Donna Summer Album: “Nice to See You”

As others have noted, these songs have been released under multiple titles. One can hardly even tell that Donna Summer is singing on any of these songs.

Highly NOT recommended.

If you want a better Donna Summer "rarity", look for the "Lady of the Night" cd, an album recorded prior to her making it big.

If you already have "Shout It Out', you won't want to buy this album. It's the same thing with a different picture on the cover. A nice photo of Donna from her early years. And if you love the song "Nice To See you" you could pick this album up. All these albums, "Shout It Out', "Gold', "The magic Collection' are the same thing with different titles. But there are fans who'd rather hear Donna sing these demos than listen to her guest work with Liza Minnelli or Kiss. These demos are flooding the market and many fans collect them. you might enjoy this album if it's new to you.

Don't be fooled by the cover photo of Donna Summer on this album. She does very minimal centerstage solo singing here due to the fact that this was more a group or band effort ( don't know if it's the Munich Machine singers or other artists of the Moroder-Belotte family that are singing with her). Why this was ever released remains a mystery. It's a possibility this material was written before her Love To Love You phase or shortly after; There's very little if no information regarding copyright dates, liner notes, or production notes. The other vocalists are a little less enjoyable to listen to. Yet, when Summer does take the lead or background, she shines brighter than the rest of the team on this collaboration ! Buy it if you are nostalgically interested in Donna's earlier disco projects or offerings---However,don't expect her to be the lead vocalist here !

stop! do not buy this cd unless you are in the mood to be extremely disappointed! this cd has very little of donna summer's voice. The parts that do contain her voice are of such poor quality, that it makes an elementary school choir seem like professionals. I love just about everything that donna summer sings, because I love hearing her sweet voice. The problem with this cd, is that her voice is severely distorted, deleted in many parts,and is accompanied by awful back-up music!

Yeah, I'm selling this CD but I don't care if I do sell it. That being said, don't let that influence my opinion.

Having personally peaked through the Disco years, I must totally disagree with every other reviewer on this CD. After listening, while enjoying what I enjoy best, I find this to be the first Disco/Easy Listening/Psychedelic/Fusion CD I've ever heard. Yeah, you might ask, "where is she"? Close your eyes and you'll see her. Maybe think of her in the after life. But don't deny Donna her musical style.
