A Song For You - Donna Summer ( Live )

A Song For You (How Great Thou Art) - Donna Summer ( Live ) 'A Song For You', originally written and performed by Leon Russell, became a signature song of the late great Donny Hathaway. The song has been covered by many outstanding artists including Ray Charles, The Temptations, and most recently Whitney Houston on her new CD. Here, Donna Summer blends this song along with the gospel classic, 'How Great Thou Art', reminiscent one of her great idols Mahalia Jackson.

Donna and her family were my neighbors and friends at 16 Parker Hill Ave. in Mission Hill. A sign was erected at the corner of Parker Hill Ave and Huntington Ave by the city of Boston which reads "DONNA SUMMER AVENUE". The memories will last forever. R.I.P. Disco Queen.

I love it when she sings like this. What a voice!

[@stevenk79]

We just lost Whitney Houston R.I.P. as I am hearing this amazing vocal perfomance by Donna Summer for the first time.Many are "now" saying that Whitney Houston was the" best" female vocalist of all time.If that's true, then where does that leave this great lady of song and so many other female artists that can sure nuff "SING'?

[@mateomelendez3733]

There is NO reataest female singer! Certainly, there have been exceptional singers. Whitney was definitely in that group along with Ms. Donna and Ms. Patti who just gave high praise Donna Summer. It just comes down to one's preference!

[@donnalovesJesus1]

Donna was one of the most anointed Gospel Singers ever. her gospel and christian music will continue to bring people to God With us. Her Christian fans miss her. She had altar calls at many of her concerts and a Bible Study. We celebrate her Home.ty.

[@Suecasehall]

Beautiful! And high praise from Patti Labelle, indeed. My pastor (Bishop E.E. Cleveland) used to always close out his Sunday morning sermons with 'How Great Thou Art'. This brought back memories of a blessed childhood. Donna can truly sing anything well. Bravissima!!!!

[@npo64]

NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE can sing as beautiful as her. What vocals. This was really an example of Donna's true singing abilities. Perfect control of a beautiful voice. Great song. Thanks for posting. We really miss her. RIP beautiful lady!

[@Deandip12]

My thoughts and prayers go out to Donna's family and close friends right now. God Bless you all, and I hope there is some small comfort in knowing that I loved your mother's music. It really was the soundtrack to my life. She taught me how to sing. I will miss her very much, but I will never stop listening to her beautiful voice.

[@MAKELIFE4EVERCHANGE]

[@carolynntubman1461]

Donna has always been my favorite artist of all time but stages of my life back in the day I wasn't listening now that's I back into Christ my ears and eyes are open and my ears and eyes are open and I see what the enemy tried

[@peccori1]

I love Donny's and Donna's both. They are just special for me. Though the lyrics are written by in English, I can understand and feel these words. This song is just special and wonderful.

[@DeborahBarnes-cl6il]

I absolutely LOVED Donna Summer, but the winner of singing this song is Cher!

[@giovannipoggi8374]

[@jubbadupa]

Who are they ?? Today's generation ? Cause my generation knows that Houston never sang like Donna... not a day in her life !!

[@johnlyndontuason5925]

Could not find her song of -Power of One, theme from pokemon. More gospel songs pls. It's different when the person singing is a born again christian. God bless you all!

[@SWSimpson]

Donna was ALWAYS a Christian. She renewed her faith in the very late 70's early 80. Example: she sang THIS song on tour BEFORE the RENEWAL and it was a sweaty, Janice Joplin type ROCK performance. Donna's faith is part of her upbringing and she simply renewed her faith in Christ and turned to God for answers instead of astrology. She set her house in order, in other words. But she has been a Christian since childhood.

I always liked Donna Summer's singing (and feel) a lot but . . . to me . . . the definitive version of this Leon Russell classic belongs to Jaye P. Morgan.

[@sibbyo]

Plesae not now have some respect. She was a great lady just like Whitney.

[@SuperOskin]

great song, great Donna, great video. however, whitney houstons version on whh 1991 is the best, doutbless. listen to it and you'll see.

[@vinobody]

if u like this song check Christina Aguilera's rendition with Herbie Hanckok on piano...

[@MagnusMG1]

and Donny Hathaway's classic recording from the 70s.

Non ho mai trovato una benche'minima imperfezione nel suo modo di cantare...qualsiasi genere musicale le era congeniale...questo per me e'sbalorditivo.....

[@giovannipoggi8374]

Ho ascoltato la versione di withney houston...e behonce'....per me Donna e'piu' brava.....

[@GerardoVega-no3qb]

I cannot express in human language what her voice does to me, so I'll just blur it out like this: av[iuh[uaduUvnadnodvnaoaofna]odna]oidna]idno]aindo]idfn]aoidbrgv]HUFUAHG]AGB]AIAN]GN]G\A\]AGAA\A..... Sorry, my soul gets carried away...

[@summerholliday44]

Real Music?? Sounds like sour grapes Patti

[@rosbergs3]

Did the Christian community ever fully accept her?
