    'The Queen of Disco.' This Song didn't Grow on Me of How Much Awesome this Song is Until a Couple of Years ago. It's One of My absolute Favorites.

    MacArthur Park is an actual park located in downtown Los Angeles. You may have seen it on television without knowing it. It features a lake lined with palm trees. The "cake in the rain" bit confused me back when too, but apparently it was what the song writer saw in the park the day he wrote this song.

    AMAZING Donna!!!!!! One of the HARDEST songs ever written - 4 timing changes - 3 key changes and those dreaded 1/32 notes!!!!!!!!! What truly set Donna apart from all other female pop singers, besides her incredible voice and beauty was that she could still sing every note the same 40 yrs later!!!!

  • @terrystorey

    When you saw her perform live you would get goosebumbs in places you didn't know you could. Her voice was a primal force of nature and it vibrate through your whole body. It can't be described you had to experience it . I wish Empress that you could have but at least we have videos of the Queen working her magic. She had a lot more than 'disco moves!' She was the real deal and one of the kindest and most humble people ever. Her concerts were lovefests . I met her many times and she was so sweet and so beautiful. The air around her seemed to crackle with her power! Just amazing!

    As someone who loves all things sweet, the idea that someone would leave a cake out in the rain harms my soul! Love this song!

  • @moonstone1159
    @moonstone1159 Před 2 lety +5

    I believe the actor Richard Harris sang 'MacArthur Park' originally in the late 60s. The lyrics are imagistic and metaphorical about a lost relationship, the central metaphor being a cake (i.e. relationship) which took a very long time to make but is now disintegrating (i.e. frosting melting) in the rain. It became a classic from that era. Donna, of course, made it into a magnificant disco hit! Richard Harris was a very good British actor who became well known in the U.S. for his role in the 1970s film "A Man Called Horse." It was a fantastic film and story.

  • @shonaharris9328
    @shonaharris9328 Před 2 lety +8

    This song was written by Jimmy Webb 1968 and famously first song by Richard Harris 1969. Then sung by Donna Summer 1978. Donna put a beautiful spin on it. I like Harris’s version too.

    When I was 10 we lived in a duplex. Our neighbor was big into disco (esp Donna Summer) and because of his haircut, we called him the Disco Duck (kids). Every night he'd get off the late shift and we could tell what kind of night he had because he'd play either MacArthur Park or I Feel Love. My mother was pissed but honestly it helped me get over my fear of sleeping alone. Especially when he'd play "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. XD

    Woo hoo!!!! LOVE IT!! I was going to say you should listen to the studio version too because, of course, it's fabulous! ;) If you do, try the MacArthur Park Suite. It's about 16 or so mins. long and covers the songs One of a Kind and Heaven Knows :)

    Saw her live in 1996, every hit and never never missed a note. I’ve rarely seen a poor concert with vocals like that live. Gaga and Barbra both hit their notes as well. The chick from the Cranberries was phenomenal live too.

    I was at this concert! One if the best she ever did. She always had a full orchestra back then, and also several concerts in the 90s and 2000s. Sounded just like the album. This is an incredible cover of a song that was originally pretty horribly by Richard Harris. It's a masterpiece.

  • @DanCrowleyNYC
    @DanCrowleyNYC Před 2 lety +4

    Even though my favorite Donna Summer song changes constantly, this MAY BE my absolute favorite, though I do prefer the longer version that has that amazing bridge that gets cut from all the shorter versions. (I just get all the feels on the "there'll be another song for me, and I will sing it" etc through the end of the bridge with the "after all the loves of my life, you'd still be the one, and I'll ask myself WHY" - it's a long bridge so I understand cutting it for a short performance, but it brings the emotion out of the song for sure.)
    If we're REALLY talking, the nearly-18-minute MacArthur Park Suite which also includes One Of A Kind and Heaven Knows would be my top top fave, but I do absolutely LOVE the vocals on this version that you watched, and this is the version I keep in video rotation at the bar I work at in NYC. Short and sweet, but those vocals slay and the gays that come to my bar are always loving her voice here!

    • @lamusiclover2264
      @lamusiclover2264 Před 2 lety +2

      That's why. I requested this because people today don't know what a real live performer who can SING is like anymore with a fully live orchestra. You have to hear
      Donna live to know how she sounded live. As good as the record. NOW she can hear the whole 18 minute Suite, but it's too long for a reaction video.
