Donna Summer: Last Dance

Harry Connick Jr. one night. Donna Summer Sunday night. She was, like, 30 times better than this excellent video. It was a transcendant and unforgetable performance. Imagine her voice duskier and a lower pitch but more volume. Imagine her singing 15 feet away from you. I was a shaking fool.

Harry Connick Jr. one night. Donna Summer Sunday night. She was, like, 30 times better than this excellent video. It was a transcendent and unforgettable performance. Imagine her voice duskier and at a lower pitch but with more volume. Imagine her singing 15 feet away from you. I was a shaking fool.

The PBS show where she appears: Great Performances: Hitman Returns: David Foster & Friends, premieres in March.
