I turned 18 in 1978, just celebrated my 60th birthday two days ago. I can tell you with authority that the late 70s was a great time to come of age! Nothing will ever compare to the disco era!💯😁❤❤❤
Never seen the charisma like she had with people on and off screen. When SiriusXM Studio 54 announced her passing. I was like most of the callers. Nothing but shock and tears
The Lovely DONNA SUMMER ! Us 50+ folks are so lucky that we got to hear and see the best era's in music from the 60's-90's. After that... it got weird. My number 1 pick - Peter Brown - "Dance with Me". And if we couldn't revisit this era in particular... especially the trauma that we're all having to endure in this moment in time. Man oh man... THANKS RU-vid !!!
I was all of 12 when this album came out...anyone else think that Donna was the most exquisite and beautiful woman they'd ever seen, and that her voice and music were literally divine? Fuck, this clip reminds me...
She created her style of vocalization, and words way before Bruce entered into her life. She was surely going to make hits whether he’s in or out of her life. She was just really inspired by him, that’s why she let him co-write songs with her. She let him. She’s the power house behind it all.
Omg! How I miss those Days! Of American Bandstand! I was In my teens! & Loved watching AB! Every Saturday! And listening to Donna Summer! My favorite Vocalist! I Idolized her! She was The QUEEN! HOW MISS HER & DICK CLARK. THOSE WERE THE DAYS! OF YOUTH!
The lucky Americans saw this wonderful show when it was aired. It's a shame that in the UK no channels picked it up at the time because it would have been a sure shot hit on UK TV back then. It's so fantastic to see it now though with Donna just having fun & being herself. Thanks for posting!!
We were so Free... I will always remember this moment in time with Joy and also Heartache.. Dancing is such a healing and freeing thing, you can even dance in your mind.. you enter another world.. and meet fellow hearts and minds..💙🥀
Loved Donna Summer! Had her music and this soundtrack! Saw the movie too! Great dancing ! Again ! Love seeing Terri Baginski and Stan Rodarte! Great dancers ! 😊❤️👍👍Joann Orgel also an excellent dancer 👍👍They all were ! 😊
dancing THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY LONG VERSION its the wondefull ectasy swinging, unforgettable disco classic ever of love and kisses, memories timeless. miami flo, usa
I wonder why the critics slaughtered Thank God its' Friday , the movie? I love multi character movies. I found almost everyone in the movie very funny. It was much more entertaining than a lot of big hit movies of the 1970s. Donna's vocal on Once upon a Time distracts from her brillant lyrics. And also I never got why they couldn't include the whole song here? It wasn't a very long song
The dancer at 3:01 on the video he was also a dancer on Soul Train. He was always moving his arms all round and I think he was better suited for America Bandstand. Wow,those Platform clear heels I need those heels now for my 50th Birthday this Summer.
His name is Myron Montgomery. You have a good memory. He was also in the Bandstand dance contest that summer, but he didn't win. He and his partner Sherry danced to the disco classic, "Come on Dance Dance ' by the Saturday night Band.
I like Donna Summer music beyond 1978 also (past Love To Love You Baby). In the 1990s or millennium on CD I liked Donna Summer's greatest hits CD well outdoing all this music.
Thank you l, internet! I taped this in 1996, but accidentally taped over it. This is a gem. I love Donna, and this era that I sadly missed bc I was born in 1982
@@bigolebot I missed out on that era, but I was lucky enough to see her 4 times in concert between 94-2005. I was amazed that her live singing voice was better than in the 70's.
@@DiscoMatty79, Damn... Good one, yeah her voice I feel did get better with age... That young raspy voice killed my ears sometimes back then 😂. When did you become a fan of hers and what's your favourite record of hers?
@@bigolebot in 1992, I fell in love with Disco. It was when Grunge and Gangsta Rap her transforming the 80's into the 90's. I saw a commercial for Disco Fever. Back when they used to have all those tape and cd commercials nonstop. I like current things, but I always gravitated to Disco. Thank goodness for Rave, it was the closest I could get back then. I was at a flee market when I was 12, and bought her Bad Girls album. I was instantly a fan. My favorite song by hers, as well as favorite song of all times, is I Feel Love. As far as albums, Once Upon a Time. So brilliant and underrated. Should be up there with Dark Side of the Moon. My second believe it or not is Another Place and Time. Every song on there makes me melt. In that cheesy happy 80's way.
@@DiscoMatty79, Man this is cool, talking to the younger generation of Donna Summer fans. I remember those Rave CDs lol what a throwback. Another Time and Place was her last good album in my opinion so that's not a bad choice even though fans my age group didn't like it... I personally loved it. Even though you weren't there when Donna Summer was killing I throughout from 75 - 84 I'm glad you like her work... We need newer younger fans because talking to older fans can get boring.
American Band Stand and Soul Train were awesome. Some people would switch between the 2 to watch Both. I mostly watched Soul Train, the dancing was better & more intertaining.
This was fun. I just wish they hadn't lit the dance floor so dark at this time. It made it almost impossible to make out the familiar faces, or "regulars" as they were called. 😊
5:03 mark - was that Karen Lustgarten in that white dress being dipped in the disco hustle round on the Bandstand studio? It looks like Karen. She was the famous dancing instructor lady of disco who wrote "Disco Dancing" and "Touch Dancing" in that year, and seeing that dip, I think her dance partner led her into a death drop extended, which is what Karen calls "hot flashes" - also known as trick steps, dips, drops, lifts in disco partner dance.
Too much arm swinging back then over that way. The year my older sister taught me how to drive and going to the first school dance 😊 I had a couple of Donna Summer's albums ❤
I think the Brooklyn Dreams used Donna to get on AB, that’s why she kept asking Dick to get on the show to host. But they never made it, except Sudano landed on the “Big” fish The Diva “Donna Summer “. End of story. Now he’s the one in charge of all Donna music archives that were never released.
Well, let's not forget that Bruce co-wrote a lot of Donna's hit songs. He contributed a lot to Donna's musical career. And last but not least: he was the love of her life. So let's give the man some respect, please.
Well, Bruce and Donna were married for 32 yrs and had children together. Bruce was a big part of Donna's late 70s early 80s success. I think you're just jealous
