[MontseSolis13]

nice , just nice ...

[RyansMamaJama25]

why the fuck does eva 1 bash disco when no one can duplicate this music.

[DiscoMania]

Donna's vocals soar with majestic grace. The beautiful string arrangements are a perfect compliment.

This is real music.

[NTWITATalkRadio]

All this time, I always thought Teddy Pendergrass was singing background with Donna on this one. He sounds just like him! You learn something new everyday!

[helgolandstrandpark]

Heavenly voice.......Donna you rock

[angiebaby332]

fabulous !!!!

[belkisfransisco1]

this where house music all started from...donna was beautiful

[naplesjoe47]

and, she was born on Dec. 31, 1948....one year to the date after me. I;m sure she doesn;t judge her birthday as to when I was born!!! New Years Eve Babies

[naplesjoe47]

Imagine...stepping up to the microphone, opening your mouth, and out pours such a beautiful, soulful voice like magic... Amazing!!!!!

[rubenfiero]

From her early years, Miss Summer knew she was gifted with The Voice, a voice that  has surpassed years, language barriers, cultures, frontiers..almost nobody can compete with the power and the sweetness of The Voice : Donna Summer!!

[sphinxrising58]

I recall as a youth, listening to Donna helped me through some rough patches of life, I would just go in my room, put on her greatest hits, crank it & just get lost in the music, still works 30+ years later :)

[koffeebrwn]

@sphinxrising58 lol me too, especially mac arthur's park.

[INSIDELINE65]

Does anyone know who is singing backup? it sounds like Micheal Mcdonld.

[steelydws]

@INSIDELINE65 the backup singer is Joe "Bean" Esposito.

[koffeebrwn]

@steelydws he does the sesame street songs, like "everybody sleeps or everybody eats", great voice.

[rellenoz]

@koffeebrwn omg I remember Everybody Eats! LOL!

[rmar67]

@steelydws

It was a group called the Brooklyn Dreams (I have no idea if Esposito was in that group).

[solomonmorris7]

@steelydws Correct and he lives here in Las Vegas Nevada and performs with Brenda Russell

[BigRussell]

@steelydws Joe "Bean" Esposito, Very good! He has an incredible voice. I wish he and Donna had done another duet. Joe "Bean" Esposito and Broklyn Dreams did back ground vocals. Donna's husband Bruce was also a member of Broklyn Dreams. I would have picked Joe for her but Bruce is a handsome guy lol! Heaven Knows was also recorded and included on Broklyn Dreams Album released the same year with Donna singing the vocals that Joe sang in the version appearing on Donna's albums.

[kiimora]

@steelydws isn't that her husband?

[PtolemyJones]

@INSIDELINE65 I agree, it does sound like him. Joe 'Bean' has a heck of a voice.

[schiazzacmable]

DONNA SUMMER IS MORE BEAUTIFUL TODAY THAN SHE WAS IN THE 70'S....

A TRUE TESTIMONY TO SUCH A GORGEOUS WOMAN!!!!

[luv2luvya77]

No singer comes even close to donna summer.Donna has been blessed with spectacular pipes and it's miraculous she sounds as fantastic now just as she did in the 70s, even better! Waiting for her to perform in Malaysia! Bless you Donna!

[SuperDugesz]

Heaven knows Donna is the best!!!

[wtxgirl67]

Love it! ♥

[pillowkamakura]

thanks for posting this beautiful song



[popazz1]

WOW,absolutely 12 inches of pleasure! As a 50 year old man,it is bloody marvelous to hear the music of my youth all over again! For me,her best album was 'Live & More'.She always gave 100% to her music,& it's good to a whole new generation of youtubers can appreciate a fantastic vocalist.

[ND7652]

@popazz1 She truly is UNDERRATED !!!

[popazz1]

@ND7652 ,

Yup,you're not wrong!

[ND7652]

@popazz1 The ONLY reason is that she CANNOT eclipse . Ross , Franklin, Warwick, Turner, or Madonna .

[popazz1]

@ND7652

I think the only 'star' you mentioned that I might agree with is Franklin,SHE is a musical genius. But I certainly think Summer CAN & DOES compare favourably with Ross &Turner.As for Warwick,well personally I'm not all that keen on her style but she does seem to have become a 'legend'.But Madonna?! No,sorry,Summer has an infinitely superior voice to Madonna,so she easily eclipses Madonna,in my opinion!

[zanna90]

@popazz1 The reason why Summer isn't compared to Summer is that summer is younger than her but .......Summer did to Vocals what Aretha did in the 70's but difference IS .....Donna can still do that !

[popazz1]

@zanna90 ,

'Er,I think I see what you're saying,kind of!

[JhonathanFree]

@popazz1 Anyone who compares Donna Summer to Madonna has such bad taste they are not worth talking to. LOL.

[popazz1]

@JhonathanFree,

You,Sir are spot-on with your observation.Poor Madonna couldn't hold a candle to Summer.It's all a question of personal taste I guess,but no,Madonna up against the great Summer? Er,I don't think so,lol.

[JhonathanFree]

@popazz1 It's like comparing a vintage wine with a wine cooler. LOL. I mean wine coolers have their place and sometimes you might even enjoy one, but the superior choice will be the vintage wine.

[popazz1]

@JhonathanFree ,

Hahahahahaha,excellent analogy,and soooooooo right,lol."Heaven knows,it's not the way it should be.And Heaven knows,it's not the way it could be" :-)

[PUMPWEEZY718]
