Donna was underrated because she was associated with disco. But she was very talented and it's a shame that she isn't mentioned more.
Donna Summers was LITERALLY the most famous black woman on the planet in the Disco Era so PLEASE explain to me how that's UNDERRATED? What are y'all talking about?
@@earlcampbell7953 "Underrated" is the fact that hardly anybody mentions her when speaking of the greatest singers of all time. "Underrated" is forgetting that she (not Whitney Houston) was the first black female artist in heavy rotation on MTV. Yes, she was THE most famous, consistent, and successful artist outside of the Bee Gees during the disco Era, but not everybody watching this was born then or is old enough to remember it. She's not unsung, but she is definitely underrated when you consider that she had so many history making accomplishments and lesser artists receive A LOT more hype.
Donna is definitely not underrated! She's very well-known to all generations.
@@monilaninetynine3811 That's STILL not "Underrated" just because someone isn't speaking of you now, it doesn't erase what you've done because as soon as you do a special about that time period then she's gonna come up because she dominated it. People don't talk about The Bee Gees but it doesn't change the fact that prior to Michael Jackson's Thriller, Saturday Night Fever was the biggest-selling album ever. The kind of mark she left can never put her in an "Underrated" category she was a superstar, it doesn't matter that black people aren't talking about her in their petty little conversations about who's the best because I promise you that other people are.
@@earlcampbell7953 She's not as well known or celebrated as she should be in this current day and age. That's my opinion and that's all I have to say about it.
Someone should make a biopic about her. Kelly Rowland should play the part if she can act.
She played in like five movies. She's an exceptional actress, and she has a striking resemblance to Donna Summers, both are beautiful.
@@michaelgallien7970 Absolutely, I agree
Nah....
I agree Kelly Rowland similarize The late Great Mrs Donna Summers/The Queen👑 Of Disco 🎤🎶🔈🔉🔊🕺🏿💃🏾 that will be great movie to watch🍿🎥 🎞️🎬🎭🎫🎟️
YES I was gonna mention that. I think Kelly would do the job.
That's crazy how Donna Summers don't get her recognition like that she broke records in her prime and had number one singles/records before she died WOW 😳😮🤦🏿♂️
You are right. I really feel like Donna's story mirrors Whitney Houston in a way. She also received unnecessary judgement from black people. Black people also overlooked Donna heavily until she died. Oh by then, she was commemorated all over the black magazine publications at one time. If that isn't enough, many blacks also did not respect or appreciate (during the promotion for LTLYB) that her overseas acclaim came before her American success. She was not "trying to be white," she was just used to artistically immersing herself with various cultures for several years before LTLYB ever came about.
@@TheRetroWoman80 exactly
@@TheRetroWoman80 I so AGREE with your statement! When Donna was alive and making dance records in the 90s and 2000s, ppl didn't pay much attention to her. I noticed since her death in 2012, ppl all of sudden want to in a way..."worship" her now? Especially with the Kelly Rowland resemblance. Lol. I've been a fan of Donna since I was 4 when I first saw her TV special in 1980. I've seen her in concerts 4x and she even waved at me( that made my night) lol. I miss her and will always love her voice.
She just got that drive for music Donna Summer just got that drive for disco music I really don't like this go I like rap and hip hop and R&B and that's it.. disco I'm not a fan of it
@@TheRetroWoman80 I I can't believe that he got shot in her face
Donna Summer is an ICON ♥️✨♥️ GOD rest her beautiful soul 🎤
I love that song that song Hot stuff.
@@monicamariamclean2198 Me too.
@@positive___soul what's yo fav sing by her???
@Black Americans Against Socialism Thank you so much.
@@marchmadness23 I absolutely love the song "Last Dance" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jesse Jackson is the last man on earth that needs to be judging anybody about anything. Besides fathering a child out of wedlock and never giving the mother a dime, he had a well-known affair for years (while still married) with singer, Roberta Flack, and even her song "Jesse" is clearly about him.
👀
don't you talk about the Great Jessie Jackson
You all know that it's rumoured that he was complicit in Dr. King's assassination right? Notice King walk pass Jesse after "Mountain Top" speech King's last
@@Elwrt455 I didn't know that it was a rumor. I thought it was a pretty much established fact. Reminds me of when Al Sharpton was going around calling Whitney Houston "Whitey" Houston and boycotting her music. I mean, don't y'all have protest marches to organize or something?
🌾👀🌾
Hands down and ten toes down, Donna Summer is the QUEEN of disco! I was a huge fan!
Mrs. Donna Summer was so beautiful.. What a legend
Donna summer was a amazing singer rest in peace god bless her 🙏
Rest in peace Donna Summer amazing talented black woman that will forever be missed 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
A diamond in the rough that has so much attention and all the music labels had to do was let her do her thing and find her own way and make her own music maybe she wouldn't have been so happy now her spirit is up there with God so now she's happy and a better place rest in peace 🕊️ 🙏🏼🙏🏼😓😓😓Donna Summer
I still remember being 6yrs.old &hearing “Last Dance” 1978 all I kept thinking was she’s so beautiful-I would tell my mama to play her records every Saturday when my mom would deep clean I loved her voice her music❤️
Thank you for this story such beautiful childhood memories I have with her music👍🏼RIP MISS DONNA SUMMER🕊
I just really admired her beauty
She was a lovely woman.
She was absolutely beautiful
I had no idea she sold over 140 million albums. That is NO easy feat. You have to have people vibing with you on a Grand Scale, to pull off those types of numbers. And THAT in a era, where you had to physically go out, to buy your albums of choice.
Exactly 💯she earned the title she was given.
Right
@@musiclover-cn7tb ABSOLUTELY! 💯
yes she had 12 top 10 singles back to back
Facts❤
donna summer is a legend and one of the biggest selling artist of all time🎤🎤
I could imagine I could imagine that's why I don't go to clubs cuz too many things be happening people just don't know how to enjoy their self enjoy the moment they always got to be causing mayhem.
@@monicamariamclean2198 what?....you repeating yourself.
Can't nobody tell me my girl ain't work hard for her money!!
Exactly that part ☝🏾
Wow! Donna Summer was so beautiful! Kelly Rowland looks just like her! I hope Kelly Rowland gets the part in the much talked about Donna Summer movie. RIP Queen Of Disco. 🎶🎵💕🙏🏾
Yeah that would make it a must see. Why can all black girls act and look like her. So refreshing.
@@alphaomega8373 I agree 💯
Donna Summer was just a disco Queen legend rip to the queen of disco Donna Summer 😓😓🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😭🤣
Beautiful? Godmother of wigs and weaves
They definitely played Donna she wasn't afraid to speak out they don't want people looking into her story smh.
I’m so ready for a movie on her life and I want Kelly Rowland to play her!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Me too
Donna Summer hands down! A beautiful Icon.
Rest in Power to the legendary Queen Donna Summer
Yesssssssssssssss finally my girl The Queen of Disco Donna Summer
Donna Summwr is one of the greatest female singers of all time. Nuff said!!
She is one of my favorite singers. I never tire of ANY of her songs, and there are too many to count. Beautiful and eclectic is how I will always remember her. She was beyond disco.
SAME HERE!!!
To me she is indeed the queen of disco. Loved her whole demeanor. Hot stuff and Bad Girls are my funky and naughty favorites. In short i love all her songs. May she rest in perfect peace 💛
I wondered why ppl questioned her sex. You've cleared up that mystery. Racism has done a lot of damage to our ppl. I had no idea that was her daughter on My Wife and Kids. Donna's music will live on forever.
She was so good looking, how could anyone doubt she was a woman?
All of her daughters are very talented. Brooklyn is in a few movies , one is called " Rain " and she gets to sing a lot in it. Her youngest daughter Amanda is in a band called Johnnyswim with her husband and a few other musicians.
Because some men think women can't be tall or muscular. They did the dame to ciara and megan the stallion
Donna Summer was a great artist may she R.I.P. 😓💯
I'm gonna need Kelly Rowland to go ahead and get this story to the big screen... Donna is an ICON period... Her style.. Her beauty.. Her talent.. Legendary. There is no one like her.... Continue to rest in peace ❤️❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Absolutely
Donna Summer was one of my childhood favorites....Love her....RIP Donna Summers💖💖
So much is not known about Donna. This was definitely needed and other documentaries delving deeper into her life
She is one of the most underrated singers ever and the doors she opened are even attributed to other artists. There are not many who accomplished as much as she did in the music industry. She deserves to be remembered with respect.
It’s deliberate. She was in it, not of it. She lived a very private life and her first love was being a wife and Mom THEN Singing/Art!
She was a icon
She was beautiful and talented. May she be at peace.
Kelly Rowland could play her in a biopic film or Tasha Smith.
I agree
Kelly Rowland does look like Donna Summer.
Donna was an amazing, incredible woman. Love ❤ her.
SHE IS THE QUEEN OF DISCO
I agree with you 100 percent! Donna was on fire!!!! That chick was popping out hits back to back, in my opinion!
sellout concerts as well.
Donna Summer, so underrated it’s beyond belief. Her voice was and is so incredible, I still listen to her songs today in awe. MacArthur Park Suite taught me how to sing! I teach voice lessons now because of Donna’s awesome voice, phenomenal style. Rest In Peace, Angel Donna!
Donna Summer died in the same year as Whitney Houston, Don Cornelius, Chuck Brown, Dick Clark, Jenni Rivera, Michael Clarke Duncan, Sage Stallone, Chris Lighty, MCA from the Beastie Boys and many more who died in the year 2012
Hmmm
That's crazy they all been gone ten yrs. 🤦 That time flew by man! 🕊️😇💜
@@kimforester4290 yeah im thinking the same thing 🤔
Wow
Wow
This video telling the story of Donna Summer was so good!! RIP to the legendary "Queen of Disco" Donna Summer🙏🏽🕊
This was the best story you did. But Donna Summer was by no means underrated. She was an international super star with many many hits. Love to love you Donna
She was very much a global treasure and peaked during the disco era. But mainstream did not take care her seriously beyond the 70s except for She Works Hard For The Money. She has so many gems but if it was not dance oriented music....she was ignored unfairly.
@@TheRetroWoman80 Next to Bad Girls, my second most fav Donnas album is “Mistaken Identity”. I agree with you on some of later stuff was so overlooked. “When Loves Cries” should’ve had an official video. I’m sure BET, and MTV2, would’ve given it some air play and the song would’ve charted higher.
@@verbatimmags When Love Cries was a great example of her using that wonderful head voice of hers. Another unforgettable soul stirring gem is Friends Unknown. She dedicated that to her appreciators.
@@TheRetroWoman80 FACTS!!!
She was underrated as a vocalist.
Donna is the first to make a double album ..... she's also the first to make a 20 minute song later known as an extended single
The Beatles and others had already double albums in the sixties.
Earth, Wind, and Fire had two double albums: Gratitude and Faces.
I loved Donna Summer!! Part of my childhood in the late 70's-early 80's(my elementary--Jr high school years).
Yes! Mine too
Long Live The Queen! I cried like a baby when I heard she passed! I always thought Donna Summers IS Queen Disco & POP! Madonna wasn't popular amongst my moms generation, nor my aunts. I always thought of Chaka as Queen of RB/Funk, so I wouldn't know where else to categorize them, but they'll always be on my top fm their era❣
I always thought that Donna Summer was a great compromise between Diana Ross and Stephanie Mills
@@yell0wberry POTENT WORDS!!!
I hope you do more stories on Robert Guillaume, Andre Harrell, Suzzanne Douglas, Michael K. Williams, Anthony "AJ" Johnson, Pam the Funkstress of the Coup, Special One of the Conscious Daughters, Armand Jones, Bryon Fox, Amelia McQueen, Taylor Negron, Lee Reherman, Eazy-E, ODB, Heavy D, Ron O'Neal, Lisa Robin Kelly, Ron Lester, Mescach Taylor, Dixie Carter, Rosalind Cash, Dana Plato, Big Pun, Freaky Tah and Vesta Williams
I requested him to do a ODB & Reverend CL Franklin, Tammi Terrell
Also Ms Della Reese💯
& soul singer #LindaJones of "Hypnotized" fame.
Eazy E wasn’t underrated
I'll say it again , John Singleton
a lot funk artist hated disco because they felt it was a water down version of funk but disco did gave birth to house music
That is very true
Need a movie about her with Kelly Roland. This was 💥💯
Facts 💯
I love Donna Summer I remember seeing her on family matters. It makes me sad at times that some musicians don't get credit and recognition they deserve.
I love her high cheekbones I find it very hard to believe that she was she thought she was ugly that's gorgeous she was and I'm a gay man saying this 💙💜💜🙏
I saw the Donna Summer musical in Chicago a few years ago. It was a great show, a journey through her life and music.
I would have loved to see that
@@kayshawnsimmons5585 hopefully they do a revival tour ! 🤞🏾
@@misturrrtylurrr that would be awesome
Yes I remember her being on Family Matter's 💯🙏🏿
ME TOO!!!
Donna Summer's character's name on Family Matters is Aunt Oona from Altoona.
Who had the Donna Summer 12 inch vinyl "Hot Stuff/Bad Girls" RIP Donna Summer. I can't wait for them to do a bio picture of her.
my cousin did. he had all her 12' vinyls.
Me..played the hell out of it too!
I have them all!!
@@Leftatalbuquerque I DO TOO!!!
Donna Summers was a phenomenal singer and just gorgeous. I remember her playing Steve’s aunt on Family Matters and sang Last Dance. Thanks for the more in depth research on her life. Well done.❤️
One of my favorite ladies and singer. My condolences to her husband and beautiful daughters. Thank you for doing this biography CU on Ms. Summer. So young. Sleep In Paradise, Donna. Thank you for all of your contributions.
Donna Summer had some jam's out back in the 70's and 80's and I'm so glad that I had grew up listening to her music she's an ICON RIP Donna Summer
My Girl! I STILL play Donna Summer song & always will
from start to finish you did an excellent job here.
DONNA SUMMER IS THE QUEEN OF DISCO!!! HANDS DOWN!!! Great episode Bro!!! Bravo!!!
Queen Disco 🪩 Donna❤️❤️❤️❤️ she sang a lot at STUDIO 54! My favorite on the RADIO 📻 Yep Studio 54 was “WILD” Thank for enlightening us on DONNA ❤️
On the Radio was one of my favorites too.
Underrated? Huh? Bruh, Donna Summers was literally the Queen Of Disco, she was the most famous woman of the 70s so you got this wrong my brother. Chaka Khan is the Queen Of Funk and Soul not Disco
To those on the outside of disco appreciation, she was highly overlooked and underrated. Like Whitney, many thought she was pop and "not black enough."
@@TheRetroWoman80 true .
@@TheRetroWoman80 Being accepted by the masses, winning all the awards, making all the money, and not being "black enough" to mf's who aren't getting the money you getting is NOT overlooked nor underrated, that's what you call, overly HATED. That's like saying MC Hammer was underrated because a bunch of can't make it mf's saying he ain't black enough. Phuhg them and who they don't think is "black enough" they ain't spending enough money to even have an opinion because they spend their dollars on clothes and beauty products, not music so how dare any of them mf's have an opinion about Whitney not being black enough? Why should she be black enough? You ain't gonna "SPEND ENOUGH" money to send her grandbabies to college so why should she give af about what you think? Not "YOU" I'm just saying in general. Donna Summers was THE QUEEN OF DISCO, PERIOD.
@@earlcampbell7953 I absolutely concur with everything you stated, Earl. And yes, hate is a more appropriate description.
Thank you
I didn't realize how amazing she was wow great research on Donna summer fantastic 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💫
Donna also became the first female to hold down the #1 and #3 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. In 1979, Hot Stuff went to #1 and stayed there for 3 weeks while Bad Girls held the #3 position. Then a month those two songs switched places on the charts. Donna was able to do this TWICE! People fail to realize that, this woman made history as the female solo artist to do this. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
FYI: Donna and Melba Moore both auditioned for the role of Sheila for the Broadway musical Hair. The producers loved both ladies and other Melba the Broadway role. However, the producers liked Donna so much that, they offered her the same role (Sheila) in the traveling Europe version. The producers knew that the play would be a hit overseas and offered Donna Gaines the role. Yes, her father was pissed but her mother told her to go and follow her dreams. I'm glad Donna did!
Thank you for pointing out that "transvestite" rumors. That almost killed her career! What used to piss me off was when whenever I conversation about music and mentioned Donna's name, black ppl would right away say "Oh you know she used to be a man"! That was NEVER true! A trans person cannot give birth to a child and Donna Summer gave birth THREE TIMES in her life: 1973, 1981 and 1992. Her middle daughter played Vanessa on the ABC comedy, My Wife And Kids.
Some ppl still believed that horrible rumor until she died in 2012.
It amazes how ppl idolize her now especially, years after her death and with the Kelly Rowland resemblance . Lol
I think Donna Summer inspired Mariah Carey Janet Jackson and beyonce
She also inspired Madonna and Selena.
Not to mention Whitney Houston
Donna Summer inspired J Lo and Jody Watley too.
She died while I was a senior in high school. I remember one of my aides told me in special education that she was a good Christian woman. I believe that to this day. RIP 🌹
Speaking of Robert Guillaume, you gotta do a story on him
Yes
I love your research man keep it coming.

Donna Summer was an AMAZING TALENT !!! But the Jam was on the Radio one of my top favorite song's. RIP to a LEGEND🙏🏽🕊🌷🌹
Bc after hearing this I’m wanting to know if Donna was one of the women Beyoncé mentioned in that track where she named those 29 iconic women?!?! BC BAAABBYYY!
Donna was THAT GIRL WORLDWIDE 🌍!
I'm into Death metal, black metal ,grind,heavy metal, progressive rock, classic rock, BUT DONNA SUMMER IS my favorite female singer... Much respect.✌️🙏🤘
My favorite crush in the 70s and 80s.
This was an amazing documentary on her. One of the best I've seen. How in the world can you talk about the best of Disco and not mention Donna Summer.... 🤯. I remember seeing an album of hers when I was 5 and thinking, that was the most beautiful woman i ever saw. She needs the up most respect on her name. She is without a doubt an ICON!!!!!
The True Queen Of Disco is Mrs Donna Summers👑🎤🎶🔈 🔉 🔊 🎶 🕺🏿💃🏾🙏🏿
I knew of Donna obviously but damn I didn’t know she was out here dropping hits like that !! A legend
Thank for this one. I totally loved Donna Summer 👑🕊✝️
RIP Donna🌹❤️
First of all, I love Donna Summer. I think she was the whole package and that's how, in the 1970's, she reached the superstar status she richly deserved, but she was beyond Disco and willing to experiment with her music, unlike other Disco stars.
I think she was overlooked during the 1980's due to the Disco backlash and the poor management she was given by Geffen records. I still don't fully understand why, but I think her career was sabotaged. Yet she was still able to have new hits during the decade ("The Wanderer", "Love is in Control", "She Works Hard for the Money" and "This Time I Know is for Real"). Imagine all the hits she would have had if she had had the right management. For instance, Madonna was a mediocre singer, but became and remained popular because her label and her PR team did their best to promote her. In the 1970's, Donna Summer was as popular and she could have remained that way if Geffen people had been smart enough. Sadly, they weren't.
About the "Disco sucks" movement, I think it was very stupid. I'm a headbanger white man (fan of Metal and Rock), but I also like Disco, R&B, Latin music, and many other genres. I think all music is cool and you can enjoy it all if you're in the right mood. Also, the 1980-82 "Dance" songs still sounded like "Disco". They just changed the name for marketing (as you said), but the music was the same.
Hell yeah! Just in time for my turkey wings I'm taking out the air fryer! Thanks ✊🏽
She was one of great singers of our time. Her music taught me how to dance in the disco clubs.

Tammi Terrell Story Dying of music
This was a great story! I'm 53 years old so Donna Summer is my childhood. I loved Disco as a kid and used to wish I was old enough to go to the disco LOL. In 1979 I was 10 years old and Bad Girls by Donna Summer, Good Times by Chic and We are family by Sister Sledge were my favorite songs. I was 7 years old when Love to love you baby was on the radio. I was grown when I realized how sexual that song was.
I remember I had a poster of her in 1979 as a 6 year old, I bailey remember Bad Girls,but I fully remember Hot Stuff,it was on the radio constantly.Chic I want your Love,and Good Times along with Hot stuff.Rod Stewart If you want my Body dominated New York radio stations.The next year She had On the radio,and The Wanderer I fully remember those songs as well.
