Donna Summer was and in our hearts will always be the greatest dance queen in the world. Her talent was great, her voice even greater, I do not think she has ever gotten the praise and the credit she really deserve. I loved her, GOD keep you in his arms for ever.
@@tubester4567 She should have sung another type of music like soul, r&b, jazz, gospel, pop, thing that she did but sometimes, she had a great voice, what a pity. The Christmas cd is awesome, listen to it if you still haven't done it
Yeah man Donna was very sexy, she was one of the first black young woman sex symbols at that time, in other words she was highly desired by many men, even famous men tried to smash but it wasn't happening lol
Notice how a Donna doesn’t pander it feed into the old rumor Arsenio is driving at? She keeps it classy. She even throws in a lil’ bonus humor to further diffuse the situation. What a class act she was!!!!
DONNA SUMMER was an amazing vocalist & so ICONIC. DONNA was an anointed singer, she could make you cry with singing or make you laugh. Donna was a true artist 🎨. RIP DONNA 😢
paymydues of course it was a fun record it seems for her to record she had just come off all those horrid years under David geffen and she comes into this great record happy music . Why the follow up singles to this time I know it’s for real didn’t take off here in USA still baffles me..
A few months after seeing this show, I suffered a huge tragedy, ad Donna's words about how God knows what he's doing were as much a comfort to me as anything could be; I always loved Donna, still miss that she's not here on earth, but know she's i a good place. Rest in Peace!
@@jackanthony976 Donna Summer never lost her faith in God, even with her cancer. I was born with a physical disability (Cerebral Palsy) and have been through many tragedies in life, including severe abuse as a child, and I still have faith in God. The existence of pain and suffering in this world is real, but it doesn't disprove the existence of God.
Arsenio is such a great interviewer. He has a unique way of asking questions, no matter how difficult those were and make his guests comfortable and relax to answer them.
@@jimdavis081, LOOOOl!!! Magic defines why I believe the 90s wasn't not the golden age of talk shows lol. But Arsenio Hall was ass tbh 89-90 those two years were great but after it was meh
This was just a great phase of her career, she looked better than ever, and her album, "Another Place & Time" was such a huge hit. I can't believe it was 20 years ago.
lost my two favorite all time singers ever this year. donna...who paved the way for whitney...i never thought in a million years when my momma danced with me to donna and "dim all the lights"...and then i sang in a hairbrush to every whitney song...and met her and she was so gracious...that we would see those two go to Heaven the same year. just miss them. living in nashville...working in music...those two...seriously...artists in every way. and wonderful women. God blessed us with them. THANKS.
I have always loved this beautiful singer who looks alot like my cousin Linda. When I first heard her voice I knew she was something special. RIP love you always Omari.
I met this lady once at her home. Personable real and likable. She did not know that I always had a a crush on her. Beautiful and talented. I miss you Donna. RIP.
Omg I forgot that was a Rumor . I remember hearing that talk as a kid . But you know what I always focused on the gift she’s given to us HER VOICE and I love u Donna .always RIH what a GODDDES!
I presume Donna knew by this stage that her song "This time I know it's for real" had hit US Billboard number 7 i.e. a big hit. Her previous record company executives at Geffen must have been kicking themselves!
@guymichel8533: Her last Geffen album with the single "Dinner With Gershwin", after 6 years of irregular material and bad promotion, had already been a hit pretty much everywhere...the mistake from Geffen was that they simply dismissed her as a valid act after the Disco era and were incapable of gather her with top producers/material...
I always gravitated to hard rock, but I always thought this ladie was an amazing talent and deserved more time on this earth, Like many who are gone, I wish I had met her....................
Great interview. i have never seen Donna Summer so playful and funny. The rumor that they are talking about its ridiculous. Donna does not look like a man at all. She was actually a very feminine beautiful woman.
Donna summer is a goddess. Beyonce and all the other female singers could never compare to donna.when you hear donna singing... You know she is the best there is, best there was, n the best that ever will be!
@@alexturchick240 She doesn't have a gospel album but on certain albums, she has songs that could be considered gospel. More so contemporary christian though. The "She Works Hard For The Money" album or the "Cats Without Claws" album are two examples.
I think Arsenio and Donna were addressing two different rumors. It sounded like she was trying to address the rumor where someone said she made a homophobic remark and he was addressing the man rumor. He shouldn't have done that because it clearly made her uncomfortable.
Someday I hope she spills the beans about how David Geffen, after signing her as his first artist on his record label, consequently misjudged her material and stalled her momentum. Had she stayed with Casablanca/Polygram, maybe things would have been different - but then, she did want time to raise her new daughters after having her mother raise Mimi...
We're born,we grow, a few become famous,some are very attractive ( indeed she was absolutely gorgeous!) Some are talented, personable, wealthy, lucky and seem to "have it all"- then there's the rest of us, working stiffs, crooks, con artists, scammers, alcoholics, druggies, no talent, no looks, no fortune nor fame- just existence. What an incredible disparity. She seemed to " have it all"! How incredibly sad and ironic(with such an incredibly beautiful voice) that she died of lung cancer and so relatively young. Sooner or later we all wind up as worm food! What a seriously *ucked up world.
+DJaySplitSecond It was the disco era, the moniker disco queen might not have been a help. But move to Geffen records is what really sank her career. She only released 4 albums with Geffen, She Works Hard for the Money was released by Polygram..which is why it was promoted properly. Unfortunately Geffen , was not a great place for established superstars as they claimed they never intended to focus on them. As far as Whitney - she was balladeer (and heavily promoted) , and certainly never showed the versatility or range that Donna did. Donna is the only artist to be nominated in 5 different genres of music at the Grammys.
+Bob Jacubas wow didn't know that, and Donna is my favorite female vocalist, I just wished they took her in another direction and plus Whitney had Clive Davis who personally invested money and time in her but I love both singers though
DJaySplitSecond There is no question Clive Davis made a difference, not just in the money and support (promotion), but in the connections he had in the business to get the promotion and air play on the radio. He spent 1/2 million on the debut album and 3 million in promotion (which was unheard of - pretty much still is). Then Mariah had Tommy Mutola who reportedly spent 800 thousand on her debut album, and another man with large industry connections.
It does seem though, that people forget Donna was the first pop female megastar. She was the first female to dominate the Billboard charts. The first to have the #1 single and #1 album on the pop charts, the first to have two song in the top 3, did it twice in 1979 with 4 different songs. The first to have 3 #1 singles & 5 top 5 singles in a calendar year. She pushed the boundaries by crossing into multiple genres in a segregated radio landscape. She is the only artist to be nominated for Grammys in 5 different genres of music, and the only to win Grammys in 4 different genres.She isn't called the Game Changer for nothing. She sold over 20 million albums in the US and close to 15 million singles in 4-1/2 years with Casablanca records. She is under certified by the RIAA because they didn't start multi-platinum awards until 1984. She was long gone from Casablanca by then, as were Neil and Joyce Bogart - who she worked with at the label. So there was no impetus for the label to have her re-certified. She was also award the rights to her songwriting catalog, when the courts released her from her Casablanca contract. Two of her albums are double platinum due to a format change - where any album with more than 100 minutes of music is count as two units, so on December 1, 1993 the RIAA update her. But Bad Girls had sold over 4 million by the end of 1980 and Live and More and Greatest Hits: On the Radio had both sold 3 million. But she was gone to Geffen. I remember at the of 1979 when the RIAA presented her with her awards for Bad Girls (it was designated Triple Platinum), and the singles Hot Stuff and Bad Girls were platinum (which meant 2 million or more back then), Dim All the Lights was Gold (which was 1 million). The Album was released in April, so that is 8 million records sold in 8 months. Not to mention that Bad Girls was a double album which brought 4 to 5 dollars more to the record companies depending on the market in which it was sold. All 3 of those album were double and went #1 in a 14 month period. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame named her the "Diva De Tutte Dive" - the first true diva of the modern pop era.
Most of the women of the 80's/90's had very calm, natural and pleasant-sounding voices that were also very clear and easy to understand. It makes you feel very comfortable when you hear them talk with such sexy voices (like they wanna make love to you). Personally, I just HATE the way the so-called 'social media generation' of FAILURES sound like when they talk now... They just make me CRINGE whenever I hear them speak; it really sounds like some horror-show bitches from a whole other planet!
She has Virgo rising, according to astro dot com. Her birth data listed on that site is Dec. 31, 1948, at 9 PM, in Boston, MA. Hope all is well with you, Swaf. :)
I am a die hard Donna fan but she always seemed guarded in interviews. Not sure why, even thru her illness's she never talked about it but I heard she had a very bad time during the end. There was nothing anyone could do for her. Very sad end.
DJaySplitSecond Damn! That's it! Kelly would be the ONLY woman to do her justice. She's just as beautiful and I always thought her voice was better than Beyoncé. IMO. I'm not sure if Kelly's voice is as powerful, but she could pull it off! Great point!
@@therreid Fuck Madonna. Pop Culture was in evolution and was already becoming what it is *LONG* before that overexposed white feminist came along. The groundwork was already laid, Madge merely capitalized on it what was already happening. Don't disrespect Donna, she is one of the REAL pioneers.
@@winette864 agreed, can listen to donna summer all day long, I have all of her albums in my cd collection, where as I have 2 maybe 3 albums by madonna!!!
She was so funny! She was offered a sitcom loosely based on her life in the late 80s/early 90s. When she read the script, they didn't want her real life husband to be her TV husband, but rather her boyfriend. They didn't like the idea of an interracial couple on TV. Donna turned the role down and kindly told them to go away.
Donna appeared in the movie ``Coming to America'' when Eddie and Arsenio were searching for a potential princess. I was surprised to find out later. de gozaru !!
I don't think he does. It's his home away from home. Because it's televised might be the issue for you. If he was literally at his own home, I assume you wouldn't say that.
she was do.etho g else beautiful gorgeous talented clever she had everything in lady what lucky man to say he was married to donner very funny lady on top it all its awful she not here such very special lady hug to u donner in heaven who knows might see u there one day bless u xxx
I saw a G. I've seen it all. Dope describes my rhymes, making all you emcees cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin. Scott the Prophet MCSC the California Seer
LONG after this interview, Blackish came out on ABC and was a huge hit. She was STRONGER than Whitney in beating her drug use. No sense in comparing Donna to the VOICE. Each was a MEGA DIVA in her own way. It's like comparing Chaka to Tina. What is the point?
Really, Arsenio? Did you need to go there? Does that get ratings? Not enough to keep you on, I guess. I wish you had spent that time asking intelligent music-related questions.
Donna Summer was and in our hearts will always be the greatest dance queen in the world. Her talent was great, her voice even greater, I do not think she has ever gotten the praise and the credit she really deserve. I loved her, GOD keep you in his arms for ever.
She was called the Queen of disco and won a bunch of grammy awards.
She was an angel.
@@tubester4567 She should have sung another type of music like soul, r&b, jazz, gospel, pop, thing that she did but sometimes, she had a great voice, what a pity. The Christmas cd is awesome, listen to it if you still haven't done it
Listen to Dick Clark talk about her. You can see how much he likes and respects her.
@massimosigismondi699 DISCO is technically soul and R&B
.
Her husband was a lucky man. I would marry Donna Summer in a heartbeat! Sad to know she is gone, but am glad to have grown up in her era.
Yeah man Donna was very sexy, she was one of the first black young woman sex symbols at that time, in other words she was highly desired by many men, even famous men tried to smash but it wasn't happening lol
so? what's it to you?
Yea, wasn't she a rare women! Talented but humble, her personality made her so attractive! I have to say she is my favorite female singer!
Word💯💯
you mean the husband who abused her?
Notice how a Donna doesn’t pander it feed into the old rumor Arsenio is driving at? She keeps it classy. She even throws in a lil’ bonus humor to further diffuse the situation. What a class act she was!!!!
You could literally see The Thirst in Arsenio Hall's eyes the whole time during the interview!!🤣🤣🤣
..Donna is a beautiful human..
..she is missed..
Donna saw herself as a comedian, she had a good sence of humor. You can see it in this interview
DONNA SUMMER was an amazing vocalist & so ICONIC. DONNA was an anointed singer, she could make you cry with singing or make you laugh. Donna was a true artist 🎨. RIP DONNA 😢
She was one of the BEST - she looks so pretty here in this interview!!
I always thought that Donna Summer was a beautiful woman, but she really looks glamorous and refined here at age 40.
Blurry VHS hides the wrinkles that can be seen in DVDs of this era
She was beautiful and talented. So sad she’s gone.
Donna was a beautiful women , i had a big crush on her since i was like 7 years old . she will be missed
Me too.
This woman was so beautiful 😍
I can’t believe she was 40 years old here! She looks like she’s only in her 20s. Donna never aged.
Newsflash 40 isnt old esp for ethnic women
@WestCoastCultured IF ethnic means non-white then screw off.
The Queen of Disco beauty, talented, beautiful woman her voice is super super awesome!!
I have never seen her this fun loving, relaxed and happy. It's really great to see this side of Donna.R.I.P angel.................

@@ewalker3A lot of rock and new jack swing in the charts at the time plus the following singles were more "eurodance" oriented...
I can't believe she is not here anymore...........We will miss you Donna

He had a crush on all the beautiful woman like Donna and Whitney Houston, Diana Ross etc.

Over 34 years ago now.

Donna Summer's best album is 'ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME'. I love the Stock Aitken Waterman productions.

Hmmm is up there but nothing can't top Bad Girls.
I agree...ANOTHER PLACE IN TIME is a great album start to finish.
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN OF DISCO

Very Beautiful comments that you made! I actually remember this interview when it aired live I have just told my age now. lol
Ok? You want a medal to telling your age? I was a grown man when Bad Girls was out. What's the big deal?
I think actress Tyra Ferrell (Boyz N the Hood, Poetic Justice) resembles Donna Summer.
I agree
yass

Glad she had happiness. She earned it!

Good and nice interview!

Girl..... No. We didn't haven't cds then, we had cassettes
Not really tbh, CDs didn't hit the market until the EARLY 90s.
Really, Arsenio? Did you need to go there? Does that get ratings? Not enough to keep you on, I guess. I wish you had spent that time asking intelligent music-related questions.

@leftatalbuquerque same with Kylie too
Donna Summer was incredible but Arsenio Hall was a huge mistake and no one ever should have hired him
People actually thought that she was a *man*???
The outfit that Arsenio Hall is wearing looks horrible.
Ok i don't mean to be a dick but tell me she doesn't look like she could be GZAs sister.
Donna summer was an incredible vocalist much better than the much hyped and over rated whitney Houston.
They were both great. Leave it at that. Donna was fantabulous and so was Whitney.
@@wanaraz thank you.
