Donna Summer was a national treasure. When she passed we lost someone who was beautiful inside and out. Watch some of her interviews. She lived a good life on her terms and left the world a better place just by being her.
@@aalphan that too. She spent many years in Germany and Austria and even learned the languages. She was very deep and if you want to treat yourself look up some of her interviews.
@@joelex7966 Yes I know. She was very loved in france but at the time we didn't see her much on tv, only on december 31 the time of a song as a gift to celebrate the new year, it was a great joy to be able to see her.
When I was 8-9, my dad would leave me in his basement apartment. Nothing to do but listen to the few tapes he had sitting around. Donna Summer got me through the day.
I went to the Oscars in ‘79 - everyone walks in on the red carpet. I walked in behind Ms Summer, wearing a stunning red sparkly dress - SO beautiful. All of these “tragic tale” videos focus entirely too much on the negative details. She and co-songwriter Paul Jabbara won for LAST DANCE best song that night. So great to see her perform it in person. No mention of her Oscar win.
@@throwball2248 it’s a long story. I worked on 2 movies nominated that year (SUPERMAN and DAYS OF HEAVEN) and a friend won for cinematography) l bullshitted my way into a nosebleed seat. Donna was in front as I went in, Rachel Welsh was behind me - I thought my head was going to twist off 😎
The best female vocalist ever. Just watch her numerous live performances on RU-vid and you will see she was note perfect every single time. No showy vocal gymnastics just pure control. She will forever be known as the Queen Of Disco but she was so much more.
All her music was more than awesome! Remember dancing to her many hit songs..perfect music to dance to on the disco floor, for sure...RIP DONNA SUMMER🙏✝️
@@mysticalcreature2851 I think 🤔 I was hearing all words Wrong ‼️🤷😂 cause now I don't know... If last dance,,, or left dance.. I don't think 🤔 im thinking 🤔 about that color full white man and married Iman....
Animals are cute...Donna Summer wasn't cute she was very Beautiful inside & out!!! Donna was Beautiful, Gorgeous and very Talented, we miss you Queen! But we will always cherish & Love you Ms Summer!!!
I was born in 1975 and my parents owned her live record, which I listened to over and over. I started out as a Donna Summer fan 😊 She was a beautiful woman with a great voice and amazing energy.
donna summer was a great singer and her songs will live on i am sad off her passing in 20012 may 17th off lung cancer due to the twin tower attacks off aspestos and being 63 years old leaving behind 3 daughters and there dad and husband this is just sad richard
Donna Summer was one of the finest female singers ever. Her husky, sensual, soulful singing style was a real treasure for the music industry. SALUTE TO THE UNDISPUTED QUEEN OF DISCO. 👌👌👍👍❤❤
I was born in 1976, a few months after Love To Love You Baby made it debut on the airwaves. 😜 I remember being a 4 year old and seeing Donna Summer for the first time on her ABC Special in 1980. Even back then, I thought she was beautiful. I remember growing up on "She Works Hard For The Money"and "This Time I Know It's For Real" in the 80s. When I turned 18 in 1994, there was this radio station in Chicago that would play non stop 70s music. On Saturday nights, they would play 5 hours of Disco music. This is how I fell in love with Donna's voice and understood her as an artist. I Feel Love was ahead of it's time (no doubt). I've seen Donna 4x in concert and she was awesome. I miss her so much.
She was the best! I thank god for her music we had the best times ❤️ trust me she never lost any true fans I was heartbroken to hear of her passing her music will live on forever 👏🏼👏🏼🙏❤️
She was not forced to stop performing love to love you baby she hated that song she said it was too sexual for a church girl to sing she never felt right singing it she stopped voluntarily
absolutely correct,she was embarrassed with the song because it was not who she was,still it got her noted and that was the start of an amazing career.
She actually lived the kind of life many people would like to live .traveling all over the place with all kinds of different and varied experiences .the only problem with that kind of life is you don't have a solid support system which she did not have
I'll never forget Donna summer for a few reasons? I loved her music, she was a true bostonian like me and I got to meet her parents at the premiere of her first movie " thank God it's friday" at the old pi alley theatre in Boston! Love to love you donna you were awesome! Jack flynn
Jim Feldman's Village Voice article (June 83) never said Donna "AIDS is the result of your sins", also Summer never denied making the "Adam and Steve comment" , as it was made on stage during the Atlantic City Concert. This video has many inaccuracies or false statements.
An older Donna Summer fan here (saw her in concert in St Louis in 1977 and danced to her songs on dozens of disco floors.) Yeah, this is a very odd biography - her late 60s experiences in Greenwich Village, performing in Hair, and eventually meeting Giorgio Moroder in Germany etc. are remarkable. Donna had several gigantic disco albums after Love to Love You Baby (Bad Girls anyone?) However, this vid jumps from the early 1975 Love to Love You album cover to 1980's The Wanderer, which was her attempt to move into New Wave after the demise of disco. No mention of the songs Bad Girls, Enough is Enough, MacArthur Park, Last Dance? Were you unable to get the rights to show her major album covers? Or to use any of her music? The out-of-sequence images of her at different periods of her life (younger, older, disco, new wave - these images all jump around at random) demonstrate a lack of basic storytelling skill. So she had some relationship issues - who doesn't - that's tragic? You have 1.54 million subscribers and this is the best you can do?
I feel like the age of the reviewer or producer affects the music review or critique. You realize that the early 20 somethings reviewing something to tend look at the the woke aspect or thinking the public thought one way-when in real life it was exact opposite lmao!
@@karenearle5507 I was just looking over and got her Cats Without Claws vinyl album. This lady, Patti, and the Supremes set the template for all the female pop artists of today. They didn't need back up dancers and could by themselves.I think wow! It's rare to see that these days.
Wow I didn't know a lot of things and situations that Donna went through, she was a very discrete person., After watching this video, I admirer and love her even much more.
Who'd have guessed that the same guy who wrote MacArthur Park and Up, Up, And Away wrote Wichita Lineman, Galveston, and The Highwayman. Galveston, oh Galveston. I still hear your sea waves crashing. While I watch the cannons flashing. I clean my gun, and dream of Galveston.
I’m just now hearing that she said that I will always love her she’ll always be a part of my life as far as music is concerned knowing that the gay community is the one that was her biggest supporters I can’t believe she would say something like that🥺 but all should be forgiven because she brought nothing but love into this world,,,, Love to love you baby❤️ RIP QUEEN🤬❤️
She had so many varied and different experiences in life that no other black woman let alone no other American woman ever experienced that made her into a very very unique and gifted person
Donna Summer was my first disco discovery and queen when a pre-teen. But man she had a rough life and partners. Good thing she had Sudano as husband for many years.
I see her story as one of triumph over many obstacles. I don't see her as tragic at all. She was a force, and she never gave in, and she never gave up. That, to me, is a triumphant story, not a tragic one. ✌
Donna was a great singer, in this so called short documentary, focus only in her struggles. Not on her success and the legacy she left, regarding her music and how talented she was.
Nice dramatic headline. I stopped watching after 2 minutes. Donna Summer scored 14 top 10 hits, sold millions of records, was awarded 5 Grammy awards in 4 different musical genres and gave birth to 3 beautiful daughters. Her life and career was anything but tragic.
Her duet with Barbra Streisand, "Enough Is Enough," was iconic and amazing. Angelic White Voice: Point! Powerful Black Voice: Counterpoint! Amazing duet! Rest in God's Peace, Queen of Disco!
When I was about 10 years old in the mid 70s. I first heard 4 Seasons of Love. I promised myself that when I grew up i would for sure marry Ms Summer. Didn't happen of course but I've loved her music ever since. Funny enough her 80s album with Quincy is my favourite album of hers even though I hear she hated it calling it a "Quincy Jones " album. Some great tracks on that album, Lush life, State of independence, Living in America, and many others
Yooo anybody grew up when HBO just strated everytime movie was over donna s hot stuff would played and then u would see previews of up coming movies iam 56 yrs old everytime that song comes I rember hbo but most of all my child hood thank u donna lots of love
She started not at all beautiful and with the dull boring song 'love to love you' . What she did was being able to build a very beautiful image and to improve his voice a lot and becoming a public idol. GREAT REALIZATION!!!
This is a good video that disclosed things I never heard before ..as far as donnaf Summer making a comment about AIDS did anyone ever hear it other than this one writer for a magazine?
