- Donna Summer at the Hollywood bowl sings a carpenters song Superstar. Amazing vocals as expected by Donna. A Heartwarming display of talent and nostalgia.

Miss Summer's voice went from soft to majestic.
Just short of miraculous. I hope all those in attendance realize how blessed you are to have been there.
Donna left us way too soon, she was only 63, you are loved and missed by millions Donna, rest in God's care Donna. Just wonderful seeing Richard playing the piano, excellent performance.
This made me cry. The power of her vocals is unsurpassed. She never even squints, it just blows the roof off. Been loving her since I first heard Love to Love You Baby. She was never as fabulous as when she broke away from the record labels, although she was absolutely fabulous from the start. I'm so lucky to have been born into her musical era. What a loss for us still here.
I can't imagine another singer who could have done justice to the powerhouse that was Karen Carpenter. Donna Summer was in a class by herself and not only had the vocals, especially in the lower register, but also the respect and class to pull this off. It's really sad that these two great ladies left us in a world of Katy Perry's and Taylor Swift's.
I was able to see Donna sing this tribute live here in L.A. in 2010. I remember having goose bumps the entire time she sang. Her voice was out of this world. There will never be another voice like hers.
Did she say, "It's getting cold up here"?
Goose bumps....all over... from Donna's First note
Donna is once again outstanding. Miss her so much.
This is great even Donna herself loved the Carpenters like all of us did.😁
Rare, beautiful and iconic. I had tears in my eyes in the end...Richard Carpenter on the piano & Donna Summer singing lead on an anthem from the early 1970's.
Donna's one of the best. RIP
2022. Still perfection
Beautiful..she could sing anything. Donna Summer was a tremendous Vocalist and songwriter.
Who the heck is cutting onions, im trying to watch this video 😥
The ABSOLUTE BEST tribute to Karen! There are so few singers who would even try to sing this, never mind pull it off! This would be the perfect song at the Kennedy Center Honors with Karen in the audience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Donna was very special. Loved Karen and she was special too. We lost both too soon ❤️
I love everything about Donna Summers she sang a beautiful song God bless her
I read somewhere that Karen Carpenter was a big fan of Donna's and wanted to do some "Donna Summer type" songs on her solo album.
God bless you Donna, how unselfish of you and classy of you to give tribute to The Carpenters. RIP sweet lady...
Hopefully Karen and Donna are harmonizing up in heaven together...🎤🙂🎶
This song suits her so much wish she’d have recorded it she’s such a huge loss to the music world
One of the Most Awesomenest Covers ever!!!
I would have loved to hear Donna sing Rainy days and Mondays by the Carpenters.
To see Richard Carpenter playing this again - so haunting - it brought back so many memories of Karen & now both she & Donna are gone.
She sounds perfect here!! This is the way I like her to sing!!
This is so touching because Karen and Donna are my two favorite singers!!!! So when she sings this it's a dream come true!!!
WHY ON EARTH DID I WATCH THIS! IM A CRYING MESS NOW,BECAUSE HEARING DONNA SING A SONG LIKE THIS IS A REMINDER OF HOW GREAT SHE WAS & I CRY BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE HER HERE IN THIS LIFE TO SOOTH ME WITH HER VOICE. SHE WAS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE A VOICE THAT WILL NEVER BE MATCHED I LOVE YOU MY DONNA DEAREST!
i feel your pain my friend,i am crying also,it took me 2 years to listen to Donna,s music after she passed.stay strong and keep being that great friend unknown.peace to you my friend.
Dang she can sing anything. Very good
Donna & Karen singing duets for the angels!
Absolutely awesome performance, amazing vocal from Donna and a great Tribute to Karen.
great voice great cover ... makes me sad Karen or Donna are no longer with us...but they are singing with the Angels now!
What a gift they both were...
one hundred percent class....
Would make a fabulous duet with Karen and Donna playing two separate women.
I forgot how the original version sounded, mainly because of the Luther Vandross arrangement, but Donna did a great job. The horns made it feel vintage and as classic as songs go.
Donna's version here was fairly close to the Carpenters. Even her vocal tempo was very good. I thought maybe DS would sing it a bit too fast. But she pleasantly surprised me...🎤🎶🙂
Karen would have said.... A Disco Queen? Fabulous! This bought years to my eyes
Karen would be so very proud. Donna did such an awesome job covering this song
j8464m I was going to say the same thing. Karen was smiling down.
Both The Carpenters and Donna Sommer did this as a cover. It is a Delaney and Bonnie song.
Donna if you read this, we need you to release an album of old standard like this song. No one can reach your level when it comes to dance songs that now have become evergreen. Your voice has such range and strenght still, please give to your fans who still adore you a bit more of summer to come home to. Bring joy and love to our hearts once again, please!!
Wow ....thank you Donna.
Donna could make any song sound more vibrant with her unique voice.
Such sad news. I saw Donna perform this set live here in LA. It was amazing.
Great version by Donna
After the tear are gone, you'll still be here with us, those who won't let go of your memory. RIP Donna 5.17.2012.
If there is a heaven, can you imagine all of the great singers performing in harmony - that's an angelic chorus, for sure (Etta James, Donna Summer, Karen Carpenter, Janis Joplin, Sarah Vaughn, Billy Holiday, Amy Winehouse, Judy Garland, on & on & on....)
Donna Summer A True Superstar!!! R.I.P My Beautiful Empress!....
Lovely! "You said you'd be coming back this way, baby!" Wished you'd come back this way, Donna. but you were needed in God's heaven and you now join Karen as you sing this to us from your new home. So very awesome to see Richard again. The orchestra was really feeling this one. Thanks for sharing. Great clip!
Donna is for me the queen beside Karen...the best two female voices in the world...
Wonderful wonderful wonderful.
The both sang forward, with a lot of resonance, and sweetness.
For eternity ...
just beautiful,cant say anymore.
Life is so precious you appreciate it while it is here. When it’s gone it’s gone. No angels. No mythical man in the clouds. Period. So appreciate the talent while still alive knowing their recordings will live on.
Not sure about a mythical man in the clouds but Jesus is alive in Heaven, and I'm looking forward to meeting him when it's over.
Fantasic
Must have been strange for Richard being part of that song again, with the same arrangement, but not hearing Karen. Donna sounded great too...
The Hollywood Bowl didn't even record this to make it available on a cd or anything. Lost opportunity:(
Donna and the carpenters. What an association.
damn the tears are falling now.....
The 3 GREATEST female vocalists to come out of the '70's: Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, and Donna Summer. All had great range and powerful voices and could make you shiver when they sang. They are so close in my mind, all legendary. I hate comparing them, but I have to give a slight edge to Donna!! There will NEVER be another like her. NEVER! She was the G.O.A.T (the greatest of all time.)
Agree with you 100%!.. I was there for this night. I had goosebumps the entire time.
I love this so much!
Great tribute to Karen, her signature song, I think, RIP Donna.
Im addicted to Donna, its very sad to watch this vid 😢
So am I
Absolute GOLD!
Such a beautiful woman and a lovely voice. Donna has been in the music business for decades, yet she looks more beautiful than ever in 2010. What a great career from disco to contemporary music.
Hermosa y Única la Interpretacion de esta Inolvidable y Exitosa Canción de los Carpenters,,la Audiencia lo ha Reconocido y Nosotros sus Fans también,,Viva la Reina Donna Summer,,Siempre Vivirá en Nuestros Corazones 💖💞💝💘💌🙏🙏🙌🙌🇵🇷🇵🇷💋
Donna I hope for all your fans u finish ur standard album n dance album because u truly sound so Amazing in this rendition of Karen Carpenter Superstar!! May u both R.I.P missing you.......
Incredible! Thanks for posting!
That was Karen's brother, Richard, that came out and sat down down at the piano. What a effing treat for everyone. I thought the music was really spot on when it started. Of course it was. Richard was the arranger of all their music. I'm stoked..
Lindo Maravilhoso momento !
what a sad news, rest in peace miss Summer. I miss you........😭
PERFECT
How could someone so great and beautiful end before her time?
Fantastic.
Instrumental is RIGHT ON!!! GREAT JOB MZ.DIVA DONNA,SEE U IN HEAVEN,,,, HEAVEN KNOWS
I love you Donna, Richard was never going to be the same, as is evident here. Miss you as much as Karen, Baby ! !❤
Now Donna is hanging out with Karen up there.
up where? in the attic?
In heaven.
When Karen talked to record producer Phil Ramone about what kind of songs she wanted to record for her solo album, she specifically cited Donna Summer and "Hot Stuff" and how much she would love to do a song like that.
THE WORLD HAS LOST ANOTHER GREAT SINGER,BUT SHE IS SINGING TO HIGHER AUDIENCE,NOW! SHE IS SINGING WITH A HIGHER CHOIR!!
MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE FEMALE VOCALIST OF "MY GENERATION"!!! I'M SO DISTRAUGHT,I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S GONE. (MY IDOL)>>>R.I.P
The late donnr summer singing carpenters
Fantastic!
The real real queen 👑 RIP my queen 👸 l miss you every day 😢😢😢😢
It doesn't get much better frankly.
Similarity between voices, would love a studio version
so beautiful
Thank God we have several great recordings / videos of this. I was there that night but my memory card maxed out just as this started. I hate when that happens.
I will bring this song when I go to heaven.
dang...goosebumps from the very first note
Donna Summer will be missed by all who ever listened to her voice. AMA should be ashamed of themselves for not giving her credit for her contributions to the industry. David Jones, Etta James and Donna Summer were all excluded from mention for more time with "todays" so called talent.
AMAZING! MISS YOU DONNA AND KAREN!
Donna canta tudo muito bem!
Hubiera sido grandioso que hubiera grabado un album de covers una grandiosa voz
Sempre linda e maravilhosa!!!...inesquecível.
love Donna
Donna Summer had the quality of voice that she could sing just about anything. She could hit low notes, she could hit high notes, and she could hold notes out. She was a perfect choice for this song, and what a great tribute to Karen Carpenter, and the chance to perform with Richard Carpenter.
That said, Richard was twacked out and I hope he gets help and lives his best life until the final curtain comes down.
The Carpenter, punching that piano, POW!!!
Beautiful..
voce é demais Donna Summer
WOW, absolutely amazing!
Karen died at 36 while Donna died at 63, may you legends rest peacefully
RIP to the Queen of Disco. Outstanding job of an amazing song
Totally classy
@serflo59 I so agree with you, she still sounds amazing, and songs like these show what she is really capable of, instead of trying too hard to follow current trends, that don't do justice to her vocal talents.
Dos grandes artistas como Donna Y Karen Carpenter son inigualables, únicas.
