I love both versions. They are amazing! Getting tears as I'm typing. Go got to go now before I lose the cake otherwise, I will never get that loving recipe.
It's amazing that you can take a classic by British actor Richard Harris, jazz it up with a disco beat, and have "Disco Quee"n Donna Summer belt it out with so much feeling.
Richard Harris was actually Irish (from Limerick, Ireland). He spent the majority of his career living and working in the UK, but he never took British citizenship and was very vocal about his pride in being Irish. He was longtime friends with fellow actor Peter O’Toole (who was born in England to parents of Scottish and Irish descent), and the stories of their drinking, drugging, and carousing are the stuff of legends. (Harris was eventually able to stop his drug use, and significantly curbed his drinking in the last couple of decades of his life, although he did still drink the occasional Guinness.)
This version of MacArthur Park reminds me of Cathedral High in L.A., 1979. My best friend Lando Izquierdo RIP and I were in the basketball gym for a dance. We were at the top of the bleachers when this song began playing. He started singing the song almost from the top of his head as if he was Donna Summer...unbelievable! Damn! I miss him so much and the memories we had at Cathedral High. RIP Lando until we meet again!
… Donna is definitely one of the 5 best singers in the world! ... The voice 🔥 is phänomenal and unique!! …For me personally, Donna and Angelina Jordan are the best ✨💎✨ Thank you
In it's 46th year of release, I never tire of listening to this masterpiece. Donna Summer's best song as it showcases her incredible range perfectly. Deservedly a US#1 for 3 weeks in November 1978.

I love this song for many reasons: how great Donna Summer sang this one!, that it lasts 10 minutes, that the brass section in two or three parts played , i think, maybe tritone relations? (F# and C, i think) which sounds epic, and the track is dramatic, epic and danceable. Wish the pop music these days was like those days!
Maybe, possibly the finest line in the song is "And I'll ask myself why.." When it was released back in 78 some parts really stood out. That was definitely one.
Donna outdid Richard Harris 1967-68 version of this song by several miles. For sure. All the royalties should go to Donna. Such a modern masterpiece. Farewell Donna and Casablanca records for such music genius. RIP. Danceable and memorable. Thanks, Donna Summer, Bruce, and Giorgio. Vive les pop rock, ballad, and disco freaks ....
Don't forget Jimmy Webb wrote this beautiful song about a failed romance. All of the metaphors relate to something real in his life. (All the sweet green icing flowing down) and (Someone left the cake out in the rain)! Beautiful words.
It's an exact recreation of a DJ edit I heard in a club back in the late 70's. Essentially the 45 RPM single, album and Disco single were all merged together.
¡Wow, Donna Summer, "Mac Arthur Park", la versión original!

I love the "ah ha!", it's so full of feminine power. My pa brought me up knowing this song - all the versions.

Brilliant!

Greetings from England Scotland Ireland and Wales
Was this version released in the 70's or is this a new edit? Great version, regardless.
It's an exact recreation of a DJ edit I heard in a club back in the late 70's.
Essentially the 45 RPM single, album and Disco single were all merged together.
@@spetragl well yes, clearly .Beginning, Middle, End.
The lyrics have such a deep meaning that we need to meditate on. The disco music is awesome but the lyrics are even greater.
Donna summers
fabulous!!!!

Another one of those howdufuq-did-I-forget-this-existed moments. Internet says disco sucks. Disco says internet sucks.
Sweet.
Fab song weird lyrics
Original lyrics written by Jimmy Webb, performed by Gordon Lightfoot. Marvelous remake by Donna Summer!
You have never left a cake out in the rain and watched all the sweet green icing flowing down? Happens to me all the time! 😂
@@DonnyNoMarie Poor dear. Remember that Donna Summer song? “Now I need you.” Sing it to God. You will get a response! ✝️
