I don't care how many albums Beyoncé sells or how many awards she gets. I don't care how many times Whitney Houston is called The Voice or that she, Mariah and Celine are called the so called Vocal Trinity. Donna Summer will always be the top tier and my all time favorite of them all. She's one bad girl! 🙂
I remember when Hot Stuff and Bad Girls were numbers 1 and 2 on the Billboard charts and then Dim All the Lights joined them in the top 5. Donna was amazing!!!
The version with "Hot Stuff" going right into "Bad Girls" with no pause is absolute 🔥!!! I'm pretty sure they recorded them in the same session. The beats are the exact same speed, and pretty much the same. These were back-to-back #1 hits for her, and at one point, they were both in the top 3 at the same time.
The album was recorded as one continuous dance mix. Each song mixes into the next, which she did on many of her albums. The only side 3 with the ballads is not a continuous mix. Check out her "Once Upon A Time" album. It's a double album, all a continuous mix, except for a ballad or two. They always released single versions for radio with fades at the end.
Donna should of had more singles off Bad Girls... BUT On The Radio greatest hits was coming out (too soon from my POV) and had to make way for On The Radio single.
How could anyone not love Donna Summer. Incredibly talented, intelligent, drop dead gorgeous, and the essence of class! She was a bright light! She was just great in every way!
The whistle is my favorite part of the song. When me and my girls went clubbing, we had whistles and tambourines, and everyone knew we would shut down the dance floor.
Can't go wrong with the Queen of Disco. "Love to Love You Baby", was, I think, her first big hit, and it's a classic. "I Feel Love" is also one that got people movin', as is "On the Radio" and "Love is In Control".
“Toot toot beep beep” that is what we would sing on the dance floor! People would have whistles….what a party! I did notice that you all were enjoying it!
Donna wrote the song Bad Girls back in 1977, after her friend and manager, Susan Manuno was mistaken for a prostitute leaving Casablanca Records on Sunset Blvd. She was wearing her disco pants. President Neil Bogart suggested to Donna that she give the song to her label mate Cher. Donna decided to hold onto the song, and ended up using it for this album. For the 3rd time in 8 months, Donna repeated having the #1 single and the #1 album on the Billboard Hot 100 and 200 albums chart simultaneously (when both the single and album top the charts together for 5 weeks in July/August 1979. She was also nominated for Best Pop and R & B vocal performance at the Grammys in 1980 for the song Bad Girls.
The music is so 🔥,with so many super things going on in it,that it had them so absorbed that they missed the seriousness of the subject manner Donna was singing about: young girls putting themselves at risk allowing themselves to picked up by all kinds of dudes driving up and down the Strip. The beep-beeps actually represent the car horns sounding on the traffic-clogged street. Great track,though. In the UK it only reached number 14 when it was a hit in July/August 1979,but it received a silver disc for officially shifting a quarter of a million copies. That must be pretty close to a record for a song peaking that low achieving that,and shows just how strong the competition was at the time! It was her second major UK hit of that summer after Hot Stuff spent two weeks at number 11. If disco was as dead as some in the USA by then as some people say,it was still producing cracking records like these.
Love Bad Girls. Saw Donna Summer in concert. She had 5,000 people out of their seats dancing. One of the best concerts ever. When she closed the show with Last Dance, it was CRAZY. No one wanted to leave. R.I.P. Donna and thanks for all the great music. Thanks Jay and Amber for showcasing the fabulous Donna Summer. 😊👏🇨🇦❤️
Ugh you’re so lucky I’m not even 20 and Donna is my absolute favorite artist I’m so sad that I’ll never be able to hear her live, I don’t even have anyone to gush about her music with
"Toot toot aahhh beep beep!" Legendary Disco lyrics. "Bad Girls" was #1 on the Billboard Disco, Pop Hot 100 & R&B/Soul charts in 1979. This was Summer at her peak popularity. Released immediately after "Hot Stuff" (#1 Pop, #1 Disco & #3 R&B/Soul) in the summer of 1979. "Bad Girls" peaked @ #1 for 5 weeks on the Hot 100, 7 weeks on the Disco chart & 1 week on the R&B/Soul chart.
Bad Girls (all cuts) spent 7 weeks at the top of the Dance Chart in 1979. Can you imagine it they counted the songs as singles back then, instead of the entire album. Donna would have double the amount of #1s she has on that chart.
I definitely downplayed liking disco but I was only lying to myself 😆. I'd listen to it on my way to work and feel great when I got there. I'm sure I could get away with calling that therapy 😆
So many beautiful and talented women back in the 70's and 80's! It was hard to have just one crush, and Donna was on my list! Check her out in the movie "Thank God Its Friday!"
Omg, I remember for a friend's birthday party when I was a kid, we were trying to decide whether we were gonna see Thank God It's Friday or Star Wars, and more kids voted for Thank God It's Friday, so that movie is always tied in my memory to that birthday party and also Star Wars
Donna Summer was actually my girlfriend, back in the day. Of course, she didn't know that. But I could fantasize. Man! She had it all! Voice. Talent. Looks. Sex appeal! We all miss you, Donna. Thanks for leaving your mark on this world!
my girl friend Cha-Cha is stalking Donna in heaven right now pestering her to the songs we danced to in the 80s. "Lucky", "I Love You" and "Sunset People".
'MacArthur Park' is one of my favorites from Donna Summer. Hope you react to Lisa Fischer 'How can I Ease the Pain' next Female Friday! She won a Grammy for it. Have a good weekend and thank you both!
This Queen had so many great songs. Her jam “On the Radio” is also great. “Love to Love You Baby”, “Could It Be Magic” and “I Feel Love” are also some I know u will love! RIP🌹
Jay n Amber , I truly don't know how you're able to find the time to post 3 videos here and also 2 other channels. With 3 little ones and your personal lives I sincerely want to thank you. Your videos bring many of us a smile a laugh and the enjoyment of watching your reaction to these classic songs. Been a favorite channel of mine quite a while.
Donna Summers. She had so many hits back in the day. May she rest in peace. I think a group you should check out if you don't check out them on girl group or female Friday try any other day and they are the Jones girls and the song is "Nights over Egypt" I really think you would enjoy this. When the song comes on you can close your eyes and literally seem like you're in Egypt back in Nefertiri's days
Love Donna Summer!! 💃🏼 please check out "The Wanderer" "This Time I Know It's For Real" "I Feel Love" "On The Radio" such great songs!! Also "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves" by Aretha Franklin & Annie Lennox! And Sister Sledge "We Are Family"!! Female Friday Anthems!! Keep smiling!! ✨😁✨
50 years ago, at the 1972 Grammy’s, CAROLE KING won a record FOUR Grammy’s! …including …ALBUM OF THE YEAR ~ ‘Tapestry’🎹 …SONG OF THE YEAR ~ ‘It’s Too Late’ She won another for …SONG WRITER for James Taylor’s ‘You’ve Got A Friend’ I’m shocked that this ICON has been ignored this long 🤷🏻♂️
Great song and Donna's vocals are killer on this one! The song went to #1 and Donna was nominated for best pop vocal female ,but lost to Dionne Warwick.
I have been a Donna Summer Fan since the movie. TGIF - Last Dance And speaking of Disco, the movie Xanadu with Olivia Newton John was about building a roller skating disco. Greats songs from that movie (although it didn't do good at the box office.) I believe the kids would like the movie. It does have a fan club. RIP Olivia and THANK YOU for your wonderful body of work.
There were a lot of songs on this double album that leaned more towards modern techno house music. Sunset People is total techno. Her next album in 1980, sounded totally different. She had almost dropped disco completely and was going more rock, but kept the techno arpeggios
Donna Summer is pure joy. I had forgotten the cop whistle, it was in a ton of disco songs, never better. Toot,Toot, Beep,Beep classic lyrics. Gotta dance.Thanks again for this smile.
Okay just to give an idea how young I was when this came out, my mom heard me and my friends singing along and she had to explain about what a call girl was and that it wasn’t a proper song for 11 year olds to sing 🤣
LOL..same here. I used to sing and dance along and sing "bad girl, youre such a dirty bad girl" and my dad would just roll his eyes knowing it was just all about the beat and not the words.
Donna Summer is great. She also did a little acting in the show " Family Matters". She was Steve's- Aunt Unna. She also did some gospel singing in the show.
As a teenage boy, I fell in love with Ms. Donna's EXCEPTIONAL voice and bought all her albums. When the Bad Girls album came out, I quickly bought it and listened to it incessantly. I declared each song "SUPERB". In my humble opinion, the title song is an exciting blend of disco and rock.
Don't miss out on Sunset People from this album. That one was my "driving song" when I got my driver license at 16, shortly after this album was released. This cassette was permanently in my tape player for months! Great reaction!
The feeling and the pulse on the street on the downtown strip in the summer of 1979 was amazing. Songs like this were emanating from the windows of the cars as they cruised the strip.
Last Dance Love To Love You Baby Bad Girls was on the top of the charts for 6 weeks in June 1979. It was considered to be one of the greatest disco albums. Got ya 🕺💃 dancing. Beep Beep Lol Great reaction. RIP Donna. Thanks for the memories. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Donna Summer did some of the most ground breaking music ever. With her flawless vocals and engineer Robby Wedel, there is a lot of music that would exist today if not for them
this album SLAYED!!! i was a kid in the 70s but i remember this song and Hot Stuff being EVERYWHERE when this album came out. Years later i also grew to appreciate that she was the first modern female pop star to dare wear only a negligée on her album cover .... years before Madonna hit the scene. that took confidence and guts.
Donna Summers was the Disco Queen when they played Donna Summers at disco Halls everybody got up and danced.. rest in peace Donna your voice and music live on
God Bless u guys for keeping Donna's flame alive. I love ur reactions to her better than any other reactors. U really get just how amazing she really is and I just love the smiles on ur faces the minute her music begins. This song was a triple platinum triumph for her biggest selling album shattering boundaries all over the place. As a fan who met her many times I can tell u she was the nicest, funniest , and most humble person ever! And u guys have barely put a dent in the amount of top 10 singles THE QUEEN has had! LOVE HER AND LOVE U GUYS!
Jay, it's Summer (no S on the end), not Summers. Knowing the DS songs you've already done, here are a few that should be next on your playlist: "I Feel Love" (really an iconic disco hit that showed off the amazing talents of Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte who were her producers), "On the Radio" (as a radio guy myself, I always had a special place in my heart for this one), and the song that might show off her vast talents the best, "MacArthur Park," a cover of the iconic 1967 hit by Richard Harris. Her song "Last Dance" might be the most iconic disco song of all time. But there is one other that you really shouldn't miss, and that's her debut hit, "Love to Love You Baby." I urge you to find the 17-minute album version (the single was 3 minutes). The album version is just about a 17-minute orgasm, and it was so controversial at the time of its release, nobody thought radio would ever play it. But play it we did, and it launched Donna Summer's career and put her on everyone's radar.
This is my favorite Donna Summer song. Disco, baby! Hey, there are a LOT of other great disco songs you should check out. A couple of my favorites are Grooveline by Heatwave and Disco Nights by GQ. You will love them both, I guarantee.
This is one of the most groovy disco track ever made! I have loved this song since the year it was first released and I still listen to it regularly. She made SO many good and timeless tracks during her disco years and even after that. She co-wrote this song and TOOT TOOT, HEY BEEB BEEB was her idea since she thought the song needed some spices when it was almost ready. She will always be my queen! Thanks for this video!
Donna Summer was certainly the "Queen" I too had a crush on her !! So talented and beautiful to boot. You check out Nicolette Larson "lotta Love" for Female Friday.
I think the BEST place to hear a Donna Summer song is at a disco…..just can’t explain how that beat just resonates through your whole body cause the volume is so high. Friggin FANTASTIC! Those folks who haven’t had the pleasure of the “DISCO” experience don’t know what you’ve missed. Disco’s may have gone the way of the Dodo in the states but are still popular in Europe. I have all of Donna’s albums and most of the other disco tunes as well…..I was 22 and single when this hit the disc in 1979……what fun we all had! Cheers
When Jay said "Fire" I immediately wondered if you'd listened to any Pointer Sisters music yet? They were known for songs "Fire", "Slow Hand", "Yes We Can Can" and their best selling album "Break Out" from 1983. That album had back to back hit single hits and kept them in the charts for the best part of a year. They're from Oakland CA.
Totally agree! Next Donna Summer songs should be „On the radio“ and „Love to love you baby“ (this is a little bit different… You will get it, when you hear😅)
I this song...it may be my favorite Donna Summer hit, and she had many! This is why she is known has the Queen of Disco...your feet cannot stop moving! 💖💖
Great reaction and loving how the younger generation is appreciating legends like Donna Summer and disco. Imagine back in the days going out to clubs and hearing these great songs all night and feeling like you were on top of the world. One things I wish the younger folks bring back going dancing at clubs. Bc when you hear these songs and it makes you feel good, dancing and expressing you body takes it to another level. Trust me and clubs will come back just like disco. For is boomers that associated this music with dancing, ot feels a big part is missing just going to a bar to just drink and not do any dancing. So please bring back going out dancing and not to just stand there and drink like what’s going on now. We boomers already did the work bc back in the days if you like disco and you were a guy, ppl. would pull back bc they didn’t want to come off as gay. But in this anything goes generation, y’all no longer have to worry about that and can do what you like. Oh and not saying there’s anything bad about being gay, but ppl. had smaller minds back then and afraid to be like they wanted to be and many played safe.
I am 77 and love Donna Summer. Her voice is amazing and she really belts it out. You guys are amazing too, and I really enjoy watching your shows. I can tell you are into what you do. Keep up the good work. PS: The whistle and when she says "Hey Mister..." is my favorite part of the song too. Play "Muscles" by Dina Ross is one of my favorite songs; as many as others like "Venus" by Bobby Rydell and Dream Lover by Bobby Darwin. Another suggestion is "Along Came Jones" by The Coasters.
Love the QUEEN of Disco!!! So many amazing songs, but I gotta say, Love is in Control is probably my fave-- always takes me right back to the roller rink!
Love your reaction to Donna's music. Thank you for showcasing her and giving the younger generations an opportunity to discover one of the best vocalists of all time.
This is why the seventies will never be equaled. I live 500 miles south of Chicago and would listen to WLS AM The Big 89 at night. On one station I could hear Donna, Zeppelin, Carly Simon, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Eagles, Stevie Wonder, Boston, Skynyrd, Barry Manilow, Elton John and so many many more. Even Charlie Daniels telling of a fiddle contest in Georgia. All music available and everyone grooved to it. And Donna was indeed the Queen.
I was 17 when this was on the radio, had a high school radio station I jocked and this was the pinnacle of disco, Donna Summer definitely the queen of disco, though it didn't last, it was a fun time to be alive for sure...Rock ON!!
Beep beep, my girls grew up listening and dancing to Donna Summer. To them, beep beep sounded like see feet and to this day that's the way they sing it. Love us some Donna Summer....
Donna Summer was, and always will be "The Queen Of Disco" 💃🕺🎙🎵
Absolutely 💯 Correct .. 😊👍🏼
You took the word’s right out of my mouth 😀
Absolutely!
Ah, she is more than that.
@@jeanstrickland2445 Meatloaf ❤
That “Toottoot, Beepbeep!” is legendary! 💃🏽💃🏽
I am 66 years old. I met my wife dancing at the discos. Donna Summers was on fire in the late 70s.
This was THE hottest album of 1979, the last great year of the disco era, everybody had this album!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don't care how many albums Beyoncé sells or how many awards she gets. I don't care how many times Whitney Houston is called The Voice or that she, Mariah and Celine are called the so called Vocal Trinity. Donna Summer will always be the top tier and my all time favorite of them all. She's one bad girl! 🙂
I totally agree with that, under rated. Class
Truth!😎
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!! 👍😃❣️😃👍
And she kept het clothes on.
Come on, Whitney was the most talented among the women you mentioned. Mariah a close second.
"MacArthur Park" was one of Donna's finest works of art. She can belt out a ballad too.
Omg I love her version of MacArthur Park
If you can review the live at Belgium proms version…..its the full length and superb orchestration
I concur
Who left the cake out? Why is the recipe missing? These mysteries have challenged me for 50 years.
Who left the cake out? Why is the recipe missing? These mysteries have challenged me for 50 years.
The first 3 singles from this album were just pure fire....Hot Stuff, Bad Girls, and Dim All The Lights.
Wow, Dim All The Lights - I forgot all about that absolute gem!!
@@LiberalsArePoop my personal favorite 😉
I remember when Hot Stuff and Bad Girls were numbers 1 and 2 on the Billboard charts and then Dim All the Lights joined them in the top 5. Donna was amazing!!!
Love Dim all the Lights!!
@@Cindrbell Same! That was always one of my favs.
You've got to listen to "MacArthur's Park!" It's her vocal masterpiece.
Love Donna Summer’s “MacArthur’s Park “ !
There are some live versions on TH-cam that are amazing.
@@User2718218 I just watched one! It was live and flawless.

The hottest 12" single ever made.
I love this cd!
YESSSSSSS. What a treat it was to discover that on the album. Giorgio's magic!
Donna should of had more singles off Bad Girls... BUT On The Radio greatest hits was coming out (too soon from my POV) and had to make way for On The Radio single.
The impact this album had on the music industry cannot be overstated. It was number one on the charts for months.
I wish the still made 70s songs like this.
How could anyone not love Donna Summer. Incredibly talented, intelligent, drop dead gorgeous, and the essence of class! She was a bright light! She was just great in every way!
"On the Radio" and "McArthur Park" highlight the beauty of her voice on a slow tune. She's a classic.👍😍
The whistle is my favorite part of the song. When me and my girls went clubbing, we had whistles and tambourines, and everyone knew we would shut down the dance floor.
I think I remember you! Lol!
Would love it when folks would bring out the accessories onto the dance floor. Really upped the energy level!
Weren't those the days? Makes me smile to remember them.

Big song at all those young teen parties after school! "Love to Love You Baby" will make Jay blush and make his eyes go very wide!
agreed!! 🤣
@@surlechapeau Right? LOL.
Both of them would blush!
Ahhhhh!
I don’t think they caught on to what subject matter and profession the song implies.
Can't go wrong with the Queen of Disco. "Love to Love You Baby", was, I think, her first big hit, and it's a classic. "I Feel Love" is also one that got people movin', as is "On the Radio" and "Love is In Control".

@@waynecox3958 Yes, that's my favorite of hers and Last Dance is great too at the peak of the disco era.
They did those....or some of them
That whole album is one big party..absolutely love her
Awesome album.

I saw her too--at Ravinia near Chicago in the early oughts! So great! We had pavilion seats and we all danced like crazy!
You couldn't go anywhere without hearing Donna Summer's music in the 70's. Indeed, one of the GOATs for sure.
If The Queen Of Disco doesn’t get you toe tappin’ and groovin’ then you’re simply not human. Love love love Donna Summer! 💕 Pure 🔥!!!
“Dim All The Lights” and “On The Radio” and “McArthur’s Park” are just simply 🔥
Donna's I Feel Love changed the face of music. It was so ahead of its time. Also MacArthur's Park turned things completely around as well.
Jay/Amber, you'll love her "Love to Love You Baby" and "MacArthur Park"!!!
"Toot toot aahhh beep beep!" Legendary Disco lyrics. "Bad Girls" was #1 on the Billboard Disco, Pop Hot 100 & R&B/Soul charts in 1979. This was Summer at her peak popularity.

My second 45.. Rhinestone Cowboy was #1 lol
Bad Girls (all cuts) spent 7 weeks at the top of the Dance Chart in 1979. Can you imagine it they counted the songs as singles back then, instead of the entire album. Donna would have double the amount of #1s she has on that chart.
I was NEVER into disco, but,,,,,,,,I did love Donna Summer. Her voice is unbelievable and she was a beautiful woman!!
Sooooo you were into disco huh???😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We all loved disco even if we hid it.
I definitely downplayed liking disco but I was only lying to myself 😆. I'd listen to it on my way to work and feel great when I got there. I'm sure I could get away with calling that therapy 😆

So do I!

She was huge in Detroit, one of the main breeding grounds of early techno music. Guys like Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May etc.
Donna Summer is THE QUEEN of DISCO.. We have the queen of pop, king of pop, She was the QUEEN of Disco. The BEST!!!!

Okay just to give an idea how young I was when this came out, my mom heard me and my friends singing along and she had to explain about what a call girl was and that it wasn’t a proper song for 11 year olds to sing 🤣
So many people miss what the song is actually about. Who can blame them when the beat and the vibe is so fun
LOL..same here. I used to sing and dance along and sing "bad girl, youre such a dirty bad girl" and my dad would just roll his eyes knowing it was just all about the beat and not the words.
Yup I remember in 4th grade we all sang this song about prostitution 🤣🤣
Donna Summer is great. She also did a little acting in the show " Family Matters". She was Steve's- Aunt Unna. She also did some gospel singing in the show.
Gospel was her background in music.
Another disco jam about the Ladies of the Night...during the rollerskating era of the 1970s! LOVE IT! 😊👏🏾🎤🎶🎸🎹💯🛼♥
As a teenage boy, I fell in love with Ms. Donna's EXCEPTIONAL voice and bought all her albums. When the Bad Girls album came out, I quickly bought it and listened to it incessantly. I declared each song "SUPERB". In my humble opinion, the title song is an exciting blend of disco and rock.
Don't miss out on Sunset People from this album. That one was my "driving song" when I got my driver license at 16, shortly after this album was released. This cassette was permanently in my tape player for months! Great reaction!
The feeling and the pulse on the street on the downtown strip in the summer of 1979 was amazing. Songs like this were emanating from the windows of the cars as they cruised the strip.
Spent many Saturday nights at a disco dancing to Donna Summers,,
Donna Summers was the Bomb!!
RIP Donna
“On the Radio” is another killer song.
Two of many more hits from Donna are "Last Dance" and "McArthur's Park". And She IS The Queen of Disco.
Last Dance
Love To Love You Baby
Bad Girls was on the top of the charts for 6 weeks in June 1979. It was considered to be one of the greatest disco albums.
Got ya 🕺💃 dancing. Beep Beep Lol Great reaction. RIP Donna. Thanks for the memories.

The LEGENDARY Iconic Ms Donna Summer
My best friend Cheryl loved Donna Summers and told me Donna was singing this song about her .. She is a good, bad girl ..😜
One of my very favorite Donna Summer songs is her cover of MacArthur Park. I'd love to see you react to it.
Donna Summer did some of the most ground breaking music ever. With her flawless vocals and engineer Robby Wedel, there is a lot of music that would exist today if not for them
Don't forget her legendary producer, Giorgio Moroder who created the amazing synth and electronic sounds for Donna's voice to sing to.
this album SLAYED!!! i was a kid in the 70s but i remember this song and Hot Stuff being EVERYWHERE when this album came out. Years later i also grew to appreciate that she was the first modern female pop star to dare wear only a negligée on her album cover .... years before Madonna hit the scene. that took confidence and guts.
Donna Summers was the Disco Queen when they played Donna Summers at disco Halls everybody got up and danced.. rest in peace Donna your voice and music live on
God Bless u guys for keeping Donna's flame alive. I love ur reactions to her better than any other reactors. U really get just how amazing she really is and I just love the smiles on ur faces the minute her music begins. This song was a triple platinum triumph for her biggest selling album shattering boundaries all over the place. As a fan who met her many times I can tell u she was the nicest, funniest , and most humble person ever! And u guys have barely put a dent in the amount of top 10 singles THE QUEEN has had! LOVE HER AND LOVE U GUYS!
Jay, it's Summer (no S on the end), not Summers. Knowing the DS songs you've already done, here are a few that should be next on your playlist: "I Feel Love" (really an iconic disco hit that showed off the amazing talents of Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte who were her producers), "On the Radio" (as a radio guy myself, I always had a special place in my heart for this one), and the song that might show off her vast talents the best, "MacArthur Park," a cover of the iconic 1967 hit by Richard Harris. Her song "Last Dance" might be the most iconic disco song of all time. But there is one other that you really shouldn't miss, and that's her debut hit, "Love to Love You Baby." I urge you to find the 17-minute album version (the single was 3 minutes). The album version is just about a 17-minute orgasm, and it was so controversial at the time of its release, nobody thought radio would ever play it. But play it we did, and it launched Donna Summer's career and put her on everyone's radar.
On the Radio
My favorite Donna Summer
Her Legend Lives on.......
Boston's beautiful Donna Summer the Queen of disco! What a lovely Lady and voice.
You just transported me back to my childhood . Used to dance to this in my older sister's bedroom! Love it
This is my favorite Donna Summer song. Disco, baby! Hey, there are a LOT of other great disco songs you should check out. A couple of my favorites are Grooveline by Heatwave and Disco Nights by GQ. You will love them both, I guarantee.
Donna was amazing
This is one of the most groovy disco track ever made! I have loved this song since the year it was first released and I still listen to it regularly. She made SO many good and timeless tracks during her disco years and even after that. She co-wrote this song and TOOT TOOT, HEY BEEB BEEB was her idea since she thought the song needed some spices when it was almost ready. She will always be my queen! Thanks for this video!
Never enough of the late, GREAT Donna! Thanks! Please give a listen to Oleta Adams, Circle of One.
PLEEEEASE BRING bacK the 1970s PLEEEEASE
Donna Summer was certainly the "Queen" I too had a crush on her !! So talented and beautiful to boot. You check out Nicolette Larson "lotta Love" for Female Friday.
I think the BEST place to hear a Donna Summer song is at a disco…..just can’t explain how that beat just resonates through your whole body cause the volume is so high. Friggin FANTASTIC! Those folks who haven’t had the pleasure of the “DISCO” experience don’t know what you’ve missed. Disco’s may have gone the way of the Dodo in the states but are still popular in Europe. I have all of Donna’s albums and most of the other disco tunes as well…..I was 22 and single when this hit the disc in 1979……what fun we all had! Cheers
Incredibly talented woman. And there was so much more to her than her voice. Check out the back story
MacCARTHER PARK HAS TO BE THE next DONNA SUMMER SONG TO REACT TOO
When Jay said "Fire" I immediately wondered if you'd listened to any Pointer Sisters music yet? They were known for songs "Fire", "Slow Hand", "Yes We Can Can" and their best selling album "Break Out" from 1983. That album had back to back hit single hits and kept them in the charts for the best part of a year. They're from Oakland CA.
Donna Summer..On the Radio is awesome!
Totally agree! Next Donna Summer songs should be „On the radio“ and „Love to love you baby“ (this is a little bit different… You will get it, when you hear😅)
This was THE disco song.
People wore their whistles on the dance floor, and blew them.
I this song...it may be my favorite Donna Summer hit, and she had many! This is why she is known has the Queen of Disco...your feet cannot stop moving! 💖💖
The Whistle was an important part of Disco! It was a fashion accessory. People wore them in the clubs.
THE Queen of Disco!!!!
Great reaction and loving how the younger generation is appreciating legends like Donna Summer and disco. Imagine back in the days going out to clubs and hearing these great songs all night and feeling like you were on top of the world.
One things I wish the younger folks bring back going dancing at clubs. Bc when you hear these songs and it makes you feel good, dancing and expressing you body takes it to another level. Trust me and clubs will come back just like disco. For is boomers that associated this music with dancing, ot feels a big part is missing just going to a bar to just drink and not do any dancing. So please bring back going out dancing and not to just stand there and drink like what’s going on now. We boomers already did the work bc back in the days if you like disco and you were a guy, ppl. would pull back bc they didn’t want to come off as gay. But in this anything goes generation, y’all no longer have to worry about that and can do what you like. Oh and not saying there’s anything bad about being gay, but ppl. had smaller minds back then and afraid to be like they wanted to be and many played safe.
She was one of the "Queens" of "Disco" back in the day...such a sweet dear Lady(RIP)...ty for this one guys
Remember hearing this when I was really young, a Disco Classic!!!
I am 77 and love Donna Summer. Her voice is amazing and she really belts it out. You guys are amazing too, and I really enjoy watching your shows. I can tell you are into what you do. Keep up the good work.
PS: The whistle and when she says "Hey Mister..." is my favorite part of the song too. Play "Muscles" by Dina Ross is one of my favorite songs; as many as others like "Venus" by Bobby Rydell and Dream Lover by Bobby Darwin. Another suggestion is "Along Came Jones" by The Coasters.
I SOOO LOVE SONGS SUMMER!!!
SHE IT AMAZING
Love the QUEEN of Disco!!! So many amazing songs, but I gotta say, Love is in Control is probably my fave-- always takes me right back to the roller rink!
Donna summers bad girls album is fantastic every song on that album is
My Queen!!! R.I.P. Donna! You and your energy and voice are so missed!
Love your reaction to Donna's music. Thank you for showcasing her and giving the younger generations an opportunity to discover one of the best vocalists of all time.
Donna summer is the Queen of Disco. Period.
Donna Summer had so many great fantastic wonderful beautiful songs.
This is why the seventies will never be equaled. I live 500 miles south of Chicago and would listen to WLS AM The Big 89 at night. On one station I could hear Donna, Zeppelin, Carly Simon, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Eagles, Stevie Wonder, Boston, Skynyrd, Barry Manilow, Elton John and so many many more. Even Charlie Daniels telling of a fiddle contest in Georgia. All music available and everyone grooved to it. And Donna was indeed the Queen.
I was 17 when this was on the radio, had a high school radio station I jocked and this was the pinnacle of disco, Donna Summer definitely the queen of disco, though it didn't last, it was a fun time to be alive for sure...Rock ON!!
Beep beep, my girls grew up listening and dancing to Donna Summer. To them, beep beep sounded like see feet and to this day that's the way they sing it. Love us some Donna Summer....
My husband, daughter and I cleaned house every weekend to Donna Summers greatest hits! We danced disco and had a ball!
Got to do "I Feel Love"! The sound is different and will get you SHOOK!
