Donna Summer Special - "Sunset People" & "Bad Girls"

PLEASE VIEW IN 480p! Segment five from the 1980 ABC-TV "Donna Summer Special". Remember, this is before MTV debuted. "Sunset People" and "Bad Girls" (essentially music videos) are presented back to back in this segment. Here's the trivia: the girl on the lamp-post in "Sunset" is Donna's sister. The nun who shakes her head in disapproval is Donna's manager, Susan Munao. On the transition to "Bad Girls", that's me on the video switcher during editing creating the "Don't Walk" sign flashing to the beat of the music. Again, for you die-hard fans, it's a shame that the producers won't allow a DVD be made of this special . . . there are stereo tracks existing for everything. But for now, you won't find a better quality copy anywhere. This is from the ¾" personal copy made while protection copies were being struck. Enjoy!

RIP Donna. One of the true greats, an innovator and a great laugh as well.

[@arosenthal2011]

I loved her so much. A true disco queen. Hall of fame and legend

[@Soulthinker2007]

Loved the segment on Bad Girls. Among those bad girls was Twiggy. A watcted that special and enjoyed it. Donna Summer would be truly missed.

[@robertbruno6959]

I think the other girl is Debra Lee Scott from Mary Hartman, Mary hartman

[@eleanorjpoindexter4299]

Donna Summer's voice was so powerful and clearly annunciated! I miss her.

[@babybro70]

My love of Donna Summer & Debra Lee Scott brought me here. So sad they're both gone. RIP

[@liveandmore]

This TV special and the 1978 LIVE AND MORE concert should be released on DVD!

[@carlosleiva328]

I totally agree with you... it´s a shame that the producers doesn´t allow a DVD reléase of this special... despite the lack of original material from her... I own the Laser Disc of her 1983 concert and the Endless Summer VHS, but this material is from her great days and it´s better for me! Thanks for posting!

[@eenandereplaneet]

Love this video. Donna at her best!!! She looks sooo cool with her funky glasses

[@Ivanbelastegui]

amazing footage, great quality! The videos are quite ahead of time having in mind they were recorded in 1980. Beautifull shots of night lights. Thanks for posting this gems!

[@jamesmaina7004]

Donna made my years in the '80s...she was and still amazing...RIP Donna

[@sunstarthunderlighting6983]

Nice one Donna Summer, playing all these different roles👼🏾👸🏾🌞✨

[@dionyates2482]

Haha, I nearly missed Twiggy among the 'Bad Girls'! And the big lady was Pat Ast, a Warhol superstar and friend and assistant of the designer Halston who reportedly beat her classmate Barbra Streisand in a high school singing contest!

[@eduk6669]

Donna Summer is the queen of Dance music

[@frankfire81]

Awesome quality. I wish I could have this on DVD.

[@runandplay]

I'm a pr person, I am always envious of what you sound crew people get! Another great job!

[@Jake4uinto]

thanks for the MEMORIES...I remember this show real well. THEY don't make TV specials like that anymore.

[@ShaunaMarieSings]

Oh, how I absolutely adore Miss Summer...she was **The Quintessential Disco Queen...of All Time!!!** I just did a cover of her song, 'I Feel Love'...and it was sooo much fun to do!!! **I LOVE YOU, DONNA** ...wherever you are now...sailing through the heavens!!! 💗💗💗

[@BigBlackRod]

God, I miss those days...

[@vonbontee]

I remember watching this when it first aired...RIP, Queen of disco (and so much more)

[@bigface168]

Classic ....Another Great Classic....

[@dianabenedi8537]

Adoro a donna summer ❤

[@barrioboi1]

Totally love this. Great skit from a fun special and a fun time in American musical history. This definitely needs to be on DVD. It's got legs!

[@b0shy482]

Iconic

[@rabit818]

Thanks for naming the "bad girls"! I knew Twiggy but I could not place the other two and they looked so familiar. I remember Debralee from Police Academy!

[@rkhan7]

that's impressive you went to make an attempt to get this released. Barbara Eden has said so many times that you just don't see these variety shows anymore which has proved to be timeless and quite a charm. Did the producers give you any reasons? Also, I looked again, but I don't see where you are in the video. I just see the Don't Walk sign Did you get a chance to see more of the Olivia special? The first medley or Grow Young and the Remember the Days of the old Schoolyard medley?

[@ElectricLabel]

And thank you so much for posting this, it's great.

[@mz.channel]

I don't understand why they don't want to release it on DVD. People would buy it. I'm 24 and I'd buy it!

[@DJMichaelAngelo]

AMAZING!!! I hope this doesn't get yanked by KZbin - it's an AMAZING piece of history!

[@monicachuidian-riveracalde9554]

Miss her

[@RobertoMarroquinmarroco]

I love Donna Sommer oll the time teanks you BOB of Mexico City .

[@rkhan7]

This is awesome...what exactly are protection copies? and do you have any idea why the producers or donna won't let this be released on DVD? And what do you mean that that's you creating the Don't Walk sign?

[@LPJISKOOL]

Just found out today that the blonde bad girl was Twiggy.

[@sae-hyunji4792]

[@manaus199]

Oooo yesssss

[@rkhan7]

@ArgoWho Yep it does. Your job sounds really cool. How many people can say they actually met all 4 members of ABBA and watched them perform live up close. Considering the view on public performances now, that was definitely a once in a life time experience. Did you ever get a chance to find other footage of the Olivia special?

[@cesarmagnanimo4359]

Excelente vídeo. Me encanta :-D

ŚWIETNA JESTEŚ TO LATA 70 KLASA MACIEK

[@Leftatalbuquerque]

We're not getting reasons as to why the producers and ABC won;t release this... they must be telling you more than "No". Robert Guillome (sp) must have an estate that would be involved, as well as Donna's estate, now... Who is the copyright holder? I'm reminded of Liza releasing her 1972 "Liza With A Z" television special on DVD... all I know is, someone could be making money off this, but we get to see it in sections for free here!

[@explorer1968]

No melancholy! for Disco fans memories, Internet, DVDs, Blue Ray or radio stations are a way to perpetuate the flashy times that made the world dance all night long!! Show the Millenials that shuffle and modern-day beats (many of them) date back to Disco...

[@allbertbiyakubi2223]

Freedom and permissiveness are different. Freedom pleases and Permissiveness angers. Donna Summer for this clarification of a huge bouquet of flowers!... -- Свобода и Вседозволенность это разное . Свобода радует а Вседозволенность злит. Донне Саммер за это разъяснение огромный букет цветов!... rus.

[@DIETRICHCICCONE]

Does anybody know what the radio mic she's using in Bad Girls is called / the manufacturer? Am obsessed...looks like a weapon (of sass)

[@johncostello2423]

Good luck

[@DanielBMS]

Did they release this on DVD in Brazil on Donna Summer - Eternal Summer?
