DONNA SUMMER - HOT STUFF (1979) | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@westhoboken8167]

Hot Stuff won Donna a Grammy in the Rock category because its a rock and roll party song not a disco song.

[@gxl5892]

Donna Summer won a Grammy for Best Rock Vocal in 1979 with Hot Stuff, she was also nominated in 1981 as Best Rock Vocalist (Female) for Cold Love and again in 1982 for Protection. Donna is the only artist to win awards in 4 different genres: R&B, rock, dance and gospel. She was nominated in 5 different genres: pop, R&B, rock, dance and gospel. As much as she was a Disco Queen she proved she could sing anything.

[@jimmydaves]

Donna Summer was also nominated for "Best Pop Female" for "McArthur Park" but lost to Anne Murray for "You needed Me". I think Donna got robbed for that. I mean who could match Donna's vocals on "McArthur Park"?

[@mickdenis6630]

Pop Music's First Female Mega Star she dominated the Billboard Charts at the end of the 70's, selling millions worldwide and pushing the boundaries by crossing into multiple genres. The first female artist and black artist to have 3 albums #1 albums back to back on Pop Charts. The first female artist to repeat having the #1 single and #1 album simultaneously on the Pop charts (3 times in 8 months), the first solo artist to have 2 songs in the top 3 (twice in 4 months), and the first to have 2 #1 songs in the top 5 and the top 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The first solo artist to have 3 #1 singles and 5 top 10s and/or 5 top 5 singles in a calendar year (79). The most commercially successful female artist of the 70s, she was a top 10 artist on the World Pop Charts for 4 consecutive year 76-79. One of the greatest voices of our time, she is the only artist to be nominated for a Grammy Award in 5 different genres (at least 3 times each), and the only artist to win a Grammy in 4 different genres (R & B, Rock, Gospel, Dance). The first black female artist to be placed in heavy rotation on MTV (SWHFTM - Aug 83). Name the "Diva De Tuttie Dive" by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, meaning the first true diva of the modern pop era. Lenny Kravtiz and Mary J Blige call her a game changer. If you want to reacted to her singing live do Last Dance there are several live performances the American Music Awards, Oscars etc...

[@morgantyler6767]

The guitar solo was done by: Jeffrey Allen "Skunk" Baxter (born December 13, 1948) is an American guitarist, known for his stints in the rock bands Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers during the 1970s and Spirit in the 1980s. In 1972, he became a founding member of the band Steely Dan.

[@brandothecatmeow]

RIP Donna Summer. Fantastic singer and underrated for sure. Diva to the enth degree.

[@bryanqfan]

Queen of disco, I feel love, bad girls,McArthur Park, could it be magic, On the Radio, so many great songs

[@AAndromeda-lw7fh]

… WITHOUT Donna there would be NO Madonna and whatever their names are!! DONNA was and is the queen of all beginnings of today's music! … She was the ancestor of all singers who came after her!! ... I first saw Donna on January 10, 1976 in the "Star Parade" when she sang the song "Love to love you Baby"! It was wonderful!!! ...THEN Donna's world career began!! ... A strong melancholy comes up with me again and again that she is no longer there!! ✨💎✨ 🕯

[@wendyt7958]

You should see her live performance of MacArthur Park...talk about wow!

[@TheFerrer13]

The Queen of Disco 👑💿

[@surlechapeau]

Bro's, you'll love her ""Love to Love You Baby", "She Works Hard For The Money" and "Last Dance"!! She's the Queen Of Disco, great voice too!

[@evanhughes1510]

There’s no apostrophe in bros

[@booth2710]

Last Dance - my second favorite ever disco song !

[@debscat7155]

1979 I was out on the dance floor getting it down with Donna Summer! I loved the 70's, LOL now I am almost 70. Still kickin' it.

[@soultraln2813]

"Hot Stuff" won Summer the Grammy Award for 'Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female' in 1980. Guitar solo by Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, known for his work with Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers. Here's a great live performance of the song from 1979: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oInOfa2wraiKq9k

[@romerjusu3804]

And the long version has a saxophone solo by a man from the E Street Band. Bruce Springsteen ❤

[@kjellbornesater766]

I wish you could go back to the great 70's and dance to these tunes again and feel like the night was forever

[@jzander2966]

Donna was so popular at this time that she had 3 songs in the top 5 of the Billboard 100 chart at the same time...'Hot Stuff' #1, 'Bad Girls' #2, and 'Dim All the Lights" at #5!

[@Alicia-f3m7m]

i think ’heaven knows“ was also a hit, maybe at #3? I cannot remember

[@lamusiclover2264]

Donna Summer had one of the best voices of the last 50 years. She could sing ANYTHING from pop to rock to new wave to country and Opera, and recorded all of it. She was amazing and one of the biggest selling female singers of the 70's and 80's and toured and recorded until she died in 2012. The guitar solo was played by Jeff Baxter of the Doobie Brothers. It's been in many movies and commercials since she passed away especially. There is video of her performing live on KZbin. As far as how many views it has, since we can't see what video you are watching, I can't comment, but this song is posted many times, with some views in the millions. Just depends on the clip you choose.

[@thomasgalloway7768]

You guys are a lot of fun to watch ,

[@KBJ58]

The guitarist was Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter from Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers. He went on to be a missile defence analyst for the Pentagon.

[@Mr17051963]

Disco nights!!!! Guys, how I miss them!!!!! 💃🕺

[@08shunter]

Me Too

[@julieanna8495]

Me too. Those were the days. Just people out dancing and having a fun time-not really drugs going on at that time. Thank goodness.

[@ryanbartram7122]

@@julieanna8495yeah definitely no drugs in the 80s and 90s, not like most of them peeked in distribution and use around these times

[@sparklebaby22]

Donna was always underrated so thank you for reviewing her song 💃🎶

[@TheRealRHS]

wdym, she is a world renowed disco queen and her work is celebrated everywhere with tons of hits. how is she underated??

[@WilAdams]

I remember back when we were going to discos, it was a highlight when in the middle of one of our favorite songs, the DJ would spin in a new Donna Summer song. Pure Heaven.

[@jimmydaves]

"Hot Stuff" was #1 for 4 weeks followed by "Bad Girls" at #1 for 5 weeks. "Hot Stuff" was the #8 song for 1979 and "Bad Girls" was the #2 song for 1979.

[@ronjm945]

R.I.P. Donna Summer.. Queen of Disco… check out Love to Love you Baby and I Feel Love which are early hits which she worked with Giorgio Moroder a great place to start…

[@annemaclean6634]

Guys, I always remember this song from a British film called The Full Monty (1997) when the guys were standing in a queue at the job centre, the song came on and they started moving to it - the scene is only about a minute and a half long but it's so funny and one of the classic scenes in the film - here is the clip - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lai8dJxsiraAn9k. Hot Stuff is a great song, I had the single and it's fantastic to dance to, of course. Another great Donna Summer song from 1977 is I Feel Love, we all adored it! Thanks so much for your reaction guys, really enjoyed it, take care now and keep safe. 😊😊

[@eclecticwitch6669]

That was so fun!

[@nancyfranchetto938]

That movie is hilarious.!😂

[@ccrocker5284]

Right?!

[@anthonyblakely399]

Patrick got the voice and George got the moves!!! lol.....This song was "Hot Stuff" when it came out in the 70's!!!!

[@lavender_granny]

disco was the greatest and Donna Summer was the queen. Long may she reign.

[@carollittle1059]

Queen of Disco, she had a set oh pipes on her. RIP

[@sheilathailand1903]

The disco queen!! So many great songs!

[@ritaillinois7951]

Donna Summer was in a league of her own ❤️🦋🎶

[@Katy_r]

Iconic sound! So recognizable and familiar. Immediate good vibes! You are so right about the disco/rock fusion in this song. Her voice definitely has a rock edge as well - so great.🔥 Thanks guys!!

[@jgg59]

She won best female rock vocalist for this

[@wm8498]

Thanks for bringing Donna to your channel guys! Yay! She really was a force to be reckoned with in the 70's and 80's. She was so much more than just Disco though... such a talented singer and all around artist with an excellent voice. There is plenty of concert footage of her singing this song and many of her others. Please do more Donna! Check out MacArthur Park, On the Radio, Dim All the Lights, Bad Girls, She Works Hard for the Money, Last Dance and so many more. Thanks again! :)

[@AAndromeda-lw7fh]

… Donna is definitely one of the 5 best singers in the world! ... The voice 🔥 is phänomenal and unique!! …For me personally, Donna and Angelina Jordan are the best ✨💎✨ … next song maybe “Bad Girls“? Thank you

[@Straydogger]

Donna was definitely some "hot stuff"! Hearing Donna on the radio or with headphones is a whole different thing. There are videos of her doing these songs live.

[@floydshambles]

guitar solo jeff "skunk" baxter, who played with steely dan and doobie brothers

[@Jules-um4yy]

This is such a great disco classic guys! Donna Summer had sooo many hits. "Last Dance" is another good one. Love this tune - we still dance to it in Zumba classes💃Your reaction was fun to watch - between George's chair moves and Patrick's singing, I had a smile on my face the entire time☺ Love it!💖

[@randyinman7897]

Hot Stuff besides being in the top 10, for the 1979 year end countdown. It also spent the most weeks in the top 10, for the entire year. Donna Summer also had 3 songs in the top 12, in the same year end countdown.

[@tvdroid22]

They called her the Queen of Disco, but her talent went much further than that. Great to see her music is still featured, this song was in The Martian not that long ago.

[@mjwaldrep]

Older folks are still bitter that Disco shared the top 40 with rock in the 70's. Many of them considered Disco bubblegum, throwaway music, but I think a lot of it still holds up as being quality music.

[@ginap5148]

One of my favorite singers!!!!

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!. I've been a MASSIVE Donna Summer fan since age 4.

[@kev7161]

I think you guys might enjoy Donna Summer dueting with Barbra Streisand - - Enough is Enough (No More Tears). The song really showcases Summer's great voice (along with Streisand of course).

[@crystalvision1111]

Oh yes they really should do that next!!! Really showcases both of their voices!

[@RicoBurghFan]

In addition to the other songs mentioned, my favorite by her has always been Macarthur Park. A true banging dance song. Check it out!

[@domn1c]

Great reaction gentlemen! This song was the jam when I was a young teenager. I never paid attention to the guitar riffs before so thanks for pointing them out. Yes, disco was a fun era to grow up to.

[@joemachine4714]

"Love Is In Control" is another banger by Donna Summer 💃 🕺

[@jgg59]

Hot Stuff was the first release off of the Bad Girls album. The record company release this single to rock ‘n’ roll stations across the United States under an alias it was not considered disco. She experimented on the Bad Girls album with all different types of music. She actually won the Grammy for best female rock vocalist for a Hot Stuff.

[@sherinelson2890]

Donna Summer was awesome!!!

[@ryanje8147]

George is a very good chair dancer.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Sister disco is in the club. Yep danced my butt off and YES excellent party mix song.

[@luciacmartins3989]

I was 9 years old. And loved it 🙂. Disco Sound Queen

[@CCDzine]

Donna could sing but Giorgio Moroeder should get most of the credit for her songs and her success.

[@bryanCJC2105]

The great and one-and-only Donna Summer, the Queen of Disco! She dominated the music scene in the late 70s. Her music can be heard in almost any movie scene set in a club of the late 70s. Her song "I Feel Love" (1977) was ground breaking and influenced music for decades into the current Electronica scene. There are a whole bunch of Donna Summer songs worth exploring. "Last Dance", "I Love You", "Bad Girls", "MacArthur Park", "No More Tears" (duet w Barbra Streisand), "Sunset People", are among some of her hits.

[@JimmieJamOfTheDay]

My favorite singer of them all. Her documentary will be on HBO and HBO Max in May.

[@jdhlsc169]

One of my favorite Disco songs I danced to. Love it...still! Annnddd still know the lyrics. :)

[@Gloren50]

Check out Donna Summer's live performance of Last Dance at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies/concert with full orchestra, December 11, 2009. It knocked my socks off!

[@CassieM-em5bj]

Definitely fun 70's dance club music. Disco never died!

[@Mr17051963]

You, guys, need to know what a slow dance could do in a club, in the old 70’s nights, too. Try to listen Major Harris’ Love Won’t Let Me Wait (studio version). Boy, oh boy!!!! So many different emotions on those dancefloors!!! 😉💫✌️

[@ruuddhont2098]

Queen of the disco...I was a big fan back in the days....she has manny good songs

[@ccrocker5284]

I remember having to learn the Bus Stop, the Hustle..all the disco dances in our PE classes in Jr High and she and the BeeGees we danced to!!!🤣

[@jimmypadgett1106]

Rite in the middle of disco. Donna was great she helped spur on the disco rage

[@TheoriginalMach2000]

Abba was Donna Summer style. It all started with Donna. The vocal chameleon of pop music. There's a new house track out called hooked (hot stuff) . Just released and hommage to hot stuff

[@RK-gg4dd]

Donna Summer’s daughter and son-in-law are the famous musical duo called JohnnySwim.

[@tellsingandplay]

In 1979, I was 15 and Donna Summer was as popular as ever, she could do no wrong by then. But when I was 13-14, I heard her older stuff that was highly erotic for a boy my age; “Love to Love You” kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaWTi4h5dq5ppsU and “I Feel Love” kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4vUoqmojKimabM were two of her best but she does have a nice catalog to choose from. By far, her greatest song was, “Last Dance”. TRUST me, for 25-30 years, this was ALWAYS the last song at parties, weddings, etc. You MUST react to more Donna Summer kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGOVipWFh993epI Donna Summer was a beautiful, sensual, sexy woman with an awesome voice. May she rest in peace. Unfortunately, rockers hated Disco and in 1979, there was two baseball games scheduled in Chicago. That’s called a Doubleheader. Between games, there was a gimmicky promotion where fans were encouraged to bring disco records to blow up. Two of the biggest artists they hated most was The Bee Gees and Donna Summer. It was an unfortunate event 🤷🏻‍♂️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2Ldf2Clgah-pZY

[@renyauger4560]

Donna Summer had amazing range & dance classics, lots of great suggestions. My personal fav is a bit different, try McArthur Park. It’s a bit trippy & still on my playlist today.

[@richardryan5826]

I was not really into disco music, but this is a fun song that stands the test of time. Nice reaction/review.

[@bernardbrun8091]

Hey guys if you compares donna summer with abba you must know one thing Hot stuff came out in april 1979 and gimme gimme was recorded in august 1979 when donna's songs Hot stuff and bad girls was 1rst and 3rd in bilboard chart . The only artist to have 2 songs in the same times in top 3 chart. Good reaction anyway

[@ScottPothan]

DS is the classic example of how disco started in the gay scene nightclubs. And she specifically targeted that audience. I saw her live on New Year’s Eve in Germany 1975. A gay nightclub outside Munich. Long before she was a huge hit in Europe. By the following year she was an underground hit on the London club scene. Then finally she made it big in the US, but again that was because of the gay NYC scene and Studio 54. I was in NY by then so I lived this transition in real-time. Summer brought Bee Gees together with Grace Jones into a genre that went from gay to straight. But you gotta realise that the very disco-hate that exists to this day comes directly from the hellfire homophobia of then/and now. That’s its source. No dispute. Even the Bee Gees know this.

Donna Summer was beyond disco, she was an extraordinary singer. See this 1979 live version of “Hot Stuff” kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYfRnYFnrpWjnNE And please listen to “Mac Arthur Park”, “State of Independence” and “A Song For You”.

Please do more Donna Summer Please. Love Her

[@scottyh8494]

She had many hits in the 70's that were great songs. Although she made a huge mistake with her religious belief's saying gays will go to hell when the aids epimedic hit. The gay community instead of embracing her music which would of been resionate of the community in many ways dropped her like a hot potato. They never forgave her.

[@slipstreammonkey]

It's more palatable I think to listen and enjoy the disco elements now compared to when a culture is inundated with it from radio/commercials/styles/etc. and how it was altering the music scene as a whole and changing it. You've listened to Pink Floyd The Wall: it's basically got a heavy disco influence which was made my the producer to persuade Roger Waters to check out the music scene going on. Wha la... you have Another Brick in The Wall.

[@darrylvonrokk]
