Thank you for keeping this song alive. I"m 72 years young and have heard every version of this song and you and your team have raised the banner. Thank you

The algorithm gods have smiled on me & somehow brought me to this amazing rendition. Absolutely blown away. Stunning!

I am 63 years old. This is my all time favorite song. I could listen to it every day. I’m going to have it played at my funeral! 👍👋

The orchestra. Amber. Amber. Amber. Effortlessly sang a Donna Summer classic with respect. Brava Ms. Riley.

Donna Summer is smiling from heaven and passing the torch to you Amber‼️

Outstanding. Hands down, the best interpretation of the Donna Summer version, in the 46 years since the 1978 original. It honors and respects Jimmy Webb, honors and respects Donna Summer, and with Micah's piano flourishes and Amber's voice, takes new directions and makes it their own. Came out of nowhere, and made my day!

Finally an adequate song and arrangement for Amber Riley - almost shed some tears - so great to hear her voice again ❤

I remember the Donna Summer Live & More Concert in the late seventies in Hollywood, California. It was a sold out performance and while mainstream media was declaring Disco was dead, Our Queen was selling out performances in major cities from coast to coast.

This is a fantastic cover, thank you Amber, Micah, and ensemble.

❤❤🧡🧡💛💛💚💚💙💙💜💜🖤🖤🤍🤍

Finally we are starting to see Amner Riley again. One of the best talents around.

[ElectroWow]

Wow, this cover deserves a Grammy. 😍❤

Micah and Amber....what a wonderful rendition of this song and a tribute to the one and only Donna Summer❤

[markmacdougal]

Donna Summer's MacArthur Park is one of my all-time favorites, a remake of the Richard Harris single from 1968. I generally don't look favorably on cover versions on Donna's take but I think Micah and Amber have really nailed this. I just love it.

Amber Riley takes Donna Summer's rendition off to a different planet. This isn't just mimicking, this is icing on the cake that melts in the dark, because it is hot, hot, hot.

All of the previous comments have said all I can say. I can only say thank you to Amber, Micah, the orchestra, and the countless number of musicians and technicians that made this happen. This is a stunning, award-winning production. - On a personal note, I happened to be in Manhattan in 2008 when Donna did a very impromptu mini-concert in Times Square. This Mississippi boy was so thankful she graced my presence. This video is such a gift. All my love to us who enjoyed it.

Her voice, Micah's piano, the orchestra, its poetry.

[Krieky]

This needs to become a classic just like the original!

[dangerwilrobinson]

What a smashing cover of one of my all-time favorite songs from my childhood, but I still always wonder why someone would leave a cake out in the rain.

[jamesperretta]

This makes me long for beautiful Donna and a 1978 dance floor again.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The orchestration, arrangement and Amber’s vocals just took this classic to a whole new level! I also love that you can hear Micah’s amazing talents in the song and they aren’t buried under the orchestra! Love this! Great Job to all that made this masterpiece of music! ❤❤❤
