@stephenrichmond917 isn't she beautiful 😍 have you noticed she never looks up at the audience, but still held her confidence, loved Donna, and thank you for replying ❤️
CHILLLSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. So poignant, Donna's daughter opening up the song, then singing with her mom, with such power!!. AND then the rest of the fam comes out. Rest in peace Donna Summer, at home with the Lord. Your going home took a piece, of so many of us, with you. Thank you for showing me what true greatness looked like.
Was that some of her family? She does thank daughter Mimi and her nephews & neices in the closing credits. I thought the folk at the end was her band and the acts (e.g.Musical Youth) who'd played on the set-list that night?
@@durtyragoux cheers bud! I was just a bit curious... but not enough to re-watch the end credits again. Because they dressed the backing singers as black diner 'waitresses' and there was some very young children, I thought she'd portrayed the final stage as "normal, average everyone". That was just my first, and only, impression. ymmv? 👍 🙂 Cheers 👍 P. S. If you reply (again) I'll end up re-watching the credits again slowly. 🙄 🙂
This song out of no where on uTube. I'm glad it did because Babylon/America & the World needs to hear this beautiful song by Donna Summers plus her family, band, singers etc. Just beautiful & the lyrics overall. Donna, rest in peace with the almighty God in his heavenly kingdom. ❤love❤
People don't understand the power of this whole song the lyrics the meaning the love in it is amazing. Since I was the same age as her daughter when this came out I have loved it since. Sometimes I wake up and it is calling me to listen to it ❤️
This Lady knew how to take us to church! She was and continues to be (through her music) a blessing from God. This❤️song❤️never❤️fails❤️to❤️move❤️me!!!
❤❤❤❤❤I ĺove her as well as her songs. She & God in the name of Christ are & always will be in my heart forever!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ R.I.P. Donna, I will never ever forget you & through your being & your music, I will ɓless the Lord for as ĺong as he let's me draw breath. Thank you for being my idol!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Wow. Could you just imagine Jon Anderson being invited out on stage to sing that with her? They would have sounded so incredible together. She really kept the spirit of the original Jon & Vangelis recording, too. Such a magical piece of music and Donna Summer did it justice!
My God, I swear I watched this performance literally every day as a young kid. Donna was my first favorite singer, and I had this home video. This was like a ritual for me from the time I was about 7 to 8 years old. Something about the song always enthralled me, and seeing her daughter up on stage with her fascinated me, too. I'm glad that I found a clean copy of the VHS again a few years back (I wore out the first long ago!)
I first heard this song when I was nine. Dad had bought a VCR and his workmate gave him this concert on VHS. It was one fun show. We sang and danced to along. Then this song played and I just burst into tears. My sister and Mum thought it was the weirdest thing. I couldn't articulate what it was then. Now I can. It was the only way my young mind and soul could react to a work of such beauty. It was visceral and divine. Thank you Lord for blessing us with Donna Summer. Dang, I'm crying again.
Yes, so good to recall this great sounf of Donna and a wondeful Band and children , too much nice, as A Beazilian Fan always woth it to watch her Donna is a great Treasure of the real good music......forever....Missing her....
Ma che Donna....meravigliosa, bellissima, dalla voce Unica e strepitosa!!!!! Indimenticabile DONNA..... Ti Amo..... Questa canzone mi commuove tanto, cantata da lei....❤❤💔
One of thee best songs ever, full stop. A extraordinary lady who was a super vocalist and so so hot . Theme from The Deep and Loves Unkind were also top drawer
That's your opinion. The facts are that this version is much more accessible and simple while Vangelis and Jon's version was much more complex musically. Accessible always "wins" with the majority. All versions are great. But the original has my utmost respect.
I am! I LOVE this song, always have. I heard it for the first time on the tv special this video came from. I found it so intense it made me cry - to this day, it makes me cry when I hear it. It is a deeply spiritual song for me. I couldn't find out the name of it but one day in 1992 on the radio was this song performed by Moodswings. Thank you, Donna Summers.
A rarity compared to todays artist who seem to enjoy putting themselves above thier audience. Donna and others who are real artist enjoy sharing and becoming one with the the audience.
Wow I never seen this video before. I am a Donna summer fan for many years. She may have left us but she will be in every one heart's including mine for this classic hit with other hits. I hope she has a place in music hall of fame.
I am a UK National, although my son lives in Nashville, USA. I visit twice a year so know Tennessee quite well, and just tracked down Donnas place of rest outside Nashville, so therefore will visit a place of rest and lay flowers, and pay my respect and gratitude on behalf of her fans in the UK, once this COVID ban lifts.
March 21, Great anthem for the coming together of HUMANITY, in Unity we stand against this absurd insult to our collective intelligence, what would Jesus say... 🙌🙏🌟
Damn, I just got up, got inspired to post a link to this to a friends fb page and I'm in tears.. not heard it in a while.. an amazing song, just stunning.. an anthem
My soul was born with these two parents...My tender and delicious Donna Summer and the fabulous Barry White. My aunts and uncles were from Philadephia Sound and Tamla Motown.
Thank god, I am part of a generation that can fondly reflect and enjoy Donna Summer's trademark 70s hits. Clearly a defined elegant diva in a class of her own. Along with Diana Ross. She defined elegance that seems to be missing in today's music culture. This HBO special, I remember my family crowding around the TV to see Donna Summer. Thanks for the upload, reminded of fond memories, 70s and 80s.
'Brought tears to my eyes when she quoted John 3:16 'For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son and whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but shall have everlasting life'
It's quite disgusting to glorify human sacrifice! This could have been truly a great song but she likes so many others are indoctrinated in this bs. So indoctrinated and so brainwashed she don't even understand what she's really saying, that she is okay with human sacrifice. It's sickening! She's so damn talented but so brainwashed
I remember this concert coming on HBO when I was a kid. My Mom video taped it & she played it over & over again. This is 1 of my many favorites by her. May she R.I.P. ✝️🕊🪽🐑🙏😇🖤
My favorite song of hers. We baby boomers are SO SAD to hear the news of her passing. SHE was the 70's. The greatest time musically & the funnest time of our lives! God did we have FUN. No worries...so carefree. Todays kids have NO IDEA what they will never experience. We had it SO much better. And those disco's were a BLAST to go to. Always packed & EVERYONE dancing their hearts out.
Tell your Dad you love him. Tell your mum you love her. Tell your wife. Tell your husband. Tell your sister and brother. It's too late to tell them when they are gone. We love you Donna, god bless. Yours is a special talent and dignity that will always live. Rest In Peace. x
She died in 2012 from lung cancer. Some attributed to heavy smoking as a young girl, and some to the 9/11 World Trade Center attack. I just cry when I think of the loss of this beautiful, extremely talented woman. Love the music! ! R.I.P. from a fan in 2020
I was rehearsing classical music for my choir, and this came up. I have listened to it many, many times...... so moving. I remember first listening to this on Mr Cairo, by Jon and Van Gelis..... but this is on another level. Truly great, and heart rending.
Man I remember watching A HOT Summer night by the late Donna summer on HBO back in )1983 I was just three yrs old she was the queen of disco/ R&B/ and pop She worked very hard for the money, had dimmed all the lights, looked for hot stuff, created a dinner with Gershwin, and yes she was a very "Bad Girl" Cause this time we knew it was for real.😊
This is what America needs right now
The WORLD
my words exactly
@@mcmaximon1
still goosebumps in 2024, love you donna
This is music. This is a singer. This is a voice. This is Donna Summer!!!
Well said
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just look at her, no plastic surgery. She was so natural and beautiful. May the Good Lord God bless her soul.
Absolutely Perfect. Donna Summer was so much more than the Disco Queen.
I don't know why but this song always makes me tear up.
I can understand that Paula wishing you well .
Me too .. I remember watching as a kid when her concert came on HBO…Such a beautiful and powerful song ..Soo many memories 😭

I friggen Love Donna Summer ! She was truly a Star and still is ! Love her !
Lovely song so well performed by Donna and her daughter. Thanks Jon and Vangelis!

How many classics did this lady record? She leaves behind an amazing legacy and that voice was second to none. She was effortlessly brilliant

Dang, I'm crying again.
I love this song -- her voice is so clear and strong -- beautiful!
I love the graceful way that Donna works her way across the stage - a great voice, beautiful lady and so elegant. Sadly missed but never forgotten.
For me, the greatest voice in the last forty years in music industry. RIP my Donna
Having Michael jackson, Dionne Warwick Lionel Richie and more A listers as her background singers in this song just states how respected Donna was.
There is just something truly magical about this song ...
I honestly miss Donna Summer ❤
Yes, so good to recall this great sounf of Donna and a wondeful Band and children , too much nice, as A Beazilian Fan always woth it to watch her Donna is a great Treasure of the real good music......forever....Missing her....
Probably the most underrated song of all time absolutely top tune 😅
This is so cool. Donna sings with her daughter, everyone holds hands on stage, its so loving!
THIS magnificent song by a Wonderful Artiste will be played at my funeral :-) Saw Donna LIVE in London in 1978 - LOVE Her always
The beauty in this particular Soul is ❤❤❤
When ever I listen to this song, am move to tears.
Is amazing R.I.P. Donna Summer
The duo mother-daughter is amazing. Such power and 💕. Powerful song of praise of God for God
Listening in 2021, bought the CD in 1992. One of the greatest songs in music history, excellent performanced.
Ma che Donna....meravigliosa, bellissima, dalla voce Unica e strepitosa!!!!! Indimenticabile DONNA..... Ti Amo..... Questa canzone mi commuove tanto, cantata da lei....❤❤💔
I Love Love this Song and this woman ! Donna Summer is Fabulous and surely a Legend ! !
The best cover ever of a fabulous Jon and Vangelis songs absolutely outstanding
One of those legendary videos
Donna Summer was an inspiration with this song. The words are powerful with so much meaning. God Bless You and RIP Donna
My hiding place with disco ball in bedroom. Love memory. Ty 4 escapes.❤
One of thee best songs ever, full stop. A extraordinary lady who was a super vocalist and so so hot . Theme from The Deep and Loves Unkind were also top drawer
I was a kid watching this when it aired. I love this song so much
They don't make music like this anymore. Thank you Donna. We love you.
The best version of this beautiful song created by Vangelis and Jon Anderson. And what a woman Donna Summer was...
Donna Summer. Just WOW......seriously.......wow oh wow !!!!
I recall seeing that Special on television. You will always be my favorite Donna Summer Rip
Aw, I love she included Mimi! ❤
May the Spirit of God rest on you
His Love will follow you wherever you go
God bless her children . This is beautiful moment to share with mommy.
One of the best examples of a cover surpassing the original. Never fails to give me goosebumps upon goosebumps upon goosebumps :)
sorry the original. 100 X better
@@daniellastuart3145 I snicker in your general direction. You do realize your opinion only matters to you, right?🤣
@@daniellastuart3145 who sang the original?
@Bobos Jon Anderson and Vangelis
That's your opinion. The facts are that this version is much more accessible and simple while Vangelis and Jon's version was much more complex musically.
Accessible always "wins" with the majority.
All versions are great. But the original has my utmost respect.
I discovered this song yesterday on an 80s radio station. I’ve listened to it about 5 times since. What a song!
written by Jon Anderson of YES, I also like this version by Donna Summer.
@GDH1918. "And I looked, and I saw a new Jerusalem! " Donna got it.
Superb....what a singer she is...
Arguably one of the greatest cover versions ever.
She had the ability to bring everyone together.
Love this song, who's listening in 2019?
Still rocking this classic in September! Good Music is Timeless!
Simply awesome. Brings back memories of yesteryears.
Still listening and still telling people to view this. Outstanding voice and performance. Bless you Donna Summer.
Best of all time on my list; awesome!!
I am! I LOVE this song, always have. I heard it for the first time on the tv special this video came from. I found it so intense it made me cry - to this day, it makes me cry when I hear it.

I hope she has a place in music hall of fame.
Powerful words from the heart, so full of emotion and wisdom, it’s a great song, from a great artist
So so sad that she is no longer with us but her voice and music will never die !
If ever I could love someone I never met it is this lovely lady !
She is still with us. Listen, because the answers are in the silence.

Miss DONNA SUMMER so much , PURE RIGHTEOUSNESS , NUFF RESPEKT !!!!!!!!!!
When I hear this song, I never want it to end. It's so beautiful.
I probably watched this concert 100 times when I was a kid and this song was definitely the highlight. RIP Ms. Summer.
I can't believe how amazing she is live. She always manages to sound better than on record. She will be missed. Especially by me.
Thank you Ms Summer, really thank you.
