- Aquarius ( Let The Sunshine In ) - Donna Summer ( Hair - The Musical )
While influenced by the counterculture of the 1960s as a teen, Donna Summer became the lead singer of a psychedelic rock band named Crow and moved to New York City. Summer stayed in New York and auditioned for a role in the counterculture musical, Hair. She landed the part of Sheila, and agreed to take the role in the Munich, Germany production of the show, moving there after getting her parents' reluctant approval. Summer eventually became fluent in German, singing various songs in that language, and participated in the musicals Ich bin ich (the German version of The Me Nobody Knows), Godspell, and Show Boat. Within three years, she moved to Vienna, Austria, and joined the Vienna Volksoper. In 1968, Summer released (as Donna Gaines) on Polydor her first single, a German version of the title "Aquarius" from the musical Hair. It was in Europe where she met music producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. Summer returned to the U.S., in 1975 after the commercial success of the song "Love to Love You Baby", which was followed by a string of other hits, such as "I Feel Love", "Last Dance", "MacArthur Park", "Heaven Knows", "Hot Stuff", "Bad Girls", "Dim All the Lights", "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" (duet with Barbra Streisand), and "On the Radio". She became known as the "Queen of Disco", while her music gained a global following. From her humble beginnings in the musical Hair, to success and superstardom in the disco era and beyond, Summer is still remembered (Rest In Peace) and adored by fans worldwide.

Crazy that her first Single ever was in German. Das macht mich stolz.
She needs to have a movie done about her life, career, loves and fears.
Jimmie Jam Of The Day! I know !!’
It'd get messed up somehow
There was a musical on Broadway. It was touring before the pandemic.
@@anthonyL1995 Yes, I know. I'm talking movie. 🙂
If they do I hope they leave out all the rubbish rumours about her having homophobic opinions. I've never believed them for a second and I'm one of her gay fans.
Even at such a young age Donna had such a powerful and recognisable voice.
I'm from Massachusetts, Aerosmith, Boston, The Cars, Donna Summer. All have made this state proud but Donna is our prized possession. We love you,
So you say. She actually had a record deal, but turned it down because she had always dreamed of going to Germany. She has been successful all over the world. It was her destiny.
Annual Donna Summer party in June.
Amazing voice RIP Donna Summer 😢😢😢
What a voice
She was the bomb! Donna Summer (even though she's been recognized with 5 Grammys and posthumously for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013) was still much too underrated after her Casablanca years from 1975-79. She should've retained her extraordinary star status for as long as she lived. She had problems with Casablanca and signed with Geffen in good faith. David Geffen's company had NO idea what to do with her. Had she remained with Giorgio Moroder, her star would've continued shine for the rest of her life.
True.
Oh Donna....you encompassed so much talent. You're grip on the German language was absolutely 👌
Love it! No one else sang like Donna, her voice was perfection throughout her life! She could sing anything and make it beautiful!
Nobody EVER attempted to imitate her voice either (impressions). It's impossible. Nobody can sound like that. What an unmistakable sound
When she passed the newscaster on the local channel in Palm Springs said these words after watching a clip of Donna singing Dim All the Lights with a white orchard in her hair......"she was so lovely" no words were any truer!
What a wonderful tribute. Happy 70th birthday, Donna - RIP.
Donna made and changed the face of music, created real disco, unsurpassed, RIP Donna sending love.
Before I ever knew anything about Donna Summer when I first heard MacArthur Park 45 years ago in 1978 it seemed like some kind of German American opera singer was singing that song The Way she Sang.. this was before I ever knew she spent time in Europe.
beautiful tribute! amazing Donna!
she was a true lady and singer
Donna Summer was much more than I ever knew!! She was versatile and amazing!!
she really was
the german back up singers are awesome. this is only 23 years after ww2 ended.
Thanks for this wonderful video! Donna lives on!
Awesome, and extraordinarily ironic, performance, in the context of her life, and our times.
Love you Donna. Forever. Timeless. Xoxo
What a true gem. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video, it is a gem. Young Donna in video, historic. Why her family is not keeping her artistry live by putting out all this collection of videos and exposing her art worldwide.
Jorge Hernandez They are trying, but they really need help. They should turn her estate over to abled entertainment lawyers, but I don't think they want to give up that control. They want to protect Donna.
Well said .. people say I look like her .I'm just younger .I'm a a aspiring singer .I sing her song lyrics 🤩
Donna Summer will always be the best, from the rest ! 🤩
Sadly missed. Great voice and career. RIP I wish there was some footage of Donna in the band Crow!!
This is so cool👍😎. I just learned she was the lead singer of a psychedelic band and that she was in Hair. I love that it's in German.
She was so underrated
It's a real pleasure listening. Thank you very much for this post.
La Reina. No hay más.
Flawless!!!
Fabulous laDonna
Wow that is so unmistakably her right from the start. Most solid voice ever
Donna listened to the jefferson airplane and went to see janis joplin a true unique talent that we never saw again in our lifetimes.
thank you so much such a treat
Never saw this side of her. Thank you for posting!!!
I would love to hear her english version of this song. But it seems that it's more rare than the German version,go figure.
She appeared in the German version of Hair, not the English language one. That's why.
@@zeddeka they should have sang this in english like abba did as the american version is middle aged office music.
Beautiful voice
Great!!
Thanks! God bless! A.i
Billboard ? Lol. Peace, ya'll.
Great post, thanks!!!
3:30 the woman next to Donna is a really good singer also
Hold on to Peace
Damn!
She was my life line i was in nyc when i heard her death i sat on the curb of Manhattan and just cried as ppl just walked past me
😍
The👑Queen
She’s my new obsession
Ma quante epoche ha attraversato...comincio a credere che non era di qursto mondo.....
This was the beginning of Donna's career, but good that later was Giorgio Moroder.
EXCELENTE EEEEEEE
Wow. Thank you so much.. where can I find the video Donna singing in the crowd and the still photographs?
Her sister Linda C Gaines was right next to her all the time.
That's how she got her last name. She married this German dude named Somer

1:36 they sound like german men. the women just sound good. would like to see the actual people who sang backup on this.
She played with ex lost and remains producer in heavy psych funk band crow Boston mass
I wish there were some recordings of Crow but I can't find any. :(
Donna was funny
Hey!❤
Is the german song on iTunes?
I love this 3:15
Chevy Chase was also part of these bands
whut?
huh?
Do you know where to find the intimate portrait episode of Donna?
I do not. It was on RUclips for years but nowhere to be found anymore.
All the good documentaries made in the 1990s and early 2000s have disappeared in the age of the internet when everything made is supposed to be available.
3:30 does anyone know the name of the woman standing next to Donna she is a phenomenal singer?
0:45 0:55 1:59 joder, esto es en aleman, la musica disco fue traido por ella desde europa entonces; por intermedio de productores europeos que trabajaron con ella, caso el italo Giorgio Moroder
Electronic disco,yes.
1:23 women to the right of donna resembles janice joplin. this woman next to donna was surely another person with talent forgotten who never made it to the top.
What's the name of a song in German? Thanks ❤

"Hair" the Milos Forman film is a blueprint for my life as I was 18 in 1969 and the lead character WAS ME. i SO LOVE this movie, but I never saw the stage production which never gets a revival; too bad, at least we have the 5 star movie. If you've never seen it RENT IT TODAY! This is our cultural heritage don't let the LEFT cancel it out.
Oh Calcutta is mine.
Sounds sounds great but Donna would have never amounted to much without perfecting her skills in west germany and the talent there that influenced her.
Not true talent is talent in any country ...hands down ....Boston 👑 Queen!rest in peace beautiful!
she sounds a lot like Irene Cara but not as smokey
LIEBE DEUTSCHE POWER
