"Heaven Knows" is a song by American singer and songwriter Donna Summer, with guest vocals from Brooklyn Dreams released at the height of her fame during the 1970s disco era. It is adapted from the Live and More album where it is a part of the MacArthur Park Suite. It became a number 4 hit for Summer in the US[1] the week of March 17, 1979, and held there for 3 weeks. The song features singing by the group Brooklyn Dreams with lead vocals by Joe "Bean" Esposito.
On the single version released by Summer (credited as Donna Summer with Brooklyn Dreams), singer Joe "Bean" Esposito sings second lead to Summer, while Summer and the group provide backing vocals. However, on the version that appears on Brooklyn Dreams's 1979 album, Sleepless Nights, it is Esposito who sings the lead vocal with Summer singing second lead, with Summer and the group provide backing vocals. On the group's album, this version is credited as Brooklyn Dreams with Donna Summer.
A 12" single version, at 6:45, was released, the first verse sung by Summer solo, the remainder with Summer and Esposito
Donna Summer continuously kept her songs in the top ten. "Heaven Knows" is just one example.
The way her belting-moment works with the musical arrangements. Amazing!
This song is still fire. I believe the male vocalist is her husband. The man she was with until her death. I’m beginning to remember how her songs made me feel. She was a gift to music. Also somehow she was Kin to Bobby Brown
Oh wow I never heard that about her and Bobby being related
That was Joe Esposito;( one of her husband 's band mates). He also sang ," Piano in the Dark with Brenda Russell.
I Still Hear this every so often on the Radio. It is One of My Favorites of Donna's From the 70s Disco Era!
Great song! It was a No. 4 pop hit in 1978. Donna Summer's second husband, Bruce Sudano, is a member of the band Brooklyn Dreams, who is co-credited on this song. (The male singer you hear backing Donna up is BD lead singer Joe Esposito.) Bruce Sudano is a singer-songwriter-bass player-keyboardist, and he and Donna had two daughters together: Brooklyn and Amanda. Bruce is also the step-father of Donna's daughter Mimi from her first marriage. Amanda Sudano and her husband, Abner Ramirez, make up the folk-rock duo Johnnyswim. Bruce Sudano and Donna Summer co-wrote the song "Starting Over Again" (inspired by the divorce of his parents), which Dolly Parton had a No. 1 country hit with. Donna also recorded the song.
ah cool!
Great info! I love Johnnyswim.I did not know that Donna S. and Bruce S. wrote a Dolly Parton hit song. Donna was a true talent who is truly missed.
Queen Donna is no joke. Yes, always bringing that gorgeous vocal . She gives so much power in her voice. She is definitely one of the Besssst 👑✨👑✨👑
Donna SUMMER all year long! Yes. nice 2 see having so much fun,
🔥🔥
DONNA SUMMERS was the QUEEN in her day. Amazing vocalist and performer. Stellar! ⭐️🔥❤️
Only someone like you can appreciate the greatness of Donna Summer ❤️ kudos and thank you 🙏🌻
She has soooooooo many. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The dude singing is Joe (bean) Esposito from the group (Brooklyn dreams) her husband Bruce sudano was in🎸
IS HE SAME MAN SING PIANO IN THE DARK WITH BRENDA RUSSELL
@@diaquitaquita8984 Yes!
One of my favorite Donna Summer songs!!! Great reaction as usual Empress! 🥰
Thank you!!
Donna is FAB!! She's the real thing. So many proper hits unlike most female(and male) artists today.
Empress in order to get an even greater appreciation for this song you must, at your leisure, listen to MacArthur Park Suite. It starts with MacArthur Park then segways into one-of-a-kind and then segways into heaven knows and then segways back to MacArthur Park. A complete and ultimate MASTERPIECE. 👏🏽🔥👏🏽🔥👏🏽🔥👏🏽
thanks for the recommendation!
I have not checked if you've reacted to it yet...if you haven't, but sure to use the album version and not the 12"...they are just about the same length, but the album version is original, with the original mix of "Heaven Knows" that fits best within the piece.
This is the version you want:

THIS IS DONNA AND HER HUSBAND (BROOKLYN DREAMS) GREAT SONG !!!!
...this is the 12" remix version (extracted from the "MacArthur Park Suite" medley, consisting of 3 tracks); (white Male) Joe 'Bean' Esposito (from Donna Husband's group, Brooklyn Dreams) is the Male background singer (2:52)....It peaked #4 Pop April, 1979...
ah, #4 great song!
Rest easy Queen Donna 🙏
the one and only Donna 'Disco Queen' Summer the woman who brought Love & Joy to the dancefloor all over the world
I love seeing young people like Empress discovering these NYC radio classics. 92 KTU DJ Paco first dropped this when I 8th grade. Hearing this is going to make me get an Italian hot dog from downtown Newark next time I hit Jersey😎
THIS IS MY FAVORITE DONNA SONG!! Every song is amazing but this is my jam.
One of my favourite Donna Summer’s songs. I found out about it way after it was released, but fell in love with it instantly. A classic for sure! 🙂
It's so good!
Donna & Moroder is always magic. Love how they duet matching each other's vocals. The music and lyrics always 🔥then add Donna's vocals🔥🔥🔥💃🕺
yaaaas!
One of my favorite Donna Summer songs. I knew when the guy comes in, on 2nd lead vocals, I knew you were gonna be shocked. 2:42
hahaha you were right - wasn't expecting him
I love this version! I only ever knew the original radio edit and the short version that exists as the 3rd song in the 17:50 MacArthur Park Suite. That chorus is always a killer.
17 mins‼️🤯
Next, possibly? "Thinkin' 'Bout My Baby". It's a slow R&B jazzy song. Let's slow it down a little because Donna could bring a ballad as much as a dance groove.
Absolute 🔥 song and review! A disco classic from legendary Donna. There’s a shorter version, which was incorporated into the lengthy “MacArthur Park Suite”, but I prefer this extended version - as the song is just so good! So happy you liked this one Empress! 🌟🤩🎷
Wow ..a brilliant voice
That’s my girl. Never disappoints! Great bop! I’m glad people are requesting this Queen!
me too!!
NEVER heard this edit before!!!
This one always gets me. I wanna cryyyy 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 So fabulous
Thank you as always for your great appreciation of Donna. Growing in the 70's we were so blessed to have song after song after song from Donna, her albums were such masterpieces that truly took all of us on a journey. And let's not forget Donna had number one singles until right before she died. Yes she was the queen of disco, but she continued to put out amazing work until 2012.
i was a kid in Middle School when Donna's Last Dance came out and I've loved her ever since!! By the way, if you weren't aware of it, Empress, Donna may have had a humongous hit with MacArthur Park but DIana Ross and The Supremes had a really cool version of that song in the late 60s beffore Donna released it as a disco song in the 70s.. You would also like Donna's hit "This Time I Know It's For Real" from the mid 80s. It was dance but not disco. It fit the Club Scene in the mid 80s perfectly.. Donna was not just a Disco Queen, she was a well rounded Song Writer and Singer who started out as an actress in the Theater Scene..
Ahh the good days young people in 2022 and beyond will never know the true freedom of this time in life !!! FYI amazing video you have a special kinda energy!! We call that highly favored and blessed 🙌 down ever let anyone take that from you
Thank you!!!
first time hearing the solo version. Didn't even know there was one haha. Love it (love the duet a bit better tho. the energy is sick on that one)
ooh wait. it started solo... hmm..
lol i'm confused
Another great video, thanks for featuring Donna Summer. She's awesome. Can't wait for your reaction to her song "Love Is In Control (finger on the trigger)" from 1982. Take care.
Haha. I was just listening and bopping to this and not really watching. Then When I started watching you were (chair) dancing almost identical to me Lol. Where our platform shoes and Disco ball at? Lol. 😘
🤣😘
Queen of disco
🔥🔥
Happy New Year girl! Wow! Nice find! I have never heard this long version before!! It's part of the MacArthur Park Suite, which in about an 18 minute dance-a-thon :)
Happy new year!!
The Queen Donna summer takes over Empress channel and I couldn't be happier!To the patron who requests Donna could you request Fame and stamp your feet. I'd love to see how Empress reacts to Donna's voice as she got older.
@@RBS_ Does that mean you can't ask empress to react to them? i think that the album versions would be better for Empress.
HEAVEN KNOWS this is a def a Donna-bop for me! Donna is one of just a few artist that I can still listen to all day w/out burning out.
What a banger no surprise!!
This was actually my very first time hearing this version! I have the 45 (basically the 7" single mix), and that was even the Version on every Greatest Hits album of hers that I had, including a 2 disc set called Gold, but this version is definitely going into my playlist too.
The guy singer is from the band named Brooklyn Dreams, and they actually had a hit with a song called "Music, Harmony, & Rhythm" I would definitely say give that one a listen
Ok first Janet now Donna, I'm enjoying your start to 2022!!!! The two greatest dance divas of all time!! I'm dancing into 2022 like I got no cares in the world lol. Thanks Empress!!
Happy new year!! Glad you're having fun
I wanna go dancing with you, Empress! ;)
c'mon let's go! =)
Please please play her song Dim all the Lights! My favorite disco song fun back in the day
Empress...you're a singer...so explore!
thanks!!
That’s Joe Bean Esposito who was the lead of the Brooklyn Dreams
He also sang Lady Lady Lady from Flashdance, Your the Best from the karate kid
Music Harmony Rhythm with Brooklyn Dreams
He did numerous other works But he had a song with Donna Summer that was off the lost album I am a Rainbow
The single was I believe in You

No better way to start a brand new year than with an Empress reaction to another of Donna's 🔥classics. You should have thrown up 10s as soon as you heard those opening strings. 😛 This is one of the rare times when I feel the 4-minute album version bests the extended mix since it becomes just a bit repetitive towards the end, but perfectly suitable for the disco dance floor. The group Brooklyn Dreams (male vocals) is credited on the 45's label as "Donna Summer with Brooklyn Dreams".
Happy new year!! And I should have lol
You got a 12" mix I've never heard. It takes her husband, Bruce Sudano's voice out of the first verse and reruns all of the vocals.
Correction: The male vocalist is Joe Esposito. Both he and Sudano are in the backup band, Brooklyn Dreams.
“The woman in me” this song by DS is waiting for you in the wings. I hope you eventually can listen to this slow burn of a sexy ass slow song. Same album has a song called “Finger on the trigger” …a floor burner. Good day gf.
Can't wait💯‼️
Donna Summer had some great music! I've always loved this song. If she was still around today it would be interesting to see what some of these DJs today could have crafted for her to grace her diva vocals with. Happy New Year, Empress!
Happy New Year!
Not my favorite Donna song, but I still Love it She has so many great songs that even the ones I don't like as much are still incredible, if that makes sense.
that's when you know you're iconic
And girl can sangggg 🥰🥰🥰
More Karen Carpenter please!
