ABSOLUTELY love your Black Starlet Vintage Playlist!!
Donna Summer was married to Bruce Sudano in 1980 . He was a member of a group called Brooklyn Dreams , Donna Summer did duet with Joe Bean Esposito of the group the song was called Heaven knows it came out 1979.
SZA can't sing live, Donna could , so 😂
her features are popular surgical trends nowadays …
Exactly propel pay to look like this now
@@KarineAlourde exactly ! Thank you for recommending Lorry Hill, because most of the procedures she takes about are features that many Black people naturally have (hips, cheekbones, lips, eye shape, chin, etc).
They certainly are!
Lol she had plastic surgery before she became famous but yes she was gorgeous nonetheless 💕
@Gaelle Future Nurse because I saw photos of her before surgery and the changes are obvious.
The music industry was threatened by Donna. She was outselling white rockers and dominating the pop charts. I think she had the best voice in music. She was the first true female superstar that had mass appeal. She was a beautiful woman and of course, that meant she had to be taken down by the people that hated seeing her succeed. Stupid rumors like this plagued her. Also, she started singing Love to Love You, Baby back in concerts starting in around 1999.
I totally agree with you. I think that Diana Ross was a major super star of that era but her rise to fame was gradual while DS was a meteoric rise and I do believe that white rockers resented her powerhouse fame, voice and talent. I remember in school how the white rocker kids who had a very narrow and compartmentalized view of music would try to stigmatize the power of her music and disco in general.
Those vultures were trying to find a White Female to replace her with...but Donna had those hits and then you had Grace Jones who popped up when Donna went totally mainstream...even Madonna's early music was cultivated by the dance club in NYC...the extended dance mix...Donna Summer was the best to ever do it!
No wonder these jealous white rockers and their fans organized the infamous Disco Demolition Night...a dark day for the US music industry
She defintely brought the soul, the sass, the rock to the party. Songs were off the charts.
Many black artists were outselling them because their music was shit 🤣🤣
Her vocal range was CRAZY!!!!!!
🤔 Yes,it was. She is so underappreciated. ☆ Like Dick Clark always said. 🎙 She was my "Diva" D.S.(1948-2012) growing up.
☆ Class of '83!
It was, I loved her long notes!
She looked incredibly beautiful and feminine to me. She had chiseled cheekbones and full luscious lips like a 90’s supermodel. And that VOICE!!! Haters gonna hate!
I grew up in the 70s and loved her. Not once did I ever think she looked like a man AT ALL!! Always feminine and sexy.
I agree with you.
They come up.with so much of these far fetched stupid rumours of people,they done the same thing with Ciara saying she was a man which she is definitely far far from being one.People who do this are basically insecure,bored and extremely jealous so what do they do to keep themselves validated and important,"the old she looks like a man"accusation.I tell these haters need to grow up and get a friggin life.
@@umarbentley4953 You are exactly correct. They are just haters who have jealousy and malice in their minds. All they think of is discriminating or insulting the other persons.
There's always going to be some nut with "Rumors". I never once ever thought she was a man, either. If anything she was a woman who knew more than the average woman. She was streetwise, and that's what I liked about her best.
@@umarbentley4953 omg as a child I remember folks saying Ciara was a man. I don’t know why, she looks like a woman lol😅
Donna never looked like a man. She was beautiful, slender, and petite. Donna was a beauty and she could have easily been a model, but instead she decided on a music career and i am glad she did. Who ever started that rumor was malicious and jealous about everything that Donna represented her voice and looks, her slender build and petite frame, and her georgous face.
Yes, you are right. I agree.
She did work as a model in Germany I believe. I agree, she was absolutely beautiful 🤩 Inside out ☺️
She was a model she did some modeling in Germany
Right! Jealousy is so uncalled for. People can’t handle beautiful black women.
You ever look at her shoulders?
I feel that people automatically think strong, masculine etc Whenever they hear the word dark skin. That's so damaging, and offensive because it doesn't make room for Black Woman at all, in where they can be seen be as they are which could be dainty, sensual, bubbly, sexy etc
Mrs Summer was in her own element. That voices, her sensual allure, her doe eyes , full lips and that smile!
Have a good day to anyone who reads this.
So true
Xauce Amani That was the point. She was so gorgeous and talented, jealous people started those nasty rumors to attack her.
@@candyart5067 You are right, I completely agree with you.
Yes, I agree.
Did they say the same thing about Cher? Cher looked like a man!
I am Mexican and since I heard the Donna's 70's hits I started to love her... She is so beautiful, My God!!!... Those eres, face, skin, voice, figure!!!! Just perfect. Love you forever, now in 2023 I still hear your music all the time. Love you Donna. ♥️♥️♥️
She is so ICONIC
The queen! I literally wish I lived in that era to go see her live 😍
@@KarineAlourde sis I'm new to your channel and I love it. I love learning about the beautiful black queens
I fell in love with her and her voice the first time I heard her. My friends and family all knew that she was my number one. I wasn't very happy in my teen years so I made her my safe place. I'd sit in my room with my headphones on and escape to DONNALAND . Thank you for rescuing me from darkness and depression. Also, thanks for signing my copy of your book. Mac Arthur Park is my favorite, but I ❤️ Love To Love them all.
This is a beautiful story! Her voice is definitely a healer.
She's a goddess. I've loved her since I was a kid even though I didn't live through the disco age.
She was my Cousin.......I never had the opportunity to meet her in person my Grandmother Did we had a lot of musical artists in the family my Grandmother was great friends with Ella Fitzgerald, , Mary McLeod Bethune and my Grandfather's half Sister was Leontyne Price my uncle went to alot of her concerts, how lucky were they to be connected to these great Goddesses.but my Favorite would be my Grandmother she gave up her jazz career to be a preacher's wife...she sang beautiful music and taught her children how to sing and play the piano for the church .....my favorite Donna Summer's Albums are ALL OF THEM......😅.....👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💜💜💜💜💯thankyou for this info I never knew ..... you know more than I did about this Fabulous Woman.....much Respect and love....peace💯✌🏾
I agree w you Karine, her features are everything. its slightly pulled back and gives it fierce look.
Yes, absolutely beautiful 😍
Lil mama the rapper.. She has Sharp features.. and she's cute
Her features are actually quite soft
@@chrystianaw8256 very soft.
As a kid I was in love with “Last Dance”. I used to cry and spin to that song 😭❤️
I’ve only shed tears 😭 for 2 celebrities-When John Lennon was shot and when Donna Summer died. I was listening to talk radio 📻 in Los Angeles when suddenly last dance was being played. Hmmm 🤔, why is Donna Summer being played here I asked. Then the disc jockey said-Donna Summer has played her last dance. I still went to work but I was totally numb. I went to a corner and cried 😢. RIP Donna you’re so missed
I have to say Thank You Ms. Karine Alourde!!! Your videos are so amazing. From the research you do to provide facts. Your delivery is modest and thoughtful. I am a huge fan of Old Hollywood. The movies the fashion the style the glitz and glam. And I am a sucker for scandal . Your channel gives that and much more. Bravo👏🏽Bravo👏🏽Bravo!!! Now I am just for the first time watching this Donna Summer video 😮Shocking it should be since I have watched so many of your videos. Some even two, three if not more times. I literally binge on your videos on my day off🤗 I just finished watching this video. As usual amazing job👍🏽. It would be wonderful if you did a update video on Donna Summer. You bring those unknown or forgotten stars to life again. It opens the door to new generation of fans. Donna Summer deserves that. I watched the Donna Summer Documentary Love to Love You last night on HBO. OMGoodnessss !!! What a huge factor in the music industry. This doc was done by her daughter. It reminded some of this ICONIC WOMAN. To the rest it gave a face to music and fashion of today. I could go on and on🤣Instead Thank You and Please Please if you haven't already. Watch the Love to Love You Donna Summer Doc on HBO. Now Im going to watch a few of your videos til I have to get ready to handle business. All the Best and God Bless.💛💛💛
Donna IS incredible!!! My mother learned English listening to good music on the radio, the 70s and 80s music was her ishhh. She loved Donna, now that mother has gone home I’m now obsessed with Donna. Around the 12 minute mark of love to love you baby when music evolves (gonna love my baby love tonight) draws tears everytime. Those who don’t listen to the extended versions of her songs are really missing out. I remember they used to say that Ciara and Cassie were men 🙄 fuggem. Disco was before my time, I would love a resurgence
First female singer I ever loved. Beautiful WOMAN with an amazing voice.
Donna’s voice, style, and physique were amazing!! Also gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️
Your commentary was excellent!!! I was there! I was born in 1960! So when LTLYB Came out in 1975-1979 I went from 15yrs old to 19yrs old. In High School I was class of 1978. And as Latinos and Disco WAS ON THE POP CHARTS!! Like RAP-HIP/HOP IS NOW! That's all you heard on the radio. And that's ALL WE HAD WAS A RADIO!!! AND VINYL, CASSETTE & 8TRACK TAPES! Donna Summer was our "BEYONCE"! She was my first concert at 16yrs old. And every time she had a tour she would to Miami my town. I would see her comes twice! She is my favorite SINGER STILL OF ALL TIME. from 1976-2009 I saw her in concert over 50X. Her voice is operatically trained in Vienna. She has the Guinness book of world record longest note held on a top ten peak at #2 song: for 17Seconds for " DIM ALL THE LIGHTS! She loud and effortlessly with ease & a breathing control uncanny unnoticeable, what a pair of lungs. When singing MacArthur Park(My favorite) And the duet with Barbra Streisand was a vocal powerhouse of Female Capacity never heard before or anything like it afterwards! Called NO MORE TEARS/ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. l have everything she has ever recorded all 19albums & special Dance Remix & Ballads & Ballad movie themes & she wrote original gospel Songs on compilation albumsl of course I have to have them! She made my teenage 20s & 30s & 40s VERY HAPPY! Her last mini performance was in 2010 with DAVID FOSTER. & FRIENDS "THE HIT MAN" a DVD& CD. IT IS EXCELLENT! One last thing that bugs me. There has always been Dance Music since the beginning of time! And every decade. But it was called a different name. And didn't dominate the pop charts like the 70s&80s & middle America resented it! I LOVE YOU DONNA FOREVER! PROBABLY SINGING TO THE LORD NOW! Sincerely yours, AL Garcia from Miami.btw you're style of commentary is very pleasant to the listener! Thought about having your own show or Journalism!
And a YES for an Arsenio Hall breakdown 🤞🏼
I will definitely be here for it👀🍿☕
Yes
He is a Moran
I'm a huge Donna Summer fan. Thanks for doing this. My favorite song is 'I Feel Love', I played that record constantly all the time. When I was in high school, other students would tell me that she was a man, and of course, I dismissed those rumors. When she passed away, I cried. I literally felt like I had lost a family member. May she forever S.I.P 🙏🏽❤ 🕊
McAuthur Park is my favorite by Donna Summer. RIP Disco Queen.💐
That was quick ! 👏🏽 Donna is about to be my inspiration for my 25th birthday look next week. I'm obsessed with her....what a 70s babe!!!!!
Her hair and makeup was ahead of its time
Go for it! ☺️☺️
@@KarineAlourde, Yes, it sure was.
Donna Summers was always an attractive beautiful and charismatic woman. It's hard to know that she went through all that she went through. She was an iconic sex symbol back in the day. Everyone loved Donna Summers back in the day.
I love Donna Summer , absolutely disgusting that they made such comments and rumours about her.
My favourite song by her is I feel love.
She was such a beautiful lady and a beautiful soul 💗
Donna Summer was a great singer and a great entertainer! She had a broad ranging audience. She had a huge white and latino following! She was beloved by most everyone.
She was so beautiful and so iconic. May she rest in peace. 🙏💕
Thank you for yet another amazing video, I am a disco baby and Donna is my Queen ❤❤❤
Donna was gorgeous all her life 😍😍
Love to love you baby will always be my favorite song from her. The WHOLE 18 mins of it.
Donna Summer was an artist of several firsts.
⭐ 1st artist to have 3 #1 consecutive Double Albums.
⭐1st female artist to have 3 #1 songs in a 12 month period.
⭐1st female and 1st Black female to win the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a female. (Hot Stuff)
Just to name a few.
I've been a fan since 1976. I have her entire catalog including some hard to find singles. I miss her so much.
She's from Boston ma I was so happy to hear that. I love Donna and she was a Beautiful Woman and the Queen of Disco. I remember dancing too her music at the clubs. Great song s. ❤️👸🏽
I adored her. We were born weeks apart. I felt a kinship with her. My favorite song was Cant Get To Sleep At Night. It was so sad when she passed away.
My favorite Donna Summer songs are: "Last Dance" and "This Time I Know It's Real"
A beautiful soul and talent we've lost.
My fave was Working the Midnight Shift not sure if it was a medley of an album side, but she sung it with emotion. 💐💐💐💐🤗
Heaven knows is an underrated song by her. Her voice is up there with the best! Being a Boston dude, you gotta represent Donna. Much love
"The Very Best of Donna Summer" has been out of print for nearly five years! I've been trying to replace the copy I lost in the 2005 levee breaches.
"I Feel Love," "Last Dance," "Love To Love You," "On The Radio" and many others are favorites from my 1970s girlhood. I never knew there were rumors about Ms. Summer being a man! 🤯I've always found her a down-to-earth Disco Queen with phenomenal, feminine style. 🤩I've played a few Donna Summer tracks in the past two days, while dancing around my house, remembering those days when people actually danced. And were in shape. And dressed to impress on a daily/weekly basis...
Thanks so much for this closer look at one of my favorite music icons, Karine. "Ordinary Girl" is still on my reading list.
Thank you for doing Miss Donna Summer!! I always felt like she doesn’t get the recognition she deserves ❤️❤️
Also, I would like to see a Arsenio Hall video!
She’s simply the best!!!
Her voice is amazing, I'm obsessed with her daughter as well! SO talented!!
You should hear Mimi sing! She sounds like her Mother. In A Hot Summer Night with Donna Summer (1983HBO) DVD CONCERT, you get a pretty early view of Mimi's abilities, but just as well all three of her daughters sing,and have been tremendously blessed to this day in the Entertainment industry.
My tied favorites songs by her are Love to Love You Baby and Bad Girl! Thank you for doing this tribute on this talented and beautiful singer!
Donna was my idol! I would sit and draw her! She was stunning. She died way too soon. Love u Donna❤
MacArthur Park is my favorite
Bad girls is def one of my favs 💜✨ The queen of disco, she was so beautiful i can’t believe people really made up that rumor.
That was a great song.
Great album too!
Yes, that's right.
On the radio is my favorite
Hey Karine, if you are familiar with the show "My Wife & Kids," Donna's daughter, Brooklyn Sudano (as Vanessa, Junior's girlfriend and baby's mom) was on that show! When you mentioned Bruce Sudano's name, I was like hmm, that sounds familiar and yeah, that's who she is! Just a fun fact!
@@MzYumYum yep 😊😉
Her other daughter Amanda Sudano Ramirez is also a huge rising star in her own right now with the traveling singing duo of her (Amanda and her husband) of the group JOHNNYSWIM. And yes new music is out.
My favorite Donna Summer"s song is "There is always be you", a ballad. I'm gay and never believed about those lies.
That song is so beautiful!!
I don't believe that Donna was capable of saying horrible things like that!
Donna summers , Lola falana , and Pam Grier literally inspire my style
I’ve always been a Donna fan. I Feel Love and On The Radio will always be my favorites. ❤️
ON THE RADIO🎙🎶📻
Loved that song. Loved all her Music. She sang up until her passing, she didn't make her Illness known.
Thank you for saying 63 is not old. I am 62. That statement meant a lot. I was touched so, to hear that she had passed.
DONNA SUMMER was a Great Artist. She will always be remembered, and I will continue listening to her music.
R.I.P 👑
She was still Beautiful
grew up listening to her music. Beautiful and talented soul.
'Last Dance' is my fave! Still have that LP!
On the radio is my fave love her so much
I appreciate this video. Donna was so popular when I was a teen, I had some of her music. But, now I have a cd of her greatest hits. I would love to get her memoir. I always thought she was really lovely with one of the most amazing voices. If she were still alive, she'd be the same age as my Mom.
I LOVE Donna Summers! And she is also a Capricorn like me….so I like her even more. Thank you for making this video!❤️
Donna Summer is really my favorite female singer ever she was a goddess with beautiful voice and was very underrated her Minnie Riperton.
People used to say I looked like her. RIP love
Wow, you do.
Dim All the Lights is fire. A banger that still grooves.
"McArthur Park" is my favorite song. She was an amazing singer!
UNFORTUNATELY EVEN BEFORE SOCIAL MEDIA, PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CRUEL WITH RUMORS. ANYWAY, MY MOM HAD EVERY ALBUM SHE EVER RECORDED.👍🤩❤️❤️
Kelly Rowland reminds me so much of Donna Summers and young Gladys Knight!!
Last dance is my ultimate favorite! Its so catchy
Last dance for romance tonight! I was in love with the Selena version of the song and then I heard her original song and I loved it 😍 she is a real songstress
Thank you Karine 😘❤️
Donna Summer was beautiful.
You can’t just pick one ☝️ …
Autumn Changes 🍂
Working the Midnite Shift 🕰
Fairytale High🧚🏾♀️
Bad Girls🚨
You to Me 💕
My dad adored this woman so I grew up hearing her music. I can’t believe the industry treated her like that.
KARINE BEAUTIFUL DOCUMENTARY..I DID HAVE A BIO BOOK ON HER... YOU WERE ON POINT👍
God, Karine, I love to educate myself on your channel about all these amazing women!😍 Since I found out about Sande, I listen to her songs, especially ‘smooth operator’ and ‘sweetest tabu’ on early mornings (if they’re rainy early mornings even better🔥). I’m definetly going to lusten to Donna songs✨
Oooo I’m so excited for this. Listen you are in for a treat with Donna! You are welcome in advance sis! She’s definitely the type you listen to with a glass of wine 🍷 I’m so excited for you 🥰❤️✨
Yup, I stone Relax with Sade all day with Red Wine usually, candles, aromatherapy, rainy evenings, nights. The best Meditation ever after a heartbreaking. Especially with Lovers Rock album.
Donna is one of my favorite
female singers besides
Stevie Nicks, Ann Wilson
and Patsy Cline!
My faves are.......
Dim All The Lights and
Bad Girls 💖🎧🎤💖
I love her songs last dance 💃🏿 and bad girl. Donna was very beautiful and reminds me so much of Kelly Rowland, Kelly would be great playing her in a Donna Summer biopic movie.
Donna’s features were beautiful. These people were just haters.
Donna Summer was the best. She had such a wide vocal range. My favorite Donna songs are Spring Affair, I Feel Love, Mac Arthur Park, Last Dance, Bad Girls, Hot Stuff, Dinner With Gershwin
i'm literally obsessed with donna summer thx for the video!!
I've never seen your channel until today and this has nothing at all to do with Donna Summer, which was afreakinmazing, but I just had to say you have one of the most beautiful smiles EVER! 😁
Such a beautiful interpretation of her life thank you
Donna Summer was everything Diana Ross wanted to be.
You said it all.
Could it be magic cover 🪭 i love her!!!
Donna summer is gorgeous 💕
Last dance was my favorite
I remember being a young teenager & hearing schoolmates repeating the rumour that Ms. Donna was a man. I never knew where they were getting that nutcase idea from...
We still ❤️ U Donna Summer 🙏🏼 You will always be a Diva😀🎶🎼🎵🎤
I love to see old times sex symbols♥️✨ Idk, they had something different that nowadays sex symbols. They had a different aura of sexy, idk. Idk exactly what makes us admire them but blaming a lot of nowadys sex-symbols cause basiaclly they do the same things, they present themselves simillar. I guess the aura does the difference.
Today's symbols are too excessive with it. They just try too hard, it doesn't seem natural or sensual.
@@w.d.2154 Yes, I think that’s it
Donna Summer she was amazing she rocked she ruled
Dawn can play her too she look so much like her when Donna was wearing the braids
Yes!!! Dawnn Lewis
As a teenager in the 70s, I listened to Donna Summers, I saw most of her tv appearances, and most of the magazine covers she was on, I combed through every inch of every photo of her. She was far from a man. The same industry that builds up the black stars tears down its black stars! And Arsenio was pathetic for revisting a sick rumor. R.I.P. beautiful lady.
My favorite song of Donna Summers was, she works hard for the money. 💎💎💎🌻🌻🌻 It just was sad how others treated her. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💙💙💙
Excellent video. Can you do Linda Lewis? She only had a few hits, but her voice is like no other! She started out as back up singer, for Bowie, Rod Stewart and Elton John! She kind of reminds me of Minnie Riperton.
Yes, I HATED that rumor! 22 years ago i got into a heated argument with another guy who made that comment. I was talking about how much I loved Donna's performance on the Vh1 Divas 2000. Then, he said that stupid comment and I leaped up and got in his face. It took three people to separate us. I hate when ppl would say that about Donna. Shes a beautiful woman. Furthermore, when I prove to him that she had three daughters, he shut up and never said it again.
She was so gorgeous! How could anyone say such terrible things about her. I never knew she went through all that. Also all the abusive relationships-ouch. Poor thing, she just wanted to be loved and do what she loved.
Donna Summers was the epitome of a perfectly imperfect beautiful woman! She exuded female femininity through and through! Perfect angular universally renowned editorial bone structure and beauty. If Kelly Rowland doesn't portray her in a biobic that would be foolish! As far as one of my favorite songs by her "last chance last dance For Love" is one of my top songs by Donna Summers, and definitely " hot stuff" as well. Listen timeless innovators rarely get their full bouquet when they are in the physical form. She's receiving them right now don't think her spirit doesn't float around. She's that chick: beautiful, epitome goddess everything💖❤️💖
Donna Summer, Winter Melody, Spring Affair, Could It Be Magic, I Love You , Last Dance, Bad Girls and Walk Away , just to name a few!!!
Thank you for doing my idol. I wanted to be here for Halloween this year, but decided against it. I couldn’t find an outfit worthy. I can’t wait for Aersenio Hall, don’t all what we want because everything you put out is great.
The likeness between her and Kelly Roland is uncanny. They’re both beautiful
Wow! Thank you! I loved Donna Summer! She was amazing, I love all her songs! My favorite album was with all the seasons within the year. Give it a listen to, but I also loved “MacArthur’s Park”.
Love Donna Summer. My favorite songs were I Feel Love , Heaven Knows, and Last Dance .🎧 📻 and Mc Arthur Park.
MacArthur Park is just one of my favorites, but it's so hard to choose. She is amazing!
My favorite Donna Summers songs are “Last Dance” and “MacArthur Park,” but if anyone doubts the Queen of Disco, wasn’t a great song stylist, listen to her version of the classic Duke Ellington-Billy Strayhorn jazz standard “Lush Life.” It will amaze you. This lady could Sang!
Been waiting on this one 🙏🏾
Donna Summer was definitely one of the GREATEST Ever!!! I too was in Volgolwey!!!
I love Donna Summer. She had so many great hits. My favorites:. Heaven Knows and Macarthur's Park.
