You know what, Kelly Rowland or Tasha Smith could play her in a biopic of they make one of her. She deserves to be highlighted for her contributions to music💛🌻
Man that Bad Girls album!!! As a kid I use to stare at her albums, her image was so iconic. A shame the whole Disco backlash because her songs are timeless and groundbreaking and still being played and sampled today. Some people thought she was a sexy joke in the beginning then she proved she was a real artist and writer with a voice that could sing any type of music. Thanks for this profile of a pioneer who deserved more.
The day she died I got a text from a relative who knew I loved her. This was right after I had ended a happy Donna Summer listening marathon trance at home. She will never be forgotten 💚
I still remember listening to MacArthur Park on repeat over and over again the night before, the next morning I got online to check my mail and saw the post on Yahoo, such a bad day 😔
Omg! You actually did a video on her! Donna Summer was such an underrated vocalist and trailblazer. She alongside Giorgio Moroder started the Euro Disco and EDM movement. Such a versatile artist gone so soon. I keep forgetting her and Whitney passed in the same year 😢. A beauty. Donna Summer forever ❤️.
Nicole Sherman Late Ms. Donna Summer was not a such an underrated vocalist after all. She was very popular that time and was named as the Queen of Disco. She had many US and UK Top chart hits in the late 70's and early 80's. Also she had many platinum and gold certified albums including her most successful double album "Bad Girls" in 1979 which sold multi platinum in many countries. Its only after about 1984 that her commercial success started to go down, and that was very sad to see. Afterwards also she had comeback albums, because she did not give up and kept on recording. She was a true diva with that great voice and she was an unforgettable legend.
@@janath9118 I am actually discovering the talent that she displayed In the 1970s and 1980s. She was well groomed and made an impact on the disco scene. Her contribution was very real and now in the 2020s I appreciate her achievements. Maybe I can give her an orgasm after Death.
@@jamesbedukodjograham5508 Her early hits such as "Love to love you baby" with its heavy breathing sounds was done partly due to the persuation of her producers and not her own liking. If you are now discovering her songs, please listen to all of her albums from about 1975 to about 1991, and her comeback album of 2008. Then you will realise her true talents and that great voice equally in her fast, dance songs and her ballads. A true diva.
I NEED Kelly Rowland to play her in the movie of her life. I need it. Just gorgeous. I’m speaking it into existence for her! Donna is such an icon and legend.
@@rvegas81Yo she was first to really bring in raw sex into music with Love to Love U in '75. Don't realize how crazy that shit was back then - cause everybody does it now!! Remember how mad brothers was though when found out she'd married a white dude back in the day!
@@woodrowpreacely7521 You maybe right about that particular song "Love to love you, baby" in 1975 with its heavy breathing sounds indicating orgasm. But i think it's done because her recording company producers had persuaded her so. This was evident in one or two of her songs only. But after that she never did it. What about that brilliant super hit song "I Feel Love" of 1977 with that futuristic music, all those excellent songs of her multi platinum selling album "Bad Girls" of 1979 and her wonderful other songs which followed? She was one of the most talented female artists ever with that beautiful voice.
Thank you for providing such beautiful pictures of Donna's all too short life. I can't take my eyes off her or imagine a day withiut hearing her perfect voice. God bless.
L H I agree with you but not completely. Late Ms. Donna Summer had many US and UK chart hits and several platinum and gold certified albums. Her 1979 double album "Bad Girls" sold multi platinum in many countries. Only after about 1984 her albums were sold in less numbers and she was being underrated which was very sad.
After watching this, I believe Mo’Nique even more. Black women only really get their flowers when they pass away. She was inducted into the hall of fame after she passed away. R.I.P. Donna ❤️
I get what you’re saying, however, I think Donna Summer was actually pretty heralded while she was alive on this planet. Although - - the word is she was a diva and not a very nice lady, so…… a legend for sure, but maybe not the nicest person ever. Lol.
Donna Summer is criminally underrated as a vocalist. She deserves to be in the same sentence as Aretha, Gladys, Patti, and Chaka. The only reason is she was pigeon holed as a “disco” artist. Lucky for us, she is just a TH-cam or Spotify click away.
Let's not get carried away, Donna is a talented entertainer but she's nowhere near the same class as Aretha, Gladys, Patti or Chaka. 😄 She's fortunate that disco was a thing.
I named my car Donna because On The Radio was the first song that played & she’s one my favorite artists that always seems to get me out of my funks. I’m 26 so I would kill to go back in time too see her LIVE. !

Donna's song "If It Hurts (Just A Little)" might be one of my favorite songs of all time. As a Brown Skinned Girl growing up in the 80's seeing her glamorous album covers really helped me see myself as the star I dreamed of becoming. I agree Kelly would be a great choice for the biopic and it deserves to made well.
Donna Summer is the one of the all-time greatest diva singers my favorite is... "This Time I Know It's for Real" is a song originally by American singer-songwriter Donna Summer, released on February 13, 1989.😥😥🎵🎵🎤👩🏾
Her husband is a sweetheart. He reached out to me last for advice on a new album he was releasing. He always spoke highly of her. Donna was the BEST! ❤❤❤💯
Wow! I can remember being in daycare playing around and hearing a song start on the radio that was on the caretaker's desk that said " TOOT TOOT, HEY, BEEP BEEP.....TOOT TOOT, HEY, BEEP BEEP!...." That day way back when was was the moment I became a Donna Summer fan!!! RIP!💜
That voice! That personality! I danced to everyone of her songs in my twenties. What a great time. I so admired her. I had no idea what was going on in her life, of course. She represents a chunk of my life when I was filled with hope, enthusiasm and great expectations. Thank you fir this video. I pray her soul is at rest. ❤
Donna and my Sister were besties growing up and throughout their lives. Her and my sister used to babysit for me. She was the sweetest soul ever and always very kind. We miss her terribly.
She's still missed very much. 😞 Her music and legacy is a big part of alot of our childhoods. If they ever do a biopic on Donna, they should get Kelly Rowland to play her.
Donna Summer is Pioneer icon in her own right her music will live on for generations to Generations and I specially love her duet with Barbra Streisand thank you for that marvelous short bio your channel is amazing keep up the good work much love and blessings
My memmories of Ms. Donna Summer are so beautiful. My dad came home with a new record album for me and he said, "You have to play this now". and so I did. From that point on baby Disco was raining in Our House Every Day. God Bless You Ms. Donna and also to your family. You will never be forgotten......your music will always be with us. God Bless You Our Beloved Queen of Disco as well as a beautiful Mom.
Radio 1580 KDAY is the first time I heard Donna Summer and it was just a commercial for an upcoming show back in December 1975. I have been a fan since then. I miss her and I always will. I will see her in heaven, one day soon. ♥
Not quite sure whyy ppl saying she was underrated...There is no way you can play a disco playlist without Donna Summers included in that list.She ruled that frickkin era!!! ...with 3 grammies & many other musical awards including a Hall of Fame under her belt. Thats not underrated in any sense of the word. May this legend R.I.P.
I think it's more so because people, including me, believe she was not respected and appreciated as a truly amazing vocalist with the cloud of dance or disco music hovering, you know?
Because a lot of people don't respect disco so Donna Summer is written off as the queen of a joke genre. Disco deserves respect and so does Donna because she was massively talented but people didn't appreciate
Thank you Monique for doing a bio on the late Donna Summer 🙏 This amazing vocalist & song writer was taken to soon but her music will live on forever 👄
I listened to her awesome songs when i was approaching in my early 20 i love this song I work for my money and many more off her classic music gone but not forgotten
I bop Bad Girls and She Works Hard For The Money on vinyl only! It’s something else to hear her vocals like that. Apple Music just can’t do it!! What a Queen 👸🏿
I loved how One of the songs roll right into the other without adlib . I can’t think which was first … Bad girls or Hot Stuff or She Works hard for her money.
I loved all of her songs! She works hard for the money,That was an enlightening message back in the late 70's 80s .I danced and sung her songs Many nights
Please listen to Live and More album when she does a medley of old torch songs live. You know she’s great when she makes a disco/rock loving teen boy pay attention and start liking torch songs.
I can see Kelly play her in the bio pic that being discussed. But Kelly can only play if her daughter Amanda turn the part down she look a lot like her a mother and you can her Donna Voice in her.
Love Love Love Donna Summer! I watched her Divas live every time it came on lol. Can you The Weather Girls and The Pointer Sisters? Thank you and congrats on 100k!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Congratulations on 100k. Very proud of you. I remember first watching your when you had 16k. So happy for you. I think if they ever make a biopic of her Kelly rowland should play her. She favors her. Last dance, work hard for the money are my favs.
OMG! I had no idea Donna Summer was from Boston. Let alone Mission Hill. My grandmother raised her 12 children in, what was at the time a rival housing project, Academy Homes, mere blocks away. I'm going to have to ask my mom if she knew that. And I just looked up her birthday. She was born 11 years before my mom. Her and I share a birthday, New Years Eve. 🎉🎉
I heard Donna Summers sing "",don't cry for me Argentina "". It is the best I ever heard. Lord knows I miss her and that lovely voice. She looks like she could be Kelly Rowland's Mother.
This might sound bad but I was introduced to Donna Summer by listening to Selena. Selena always said Donna Summer was an influence to her and covered her songs in concerts. After that, I started listening to Donna's original versions of the songs.
I am jim ondo from gabon.donna jointed the troup of hair 1973 in hamburg as gaine pierre, then as donna gane then when she meet hulmut summer austirian blond actor/hair musical.they falled in love a and mimi came.togother we played and acted in hair,the me nobody knows,jesus christ super star through germany,sweezerlad, austria 2 years long.we were in love for for very short time.donna was to stong to professionnel.she used to tell me jim "l came hier to make cereer to reach to top even in america"l deleive in her she help go ahead.l took her to the train station to Amsterdam for her first recoding "love to love you baby" thing you donna and hello mimi.
Donna's 1989 album "Another Place And Time" was completely glossed over in this piece. It produced her last top 10 and gold certified song on the Hot 100, a song called "This Time I Know It's For Real". It also failed to mention Donna winning the very first Grammy in the dance category in 1998. It was her fifth Grammy in total.
Donna Summer was and still is part of the soundtrack of my life, she defined what a good dance anthem was. There was a lot of greats out there but no one could top her with the way she would build up on a song and just make it soar. Always love you Donna 🎼🎶🎵♥️
Talent definitely runs in her genes. Donna's daughter Amanda Sudano has a beautiful voice. She is one half part of a group called Johhnyswim. Her husband is the other half. They music is really good
I discovered Johnny Swim on the Magnolia Network. You can tell Donna and Bruce were great parents. A bit of trivia info, the song the Gaine's Fixerupoer used as their theme song is a Johnny Swim song.
First (Black) woman to head a Christmas special, one of the highest rating Christmas special on TV. 🙏🏾 that Kelly Rowland gets to play her in a biopic series. She deserves.
Rest In Peace Donna…. You were and are Truly an ICON… Always illuminating…Beauty……Grace ……Style……and Class… You are dearly missed , Sista .. But you will ALWAYS live on to us who your songs and music inspired our generation over and over again… I STILL own some of your original albums❣️🦋❣️. My My My …. Those were the days….One had to be there to understand 💫💙🦋🌹👑🌟👠👠❤️❤️💫
FYI: in 1967, a young Melba Moore and Donna Gaines(later known as Donna Summer) both auditioned for the same role in the Broadway musical HAIR. Both ladies were so good that, the producers decided to give Melba the Broadway role. Meanwhile, Donna was offered the same role with the touring company of HAIR, which led to her leaving for Germany and Europe.
Oh Donna Summer ... WOW I dance many times on her music when i went out.1 I was 16 years when i allready went too a disco! I did cry so hard when i heard that she past away ... She was such a good singer!!!!!!
When Kelly Rowland is ready this biopic can be done.... Throw a long curly wig on Kelly and the resemblance is uncanny.... Rest in peace Donna Summer ❤️❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️... Last dance still transcends generations...
Still missing her....😔🙏🏾♥️🕊️ Donna Summer was more than the Queen of Disco. She was a DYNAMIC singer! ❣️
I Will Always Miss Her.

Never thought of Tasha Smith. But yes she would be perfect too!!!
I don't know about Tasha Smith, sorry. But I think Kelly Rowland be able to play the role of the legendary diva, late Ms. Donna Summer.

Heavily sampled. As a young person, I'm still finding out how some of the biggest hits of my generation took from this era and genre.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should have inducted Donna Summer while she was still alive! Give them their flowers while they are still here!
She shouldn't be gone. She contributed so much to the world with her talent and songs. Damn, miss her!!!
Still waiting for Ms. Kelly Rowland to play this legendary lady in her biopic
WAITING!!!!
@@natsohigh5552 Mya better hurry TF on because Zendaya's coming!
@@natsohigh5552 can definitely see Mya playing Sade! Damn I didn’t even consider that, but now I can see it.
Everything about her sound and her presence was stunning. All Systems Go, dream girl!
My favourite. She has had such a positive, great impact on me.
Donna Forever ❤️
Thanks for sharing this, one of my favorite singers growing up.
A Disco Queen being inducted into the R&R Hall of fame....ICONIC.
She should have been inducted WAY before 2013. She was amazing in every way.
@@jeankeats3200 I agree
I loved her and her voice she was so pure.
Donna Summers is a great vocalist. In the nightclub scene there is no one better. She brings the energy and vibe in spades.
Such a gorgeous, talented woman ☺ (so crazy that my mom resembles her 😁😅)
Great tribute…thank you.
Love Love Love Donna Summer! I watched her Divas live every time it came on lol. Can you The Weather Girls and The Pointer Sisters? Thank you and congrats on 100k!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Congratulations on 100k. Very proud of you. I remember first watching your when you had 16k. So happy for you. I think if they ever make a biopic of her Kelly rowland should play her. She favors her. Last dance, work hard for the money are my favs.
OMG! I had no idea Donna Summer was from Boston. Let alone Mission Hill. My grandmother raised her 12 children in, what was at the time a rival housing project, Academy Homes, mere blocks away. I'm going to have to ask my mom if she knew that. And I just looked up her birthday. She was born 11 years before my mom. Her and I share a birthday, New Years Eve. 🎉🎉
My precious Mom loved Donna Summer...played her music all time....I heard the song other day at work also started crying😌
I heard Donna Summers sing "",don't cry for me Argentina "". It is the best I ever heard. Lord knows I miss her and that lovely voice. She looks like she could be Kelly Rowland's Mother.
Y’all remember her comeback with THE QUEEN IS BACK in 2008? 😇
This might sound bad but I was introduced to Donna Summer by listening to Selena. Selena always said Donna Summer was an influence to her and covered her songs in concerts. After that, I started listening to Donna's original versions of the songs.
That is true Selena is been influence by Donna Summer. She did the cover of her songs.
Same
As long as you listened to Donna while she was living, is cool. Not a bad start
Congrats for reaching 100k subscribers!
Thank you so much! 🥰

And she was so very pretty 💃🏾I love her 💕

BOSTON’S OWN DONNA SUMMER 👸🏾ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF DISCO. REMEMBERED IN PERFECTION (RIP)
Wow I am from Boston Hyde Park.. my mom loved her.. I never knew she was from mission hill
Donna had a fabulous career,,, RIP lovely lady 💜💜
Donna's 1989 album "Another Place And Time" was completely glossed over in this piece. It produced her last top 10 and gold certified song on the Hot 100, a song called "This Time I Know It's For Real". It also failed to mention Donna winning the very first Grammy in the dance category in 1998. It was her fifth Grammy in total.
I love that song
And she has created THE Dance Anthem of all Time, which is "I FEEL LOVE".
I love your voice and the way you speak so much. I've written that in multiple videos but it is truly perfect.
Donna Summer was and still is part of the soundtrack of my life, she defined what a good dance anthem was. There was a lot of greats out there but no one could top her with the way she would build up on a song and just make it soar. Always love you Donna 🎼🎶🎵♥️
I could never get over her daughter being Vanessa from My Wife & Kids. Love me some Donna Summer! Such a timeless beauty.
Wow, I didn't know that he daughter was an actress.
Wait what serious?
I just love this women, one of my top 3,artists🥰her music 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥… her voice 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥was everything. Miss her RIP🙏🏽
Hits after hits legend
Beautiful sophisticated woman 👠 of all time excellent talent you won't find anywhere in today's era 💯
Donna Summer has a song called " the power of one " on the " Pokemon : the movie 2000 soundtrack . give it a listen . It's a great song .
Talent definitely runs in her genes. Donna's daughter Amanda Sudano has a beautiful voice. She is one half part of a group called Johhnyswim. Her husband is the other half. They music is really good
Thanks for this. I’ll look into them. Love to hear about ‘new’ music
@J D you won't be disappointed. One of my favorites by Johnnyswim is called "Heartbeats ". You'll love it
Amanda Sudano looks like her mom too. A very pretty lady. Apple didn’t fall too far from that gifted tree.
I discovered Johnny Swim on the Magnolia Network. You can tell Donna and Bruce were great parents. A bit of trivia info, the song the Gaine's Fixerupoer used as their theme song is a Johnny Swim song.
lyricist513 Is that so? I have not heard about Johhnyswim (are the spellings correct?) so far. I will definitely check. Thank you for the information!
I feel like Donna Summer is so underrated. She’s an incredible vocalist who owned a genre of music. RIP Miss Donna Summer you’re a queen
First (Black) woman to head a Christmas special, one of the highest rating Christmas special on TV.
🙏🏾 that Kelly Rowland gets to play her in a biopic series. She deserves.

FYI: in 1967, a young Melba Moore and Donna Gaines(later known as Donna Summer) both auditioned for the same role in the Broadway musical HAIR. Both ladies were so good that, the producers decided to give Melba the Broadway role. Meanwhile, Donna was offered the same role with the touring company of HAIR, which led to her leaving for Germany and Europe.
Oh Donna Summer ... WOW I dance many times on her music when i went out.1 I was 16 years when i allready went too a disco! I did cry so hard when i heard that she past away ... She was such a good singer!!!!!!
When Kelly Rowland is ready this biopic can be done.... Throw a long curly wig on Kelly and the resemblance is uncanny.... Rest in peace Donna Summer ❤️❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️... Last dance still transcends generations...
“She Works Hard For The Money” was a good album. My fav song from that LP is “Unconditional Love” featuring Musical Youth.
I love this channel so much. Not just for the nostalgia but for the extremely well researched and exceptionally presented content. Thank you.
always remember Donna as she was queen of the discos.in the 70s. love goes on, yes !
RIP Donna Summer
Donna summer...add her to the list of great black women artist....much love and respect.🙏💪🔥💯❤️
It's 2022 and I listen to her music all the time, love forever and ever Ms. Summer🌹🌹🌹👌😏
