AMAZING!| FIRST TIME HEARING Donna Summer - Last Dance REACTION

[@G-grandma_Army]

The literally was THE LAST SONG to play in most nightclubs “in the day”! Donna is a true icon. I would say her and he Bee Gees are THE Icons for Disco❤️

[@KTRS]

YES it was!! 🕺🏻💃🏻

[@kokostevens1071]

Yes it was. Wow, I kinda forgot that.

[@Latnman101]

I remember it, Studio One was a hot spot in LA

[@VikingJeff]

Yeah, this song almost makes me sad when it starts because of that.

[@colibri1]

Yep, when this was a top hit in 1978-79, it was always the last song played at our school dances, too.

[@DBat-sp1tp]

I cried when I heard of her passing. Donna Summers was the music of my childhood. I sang along with all her songs and drove my parents crazy.

[@MetFan37]

It's Donna SUMMER. One Summer.

[@Peggi109]

Queen of Disco!! Love her music!!

[@sweetwilly]

Not just the Queen of Disco. One of the voices of a generation.

[@arciefan]

Queen of disco, and so much more!

[@JMHughes573]

Donna Summer had a voice that was a gift from God.

[@charleskandrut7022]

Her and Barry Gibb were the voices of disco!

[@clydeb7713]

Donna DEFINED the Disco era! EVERY person who grew up during this period knows how AMAZING she was!!

[@DBat-sp1tp]

She was everything

[@willynilly2545]

How could you not expect the beat to drop? She’s he queen of disco!! 🕺🏽

[@chrisostneberg1817]

I know right lol

[@isacf2598]

All songs for her I love...but that is my favorite ❤

[@shelzieschulz2979]

This woman has the most beautiful voice in the world ❤️ I could listen to her music all day long.

[@BillGraper]

The undisputed QUEEN of disco!!! This is one rabbit hole worth exploring! Here are more bangers: Heaven Knows, I Feel Love, Hot Stuff, Bad Girls, On The Radio, She Works Hard For The Money...

[@461vageta]

Dim All The Lights

[@brockbaby]

Seconding what Bill says. I Feel Lover particularly was a landmark in music. The first all synthesized song. And it went to #2 in 1977, which for the time was insane!!!!

[@BillGraper]

@@brockbaby The stereo separation alone is amazing!!! That song was way ahead of its time!

[@garydufur5765]

I danced to them all. Great times .

[@kelliedee]

Macarthur Park is another great one, especially the long version.

[@stephaniesasso1560]

This was the song they played back in the day 80s at the club love Donna Summer too

[@gypsyrocker]

On The Radio is another one that rocks, but you should do a live version, you need to understand how gorgeous this woman was, absolutely gorgeous.

[@kbusby4824]

So true.

[@Sisallaboutthelove]

The theme song of a fantastic movie, "Foxes".

[@jrr1814]

They heard both this song and on the radio during the Selena disco medley

[@lorizrhythm8171]

She is called the Queen Of Disco!

[@teerat8451]

Donna Summer had an amazing and easily identifiable voice. You could never mistake her

[@JimmieJamOfTheDay]

Sometimes, one can mistake her because she could fool you. The Wanderer, Nightlife, and Eyes are song examples of this. Normally, when she sings in her usual belting voice, that's when she's most identifiable. Last Dance, Hot Stuff and She Works Hard For The Money are some examples of this.

[@jamielandis4308]

“MacArthur’s Park” is the song that is her definitive work. She hits some of the highest notes in music history. You need this song in your life as it can elicit tears of appreciation.

[@whirledpeaz5758]

Yes, This Please!

[@angier5775]

Agree!!

[@JohnJames_Wpg]

McArthur Park is a staple for every over the top drag queen performance!

[@kentmains7763]

Amen!

[@1tommymulligan]

Great song and also On The Radio

[@dorisdayfan1]

I believe that “Last Dance” won an Oscar

[@Ncxgroup]

This was the closing song in every Disco in the 70s.

[@CB-kj6xw]

I don't think there are many people who can put so much emotion in their voices. And she makes it sound so easy. And she has to have 3 lungs.

[@ambersometimes2841]

Donna Summer was the dreamiest of the Disco Divas 💕

[@cjdamnit]

True 70's Disco...!!! I was too young to get into any nightclubs but loved the music...!!!

[@kellymorris8064]

This song started a trend for Donna and in Disco.. a slow luscious intro..then the beat drops and the fun begins!! There is a 7 minute version of this song as well!! PLEASE check out MacArthur Park - the 6 minute album version, Dim all the Lights, On The Radio, and Enough is Enough!!

[@brockbaby]

Yep, the slow intro became a trademark of DISCO. 100% True.

[@461vageta]

@@brockbaby of Donna

[@raymondbarry4196]

MacArthur Park is absolutely amazing

[@davedave8602]

Yes, this song did start a trend. My favorite slow intro/upbeat disco song beyond Donna Summer is "Come To Me" by France Joli.

[@AZambri1]

The first time they heard Donna was Enough is Enough. December 31 of last year. Great reaction!

[@rachelkristine4669]

Donna Summer was the QUEEN of disco! And an absolutely gorgeous Lady, too! 🥰

[@grecofit]

"Soft & gentle" + "Power" = Last Dance 🔥 So glad you found this one. Iconic.

[@thisandthat418]

She sounded exactly the same live too, fantastic voice,!

[@morningcoffeebreak7367]

"MacArthur Park"...my favorite donna summers song.

[@ZebraDazzle66]

Before Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston was Donna Summer’s powerhouse voice. Her ability to effortlessly hold a note with such strength behind it was incredible. It is hard to believe that she suffered from crippling stage fright. You never would have known by her amazing performances. Two of my favorite songs of hers are On The Radio and Heaven Knows.

[@sharoninglima1217]

Donna was the Queen of the disco era. She could really see anything. I saw her in concert in the 90’s in NY.

[@endoraismygma]

Loved her. Just an incredible artist and lady. RIP Queen 🙏

[@jamesferrell336]

Donna is up there with the very best singers of all time. She was just amazing.

[@djjoeymay]

"Last Dance" by Donna Summer is the only disco song to ever win the Oscar for Best Original Song - 1978, from the disco movie "Thank God It's Friday", starring Jeff Goldblum & Debra Winger.

[@michellebarry1555]

It’s classic (but cheesy), the best kind 🤣

[@geraldhostettler4527]

We can thank the late great Paul Jabara for writing this gem.

[@johns7199]

Also Terri Nunn from Berlin makes a cameo!!!!

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Thank you for the info. I had no idea. Donna..well deserved it.

[@dan74695]

The version in this video is an edit of this version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXSne62HhJxpfK8. It's missing the awesome bridge...

[@jamesgonzales5285]

The Queen of Disco, indeed. But also of the Pop, Soul, and R&B, of the time!!! I was blessed to have seen Donna Summers presence unfold, as it happened. She brought Magic 🎩 ✨️!!

[@tafkap01]

No autotune here...What you hear from her on record is what you heard from her live. This woman could absolutely blow!!! Also, I'm surprised you guys have not reacted to Bad Girls yet. My absolute favorite by her.

[@MetFan37]

Donna was the Queen of the One-Takes.

[@richardvincelette9741]

I’m a metal head and think Donna Summer has one of the best soulful voices of all time and deserves the recognition that has passed her by. 👍🏼❤️❤️❤️

[@VallaMusic]

Donna Summers ruled the world with this song

[@MetFan37]

It's Donna SUMMER. One Summer.

[@bradsullivan2495]

"Love to Love You Baby" is her most notorious song--especially the long 17-minute version. It's a song that got her noticed, but she went on to put out hit after hit in the late 70's.

[@paulwagner688]

I got to hear it when I was a kid listening to the top 40 station in Chicago. It did things to me.

[@marijolamb5459]

Can just imagine Jordan blushing at love to love you

[@theodoreritola7641]

70s Donna Summer is by far the best NOT EVEN CLOSE

[@derekgiesbrecht1554]

her voice is just mazing, going up three octaves in one note, holding them all

[@glenjohnson9302]

She has a great voice.

[@davidphillips4476]

Queen!!! All ways played at closing time yep! The long version the note she carries is forever!! "On the Radio", and yes she was HUGE!

[@teri7398]

My first school dance, 8th grade...this was played for the last dance. She was a powerhouse.

[@maryavila5601]

She had a fabulous voice

[@richardhenderson9767]

Love Donna Summer!!! RIP..😪😪❤❤ Try "Bad Girls", by Donna Summer.😀❤

[@josephvalenzuela311]

Richard Henderson The inspiration for Summer to write the song came after one of her assistants was offended by a police officer who thought she was a street prostitute. Too funny. Wiki about the song.

[@dansomman1896]

She is the queen of disco for a reason she even sang a disco rendition of natural woman and owned it!!!!

[@patriciasloan5122]

Just totally amazing with that beautiful God given talent. One of the best!

[@cinemeleon2808]

Donna has 3 daughters. The youngest, Amanda Sudano Ramirez (pure and angelic voice, just like her mom), sings with her husband Abner Ramirez and they go by the name JOHNNYSWIM. A few years ago, when their oldest son Joaquin was still a toddler, they showed in an instagram video where they were playing this song and immediately upon hearing that beautifully silky voice over synth and strings, Joaquin (dancing around in the living room) stops in his tracks and with excitement, in his squeaking little voice, said 'Gamma?!' Oh! My heart! It melted. He never got to meet his grandmother, but he knew her through her music. I thought that to be a beautiful connection his mother and father helped to give him that will be as timeless as the song itself. That one moment has stayed with me since and now every time I hear this intro, I remember it.

[@emmettervin]

Underrated singer. ❤️

[@tyvanhworkout]

Donna Summer was the biggest female artist of the late 1970's and probably the only artist to have 3 double albums to hit number 1 back-to-back-to-back. She also replaced herself at number one on the Billboard singles chart, replacing "Hot Stuff" with "Bad Girls" in 1979. Although she was a huge star, her incredible voice has been highly under-rated and she doesn't get the same kind of props as a Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey. Great reaction!

[@williamcalderon9158]

Yes yes yes you finally done it I love it great reaction guys to my favorite female artist of all time. I believe Donna Summer is terribly underrated and in my opinion she’s up there with the best ever thank you guys for reacting to this especially last dance!

[@nancymunroe3672]

"She Works Hard For the Money" GREAT SONG.

[@gxl5892]

We did a cool Pom Pom routine to Dim all the Lights with flashlights back in the 70s.

[@theodoreritola7641]

[@leahsunbury9639]

Saturday afternoons with my mom right here... When I was a kid Saturday afternoon was for deep cleaning the house. She would put a bunch of disco albums on the record player and we would dance, sing, and clean. This was one of our favorites!! 💕💕

For a few moments, I was transported back to 1978 and a better time. Such an inspirational song by an amazing artist. Thanks, Rob Squad.

[@erinb.5103]

Donna Summer’s voice can stop time! Beautiful

[@craigrik2699]

At our blue light disco in my hometown back in 1978, every Friday evening, the final song of the night was always this … brings back fond memories

[@461vageta]

She sang this in the Movie "Thank God It's Friday", which she was a young singer trying to get a break and have them play her music in the clubs. She busted out on stage and started singing "Last Dance" and the rest is history. The song won an Academy Award for Best Song in a Movie. Do "Dim All the Lights", longest note held by a female artist to hit Top 10 (#2) 1979 (I was 20 OMG, LOL), it's at the beginning of the song. It's tied with "All Out of Love" by Air Supply, 16 seconds.

[@FranklySpeaking.]

*LOVE the movie since i was a kid! have a copy on my pc...classic with soo many 'before-they-were-famous' actors in the cast!*

One of the most underrated singers ever… always put into the “disco diva” genre…. But she had a voice! A voice, watch some of her real live recordings… brilliant! And to be fair, always loved finishing a club night with song!!! Cheers kids

[@RFWieder]

One of the top disco songs was "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. But I'm sure even if you never reacted to it you do know it!! My favorite Donna Summers song is "On the Radio" it's not only a great sound but it tells a story!!

[@TheDivayenta]

Yes! And the other iconic one is “ You Make Me Feel Mighty Real” by trans disco icon- Sylvester.

[@scottvanhille5688]

Donna is queen! This was performed years later on the show "Family Matters" when she played Aunt Oona from Altoona. I highly suggest her song that David Bowie said was his favorite "I Feel Love" and please do Talk Talk--Talk Talk. Thanks!

[@tedcole9936]

She gives you both on this one… soft and upbeat

[@JimmieJamOfTheDay]

That's my all time favorite singer: male or female. Very versatile. Not just the Queen Of Disco. She won four Grammy in four different genres.

[@GuillermoQuezada]

Donna Summers - "I Feel Love" is consider as the 1st EDM song in the world. This song was about 10 years ahead of it's time. You must react to this version kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ6QeoaXqbF3fZI

Seeing you close your eyes and really "get it" in terms of the incredible music/talent of the 70s!! It's just a beautiful thing. Most of us folks from that era know how incredibly lucky we are to have grown up during probably the most influential decade in music - but to know that today's generation is discovering that same awareness - priceless. Enjoy the journey - it's magic!!

Had the privilege of seeing Donna Summer in concert “back in the day”. This was supposed to be her finale, but then she came back and sang MacArthurPark as an encore! Absolutely amazing!

[@MrGpschmidt]

You nailed it. Pure. I'd say a pure sensuality to her voice. A powerhouse and yes in the '70s this was a staple for the dance floor and the rolller rinks. Amazing woman. Love her - grew up w/her in my house as a kid so yes takes me back and again I mentioned once before was lucky enough to see her in a summer concert. Miss her.

[@lorizrhythm8171]

Oh man, I wish you reacted to the video of her singing this from the movie she did this in called "Thank God It's Friday". It's a 1978 Musical/Comedy and is FANTASTIC!!!! I cannot even explain the feeling and memories I get when listening to this song, and all of her songs actually. Also, there is a longer version of this song. Donna had the most beautiful voice and was stunning and we lost her too young. But she left a great legacy of the most fantastic music. Can you tell I am a HUGE fan?!!

[@samkuhn1010]

Donna Summer is one of my all time favorite singers. She takes me back to the late 70s, reminding me of my middle school years. Her voice was so powerful yet pure. She had so many great songs and was certainly the Queen of Disco. She did a VH1 concert in 1999 which showcases many of her hits. She also did a couple of concerts in the Netherlands in the mid/late 2000s called Night of the Proms which also had tremendous versions of some of her hits. Donna’s voice control was as good as it’s gets and her music never gets old. I’m looking forward to more reviews of Donna Summer music here. Thanks for this review!

Thank you for the great reaction! I saw Donna sing Last Dance live in 1978 and again in 2011 and she hit and sustained every single note. Listen to Donna at 4:20 go from head voice to chest voice and into sustained falsetto. AMAZING!!! Donna's range never changed, a rare creature, the greatest singer ever, her talent was off the charts among female singers. Besides her amazing vocal talent, she is the only artist to have won Grammy awards in four different music categories, Rock, dance, R&B and Gospel. Donna could sing any song anywhere anytime acapella. Her beauty, her grace, her talent, her confidence all rolled into one package in one very classy lady.

[@sergiosalas1596]

Thank you for your wonderful reaction. Last Dance (from the 1978 film Thank God It's Friday which featured Donna) was not only a commercial success but also received critical acclaim winning the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Original Song from a motion picture and a Grammy for Best Rhythm & Blues Female Vocal for Donna. Donna was the undisputed queen of disco and a truly gifted vocalist with a solid theater background who could sing any genre. She had great vocal control which is why she could pull off singing sexy, sultry anthems using her falsetto or rock-flavored bangers with her sweet yet powerful voice. She remains one of the best-selling female artists in pop music history. By the way, it's Donna SUMMER which is an anglicized version of her Austrian husband's surname. People always mistake her surname for Summers because during her prime, there were two other popular women with the same surname but spelled differently. One was Suzanne SOMERS (Chrissy Snow in Three's Company) and the other was Jaime SOMMERS (The Bionic Woman played by Lindsay Wagner).

Music has played a huge role in my life. I have yet to find a medication that eases my pains the way music with memories do. I was a welder for the same company for 30 years before I retired. We were allowed to have mp3 players to listen to as we worked. That is what got me through every hot summer and cold winters. 70-80's music was 80% of the music that was on my iPod.
