NEW YORK (Hollywood Today) 6/4/08 – “I felt like I was pregnant, pregnant and pregnant, but boy, when that baby came out…” Donna Summer told a packed house at downtown New York’s Mansion, which gathered under the disco ball Tuesday night to celebrate last month’s release of “Crayons,” her first full-length studio album of new material in 17 years.
After taking a moment to wipe her tears in response to the enthusiastic clubgoers, Summer, 59, began her hour-long set with her 1978 hit MacArthur Park, followed by one of her newer works, “I’m a Fire,” which reached the top of the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart on April 19.
Summer then delighted the audience with an energized rendition of her 1979 single “Bad Girls,” which preceded a performance of “Hot Stuff,” in which the “Disco Queen” raised the microphone stand high above her head in a musical duel with her guitarist.
The sultry singer then treated the masses filling Mansion to two more numbers off of her new CD, “Science of Love” and “Stamp Your Feet,” before surprising the room with an a cappella performance of the popular and oft-covered Charlie Chaplin composition “Smile.”
