Donna Summer - MacArthur Park (Groovefunkel Remix)

My favorite Donna Summer song freshly remixed from the original multitrack master. While the original is quite long, I felt with the incredible production it would be fun to bring some of this to the front in this remix. Enjoy an alternate intro, some new vocals and much more...Free download at www.groovefunkel.com

“There’ll be another song for me And I’ll sing it.. There’ll be another dream for me Someone will bring it” Chases my depression away..

[@robterm6508]

The Great Donna Beautful Summer. She was amazing. Truly missed by all her fans. She was the Disco Lady.Nice voice.

[@marcjacobs5988]

One take Donna. All her lines here are recorded at take ONE. Bloody take one. One take Donna. They made a second take, just to make sure, but never used it.... My god. Donna. Love her. Always loved her, from the first time I saw her in a television show in my little country, her breakthrough....

[@chrismitchell7351]

She was a consumate performer and musician. Her voice was one of a kind and I always feel uplifted when I hear her.

[@romerjusu3804]

The producers loved the fact that Donna didn't need many days in the studio because she was a ' one take ' artist.

[@user-vz4yy8ix1u]

Love this mix and will always love donna summer,

[@groovefunkel]

Thanks for listening

[@gxl5892]

The quality and clarity of Donna's voice in this remix is amazing!

[@groovefunkel]

Glad you enjoyed my mixing on this!

[@mathewrusso9420]

Additional comment... This is why you are a master at remixing. It's not about the pyrotechnics... too many "remixers" have all the glorious software, hardware and technical skills. It's not about that... It's about understanding the soul and vibe of the song, the artist, the production - and killing it, and resurrecting it all over again. You get it. You really do. Congrats. =M=

[@nana-vm4eu]

Would love to hear a version of "Could IT Be Magic" done like this

[@dariussykes8189]

Thats a fact

[@ep1793]

Wow wow wow best mix ever ever heard ,, musicality is amazing ,, couldn't stop listening over n over ,,, Donna lives ,,, disco right behind her,,,

[@groovefunkel]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@ManuelGarcia-nw2bg]

that intro has always been mind-boggling. FANTASTIC REMIX

[@eduardosinner]

I never heard anything like that and I love this music… Simply AMAZING 🩵 Donna would be proud to listen It!!! 🙏🏼🩵 Wonderful masterpiece track 🩵

[@groovefunkel]

Glad you enjoyed it. Such a wonderfully recorded session made mixing this one extra fun. Also, you might like my Donna Summer - Last Dance Alternate Vocal Remix. It is on my channel.

[@sjbigdlc]

this is how remixes should be like, using original tracks......for years i have been looking for a worthy MP mix, and today i found it...great job

[@michelesimula3714]

OMG, this is an absolute MASTERPIECE and I love it. Sheer class and total respect for the original.

[@rsmith7912]

Sensational. One for the purists who know every note & vocal. Gives this track an even higher sense of emotion (in a good way) if that's at all possible. Well done Groovefunkel. On the night of the announcement of Donna's untimely passing I just had to go out dancing. It was so unexpected. When MacArthur Park was played & came blasting over the dance floor loud and proud, I simply became an absolute sobbing, blubbering mess & cried until I couldn't anymore. It was that intense, but I knew I had to let that heartache out. I'd grown up with her music since I was 14 yet I couldn't process it all. I'm a grown man in my 50's for goodness sake so what does that say? Thinking about it a few days later I understood that it all meant that I possess a huge loving heart in touch with my emotions & that's good enough for me.

[@lunnouxhinds8464]

12 minutes of pure Bliss.

[@reelspinner]

OMG! FANTASTIC! Met her twice. Sweet lady. Oh how I miss her dearly. She was a siren/songstress and will forever be remembered as that and yes as MORE! I'm trying to search out an instrumental my to sing vocals in her honor. As known in history, this song was originally recorded by a male artist but didn't get the acknowledge/recognition until Donna Summer recorded it with her powerful and angelic voice. Thank you groovefunkel for sharing your talent. WOW!

[@sandrasanders706]

Actor Richard Harris recorded it first. Critics panned it and hated the song, Donna revived it and really did it justice! Jimmy Webb wrote this great song.

[@reelspinner]

@@sandrasanders706 Yes! Donna Summer gave it her style to own it with the help of Gorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte.

[@summerholliday44]

This just might be my favorite remix of my all-time favorite song great job who ever did this God bless you Donna Summer On this day we lost you 7 years ago

[@garythomson4702]

Encapsulates all things disco...like stepping back in time. What an amazing production 👌

[@lofiana2360]

Still so hard to accept she and that great voice are gone. Thanks for the clarity. Great job.

[@samanthastephens1907]

This song could never be too long. Another masterpiece by you.

[@ShesCheetahLaveau]

When you dancing in 7in pumps, padding with 7 pairs of tights, a latex breast plate, and with a mean ass tuck… tuhhh you shitting me😭😭😭

[@franck1964]

😊😊😍

[@polikwaptiwache397]

I must say I never heard your version before. BUT, I really loved it. I like the original content of your version. I mean it's different. That's THE BEST PART of it. I was a DJ at the peak of "The Disco Era" and I had an awesome time back then watching people dance. It amazed me. Thanks for the upload! I really enjoyed listening to a "Master at work" during this track.

[@groovefunkel]

Thanks for your kind words.

[@MichaelAdamsActingCoach]

This. Is. Masterful. Seriously - you never strayed from the “heart” of the original mix. Most remixes I’ve heard miss the mark because of the thing you actually accentuated. Sure, it’s a great classic dance track. But from the 1st time I heard it (it was released when I was 15, wow I’m old - ha!) I was mesmerized because - how should I say… it made me FEEL things. To this day 44 years later, same. To me the “heart” of the original was always the full out angst and drama - the emotional rollercoaster of Donna’s performance. So many mixes dilute that. Yours highlights it. NO small feat! You’re SO freaking talented.

[@groovefunkel]

Thank you for the kind words Michael. Be sure to check out my channel I have a lot of other remixes that you might like.

[@MichaelJonesJr]

I Wanna Hear More Donna Summer Please!!

[@ronvanderreijden1467]

I love this remix, and I love how you respect all the original songs you remix. It's like they all went in to the studio once again. I know this song by heart, and this version is so fresh and new. Thank you, Groove-WIZARD! Keep doing what you do!

[@groovefunkel]

Thank you Ron. I am glad you enjoyed it!

[@DjNoelLeon]

Masterpiece. Disco tour de force by the undisputed queen of disco. Well done my friend.

[@christophercanale1153]

Awesome amazing Donna Summer 💖🙏

[@440hz8]

Simply incredibly well done. Pure joy :-)

[@groovefunkel]

I’m glad you enjoyed this one as well.

[@Mochrie99]

Donna would have been so proud. You are amazing, my friend! Endless kudos to you.

[@rickjuarez57]

I AGREE...this suite is my most favorite side of LIVE AND MORE...I love what you have done...and did not think I would prior to listening! Even the vocals seem more crisp and sharp!

[@groovefunkel]

Thanks Rick. I worked hard mixing/mastering this one.

[@lesmiller3388]

Great piece of work. Donna Summer so underrated as a mainstream act. Groovefunkel you have released the grandeur of this masterpiece more please..

[@adamczerny2838]

Again a great high quality groovefunkel mix, wonderful sound,,,,,,,,,,,, thank you,

[@groovefunkel]

Thanks again Adam!

[@marcphilippe1053]

Truly a fantastic remix, long enough with a very good post-production and additional effects, but quite respectful to the original production by Moroder who i heard struggled hard to transform this Richard Harris song into a dance track. 👍👍👍

[@SQUAREMAN]

❤PERFECTION

[@terrymartin7]

Oh, I miss those disco days. We just loved dancing. How could you not with those fantastic songs. The 70s and 80s were the best Era in music. Superb remix! 🧡

[@jmdevotion]

So celestal & Magical version.....

[@mauricioalastuey6796]

Wow. Great Remix. I love sound of Bass by Mike Porcaro.

[@groovefunkel]

Glad you like it!

[@stateside67]

This is Amazing and so are you! Love all the stripping back, especially during the “there will be another song for me....” part bringing her amazing vocals and phrasing to the forefront. What a voice! What a complex piece of music. Thanks, I really appreciate you releasing this for us to enjoy. 😀

[@gerardoriveraacuna]

I loved it, I just loved it. I have been listening to the McArthur Park suite for more than 10 years, it has always been one of my favorites, and this version is delicious, I loved the instrumentation, the arrangements, it did not lose its essence, and IT DID WIN a lot. Now I will follow your work. (translated from Spanish with google translator)

[@jmdevotion]

sensational multitracks re-imagined version..... very inspired !!!

[@RobLives4Love]

I WISH IT WAS LONGER!!!!!

[@Leftatalbuquerque]

The lyrics of the second movement echo the trajectory of Summer's career, when you think about it.

[@tyvanhworkout]

Magnificent!

[@cousinvinny7990]

I have listened to a few of your master remixes and i like the fact you don't stuff up the original feel of the original works you are a refreshing blessing in disguise. p.s if you could do a rework of the funkmasters it's over i think you would do an amazing job

[@JimmieJamOfTheDay]

Please put together a complete Donna Summer set for official release and/or download. That would be Summer magic!

[@aaflyer98]

Summer super fan since 1977! I love love love this mix! Great job Groovefunkel! Donna shines. The music shines. Brilliant! Thank you!

[@marcelobahia6788]

Simplesmente fantástico! Parabéns! ❤❤❤

[@mathewrusso9420]

Here's why I love this one you remixed... First, you decided to take on the challenge of fucking with a classic. That's a huge, huge risk. Second, you did it well. You extended the entire "drop" at the beginning... and kept it original to the vibe of the song. It's like you are channeling Tom Moulton. Pure brilliance - and it works wonders. =M=

[@groovefunkel]

Thank you so much Matt!

[@erictoddw]

Amazing!

[@steveoshow4832]

When a song gets the Groovefunkel treatment you know you are in for a tasty treat and this fabulous update of Donna Summer's brilliant cover just sizzles😎👍

This is beautiful song and by miss Donna heaven,,,,but in all honesty this song is owned by my fellow IRISHMAN Richard Harris R,I,P. RICHARD AND DONNA

[@guillermobl8]

Spring was never waiting for us, dear...

[@lunnouxhinds8464]

I love this. But please give me love's Unkind. The original is to short we need a longer version.

[@pocodfe]

What you did to the bridge of this song, (there will be another song for me...) which is my favorite part, is beautiful. I always felt like that could have been a song of its own. This is such a pretty version! And that instrumental at the end? Wow.

[@groovefunkel]

It really is more than just a song...more like an experience. Thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the remix.

[@musicmusic65]

Beautiful work.

[@randythompson3510]

This took a lot of work. I mean- you even had end credits and a logo! Awesome!!

[@groovefunkel]

Thanks Randy!

[@raelsandoval571]

Really good mix, cheers to you! More Donna please, something else you can breathe new life to, except for compilations, she is consistently being pushed away, at that rate she will be nothing but a distant memory..so only her fans are interested in keeping her voice/music alive seemingly.

[@GuiBR3000]

Nossa, que belo trabalho! Muito obrigado por compartilhar. Ficou incrível!

[@marcjacobscontinued9411]

This is a great and uplifting remix. Very nice work indeed. Keep 'em coming. Much appreciated. Clean sound as well. Great.

SENSACIONAL REMIX

[@djbille4283]

OMG 😱 ❤ This is a remix that should have been released in 1978 because it’s the bomb. I thought it was pretty true to the original but noticed added tidbits here and there. Love ❤️ the instrumental breaks especially at 5:45, gives me the chills 🥶. Love ❤️ your label too as well as the end credits rolling, like the end of a perfect movie 🎥 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Brava, bravo!!!

[@groovefunkel]

I’m very happy you enjoyed it this much.

[@djbille4283]

I loved ❤ this mix the most of all those of yours I listened to. The slowdowns at 9:22 and 10:45 are extraordinary. I hope we’ll be hearing more of your outta this universe mixes. ☺️ Thanks for sharing your incredible talent with the world 🌎

I could kill now for a decent haircut, to be able to go out dancing, and for a remix of "One of a kind" like this one! And if I were to dance to that remix with that haircut that'd be a dream come true 😜 (Feb. 2021, Amsterdam)

If I ever get the full Suite multitracks, I will combine this remix with my Heaven Knows remix with a new One of a Kind remix.
