      I would have loved to see that German awe if she had kept the sexual panting and moaning (1:45-2:10) - but they have censored the song. Shame!

      Whats so strange abut it? May you stop believing old War propaganda of a racist german Culture. We had several black stars here in Germany. And it was absolute normal. I grew up with that.

      I understand that there is a language and cultural barrier between most European and American cultures.
      If you'd use your eyes, you will see the awe. Perhaps if that was the case, European history may not have been so bloody.

    Let me make this clear. Donna Summer eclipses them ALL. YES all of them. She is hands down in my humble opinion better than Aretha, Mariah, Celine,Whitney, Chaka khan, Patti, Tina Marie, you name it. Since her burst upon the music scene, Ms. Summer had such a unique, translucent, crystal clear, resounding voice with legendary range, and unlike those I mentioned and others I haven't, Ms. Summer didn't STRAIN or force her voice. It just flowed with such an other worldly projection and resonance that belied adequate description. She is the ONLY one whom I've heard who sounded 110 percent and more, PRECISELY as her studio recordings.
    The ONLY other female singer who accomplished that was none other than Barbara Streisand. Outside of that no one else belongs in the same zipcode mate, with Donna Summer. I will ALWAYS believe this.

      Perfectly said. Effortlessly. You never saw her strain her voice. Later when she couldn’t hit the notes she didn’t say “Let me hear you sing it” like everyone seems to do now! She would work around it.

    I'd never had imagined that she could speak German! Das war mir aber sehr toll zu entdecken!
