      Beautifully said, Jesse. Donna was such a special and unique artist; it’s always seemed unfair she’s not remembered more for those talents than she is as the Queen of Disco (which she is, but that’s another story). I remember watching this, too. Totally enthralled in early 1980 at the age of 9. 😉

    I was lucky enough to have been sitting in the box seats at the Hollywood Bowl where this concert was filmed. I snuck in a cassette tape recorder and taped the whole thing. Unfortunately, years later my tape got ruined. There was another original song she sang to open the show which she never recorded or ever sung again. It was called "Tonight". The chorus was "Tonight, tonight, won't be like any other night". It was a great dance song. I was also in the audience at the Universal Amphitheater the night she recorded her "Live and More" album. Nothing like seeing her live. I don't know why she didn't take credit in this concert for writing "Starting Over Again". Dolly Parton made a big hit of it. I saw her perform many times, and she designed her own costumes for many shows.

    I grew up listening to this woman. I hate to say this but, they said she was a man. I was 14 or 15 years old. I never thought a man could sing like that. Then, Irene Cara comes a long and she sounds a little like DONNA. This woman could sing the map of the United States. There were a lot of singers, like Minnie, Denise, Natalie and more who beautiful voices but not as powerful as hers. Minnie Ripperton was in a class by herself. Just like Donna Summer. God rest your soul. I got out of the military in 1980 and I never saw this. This is so amazing...!

    • @LifelessonsIlearned
      @LifelessonsIlearned 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @richiguy, actually that stigma was towards the end of the Era when the media associated “Disco” with being homosexual or having a promiscuous lifestyle or as you stated “bad” prior to that the Disco Era was fun, exciting & like no other! “Sylvester” was a Disco singer that was transgender & I believe because he was not hiding his sexuality during the time when it was hush hush, his music was a reflection of him, he hit his high soprano & deep baritone notes like no other! I think he contributed to the association being a gay Disco Artist with # 1hits & a frequent at Studio 54 in NYC which was also known for both Disco & homosexuality.

    I remember seeing this as a 10 year old kid at home on channel 7 abc in NYC. I was glued to the television and watched this special. My older brother was a DJ who threw great parties, and Disco was the great music of that era, and Donna Summer was as huge as Madonna and Beyonce is today. The only thing Donna Summer was a fabulous singer and songwriter. She didn't need a big stage with dancers and prop changes, just a microphone and her and her band. Her voice alone was perfection, and back then, many artists recorded with orchestras. That's why we heard all the beautiful string arrangements in those great songs. Two of my favorite Donna Summer songs are two that really weren't played on the radio they were called, "Now I Need You" & "Working the Midnight Shift" from the Once Upon a Time album. Those two songs are just absolutely amazing. When we lost Donna Summer we lost a national treasure. Rest well, Miss Summer. I hope when I get to heaven you can great me with song. God bless your soul, Queen. ❤

    ありがとうドナサマー 貴女は抜群の歌唱力で私に夢を与えてくれました。真面目な歌から、色っぽい歌まで変幻自在でしたね。NHKホールのスタンドマイクに頭をゴチンとぶつけて「オー ソーリィ」と照れ笑いしたのが忘れられません。またお会いしたいです。

    The guy in the black cowboy hat in "Last Dance" looked so starstruck when he saw Donna Summer he couldn't even dance. He sure must have fond memories, especially she is no longer with us.

      that is what gospel, musical theatre and operatic training does for you. in the years before she passed, her voice was completely intact. that is /was nearly unique.
