Donna Summer - McArthur Park Live at Night Of The Proms.mpg

[@DeanVanNort]

It's hard to believe she passed just four months after this performance from lung cancer. You'd never know she was ill by watching or listening to this performance. She was one of the greats!!

[@tdkleffman]

not true, this performance was in 2005, she died in 2012.

[@cathierobbins445]

Definately wouldn't know she was sick but her eyes look tired.

[@davec69us]

I doubt that most of today's crop of singers could even remember all the lyrics to a great song like this....I'm so glad that I grew up during the time that artists like Donna Summer (and so many more) ruled the airwaves.......They gave our generation so many great memories, which will last our lifetime....... Thank You!!

[@soniamariadossantos776]

Apresentação impecável. Voz maravilhosa. Música linda!.. Amei muito tudo isso. ❤

[@darkchamelleon7228]

Only Donna Summer can make this song ALIVE ...

[@pamelabodley]

Just amazing! Donna has an iconic voice and she controls it beautifully with an incredible range. I watched and smiled through the entire video just remember her come up in the 70s and what a beautiful voice she had. She's unforgettable.

[@johnmarshall6278]

Incredible 40 piece orchestra, backup singers and a chorus can’t drown out that voice!!!!

[@Hongkong1234-x4z]

A true legend and fantastic singer - unforgetable as a disco queen in 70's and 80's! We miss you so much! 😍😍😍😍

[@wallaby57]

The amazing Miss Donna Summer! I was fortunate enough to see her in 1979 @ The Houston Astrodome....I was spellbound then and still am all these years ago. Love @ Peace

[@andrepresseault8962]

Elle est venue à Montréal au cours des années 70. J'étais un de ces fans incontestés, quelle performance elle avait offerte. Je t'oublierai jamais Donna.

[@bobbybillymiller]

The greatest female vocalist ever. Tina Turner is right there. But this one woman, Donna Summer, was an angel. We were lucky to have her the 63 years we did. I love her forever and ever.

[@johnmcgovern6330]

Tina ???? Cmon no comparison

[@ABLynWilson]

I can watch this over and over again and just sit down and smile, cause Donna made the impossible possible, damn what a voice!

[@fred5399]

***** Me too.

[@Kreatures100]

I saw her in LA in the latter years. Her voice was amazing. We were all stunned how beautiful and powerful it was. She commented on gaining weight ‘I was eating potatoes chips’.the audience cheered her on and she started cry. It was so moving that perhaps the latter years were a bit tougher. But it made her more human and she sang the roof off the Amphitheater.

[@MarkSmith-hf5nh]

This is an incredible performance. Big stage. Big band. Big voice. Soaring into the night. Almost perfect.

[@aren2822]

She was an icon of disco dance. RIP Donna, we never forget you.

[@tracyblanco4636]

Oh absolutely you are so very missed. I couldnt walk into a club in the 70 and 80's without hearing it coming out of every club and especially the 77-79 disco heavy era in all the clubs everywhere. Any club that was anything from Ca to New York. She was awesome and she is missed. But we have her beautiful spirit and voice to carry with us.

[@raulrod5984]

I have to agree MacArthur's Park was as great as or better than the original single!!!

[@ScottWard1031]

She puts all the current singers to shame! I could listen to her all day long and never get tired of her! She lifts me up with an excitement, enthusiasm, and positivity that no one else can conjure up!

[@nepovadno]

She is my favourite singer. Something magic and magnetic in her voice.

[@dexterdog717]

What a voice. Just incredible. She didn't need any overdubbing or lip syncing. Rock on in Heaven Donna. Do an album with David Bowie and show him around the place!!

[@torresongs2]

Yes! Pure talent! She just opened her mouth and out came all that beautiful sound! She is sadly missed!

[@schnucks01]

[@ginodesalvo2274]

This version is the BEST, I am a musician, a drummer of 40 plus years, That orchestra and rhythm section is fabulous, that bass player and drummer and very good together, Donna fits right in with them, TONS of POWER there, great groove, the music of today, well just plain SUCKS, if you can even call it music, all electronic no real musicians, (cheap way out). Bring back the real music, all the Luther's, Donna's, Michael, Whitney, etc, Donna was the best...................................RIP Donna

[@keytarpimp]

+Gino Desalvo Great musicianship, poor mixing and recording, such a shame

[@thatjpwing]

Lightning in a bottle. This performance far surpasses any previous version by Donna Summer or Richard Harris. The stars aligned when this performance took place and it still blows me away every time I watch this video. Every musician seen here contributed to a once in a lifetime moment. Take your life into your hands and use it, just like Donna did here. She is truly missed.

Your comment proves something I always say. A great song or performance will transcend genres, ages and languages. Metal is light years removed from this kind of music, but you saw the musical value in it. You get it.

Chris Gambaro-Vega Her voice is pure GOLD . You cannot be a fan of music and disregard this woman. Amazing voice don’t care what box ( label ) you want to put her in Disco whatever if she moves you on a emotional level that’s the point of music feel good and moving. Again just WOW !!!!

Everything that evening was A1. Donna (obviously) and orchestra. So special. Highly memorable.

[@themarinebuoy]

All so called R&B artists who rely on auto tune for a living need to watch this vid a few times and understand that this is why Donna Summer's music is being played 45 years on. As a broadcaster of predominately black music I think I can assume that nobody will be listening to their music in 40 years. Today's so called R&B/Soul has become so sterile, static and homogenised that artist's voices and music sound the same. The individuality of artists has for me died some time ago. This performance by Donna Summer brought back some great memories and made me realise that I should have made more of an effort when she was alive to see her perform live. As a 17 yr old at the time and hearing " I Feel Love" for the first time was something I've never forgotten. Do yourself a favour and listen to it realising that it was recorded 43 years ago ! The world is worse off for not having Donna Summer.

[@denisel4736]

This woman had so much grace and class, she was truly underrated. Thank you Donna for your beautiful voice and the way you carried yourself. You were a lady, a superstar, and will remain a legend.

Amen Sandra! God I miss those days, the era, Disco music, listening to the late Disco Queen Mrs. Donna Summers. Back in the Disco era when this song came on there was no room in the dance floor to dance! I miss the styles, back when people actually would dress up to go dancing in the Nightclubs, concerts, wedding receptions, house parties not like nowdays! Of my many, many regrets my life was never seen her life in concert back when she was alive. First time I heard her singing was back in 1977 when the song Love To Love You Baby! Back when Disco music was at It's peak and all her other beautiful, sexy songs! I keep on saying that there will never be nobody like her singing, her style of music, or anybody come close. I've listening to this song, danced to it, and also still got the vinyl records and many more if her songs in vinyl records, eight track which to me back then was a piece of garbage for who remembered the tape would get stuck and break just like cassettes! But still I miss these music, those days that came and went by so quickly .Rest in peace Donna Summers and long live Disco music forever! ❤️ Frank.
