    She's at her 60's and still belts like she's just 18. She sings with class, have amazing vocals and control. I love your music and your good spirit. This lady is a "SINGER!!!" Today the definition of singers are those who wear Halloween costumes, teen boys who look like tomboys and those who sings crappy lyrics. RIP Donna Summer thank you for the Last Dance and for the "CAKE".

    On this day in 1978 {May 27th} Donna Summer performed this song on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand...
    Two weeks earlier on May 13th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at #3 and spent 21 weeks in the Top 100...
    It reached #5 on Billboard's R&B chart...
    And it won an Academy Award & a Golden Globe award for "Best Original Song" from the movie "Thank God, It's Friday"...
    Sadly; Donna Summer passed away on May 17th...
    R.I.P. Ms. Summer and Mr. Clark...

    This will never be repeated! Glorious voice, luscious tone, powerful projection, musicality. Great orchestra and conductor, mesmerised public! THAT must have been THE most exciting rendition of 'Last Dance' EVER. What a splendid voice! Nobody will ever come close to THAT Donna sound! Remember that she has been classically trained: no doubt we can appreciate that in her unique style. Her voice was HUGE, unlike the current crop of would-be divas (Donna never considered to be one). MAGIC! RIP.

    She had style, she had grace, and with that smile, gave good face! What the Rock Establishment too too long to recognize, the rest of us knew years ago: the woman was THE QUEEN. At Rama (north of Toronto) the crowd was yelling how fab she was, and yet she stood there laughing, saying that "we didn't live with her" and didn't know what she could be like first thing in the morning. What self-depracating humour, what a lady, what a songstress. She invited the WORLD to dance - what an ambassador of joy!

  • @musicmixesforyourheartsoul4129

    Please pay attention to the conductor. It's another highlight of this show! The look at the conductors face: the intense concentration and the passionate look in his eyes, his potent gestures while conducting, his whole face oozes of the satisfaction he is feeling...the sweet smile at his mouth expresses the almost orgasmic experience he is having while conducting what irrefutable is the most exceptional musical performance of his life! :-)

    She was approximately 60 years old when this concert was filmed and she still sounds like she did her in glory days (which were glory days for so many of us). She proves that true talent doesn't fade and we all feel better knowing her voice is permanently a part of our memories. This is a voice that will never be silenced, not even with her early death. God bless you Donna Summer.

    Some people experience similar feelings. However, that may indicate that you need psychological help. The pain goes deeper because emotionally you connect something in your life with her music. I grew up in this era and when I hear her music it only makes me want to dance all night with my wife. But crying is never one of those feelings. Crying is part of our emotional expression. You may have some emotional pain deep in you and you must let go. Life goes on.
