The day she died i cried all day long. Im 64. I grew up in the best era of music. I loved Donna!

THIS IS LIVE FOLKS. ONE OF THE GREATEST FEMALE SINGERS IN THE WORLD. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO GROW UP DURING HER GREAT CAREER. AND DISCO MUSIC. GREAT MUSIC. GREAT TIMES. GREAT PEOPLE. NOTHING WE HAVE TODAY. RIP BEAUTIFUL LADY.

Donna is one of the very few artists who can flawlessly sing live!

I love seeing her like this. At the top of her game. Young, happy, beautiful and talented. I love you Donna. R.I.P.

She will always be the queen of Disco....

She was my favorite in the 70s even though I am a very masculine man she was my favorite and she always will be

One woman, a microphone and a helluva lotta vocal talent. Donna was a true star. 🌠

Donna Summer made our world such a happier place…She left us too soon. 😢

This is such a great example of everything jiving; the audio, the visuals, the moment. Perfection. Plus, I love how well she sells this performance. She's so committed to it and that voice... WOWCH !!!

Good Lord, not only a thick, rich, glorious voice but the most amazing connection to the lyrics and such incredible stage presence. There was just no way this woman wouldn’t be a star. When Donna stepped on that stage, she came to play and stayed to slay. I feel blessed to have grown up with her in my lifetime. RIP, Legend.❤️

Once Upon a Time is a stunning album in every single way.

Donna summer is the most polished, Well taught professional singer I have ever heard in my life.

When she looks at the camera 🎥 it’s hypnotic. I swear she’s looking right at me. Amazing 🥲

If I remember, Johnny usually didn't have too many disco/dance type of singers on his show, at least on the nights when he was there, so he must have really admired Donna.

I was ten years old when 'Thank God It's Friday" came out, and my dad took me and my sister to see it. I thought Donna Summer was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. LOL! Still do!

Her song FORGIVE ME changed the direction of my life. I owe her big.

Donna Summer got the voice and music that can make you cry and dance at the same damn time! Last Dance always gets me. Brilliant Vocalist.

Donna Summers is the most beautiful gorgeous sensuous sexy mesmerizing woman I have ever seen the queen of disco I mean she is so damn gorgeous best voice in the business I can't believe that we lost her way too soon

What a brilliant live vocal!!!

DONNA SUMMER is outstandingly gifted with a beautiful voice. No one sings like her. Sadly, we are losing talented singer's.

She was just brilliant! Super talented and easy to talk to! She was a trailblazer and is forever an Icon

she was soooo much more then a DISCO SINGER

So beautiful and talented, let her music live forever!!!

Dang!!!! This was one beautiful woman. Her husband and family were so blessed to have her and so was all of her fans.❤❤❤ RIH

She just had it all! Beauty, voice, talent, personality, sensuality , I mean all,all...

What a gorgeous and talented lady, wow!!!

Donna Summer’s voice and tone are so pure and unmatched!

Amazing Donna!!!!! I Love You just gives me goose bumps. She just runs on stage and in seconds gives this incredible vocal without any hesitation...WOW!!!

One of the most amazing performers of her, or any generation. The absolute total package of beauty, talent, class and grace. It's really hard to compare anyone to her when you really think about it. Her looks alone are hypnotic and when you pair that with her voice and stage presence you get goose bumps. She is absolute magic. I was crazy about her in 1976 when I was 16 years old and still crazy about her to this day RIP Donna the undisputed Queen of Disco!!

She sang great I miss her,nothing like her anymore.

Of all the disco divas who have come and gone, I can honestly say that this woman was, is and always will be my very favourite.

1978. "Grease" was the biggest movie on the planet and DISCO was everywhere.

No auto-tune or lipsynching. Just talent.

I was born in 92’. I’ve been on a Donna Summer binge for weeks now. Many songs/performances I’m discovering for the first time. What charisma & powerful vocal ability she had. She’s the definition of a star 🌟

She displayed more charm, personality, and wit within an 18 minute span, than most recording artist display in their entire careers. The shame of it is that the machine/system today wouldn't be open to the idea of her being the pinnacle star as she was in the late seventies. Diana Ross and Barbara Streisand probably wouldn't admit it today, but accolades notwithstanding; Donna Summer had at least 2 or 3 years where her pole position in the ' It Girl' race was unquestionable.

I had such a crush on her when I was a kid. Beautiful lady, beautiful human being, beautiful voice. She is with Jesus now.

Not only beautiful voice but the way she talks is so down to earth great personality so beautiful women so missed

She was fabulous. One of the best ever

Donna "one take and it's done" Summer, my favourite black female singer by a golden mile. Comes across as an authentic and lovely soul too.

5 sold out shows in 1978, 8 sold out shows in 1979 at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. The day after her last show in 1979, a recording session was schedule for her to record a duet with Barbra Streisand. No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) was recorded.

The Pre-Whitney gal. She was magic

Johnny could have done the whole 90 minutes with Donna Summer alone and it would have been more than enough entertainment for the audience. R.I.P. Donna.

Can’t have enough of this video. She’s thrilled with all the success she’s achieved so far. Donna was about to release LIVE AND MORE, which showed the world that she was much more than a disco music singer.

She was the absolute Queen of the Disco Era. No one could touch her. Left us way too soon. #RIPDonnaSummer

Donna Summer always will be the magical and beautiful "Miss Universe of the Music". Nobody can do it like Donna Summer.

Donna summer was just purely gorgeous ❤

30 years old and looking so young!! Beautiful soul you had Donna!! Always remembered as the kindest soul and queen of disco

All Hail the one and only Queen of Disco!!!

Such a beautifully natural voice and talent! The world will never be like this again. A place locked in time:)🙋🏼🩷

She said it herself..... She was born to succeed. What an incredible human. Love& Respect Always. Boston, Massachusetts.

Oh God That is My Baby.... She was So Absolutely Astonishingly Beautiful and Such an Amazing Vocal Talent and a Very Unique and Pleasing Personality and Extremely Intelligent... The Total Triple Threat.. I Love and Miss You So Donna.. Rest in Power My Most Beautiful Angel Princess 💝💝💝💝

No autotune. Just live greatness!!

She was magnificent, what a singer ....

Donna's brilliant performance of "Last Dance" was pivotal to it winning the Oscar for Best Original Song.

She is so underrated as a talent in the black or music community. They always cite Aretha who was a phenomenal talent, but DS had a truly unique sound and voice. I spent my late teen years dancing in the disco clubs to her music and I'll never forget that era. It was great!!!! In the latest documentary about DS, produced and directed by her daughter, there's a clip of her singing "She Works Hard For The Money" while she's in her backyard and it sounds just like the recording. Died too young. I had a chance to see her live in an amphitheater in Concord California in the '80's. I miss you DS!!!

She really is a spirit. ❤❤❤❤ her voice. Heaven ❤❤❤ ed

This was the best live performance of hers that I've ever seen; I guess she knew the importance of getting it perfect on the tonight show, because she'd be seen by millions who would never forget this performance, and it would go down as the definitive quality of her singing. Many can't match their studio perfect sound; here, she proves she can do it, absolutely perfect, LIVE.

All I can remember is that beautiful voice and beautiful face coming up as a kid I was in love ❤️❤️, I'm for real. Rest in peace baby 💞 I really do love you when she passed I cried for weeks😢.😢😢😢

Remember hearing “Love to Love You Baby” on A.M. Radio when I was in grade school, I was completely mesmerized….You we’re wonderful and will always Live on in People’s Hearts 💕

Beautiful, talented, and no lip syncing. I always see you swinging on the crescent moon. Love and respect. RIP

As a South America kid my dream was to move to Hollyd and meet my idol. Glad to say my dream came true and Donna was all you could expected, humble, gracious and beautiful 💚🙏🏻🧘🏽‍♂

Talent. Confidence . Beauty. Grace. Always and forever ❤

Admiré toda mi vida, como Donna podía cantar en vivo de forma tan maravillosa y natural. Vuela alto, reyna del disco y hermosa Donna. Marcaste toda mi adolescencia.

What a voice!! Live vocals that are flawless!!

Donna Summer. Power, Stunningly good looking, amazing voice and i love the way she interprets the music and dances. She was a legend. She can sing live with such ease. No one compares to her... RIP xxx

Did this woman ever sing one note out of key? …I seriously doubt it. Amazingly gifted and what a beautiful stage presence. A real star! Adore her.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

best female voice

My God...She was incredible!!! 😍 Missing you, Donna. No Summer will ever be the same without you 💝

Loved this in 1978 as a 13 year old girl. Had a crush on my classmate Robert. He and Donna are both gone now,sadly. Life is fleeting. Enjoy it. ♥ 🎶

When i was growing up, Donna Summer was my favorite singer.

Donna Summer: always flawless and live even better than on records.

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!! R.I.P. DONNA!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what performing live is all about. Flawless delivery of a demanding vocal song. Pay attention Ariana. You don’t have to be a great dancer to be a superb singer. All that’s needed is talent and Donna Summer had it.

I miss this beautiful lady so much. She was phenomenal! She had the vocal range to sing both opera and Gospel, two totally distinct voices. Amazingly talented and charismatic.

TV would never let songs go on this long now! These were the best songs! RIP Donna Summer

The auto play put this on after I watched "The Donna Summer Special," (I was wondering why the theme song to the "Tonight" Show was playing on my computer). This is a wonderful snapshot of history as Donna was hitting the big time (in the USA). She's about to do the Universal Amphitheater concert, she tells Johhny, which will be recorded and released as the double album "Live and More," being her first number one album (along with a number one single "MacArthur Park"), not to mention being the first of 3 double length albums to hit the number one spot, consecutively, becoming the first recording artist to achieve that. Her voice is incredible: soft and child-like whispers one moment to full throated power belting the next! I never get tired of hearing it. But it just isn't that she has such a wonderful vocal gift, she's also a great storyteller acting out the songs, so they become much more than just some nice sounding ditties: her delivery makes you feel the song on a visceral level. I grew up on singers like Summer (Streisand, Mills, Carpenter, Ross, Khan, Labelle, Parton, etc.), which is why I can't get into newer artists (the most recent I had any interest in was Winehouse and that's not that recent - Beyonce has a lovely voice but she doesn't do it for me and neither does Swift). Thanks for the OP for putting this up. I never saw this before.

Might have been the strongest applause ever on the Tonight Show.

She’s Gorgeous ! And a phenomenal Voice ! And great performance and Acting skills ! She’s a true Music Legend and Diva !

Fascinating period. She was just about to record "Live and More" . Thank you so much for posting. What a Star with stage presence, personality ,beauty and of course the BEST voice ever!

Donna Summer was a transformational singer who broke ground for women in modern music! Does anyone else hear a little of Whitney Houston in Donna's singing ? I bet Donna was a big influence on many great singers. Very confident, capable, and what an entertainer !

We miss you Donna Summers ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Donna had an incredible voice. She is missed.

She made singing look effortless. Beautiful Donna Summer

WOW! I miss her so much. So extremely talented. A Natural 🎉

The most beautiful woman I've ever seen

That Boston accent really coming through. I always liked this lady -- lots of talent behind that glitz and she always seemed like a kind person.

“New movie Thank God its Friday”… for which Last Dance won an Oscar. Only Donna could make that song what it was and still is today❤️

Donna Summer had it all and more. Love her and always will.

I just love her.

I never saw this clip and I must say I was moved to tears seeing such a vibrant young talent.Donna will forever be loved and missed as an original artist and impossible to replicate. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Best live performer of disco.

Not one in a million nor in a billion, just a unique person who made and still make the world a better place with her wonderful voice. Will be admired 2123

Not many or NEARLY enough songs in HISTORY are like this one in general! It starts out somber, then switches gears! Impressive AND intrinsically AWESOME for THAT!

On this show already a Diva!

I am struck watching my icon that she did that song, alone, with no backup dancers or visible backup singers. She totally carried it like only she could. Today that would be unheard of -- the stage would be loaded with distractions that would make you think the singer was singing, but she/he may not be. She is just the best -- I just hope she realized it. With love Donna. R.I.P. xo.

I’ve been looking for this with a great quality finally. Last Dance she sounds amazing but my personal favorite is I Love You

love her miss her gone way to soon RIP sweet lady

We have lost another legend ! god bless you Donna xx

great quality!
