MacArthur Park [full version, no Suite] - Donna Summer

[@tanyachavis2578]

❤ Who’s still listening in 2025? The awesome voice of Donna Summer? Happy 2025 to all!!

[@lunnouxhinds8464]

The only version of Macarthur park You need.

[@NicholeCarterMusic]

Agreed!

[@spetragl]

It's amazing that you can take a classic by British actor Richard Harris, jazz it up with a disco beat, and have "Disco Quee"n Donna Summer belt it out with so much feeling.

[@crystalp7242]

Richard Harris was actually Irish (from Limerick, Ireland). He spent the majority of his career living and working in the UK, but he never took British citizenship and was very vocal about his pride in being Irish. He was longtime friends with fellow actor Peter O’Toole (who was born in England to parents of Scottish and Irish descent), and the stories of their drinking, drugging, and carousing are the stuff of legends. (Harris was eventually able to stop his drug use, and significantly curbed his drinking in the last couple of decades of his life, although he did still drink the occasional Guinness.)

This song is so old.

This version of MacArthur Park reminds me of Cathedral High in L.A., 1979. My best friend Lando Izquierdo RIP and I were in the basketball gym for a dance. We were at the top of the bleachers when this song began playing. He started singing the song almost from the top of his head as if he was Donna Summer...unbelievable! Damn! I miss him so much and the memories we had at Cathedral High. RIP Lando until we meet again!

Donna Summer "MacArthur Park", 1978 This is the original and very first "MacArthur Park" Donna Summer's version ever, in wich it was recorded in one take without any practice before (10:41 mins). * Esta es la versión original y primera de "MacArthur Park" por Donna Summer, la cual se grabó de una sola toma, sin práctica o ensayo previo (10:41 mins). Giorgio Moroder made a wonderful mix including "One Of A Kind" and "Heaven Knows", and the unique spectacular final production was "MacArthur Park Suite"; a great musical Master Piece. * Giorgio Moroder hizo una maravillosa mezcla incluyendo "One Of A Kind" y "Heaven Knows" y la espectacular producción final fue "MacArthur Park Suite"; una gran Obra Maestra musical.

[@robertjohnson1602]

In it's 46th year of release, I never tire of listening to this masterpiece. Donna Summer's best song as it showcases her incredible range perfectly. Deservedly a US#1 for 3 weeks in November 1978.

[@walterpewen7903]

Maybe, possibly the finest line in the song is "And I'll ask myself why.." When it was released back in 78 some parts really stood out. That was definitely one.

[@bernab]

I love this song for many reasons: how great Donna Summer sang this one!, that it lasts 10 minutes, that the brass section in two or three parts played , i think, maybe tritone relations? (F# and C, i think) which sounds epic, and the track is dramatic, epic and danceable. Wish the pop music these days was like those days!

[@spetragl]

I love the 2 key changes just before the final verse (at 09:02). Brilliant!

It's an exact recreation of a DJ edit I heard in a club back in the late 70's. Essentially the 45 RPM single, album and Disco single were all merged together.

Farewell Donna and Casablanca records for such music genius. RIP. Danceable and memorable. Thanks, Donna Summer, Bruce, and Giorgio. Vive les pop rock, ballad, and disco freaks ....

[@spetragl]

Don't forget Jimmy Webb wrote this beautiful song about a failed romance. All of the metaphors relate to something real in his life. (All the sweet green icing flowing down) and (Someone left the cake out in the rain)! Beautiful words.

[@nelsonpapucci5615]

The original song was from the 60s and it was either an extremely brilliant, or extremely childlike, depending on your perspective. Some say the song was so big, it was LSD inspired. The guy who sang the 60s version was not a trained singer he was a renowned actor somehow.these are two very different versions of the same song than trying to mimic it

[@crlaw75]

The original singer was Richard Harris.
