[posposil]

wen I heard it the first time,I was 20 years...

[dirtyfrenchie]

smile voice way of peeping she's too sexy!!

[juanitobastos]

Oh my God! Is that the same gorgeous voice I´ve been listening to my whole life on the radio?

[Martywt43]

OMG!! This is my first time hearing this song, but I LOVE it!!!! I can't understand why it wasn't a hit in the U.S.!

Greetings from Germany!

This is Su Kramer from Hamburg, performing "An evening in a big city" in 1975.

(with lyrics, so you can get an impression of the pronounciation while reading!)

Su Kramer remained Germany's most famous performer from the musical "HAIR"

[maggie6234]

I enjoyed her singing this song in Anaheim, ca. ( one of her recent concerts/ '05 )

Of course she started singing Rock and Rock&Roll ! (She joined the band "the Crow" in High School)

[plaridel85]

Thank you for sharing this rare video with the world showing Donna singing one of her early hits. Rare videos are gems! Donna at her best even if she was just starting with her music career.

[fborreromba]

Never heard this before. This is amazing. Thanks for sharing. I love her since I hear her for the first time.

[bcguy61]

sure brings back a lot of memories. Beautiful voice, thanks DS.

[EmilioJr1000]

I've loved Donna since '75 and when I found this album years ago I went wild....what a QUEEN !!

[record67able]

This footage is fantastic!! This song is mostly always overlooked on compilation CD's just as 'The Hostage' and that's a shame 'cause they're great songs! Thank you!! :-)

[DEEDUBB1979]

I love this Euro Pop song. This song was released in 1974 mainly in Germany and many parts of Europe. Donna is a true vocal talent.

[MultiFunky2000]

Donna? You are my LADY OF THE NIGHT

[poeticjournalism]

her voice can do so much, it's magnificent.

[Tundivyn]

This is the best I have heard her sing. It shows she can cover folk rock as well as disco and pop. I am one of her biggest-young fans, I'm 14 and she is better than any singer nowadays!

[BabyJaneHudson]

She really has a wonderful voice and it gets better as she ages. Her two new albums should be out soon - one Dance and one of Standards. Can't wait.

[geroguy0472]

What a gorgeous voice! Can't believe it's her--never heard her voice sound this silky!

[Gvieto]

Donna has a great singing talent that will never be matched again in our lifetime.

[1musicencyclopedia]

Donna Summer is the best female singer EVER!!!!!!!

[Patonight]

I love it this song!

Great souvenirs 70's!

Thank you for sharing,it's a collector vidéo!

regards

[Burgiefan]

Tolles Lied! 5 *****

Es gibt auch eine deutsche Version!

Su Kramer - Abends in einer großen Stadt!

[jmgilc62]

Donna Donna. one of the most precious voice in the world. for ever and before disco music. she a queen. for her beauty, talent, and sensibility. a lot of thanks to Moroder, Bellote, Jabara, Jones, Summer, Springsteen, Manilow and much more writters and musicians for help this eternal queen. DONNA SUMMER thanks thanks thanks

[jewelgirl23]

I love this! Geez - where does that voice come from? She's sooo good! I wish there were more singers out there like this TODAY that were heard. Instead of "studio produced" sounds we should have singers with great voices and musicality like Miss Summer here!

[Flocketrixi]

SUPERSCHÖNES LIED.EINE GROßARTIGE SÄNGERIN!!!!!

[oldad777]

A darling young lady, a very beautiful woman.

[siebentau]

To me this - and nothing else - is Miss Donna's best vocal performance ever. It all seems so easy the way she's doing it (I'm not talking about this video - this is lip-sync, no doubt) but this track is a goddamn challenging one.

If anyone needs proof that she was one of the greatest performer of the disco era - HERE IT IS.

And btw she looks adorable in here as always.

[allenreber]

i love this song and love Miss Donna Summer so much!!!!!!

[JORGEPSOUSA911]

Here's an oldie from Donna...nice!

[DEEDUBB1979]

Great Euro pop music from an amazing artist. No one sounds like her. Donna is my favorite female singer ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She is just simply amazing. No one can top her.

[doettaet]

I was looking for this superb song for a while, i love it. Quality never dies.

[squarezville]

sizzle of a song. love it

[acristina155]

Donna Summer Rules!

Donna Summer sempre arrasa! \o/

[adric137]

great music!

[strfruit]

i love vintage donna !!! this is so nice!!! thanks for posting :-)

[direktorium]

Oh wie herrlich! Ein Lied zum Immerwiederhören.

[Crimson0089]

I like singing this song ^^*

[zosinternational]

rechtstreeks uit v oekels disco hoek

[The096757]

if they changed the words this would have been a big mid 70s pop song when adult pop was very popular.

[Wilshire1118]

@The096757 this great song put Donna Summer on the map - in Europe - 'ADULT POP' ? Get real - just because Americans are such prudes; and I AM one.

[The096757]

@Wilshire1118

people like bobby vinton, glen campbell and the carpenters were having sucessful adult pop hits in the mid 1970s. this was a good song and if the words were changed maybe ti would have been a hit in the USA.

everyone would have thought the singer was white like they did for vicky sue robinson.

donna lost it after the late 1970s. new wave and madonna picked up where donna left off.

[burdlow]

The voice of an angel!

[craybee06]

she reminds me of early olivia newton john in this song.

[bingbong35]

Donna states in the liner notes/booklet of the double cd DONNA SUMMER ANTHOLOGY c1993 that Moroder and co wanted her to, "hit on a more pop vain and we'd work in the R'nB later..." I love the whole album and this would've been a chart topper stateside. I didn't know of Donna until 1978 when "LAST DANCE," "HEAVEN KNOWS," and "I FEEL LOVE"(1977) was still getting airplay on the radio in early 1978. I remember 'cause I was recording music off onto blank cassette tapes from the radio. LOL!!!

[bingbong35]

I was fresh from Manila, Philippines as I emigrated to Chicago and arrived in June 16, 1978-I remember music was what I loved even though I didn't know a lick of English then. Eventually picked up phrases and enough to get by, by the end of the summer('78) and into fall.

[TaranetsOrg]

That's a class, man, the real deal, you can imitate it, but never duplicate.

[Geenflauwekul]

Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder. The best!

[57Hanne]

Das ist die Musik aus den 70er, nach den ich immer getanzt habe, wunderschön, höre ich immer wieder gerne..

LG Hanne

[nestorito1965]

this is the first time I hear this song .All my life I thought the first Donna' song was" Love to love you baby".I liked this unknown theme specially the sound of those spanish castañuelas .

[ggfastback]

a KILOVE81 et les autres qui ne saurait pas,c'est le titre d'un album ressortis que contient de petites merveilles.a acheter donc ...

[MURPHNSPUD]

its euro pop

aim low lol nooooooo

look up josephine baker etc

pure class

i liked it

very 'caberet' non??

[fanzinhaaar57]

LINDA FANTASTICA LINDA !!

[DEEDUBB1979]

I have this titled album on cd. My favorite song is "FRIENDS" she has impeccable range in voice on that song. I like this song also. This was her european breakthrough before hitting it big in the U.S.

[mrjamestrinidad]

first time to hear this song but absolutely i love it!!! thanks for uploading it..

[mibo60]

Absolutely the best, can remember that video I watched when I was young.... thanks a lot.

Absolut das Beste, kann mich noch daran erinnern, dieses Video in meiner Jugend gesehen zu haben... vielen Dank!!!!

[dumahans]

DONNA SUMMER , het beste ooit op de nederlandse TV, uit de jaren 70 en haar echte doorbraak naar de TOP

[siciliansummer]

How would anyone have thought Madonna sounded black?

[latinguy67]

Madonna had an unauthorized tv movie made about her. in one scene she confronts a dj & music rep who discourage her from putting her face out there because of this. She was quoted as saying "so what? that's a compliment if ppl think i sound black." Donna Summer is amazing. Beautiful song. Thanks for posting

[webnight1]

Sem igual, maravilhosa e única!

[lklkhjhjdfs]

Great song of Donna Summer

[megan1668]

This song was never released in the US.

It made Donna Summer a STAR in Europe in 1974. Must have been too European for American tastes.

Will always be my favorite.

Thanks for sharing javibal.

[latinguy67]

that doesn't make sense since groups like ABBA experienced so much success stateside. The title might have been a little too suggestive for the hypocritical conservatives here. LOTN suggests prostitution. But then again, Lady Marmalade came out @ this same time. More than likely it was just a record label decision.

[rickenba]

That was deep, 096756 i felt what u said.,peace

[ladyaan]

very nice :o)

[yuna1602]

nice song , great voice....wow..

[Olii05]

:o)

[avancefarter]

Great sound !!! Never seen this before.

[minkajajany]

oh my god iv never seen this before i love donna summer

[XXquantooXX]

Fantástica Donna Summer!Diva!

[tankertel]

Errm.. I think it is " great "

white boy uk.. Terry

[maleadmirer]

It's a treat to hear this rare Donna Summer song. Also I've been curious to hear another rare song by Ms. Summer called Virgin Mary.

[tarikyahlip]

Absurdly brilliant! Apparently Moroder always urged Summer to sound "less black"... she almost sounds like Petula Clark here.

[Arikisei]

deluxe

[strfruit]

looove it! thanks.

[dcsdvd]

This was her second single following The Hostage.

She could have fit this on the "Bad Girls" album quite nicely.

You CAN actually dance to this. I have.

[SXTZ1]

I saw this on a James Last TV special (James last was a german variety show on TV and it showcased dozens of artists and dancers etc really brilliant choreography and costumes) :-)

[83survivor]

Donna Summer should release her performance videos, rare clips, etc. Please, Donna release all your music videos to us, Queen of Disco.

[Hdtex]

fierce....never heard this before

[briancooper2007]

thank for posting this. im a old fan and ive been trying to find this song for years.

[daveheel]

damn. where do you find something like this? :)

[pacificwestland]

Would you know who are the back up vocalists saying "she is the lady of the night"? Could it be Giorgio Moroder & Pete Bellotte?

[83survivor]

She had some success in Europe, but it was a taste of things to come. With Love To Love You, Baby would be Donna's mega-hit later on.

[sfdjmarcelino]

WOW!! Thank u 4 posting this video.

[replicas79]

traumhaft donna summer! traumhaftes lied!heute gibt es so etwas nicht mehr...schade...

[utajenk]

ich kann von diesem lied nicht genug bekommen,es macht mich süchtig

[utajenk]

ich höre dieses lied mehrmals am tag, es erinnert an meine jugend!

[PURPLEBEATTIE1]

Thanks for posting this song.I love this song and have not listened to it in years.Fab singer.Fab song.

[carlosmiller]

It's amazing to see the wonderful Donna Summer so young here at youtube!!! she is a Forever Diva!! I love you Donna!!

[Bearneeve]

I was 10 years old and that became the very first song I ever recorded (the old fashioned way of course)

[rufus317]

She looks alot like Vanessa Simmons (Rev.Run's older daughter) in this clip.

[fzkny]

What a gem!! Thanks for posting it! :-)

[mattratt512]

this is hard for me to dance to.

[rosbergs3]

I guess you are not a good dancer then!!!!

[cristabele]

you're not supposed to be able to dance to everything. Sometimes it's better to just be stil and take the music in!

[Patonight]

Top des Tops rare clip merci!

[rubenfiero]

Singing voice...Without the scary "Soul" of Aretha Franklyn

High notes ...Without the "In heat Cats making out" long falsettos of Mariah Carey

Beautiful presence...Without feathers , Glitter,Ruffle, dramatic entrances ..like Diana Ross.

Real vocal range and music talented....Without loser husbands like Whitney Houston."

[cristabele]

you are right! And that's because she was in Europe and not in the USA. The US will spoil anything natural..

[doorofnight]

@rubenfiero

but still no Annie Lennox

(joking)

[poeticjournalism]

@rubenfiero wow good job being a hater. can't we just like all those women without bashing them at the same time?

[MultiFunky2000]

@rubenfiero yes Donna has the most wonderful voice ever OUR LADY OF THE NIGHT

[djdiscobeats]

Love this song, I can see why it was a hit in Holland. Actually, I love her work back then.

[divalover2007]

was this from dutch tv ?

moet bijna wel

[BUweB]

what a Voice! Incredible great.

[ba001e6750]

Thankyou for posting!!!

[craybee06]

wow, thanks for posting. this is what makes youtube so special. i bet donna would be proud to know that this is here and in such clear and pristine quality.

[jgniagara]

Donna Summer was in the German version of Hair called "Haare" as Donna Gaines (her maiden name). She was making recordings with Georgio Moroder in Munich in the early 70's. She speaks German very well. I've seen her on ZDF television in Germany while on interviews.

[petie71]

Ariana: Where did you find this on CD??? I've been looking for ages. For this and for 'The Hostage'.

[KissFreak09]

I love this song but, it's a shame to find it anywhere. Cool Video !

[budelke]

Donna's career started in Europe with her first hit-single The Hostage, this one is the follow-up,

Lady of the Night, great song. thanks.

[KarinP62]

If searched everywhere for this video and now I found it here! So much memories are in this song. Wunderful! Thank you very much!

[ArianaMESS]

It took me years to find this song on CD and now I find a video. Thank you very much for that pleasure. My favorite song of Donna.

[abborna]

Woaw! So glad to see this at last. Thanks a lot, it's great. What a voice and a genuine talent

[rael1964]

very clean, clear video...have seen many copies of this, but this one is the best of them all....how do you have such a clear copy?????? thanks for posting.....hugs...

[canuckfuck]

Love it! It's very Motown meets Phil Spector meets ABBA. She kind of looks like Frida from ABBA (circa Fernando) with that hair. x

[jakalo]

Perfect and very beautiful song from Donna summer. From the early days in 70s. (The good old days)

[miraculi]

Great to see one of the earliest videos by Donna - this song is indeed an European classic.
