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.
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.
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!
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.
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 ruclips.net/video/-GhK4X-hMKA/видео.html
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 !
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.
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 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.
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.
Riposa in pace Donna, un mito x tutta una generazione che ha ballato ed è cresciuta con le tue musiche e le tue stratosferiche performance. Grazie di tutto, ancora oggi riascoltato mette i brividi
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
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.
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.
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!!
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
OMG!! No one else could ever do this song justice like Donna! The most Beautiful rendition that I've ever heard!! I'm crying right now!! Just Beautiful! ♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏
How the hell can anyone top this made classic songs that will never be forgotten they should make a movie about her her kids should remake her songs living legend at her time died too young but her music lives on
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.
I'm certain there's no other singer who could duplicate this beautiful live performance. I come back to this time after time, and each time it's brand new. It's pure Donna.
Donna.................I love the way you sing this song which is one of my favorites. It is 2025 and I am 77 years old and these videos keep me going. Thank you!!! Love, Betsy B
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.
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.
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.
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!❤
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.
The lyrics are crazy and beautiful: Spring was never waiting for us, dear It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground beneath your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left my cake out in the rain And I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no, oh
scheckdj ..... She was not “ Underrated”..... sadly it was pure Ignorance that made you think she was “Underrated”.... she was Phenomenal. Rest In Peace Princess.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a limousine chauffeur in Los Angeles, I am glad to say that I actually met the lovely Donna Summer. This production video shows how special the song MacArthur Park truly is. It can be classical with the strings, jazzy with the horns, and operatic with voice. Music, my friends is your true partner. Through and through.
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.
My all time favorite female singer! I was fortunate enough to see her in concert one time, never forgot that time. RIP Dear Lady! Nobody can compare not then, and certainly not now. RIP!
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
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 лет назад+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!♥️
My family moved to Thousand Oaks, CA in 90's. I was in a Trader Joe's in Westlake Village and she came walking down the aisle with a shopping cart. She had a lovely coat on.
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.
Best female vocalist in the world, along side Gladys Knight . Donna Summer was such a wonderful , beautiful lady in my opinion. God bless you Donna Summer . THANKYOU x .
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.

Very aptly and rightly said: I share 101%!
Or getting sexual on stage!
Wearing vf basically nothing!
This women had one of the greatest voices of our time.

She sure did! I.love her especially in this performance!
I miss her so much

Diden my heart goes out to you 🙏
Years late, but hold it and keep strong my friend!

Her voice is so beautiful, the very best!!

What a beatiful woman she was. I keep a big space in my heart for her.

Eterna rainha das discol

Perfection!! Hell yeah.
Absolutely
Donna Summer , Is definitely 1st class the greatest voice ever ❤
"THE BEST OF TIMES WHEN DISCO WAS KING"
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.
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.
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.

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
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.

Saw bh exhibit during my pretty woman days. Lol.❤. Thanks!
2023 and she still gives me goosebumps ❤️
AGREE! She was incredible and her voice never paled as she got older. Saw her live years after the disco era. Was still incredible! Miss her!
❤❤❤ her

Her voices ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm here in July of 2023. I will never grow tired of this, ever. 💜

Joseph, I share your Thoughts and Sentiments. ⚘️♥️
She did give us so much pleasure, it's true. I certainly felt bad myself, like a tugging at my heart, when she died.
They gave the song all it asked for and didn't overdo it.
What a beautiful piece of art. The whole thing.
Beautiful and effortless!! Fabulous to hear this again in 2024.
Riposa in pace Donna, un mito x tutta una generazione che ha ballato ed è cresciuta con le tue musiche e le tue stratosferiche performance. Grazie di tutto, ancora oggi riascoltato mette i brividi

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
How wonderfully Donna Summer sings this song. She is definitely one of the best female vocalist.
Agreed, still the best to me
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
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.
R.I.P. Donna. We won't see anyone like you again in THIS universe...

this song is insane and she is the queen
The lyrics are crazy and beautiful:
Spring was never waiting for us, dear
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left my cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no, oh
One of the most underrated singers ever.....she was Elegant, Lovely and a Great Singer!!
scheckdj ..... She was not “ Underrated”..... sadly it was pure Ignorance that made you think she was “Underrated”.... she was Phenomenal. Rest In Peace Princess.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
LOL...oh ok Niagra!
Was never underrated lol, just was back in the 1970’s .
Loved Donna
Underrated? I absolutely think not. She is the Disco QUEEN ! When did you grow up? 😅
When Donna Summer takes the stage you are in for a treat she never
disappoints you.
She is one hell of a performer.
Love her and always will.
The greatest performance by the greatest performer of the disco era!!!!
Wow! What a voice. One word, magnificent!!
As a limousine chauffeur in Los Angeles, I am glad to say that I actually met the lovely Donna Summer.
This production video shows how special the song MacArthur Park truly is. It can be classical with the strings, jazzy with the horns, and operatic with voice.
Music, my friends is your true partner. Through and through.

Her songs remind me of a wonderful time in my life….I am so sorry I never got to see her perform live…
She was the Real QUEEN of DISCO !!! WE MISS YOU,Donna !!!!!! 😔🙏
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.
I had the pleasure of attending Donna Sumner's show in Brazil in Salvador. Magical moment of my life
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.
Oh my this is so beautiful, her voice, her emotions. There will never be another Donna. See you in the new system
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Which new system are you referring to @Annie Morrison?
My all time favorite female singer! I was fortunate enough to see her in concert one time, never forgot that time. RIP Dear Lady! Nobody can compare not then, and certainly not now. RIP!
Tear in my eyes, while watching this video. What a singer! I love her so much.
Yes, indeed. I tear up every time.
Glad to hear it wasn't just me! her music stayed with me all my life
Me too ¡¡

Bijou Bijou has uiiiiiiiiiiiii I
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
I had the LP in 1979, loved this song.❤
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 best voice in history. Donna Summer.
Tears but tears of joy❤😂🎉
My favorite disco vocalist! Gone too soon 😢RIP Queen Donna🙏❤️
Way too soon.
What a lady, what a musician.
❤❤❤❤
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 family moved to Thousand Oaks, CA in 90's. I was in a Trader Joe's in Westlake Village and she came walking down the aisle with a shopping cart. She had a lovely coat on.
we shall never have this recipe again - so sad RIP Donna you were loved
There will never be a singer as meticulous and artful as Donna Summer. She made the 70's+ special for me!
Wonderful! Thanks Donna!
even in her later years would put every one of this era to shame
What a talent?! Sad she's no longer with us, but I'm so glad I found her videos, now I'm binge watching her live performance!
The Queen 👑 of Disco.
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.
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.
Yes, winged messenger she nailed this song. Amazing
Donna is truly one of the Top 10 Greatest Female Singers Ever
Everything about this woman was incredible!!!
Rest In Peace 🙏 🪦 there will never be another like you Donna Summers/Tina Marie 2 Queens in Heaven
Best female vocalist in the world, along side Gladys Knight . Donna Summer was such a wonderful , beautiful lady in my opinion. God bless you Donna Summer . THANKYOU x .
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.
