I could just imagine watching "The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson" and seeing Donna Summer. Both of these wonderful people are no longer with us, yet we will never forget them.
She was not JUST another ¨disco¨ queen, diva or whatever label people like to put. She was in total control of her game. She wrote, produced, performed and delivered a ¨disco¨song like NO other artist could. She used to tell us a story within each song, she would act it, and made us feel it. The Ultimate Artist! You'll be in our hearts, our souls and our feet FOREVER, DONNA!
No vocal gimmicks or face pulling, she just opened her mouth and let her voice do the rest. Sad reflection of the times today that we look at this and are in awe that she is actually singing live.
One of the reasons this sounds so good is Donna's sisters, Dara and Mary, singing backup. Check out their sweet harmony with Donna when she holds the final note, my God is that beautiful.
Donna Summer went and perform in Manila, Philippines in early 70's. She was unbelievable. I think this was when she was already famous in Europe but not yet in the US. She was so humble and genuine. She was a true icon. An original.
No one could sing better live than Donna Summer. She gave it her all & never missed a note. I can't imagine the loss to her family & friends. I saw her in concert in Atlantic City along with an art show . Donna was so lovely in person, tall & quite beautiful.
'LIVE'. Donna's career was about to enter the stratosphere! Her departure from the musical landscape all too soon was very sad. To an amazing singer / performer : Donna Summer [Dec 31, 1948 - May 17, 2012].
Perfection at its best! At least to me, haha. An angel gone so soon. Although Donna finished her race, we absolutely LOVE you and wish you were still here with us. No one will EVER be able to take your place that you rightfully earned! Rest in peace, Queen Donna.
Donna = dancing, carefree, good times, liberation, beauty, greatness, uniqueness, joy and girl power! Thats a great legacy to leave and give to the masses. Thank you Donna.
I Remember on the Early 80s Tato & Papo when Ever They Travel To NY and Come Back to PR they always Bring Music Back and I Liked her and Listen Always We Love u To Donna Summer.
Unforgettable tune of Era disco,deep meaning of lyrics and love history, it s Like magic trance Wheel you listen this wonderfull song.donna summer was mi ídol and the always be for ever. San José ca USA
Love it! Haven't heard this since I was a teenager. Thanks so much for posting. I loved her opening, spoken recitative. Donna TOTALLY set the stage for Madonna and Whitney. M for killer club music which wasn't averse to story songs. Whit as mega singer who combines Gospel and Opera. And, to this day, I'm not sure either could seriously hold the stage with Ms. Summer.
It peaked at #36 in the US, although it went Top 10 in the UK. It did have the distinction of being the only her 3rd Top 40 single in the US though, and the 1st to use her full voice instead of the falsetto she used on her early albums. This was the first song of her's that caught my ear, and it's still a favorite.
Donna was the Summer of the 70s. After those orgasmic groans on her first two hits, who - back in the day - expected her to have pipes that would equal the greats?.
She said of that situation, being perceived as a "novelty" act, turned out to be a blessing; there were no expectations. But, wham! She sure showed 'em!
These were the days....thanks for uploading this song/video. This was always my favorite Summer song and this is the best live performance of it I've seen.
That's the right description of my flightplan with my ginger angel. I love you my peppermint patty, wherever you are in the universe. This song is in your memorial.
I dont know how to thank all you guys enough for posting these oldies but goodies of Donna ...this is so charitable of you, some things are better than money . Thank you again
Thanks for posting this....this was always my favorite Donna Summer song. RUclips is something else. How else would could you see such an old clip? lol
Reminds me how as a child I was spolt for choice: Donna, Deniece, Minnie, Gladys, Phyllis, Millie to name a few did what they did which today would be a rarity- they could sing!...and some!!!
@dsfddsgh I'm so happy to see others agree with this,cuz these days you start to think that this is the way in the future for soulsingers to sing.But have a good look (listen) to the 'old' (in my ears/eyes,they are timeless),classic soul singers..Gladys,Aretha,yes Donna is up there too,and many others,they didn't need to over-do their performances with notebending and over-the-top hand moves,cuz they all knew they had one thing going for them..a true SOUL voice.. cheers dsfddsgh and discovery781
tHANKS FOR POSTING THIS GEM...nOT FOR THE FAint of heart...and there is plenty more gems out there because every new album and new single she did the talk show circuit.

When you're a true singer, it looks effortless. We will always remember Donna Summer.

DEFFINETELY. Donna Summer FOREVER.
She sang her ass off on that one.
This was my parents 1st dance at their wedding & it will be my 1st dance at mine.
I`m 51 and i remember Donna Summer from when i was a kid. 2016 i`m just now realizing how talented she was. What a waste of time between discovery.
Same here, I had my own Donna Renaissance during the month of Dec 2019.
She was so beautiful. Stunning lady with a voice that could move mountains.
Ms. Summer had one of the best voices in music history. Her power, range, and control are legendary. CRAZY!
Donna Summer is and always will be the Queen of Disco..........I LOVE YOU DONNA!

Effortless, emotional, beautiful. Thank you Donna. I miss you x
The talent just flows out of her effortlessly....Legendary....
Wow i cant stop crying! True Legend! Queen of Disco! love u! R.I.P. :(
She really knows how to capture emotion. I went to High School from 1978-1980. This is my era. Donna Summer owned it.
She was the queen. The absolute queen. I loved her so much. Her songs could really inspire. Really set a mood.
RIP Donna we will never forget you and all the wonderful music you made back in the day.

She made it look so easy and one was one of the few who sounded just as good live.
Damn she could sustain a belted note... over and over and over... one of the greatest voice, RIP, Queen Donna
My all-time favorite Donna Summer song. I just saw her at the Hollywood Bowl. I wish she would have sang this! Thanks for posting!!
ONCE UPON A TIME is such a epic recording. Such a beautiful and haunting story in music.
One of Donna's best-what a hauntingly beautiful song.
What a fantastic performance. Donna was an awesome vocalist and a performer- her stagecraft is on full display- musical theatre background!
She is so missed!
i love this album. when she says, she means it!
Perfection at its best! At least to me, haha. An angel gone so soon. Although Donna finished her race, we absolutely LOVE you and wish you were still here with us. No one will EVER be able to take your place that you rightfully earned! Rest in peace, Queen Donna.
"He said, I love you, I really do!" I love you, Donna, now and forever. Thanks for teaching me about performance and musicianship.
To this day I still love this song to death. Top 10 fav all-time on my personal list.
Donna = dancing, carefree, good times, liberation, beauty, greatness, uniqueness, joy and girl power! Thats a great legacy to leave and give to the masses. Thank you Donna.

My Queen NOW AND FOREVER! She made the Disco era so much more heavenly!
She makes singing seem so effortless. Projection of her voice is so strong without haveing to scream the song. thank you for posting.

She's the best.

Donna Summer is my number One of all Time Goddess Entertainers.
These were the days....thanks for uploading this song/video. This was always my favorite Summer song and this is the best live performance of it I've seen.
This song finally has meaning for me. Thank you Jeffrey James Parker.
I hope you both are in love forever. All my best.
"Donna Summer singing this beautiful song live...very rare!"
and not sing she in live never again, a she did it beautifully.
She sang it at a free concert on Penns Landing Philadelphia on 4th of July . I forget the year though.
That's the right description of my flightplan with my ginger angel. I love you my peppermint patty, wherever you are in the universe. This song is in your memorial.
Unreal. Soooo seemingly effortless but soooo powerful.
And the mic was ON 🔥🔥
♥ this song!!!
