  • Great song by one of the geatest voices. Richard Harris was good, but does not top Summer's great voice

  • 48 ppl stil miss that recipe...

  • That was AWESOME!!!!!

  • I don't think I've ever heard anyone sing with so much passion about ruined pastry. Decent singer, TERRIBLE song.

  • @13GLaDOS42 WHAT ??? Sir Richard Harris, if he were alive would disagree

    vehemently !!

  • Hello operator, can you please dial me back to when music made me feel sooo good and full of energy? wow :)

  • U can say that again 70s 80s those were the good days

  • nearly 34 years ago - really amazing !

  • In which year was this recorded ?

  • @DIRKDIELTIENS my guess is 1978. I just did a "what was the number 1 song the week you were born" on facebook and got this song

  • Superb.....now that's music

  • queen of disco...

  • Donna Summer all time great.

  • still stunningly beautiful and that voice is amazing

  • Ao vivo da Holanda. Essa grande diva da música mundial nunca pisou no Brasil. Mas aqui ela tem uma grande legião de fãs. Estou na lista

  • I love this with the band in the background, this makes it for me.

  • Most female singers don't retain their voice and range at this age - this is amazing.

  • You gotta love the girl on the piano getting into the song.......that's passion.

  • have a look at my channel on here, i have done a cheeky bootleg of this with the shapeshifters.... xx

  • She is great,the song is great...fantastic

    Thank you for sharing

  • Donna has still got it a fantastic voice

  • She is still incredibly Hot, Hot, Hot!!! Seems like she has gotten even more beautiful with age. Impressive.

  • YOU ROCK GIRL...

  • i love donnasummer......4ever

  • Sorry guys...but here goes...."Honey, you don't know nothin'. The ONLY version of this song that EVER was is the Donna Summer Version. Please...girlfriend...don't you know nothin? bout nothin? geezzzzz

  • Wow she has a Big Time voice .

    She kinda murders this very tender and emotional song though.

    I'd say she feels no pain !

    I remember the bins dotted around San Fran

    In the 70s so you could throw her records away into them. She said some bad Aids thing.

    I think she's a great part of music history )

  • Did anyone Ever send her that Recipe for that cake? It's easy to make~!

  • Without doubt the Disco Queen, love her stuff!

  • she was and will always be beautiful in my eye's...simply gorgeous...

  • God can she ever sing! Talent and beauty! I will never understand this song though!!!! LOL

  • @bambis46 YEP Me too-Awesome Today, as Ever! The one and only, ICON

    Donna Summer! Wow Just loved her for decades now! & No, I don't get the Metaphor of Cake in the rain. I just hope someone sent her the recipe? That worries me..? ♥D

  • @DFoxHope HAHAHAHA! that's funny! I can understand Richard Harris singing it - he was always drunk and God knows what he was talking about! BUT for her to sing it - I wonder if she read it and said "WTF?!!" LOL I also hope she finally received the recipe! LOL

  • A living legend. Class, style, vocal abillities beyond many singers today, beauty...... incredible.

  • despite the fact she went born again christian...she is still the babe of all babes

  • She's still hot

  • All I could say is WOW

  • This lady spells Class !!

  • There is NO ONE ....NO ONE better than this Lady !!

  • She is perfect, this haircut suits her... =)

  • donna summer is the best and thats she wil stay

  • donna summer is under-appreciated. she's just amazing. she was around before whitney houston, and never fell off the wagon like whitney did.

  • Jimmy webb wrote this song he is a genius

  • When Richard Harris did this tune in 1968, everyone was high on LSD. When Donna Summer did this tune 10 years later, everyone was high on Cocaine. I haven't used either, but I'd have to imagine, since Mrs. Summer's version went to #1 on The Billboard Pop Charts for 3 weeks in 1978, Cocaine is a more potent drug than LSD. Am I wrong?

  • @kja427 not more potent then LSD just better. lol

  • @kja427 The lyrics could be referring to LSD, the disco rythm in Donnan Summers hit is more appealing to the energy cocaïne can give you. But besides that, disco was appealing to a lot of people in those days (and still is).

  • All totally LIVE!

  • Donna still ruels damn she´s amazing

  • RECORDANDO BUENOS TIEMPOS EN DISCOTHEQUE LOS ARCOS DE NOCHISTLAN, ZAC., CON LICHO SOLIS. AUN CANTA SUPER.

  • Alem de ooottima cantora, ela embalou minhas noites de sabado nas discotecas e meus sonhos. Foi meu sonho de consumo por mutio tempo, Aquela boca, aquele olhar e o sorpo que tinha, nooosssaaa.......

  • Masterclass...Damn she´s so amazing....

  • this is music!!!! absolutly groovey!

  • この歌が流行していた1980年代は、将にディスコのドナー・サ­マー(女王)にふさわしい。マッカーサーパーク、彼女のエネルギ­ッシュが伝わってきます。

  • 24 # 1 hits on the dance/disco charts she truly i the quuen of disco. and she the only artist to have a number hit in eachb decade since 1970.rock and roll hall of fame asap

  • This reminds me of a spirited time. I took my youth and power for granted. Now I am tired and bewildered. Yet there is so much strength to gather from great music, real music. Thank you for posting. I have always loved Donna Summer's voice.

  • uni-pig

  • The truest diva of the 70's! Donna, you still rock!

  • great piano playing!!  she sounds & looks great! go Donna...

  • Donna got better with age and they didn't give her attention only because they only praise 23 yr olds...what a stupid industry....

  • @peoniesfleur Come on... don't be so dramatic. Just think of Barbra Streisand or Madonna herself. A pity Donna Summer waited to long to come back to stage :(

  • @peoniesfleur wow, you're right. kinda of hit on this video by accident and was half expecting a weakened with age voice from donna summer, which you can somewhat hear in the end of phrase high notes that have to be held for a couple bars, but otherwise the verses of the song sound the same as when she recorded it in the 70s

  • 46 people are Justin Bieber, Beyonce, and Rihanna, fans!! This is the Woman that had, and still got me Dancing ! Hope that she gets in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! She is not Called the QUEEN of DISCO for Nothing. May I remind the YOUNGSTERS, this is ''LIVE''. No LIP SYNC, Britany Spears, No wardrobe Malfinctions, to sell Records! Let see Rihanna do this '' LIVE''. To the 46 IDIOTS, TONE-DEAF, AUTO-TUNED, People, .............May I present MY QUEEN, MISS DONNA SUMMER, !!

  • There's Donna and Barbara...then all the rest!

  • Boy did watching this bring back memories.

  • 2:48 ........

  • amazing indeed!!

  • so Share ur dreams and thoughts with me

  • lindíssima música coisa boa sempre bom relembrar.

  • What a song...what a voice...

  • loved this concert at the FOX in hotlanta

  • one of my favorite tracks of donna...she is so great. wonderful voice and a gorgeous person. luv ya donna!

  • Ahfaxthis--her father is a minister and disowned her for the "sinful" lyrics in her songs, try to be tolerant of how people are affected in their youth...I doubt she hates gay people but has most likely been impacted by religious views...be tolerant if you want tolerance

  • @ahfaxthis I hate em too......

  • sinplemente me encanta

  • great anyway great that all !

  • MAGNIFICA VOZ QUE , QUE TE HACE RECORDAR BELLOS MOMENTOS DE JUVENTUD, AÑORADA SECUNDARIA, ORIZABA, VER

  • What is this? Didn't she ever listen to the original? Where does this comment about "party time!" come frome? This is great poetry; not dance music. I have to end my comment now or I will add something that is not nice about her stage presences too. Sorry that this artist missed the point.

  • @michaelalanlee

    That was the best thing you did .....stop your comments!!!!!!!

  • @nanicosky Anyone who uses seven exclamation points must be very serious about their communications and must provide a reply with deep content and a carefully reasoned message. It is especially noteworthy when a reply attacks the author rather than speaking to the content of the message. Do you understand or am I typing too fast?

  • @michaelalanlee All she was saying was that she wanted them to enjoy the love, the joy, and the music --and have a great time dancing to a spectacular song...A song as classical as this can be interpreted in many ways and, to me, they all sounded great then and they still do.... Thanks Jimmy, .Richard, Donna, Glen, et al....and. I agree, POETRY!!!.(in any genre)?.. oh yeah, baby!!!

  • still awesome

    

  • Additionally, with Richard Harris's version, (the original recording of "MacArthur Park") it topped the BILLBOARD HOT 100 spot at #2 in May, l968. This was followed by no less than 107 (!) other artists that then did covers of it, Donna's, of course, included.

  • Jimmy Webb masterpiece -- classic & incredible. So many, many artists have done covers of "MacArthur Park"...&. Donna's version, having reached #1 on BILLBOARD TOP 100 in 1978, still sounds amazing! Much love to songwriter, song and singer! <3 <3 <3 XOXOXOXOX

  • So great, pianoman gone wild LOL

  • she is the Queen and Diva of disco. To my knowledge she was the only solo artists that i rember them saying that she had 2 of the top 3 songs on the chart at the same time, "hot stuff/bad girls". I have the vinyls and would not trade them for anything every song is great

  • It's time American Idol pay tribute to this American Icon!!!

  • BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND WONDERFUL VOICE.

  • @strawdogs111 yes ......... _ yes everywere

  • Shes really good..hope u will watch jonalyn vid..thanks in advance..leave a negative or positive feedback for her..thanks a lot

  • Hi people please watch jonalyn viray macarthur park..please..

  • still pitch perfect

  • When i was 3 years of age she was the first person who i was voice had me in a grasp...She is the best and still my favorite for ever

  • Donna has a way of looking at people that is soooo hot. I could say incendiary, inflaming, inciting, but none of those express the HEAT that her gaze engenders.

  • yeah, what a voice, gives me goosebumps....wow

  • It simply means you'll never have those years to live over again no matter how much you may want them...and you need that time back to try again because you really blew it the first time (well, most of it, anyway).......Ohhhhh, noooooooo!!!!!

    But thanks Jimmy Webb, Donna, Richard, et al. for the great song and sound.<3

  • Muito lindo!!!

  • She still looks great!!!

  • She is all time Queen of disco, love her songs when I was a teen' in the 70's till now

    and then. Donna, keep on singing.

  • @toughjohn9 Yup I remember this song from the 70's as a teen growing up in NJ. I like this version more though, it's kickin'. Having those kick ass back up musicians always helps too ;-)

  • Gorgeous....singer, song and vocal....EVERYTHING! Much thanks for this!

  • She's talented and has stage presence. Nevertheless, her version isn't nearly as good as Richard Harris's. On top of that, it bothers me when someone takes the creation of another and changes the words; makes it seem like they're so arrogant that they want to suggest that the original artist, the creator, got it wrong and they came along and fixed it. Plus, I don't like it when when attribution isn't given, especially when there are so many watching the show.

  • @guyNbluejeans Sorry but I disagree. As a 70s child who grew up to love this song, I mostly loved the tempo and beat, because otherwise, it is the stupidest lyrics to ever exist! The lyrics don't make sense. Even today, most people who grew up to Donna's version, didn't understand why she had such a fascination with soggy sponge cake and torrential downpours on baked goods! and now I find out it wasn't her song and I heard the original and its is horrendous! Donna transformed it!

  • Comment removed

  • @cjs33139 Loads of song lyrics dont make sense, specially when the songwritersare on drugs ! If you cant enjoy this cos of the lyrics go back to poetry. Honestly!

  • she is the absolut greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • she had a nose job it seems...

    still love that sound.

    

  • Still the Queen of Disco. Still a big fan. Hope you will do a concert in Holland soon.

    We love Donna.

  • wtf is she wearing?! Otherwise I <3 her! Back in the day people actually sang :D

  • Love Donna at almost 60 and here art is spectacular.

    But unfortunately Age is also grabbing on her,she does not have the high notes anymore....but still knows how to hold an Audience on here toe´s

    Thanks My Donna!!

    LOL

  • donna you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • donna tu est la reine,,,,,je kiff

  • Donna is granted, a bit older than when the early cuts and appearances happened. This song as 'disco' is to be taken lightly - BUT - her maturity now exudes a seriousness - it leaks through a bit - almost a sadness - as though she /feels/ it personally. I pick up on that - like a lens into the artist. For me, that is real. Feel me?

  • fuck these adverts

  • Her vocals are just amazing - perfection.

  • Um show! Sds, sergrasan

  • if jesus had a bride her voice and looks would be like donna summer without her sins

  • Love you Donna But DAMMIT You LOST that Recipe I sent? AGAIN? Okay, I will send it~!!! /AGAIN~!! Hang on to it this time okay Honey? Thanks ♥Donny
