Donna is and was not only the Disco Queen but was gifted with such power as an incredible vocalist. She truly is unmatched in how she owned the radio and dance floors during the 70s. She is sorely missed.

I do miss Donna's voice. May she RIP.

I forgot just how powerful her voice truly was!

Wonderful, talented Donna Summer with her amazing voice. The queen of disco. Left us way to soon.

Donna Summer, no question the best female artist on so many levels. Donna could sing any genre of music and has 5 Grammys from rock to disco. Actually nominated a few times as best rock vocal. Donna's catalogue is incredible, she wrote many of her songs and her song "I Feel Love" single handedly changed pop music forever. Bridging disco sensuality and the synthesizer revolution, Summer and producers/co-writers created an international smash, they helped lay a path for synth pop, New Romantics, Italo disco, Hi-NRG, electro, house, techno, and more, influencing generations of pop, rock, and dance artists along the way. Thanks for your great respect to Donna!

Donna once said... I get my voice from my mother, when she called you to come in for dinner, they could hear her three blocks away.

Her beautiful voice melts my heart. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

She was amazing. RIP legend❤❤❤

RIP Donna the Disco Queen. Now react to two great voices Donna Summer & Barbra Streisand - No More Tears Enough Is Enough

*I legit cried when she passed. A bit of my childhood died that day*

Best voice ever!

She had the best voice ever!

Very few artist could pack the dance floor like this incredible woman did. I must have been YANKED on to the floor dozens of times to her many great songs.

The absolute best version of this strange song..I love it!

In a 18-month period from Aug/1978 to Feb/1980, Donna had 8 Top-5 hits including four #1's of which Macarthur Park was her first.

Donna Summer was so beautiful… always loved her

I bow to the Queen! Thank you Miss Summer. Yes, the voice!

This song has been recorded by many people. It was written by Jimmy Webb & was first recorded by Irish actor & singer Richard Harris in 1968. Waylon Jennings did a version in 1969 & Donna Summer covered it in 1978.

Her voice was everything! The only artist to give me goosebumps!

The queen of disco and John Miles (on piano) will always live in my heart.,.

Fantastic singer, Disco Queen!

I loved Donna Summer. Fantastic voice

This is the track which recognised her as a marvellous performer after her love to love era

This woman had an incredible run in the late seventies and early eighties.

RIP Donna, I was a little girl and my mom and dad listened to music from her generation and I still adore her and all of her lovely music ✌️✌️✌️

……Donna is a Boston Girl ❤️ …….miss you girl 🙏🏻 …….. ❤️❤️❤️ Queen of the 70’s for me ❤️ The 2 best things that happened in Boston in 1979….. Donna Summers (Bad Girls) album dropped, my favorite ❤️ “Hot Stuff” & “Bad Girls” were all over the radio (2nd) Larry Bird was introduced as the newest member of the Boston Celtics 🍀🍀 “Go Celtics” 🍀 King & Queen of Boston ❤️

A great performance from a class act.

In the 70's millions of guys wanted to put a ring on her finger... Me Too.

I love this performance of mature Donna it is killer.

You picked the great rendition. She is fabulous and everything about this performance is 🔥🔥

Our Queen RIP Donna

Wow......that voice! Every time I listen.

Ahh! Sweet Donna, the queen of disco! Beautiful inside and out and just a side note....something like a nice voice. I'm totally being sarcastic, her voice is amazing and sounded amazing even up to her death. Gorgeous lady! We are truly blessed that people like her share their beautiful gifts with us!

You'll have to dive more into Donna! She was an amazing singer! Very versatile and had great hits. She still had that strong voice. You've probably heard her songs before and didn't realize it was her.... Bad Girls, Hot Stuff, She Works :Hard for the Money, Last Dance, Dim All the Lights just to name a few. Thanks for the reaction!!!

R.I.P. QUEEN❤️❤️❤️

The undisputed queen of disco. Very sadly missed. You should check out " I feel love" by her. It was way ahead of its time.

One of the best vocalist ever singing about a melting cake in the rain. I still can't under what this song is trying to say. This is a Cover, the original was not in a disco theme. In all I Love Donna and I say you need to listen to " On the Radio " or " Hot Stuff ". Huge number of disco hits.

I loved Donna Summer, she was huge during the disco era in the 70's and I loved dancing to her music. This song and "Last Dance" were my favorites.

The QUEEN Of DISCO..... What a voice, What a Performer. Few can say they are at or even near her level of talents. Thanks JM, again.

Donna Adrian Gaines, known professionally as Donna Summer, was an American singer and songwriter. She gained prominence during the disco era of the 1970s and became known as the "Queen of Disco", while her music gained a global following......"Last Dance"... "On The Radio"..."Hot Stuff".... "This Time I Know It's For Real"....."Bad Girls".... "Could It Be Magic"...."I Feel Love".... “She Works Hard For The Money".... “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough),” a duet with Barbra Streisand; and her signature song, a Must Hear.

I love the song, its so haunting, it doesn't matter who sings it. Originally done by Richard Harris in the sixties

Imagine Chaka Khan and Donna Summer on stage together... They could crack the planet in half with their voices. Glad to turn you on to them, as I know you are.

I'm not saying anything new. Many others here have shared great comments. Donna had an amazing stage presence--almost Sinatra like. Her vocals were fabulous plus she surrounded herself with great musicians and chose material brilliantly. What a beautiful soul.

Loved her, gone too soon. RIP to the Queen of Disco.

Your JBL Headphones have been patiently waiting for this artist.

Loved that you reacted to it. This was near the end of her career. Virtually no reviewer has listened to the original recording, which rules all others with her in peak voice. Give it a listen on your own.

Great introduction to the queen 👑❤👍

Great song/great performance

WELL JM... It took me seven months to get this artist added to your Playlist. Right where she belongs among the legendary names there. Number 100.... TOO COOL

100... "I'm Not Familiar With" artist added to your incredible Playlist since January 14th 2023. All added to my JMBOY TV Reactions Folder... memory sticks to share with family/friends. Thanks Jarvis... TOO COOL again.

One of her BEST songs. Listen to the Studio Version. and there is a 17 minute Suite version that is awesome.

*An iconic disco classic. The studio version from when she was younger is a much stronger vocal performance.*

thx J- ms donna is the queen ! fun video reaction - keep on playin great music

ALSO, the legendary Four Tops did an awesome rendition of this song in 1969. ❤

Disco diva but so much more. Powerful voice, held herself with grace, one the greatest singers or her era. This is a cover of a late 60's song, written by the great songwriter Jimmy Webb, which is pretty awesome in its own right. Perfect dance song with depth of emotion and brilliant vocals. Never saw this version before, bless the patron who suggested this 🙏🏾 Also great jaguar story! 😁

If able, get a hold of the 1978 studio recording of this. Her voice will make your eyes cross.

You should probably also be sure to react to the original (1968) version of this song, sung by Richard Harris, who was a highly respected and accomplished Irish Shakespearian actor, and not at all known as a singer. It's surprisingly good, and very dramatic. It peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Donna's version is great as well, topping the chart in 1978.

I cried the day she died

Donna is an awesome singer and performer. You should have been given the song Last Dance to start you out, that way this song's original performed by Richard Harris would have gotten it's own recognition.

Wow! Donna Summer, The Queen Of Disco Thanks for all your reactions. You should to hear the MacArthur Park Suite. A three "maxi mix single" (17:48 mins.) the original "One Take" studio version (1978); that it includes: MacArthur Park/One Of A Kind/Heanven Knows, in a spectacular sound combinations. That is it: "The Donna Summer's Disco Sound Explotions". I think, that you will love it so much! Blessings ❤ To everybody! William Rodríguez-Zayas, from my gorgeous and beautiful: Coamo, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 The Island Of The Lamb Of GOD

Love her , missed her music for some time when there was some sort of fallout and she didn't perform for a long time, she also did a version of enough is enough the Barbra Streisand and Donna summer song and she did it with the Australian Tina Arena which would have been an honour for Tina.

Wow,what a loss it is she passed away😢😢

This is one of those the entire valley needs to hear... CRANK IT UP!... hit the speaker switch.

Great song, great voice! Next, check out Love Hangover by Diana Ross, bass line and beat tempo is addictive, released in 76. ✌️

Great reaction ! Love Donna Summer Live! Please react to her swan song “last dance” from her 1999 VH1 TV special or for studio protection “Hot Stuff “ album track .. its a banger & Rocks! Thank you! 😊❤

I gave you two options. This and the VH1 Presents version. Both are stellar performances from this amazing artist. This shows more of the entire ensemble.... I thought this would be the one you choice.

BTW... This tasty treat is On The House, as usual.

❤❤❤

I have a guest room with Cats... A large Panther painting on leather is awesome. Come for a visit in that room anytime.

Never heard of Donna?? Good Grief!

Anutha jam!

Richard Harris made this song famous and still like his version best.

Her version is good. But I think the first one was sung by the Brit, Richard Harris. His version is very good.
