile Rodgers will be joining them again, so I am ridiculously excited. How has it taken this long for that to happen?!
I was going to say, Daft Punk had a lot of input from some real innovators on that album and they deserved all the awards they got. The 70s guitar riffs are unmistakably Niles-inspired. They also had help from Paul Williams, Julian Casablancas, Pharrell... The best album in the last 10 years, IMO.
Sadly Donna Summer passed away a few years ago.
Love our Queen of Disco ! She's singing with the angels now!! You gotta do On the Radio, bro!!
She works hard for the money by Donna. Classic early 80’s hit from her, I would your take on it.
Beyonce or JLo couldn't touch Donna Summer or any of the women of the 70's.
That's a bit simplistic and generalized.
Okay - i had to stop listening to this after 2 mins. This is a travesty - Donna's doing a fabulous job, but this an abysmal elevator musak version of the music - it's DREADFUL. This is the song as it was supposed to sound, Jamal - for the love all that is good about great music, put a pair of headphones on and listen to this in all of it's groundbreaking glory. 12"/8min version

Dave F Yup, I thought the same right away.
Yeah..........this is a terrible version of an extraordinary track.
The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert were on tv late night. You’d get home to make your curfew and then turn on the tv to watch. Donna Summer was the QUEEN of my teen ages years.
She passed away with lung cancer 😢
😭💕
RIP Donna!
Studio version is 100% better. Just sayin".
Donna Summers..... my dancing goddess. Nice lady, nice singer. She will be remembered. Great talent like her have a place in music history.
She was fantastic and will always be!
Man talk about bringing back memories. I still remember opening the album on the radio when i was a kid. Thanks for this one.
