She always had her sisters and the backup singers singing like tidal waves, and she would surf on top of these waves like a dolphin. She was having fun with it, and the audience left with a fantastic experience.
It has nothing to do with my profile name, but if it does, I'm glad. Because dolphins are one of the most beautiful wonders in the world, so was her voice... now myself, if I can achieve half of the wonderfulness as either one of them, I'll be "cool". ❣ @@mommakat7361
It's never too late 🙂 Aretha is The Queen of Soul but she is far from alone in that castle. If you're just now discovering her, you're going to enjoy so many others! Start with any that you can find singing to music played by The Funk Brothers, e.g. Kim Weston, Gladys Knight, Tammi Terrell... I could go on and on.
I still watching this from a little city in Italy in 2023. If you're watching this, I really love U. We are the good part of this bad world. ❤️ Continuiamo a portare i valori nel mondo.
I like the fact that she even sings the backing vocalists part in silence while she is waiting to continue her part. It shows that she is totally engaged with the song and highly committed to her craft.
Although her genre is pop, her background gospel, her musicality is CLASSICAL and BRILLIANT -- only GOD-SENT and GENIUS !!! Hers is not a once-in-a-lifetime talent, but a once-in-a-history gift ...
When Aretha franklin began making the airwaves I was a little white boy, growing up in Memphis, Tennessee and swearing I would one day marry this passionate enchantress on the radio. I'm 65 now, and the woman and her voice still astound me.
Her voice brings me to TEARS! I said this before, Aretha was another star on the American flag. God bless this African American queen, she makes me proud to be a black woman.
Totally agree with you, Lucky, all the reasons to be proud, tears are also clouding my keyboard. Yet as a flat- feet white swedish male of 66 years old I can take a little pride from my 3/4 Jewish ancestry. Burt Backarack could write lyrics that appealed to virually everyone yet had a timeless mystical glow....Cant beleiive I grow up with this tune in the easy listening radio.
_egas calybird the Bible was a book written by a council of men who also dictated the laws of Europe in the Middle Ages. Thank God for science because without them, the Catholic Church would probably ban technology like the internet and you couldn’t watch TH-cam today. The reason for all of these technology and diversity in society is because the church is dying. A long time ago, churches didn’t want their parishioners to interact with people of different race, nationality or religion.
when Jesus died, he gave us the power to be saved and to never die. so no, you won't die and wait for judgment. reference the verse where Jesus told the sinner on the cross that he would be in paradise that night.
@_egas calybird many things were taken out of the Bible under Constantines rule many years ago. Though the scripture is inspired, it has been tampered with. Loom up the Nag Hammadi scriptures on Google and the Reluctant Messenger. Jesus is talking about immortality and reincarnation being the truth. The Bible is not to be understood literally anyway. It is to be understood metaphtsically. Do you really think Jonah was in the belly of a whale and lived to tell about it? Look up the 2 references I gave you and do not take my word for it.
She connects to her audience not only with her voice but wth an eye to eye contact. for the Queen of Soul knew that eyes are the window of our souls.. it goes deep inside.
Well I am a 55 year old white dude that lives in the south, loves AC/DC and old cars but damn, Aretha Franklin was just the very best! I remember hearing her music as a kid and it was great then. Now it's just incredible! Her voice is, well, no words can really explain how some of those notes just give you a chill. Stunning. Just amazing. Wow! Did I mention that it was really, really, really great! All kids ( millennials should be forced to watch this ) need to see this and real artist.
@@angeljohnson6665 bitch stfu with all that comparing shit! I see you everywhere comparing people, stfu and go Stan your flop ass face Ashanti, oops I mean Astankie 🤮🤢
I will always be listening to this legend. Young teenage girl back in the 70s, and falling in love for the first time listening to Aretha Franklin music and it’s 2024 and I’m here praise Yahshua!!
Dionne Warwick was NO SLOUCH.. I just kids now days knew what REAL talent was, THIS is a prime example of it,, so is the music from GREAT Mr Burt Bacharach &Mr Hal David..
Those amazing back vocals, are absolutely amazing. The dynamic between Aretha Franklin and them is way underrated. It's as if the backup singers have her energy and intentions.
@shibby22 Worth mentioning is that *in the chorus* -- both in this performance, but strikingly in the original recording -- it is Aretha who is singing backing vocals. In my listening, the intricate chorus, the interplay of the singers and their shifting in roles, is the most brilliant part of Aretha's version of I Say a Little Prayer. I am spellbound by the genius of it every single time I listen!
You have to say that Aretha probably had the most powerful voice of all, the greatest range and the most soulful. Nuff said. I’m so happy to have lived when she was here. Brilliant!
Somebody analyzed her vocals- she’s sometimes so (purposely) flat that she’s equidistant between 2 notes. Which just shows that being in tune isn’t the point for jazz/soul/rock/pop music.
@@whitneyhouston1122 I can only assume what he meant. Remember that in music a flat is the opposite of a sharp. He’s just stating that her vocal range could hit the notes and the in betweens
Had the supreme privilege of seeing Aretha --the Queen of Soul in a private concert--only 30 people in attendance in summer of 1966 in Bellevue Washington when I worked with Project Overcome...her music is a gift to us all...RIP
@@sanieisleam3225 The very best - her voice transcends octaves, but the "soul" is pure magic -cannot get enough and of course RIP my man, Mr. Malibu, Burt Bacharach, who quietly snuck jazz phrasings into modern pop and R&B in the seventies.
Amber Lawrence yes, it’s soooo great to hear Aretha interpret songs from pop songwriters such as Burt Bacharach. I wish she did many more! Well, I guess we all do!
PURE BLACK EXCELLENCE!!! SHE WAS, IS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE QUEEN OF SOUL!!!! BLACK MUSIC WILL NEVER BE THE SAME BECAUSE OF HER!! THANK YOU SO MUCH QUEEN!!! REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE!!!

Its unhealthy how many times I've watched and listened to this and still I cant seem to stop. Rest in peace queen you have totally hypnotized me and I'm loving every bit of. #Thetruevoice
THE greatest Female vocalist of all time and that’s that. Streisand is great but Franklin was, is an always will be the chairwoman of the board. Simply peerless, on a plain all of her own
Pope Of Atheism in her prime she was the best female singer ever! And she always will be! I put only Whitney in the same level! Everyone with ears knows that! Aretha is one and only!
I just 21 but would give anything to have been alive around the time of all the greatest talents were in their primes.. Aretha, The Supremes, Michael Jackson/The Jacksons, Prince etc.. If we get to make our own heavens, this would be mine.
I'm 71 and I had that privilege. It was an awesome time in music and in race relations in America. These talented people accomplished so much just by sharing their awesome talents with us all in America. I'm so grateful.
I can help to notice how pretty her skin looks. Oh she killing this song one of my favorite. My mother used to play this on the house when she cleaning. Miss you Mom.
She was very pretty, but that was also the days before high def TV. I think HDTV makes everyone look a little harsh and haggard, no matter how young they are!
+SoulSistahDiva I am with you. The Gospel in her voice is AMAZING. Such soul, passion, energy... I get a chill every time I watch this video. Very few do have that "over the top" soul in their voice... the ones that do... just Wow.
+William Trethewey Adele is not that good there's soooooo many people that can outdo her anyone in any city anywhere can do what she does. She's soooo regular. It just helps that she's white with power in her voice
+SoulSistahDiva You don't have to be black to sing soul. If it comes from the heart and soul, then its soul. Adele does soul differently than Aretha. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Just enjoy the music...
change is law. it's how God meant it so that way we know he is superior to any one of us. no amount of pretending can reverse or hinder this law. everything changes get used to it
If I ever feel a bit fed up, I watch this performance and soon have a smile on my face! Just astonishing, God blessed this woman with such an amazing talent, her range, her timing and phrasing is incredible, and she is beautiful.
One of the greatest singers in history. My mom showed me this when I was very young, and I only got back to her music too late...rest in peace, Aretha Franklin.
I was born 1960. Aretha gave me so much joy as I grew up during tuff times in Chicago. She was up on top of the very best female vocals that ever graced this earth.
@@Keenonf yes and her performance with her eyes and you can tell she really feels what she sings. Pure heart and soul. No one can match her performance. RIP Aretha.
not only was her singing performance a 10 out of 10, but she looked so amazing and her stare and smile melts me every time I watch this video. Aretha was amazing and we are so fortunate that we have these videos to watch ♥
OMG! This song was sung 50 YEARS ago and it's S*T*I*L*L so HELLA STRONG today in 2020! Thank you Queen Aretha for the power & of course the SOUL you put into your music! It gives me chills to hear your voice! It makes me feel so alive! Thank you for being so damn GOOD!
First time I’ve seen the young Aretha... WOW. I knew her voice was powerful and perfect but her stunning beauty and elegance here just make the performance unbelievable! She really is the queen.
A true natural woman, in South Africa we celebrate "Women's Month" - she was a great inspiration to all the women in SA, we love you Aretha, you were so authentic, loving, strong, risk taking and above all a voice for many centuries to hear, THANK YOU GOD, for giving us a woman with a natural voice, heart, mind and beautiful soul.
I'm a grown ass man. She still moves me to tears.
Same, grown ass woman here teary

RIP Burt Bacharach who wrote this legendary ballad, and sadly has passed away February 8, 2023 at the age of 94.
A genius. Good songwriters is what we're missing today. We live in a world where popular music is made by computers. And people buy that!
That voice is a gift from God
Rest easy Miss Franklin. I know you up there showing the angels how to really sing.
Bree Ree I was just about to say her voice was too big for this world
what if she was in hell
LG FlowerBomb wtf
LG FlowerBomb Kingdom of Heaven is in your heart!,, you'd better believe that.. Ms. Franklin is now resting in heaven.
Give it a rest, mate.
I always look at her Eyes every time she perform. Those eyes are so special. RIP queen.

We got bubble wrap Dionne, Stevie, Pattie, Smokey, Dianna Ross, Gladys,Chaka Khan, Anita Baker and Little Richard....now....Damn
I love that in the Chorus she let the Background Voices shine, she just complements it with her unique voice ... She is also beautiful too.
Modestly dressed, lovely, classy, joyous, joyful, self-possessed
R.I.P. Aretha your voice gave so much pleasure to so many
Rest in peace what a beautiful voice she did not scream but sang .
THE greatest Female vocalist of all time and that’s that.
Streisand is great but Franklin was, is an always will be the chairwoman of the board.
Simply peerless, on a plain all of her own
I absolutely love that "Chairwoman of the Board" 😂😂😂
You cant forget Ella and Etta... Their trio is magnificent
And Celine, Mariah and Whitney
@@ragelynsb6537 a level or two down id say, no offence
Id add Gladys Knight as well
Song always makes me think of my Aunt Margaret.. She loved Aretha and taught me to love her too
I really understand that people have a various and huge range of preferences, but God damn it, who dislikes this!?
I know, this is so amazing, how could it be anyone????
Right? Some people are just dead inside, with no emotions. That's the only reason why this music would not move you.
Ignorant people of course!
Racists, atheist and tone deaf hoes 🤦🏾♀️
Young trolls with no perspective
That diamond on her finger is FIRE!
Erica Reaves yes
I am sad but it's so nice to see the love for Aretha from around the world. She will never be forgotten.
back up vocal crazy
Monkat Young Hers is not a once-in-a-lifetime talent, but a once-in-a-history gift ...
In Russia we admire her too
Aretha forever and ever!
I'm crying....her voice, the guys died in Vietnam. Miss Aretha y are still alive ...y are for ever.
She rode this rhythm like a surf board man.
I LOVE that! Yes, she surely did. Perfection
Liz, you win the TH-cam commenter "she has a way with words" award!
@@HomeAtLast501 yeah I’m gonna add that to my repertoire
She's so beautiful.
she is I love her soul too she know how to sing
Pope Of Atheism in her prime she was the best female singer ever! And she always will be! I put only Whitney in the same level! Everyone with ears knows that! Aretha is one and only!
I love me some Karen Clark and Patti Labelle too though
blick
Aretha is one beautiful woman. Naturally beautiful!
Like an aerobatic sport plane that is hitting every single spot in it’s routine exactly,
she flys those notes to perfection.
Bill Bright ... And many of the notes are improvisational !!! They come from somewhere on which the mortals do not dare to tread ...
@@damianrhea8875 YES, ARETHA IS OTHERWORLDLY. NOW SHE HAS THE BLESSING OF BEING ABLE TO ENTERTAIN THE ANGELS!
I absolutely love this song and have to come back to hear it every now and then. ❤
I just 21 but would give anything to have been alive around the time of all the greatest talents were in their primes.. Aretha, The Supremes, Michael Jackson/The Jacksons, Prince etc.. If we get to make our own heavens, this would be mine.
The phenomenon that was MoTown had a huge pantheon of music talent showcased. A tidal wave of song really.
Just make it to HEAVEN and you will be able to see all the Greats
Never pushed a like button so hard.
I'm 71 and I had that privilege. It was an awesome time in music and in race relations in America. These talented people accomplished so much just by sharing their awesome talents with us all in America. I'm so grateful.
Man she looks so good here! Can just imagine the man she's singing to just melting in his own tears.
I can help to notice how pretty her skin looks. Oh she killing this song one of my favorite. My mother used to play this on the house when she cleaning. Miss you Mom.
Me to lv you mom
Sweet soul memories.
Therone Dawson how I just said the same thing. Sorry about your mom.
She was very pretty, but that was also the days before high def TV. I think HDTV makes everyone look a little harsh and haggard, no matter how young they are!
3:11 i love that little dance, she was so smooth
Can anybody bend to a note as effortlessly as Aretha? Don't answer that the answer is no. A true treasure for all of us.
+juliusrhodes42 I would have to say Adele.
+SoulSistahDiva Exactly.
+SoulSistahDiva I am with you. The Gospel in her voice is AMAZING. Such soul, passion, energy... I get a chill every time I watch this video. Very few do have that "over the top" soul in their voice... the ones that do... just Wow.
+William Trethewey Adele is not that good there's soooooo many people that can outdo her anyone in any city anywhere can do what she does. She's soooo regular. It just helps that she's white with power in her voice
+SoulSistahDiva You don't have to be black to sing soul. If it comes from the heart and soul, then its soul. Adele does soul differently than Aretha. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Just enjoy the music...
Lucky is the man who shared his life with this pure diamond forged by God himself
wooow she was beautiful . How i wish we don't grow old and remain intact with Youth looks
Male Isac sure hey
We will when we get to heaven, Amen, just love the lady, beautiful always has been always will be. God bless you.
change is law. it's how God meant it so that way we know he is superior to any one of us. no amount of pretending can reverse or hinder this law. everything changes get used to it
If I ever feel a bit fed up, I watch this performance and soon have a smile on my face! Just astonishing, God blessed this woman with such an amazing talent, her range, her timing and phrasing is incredible, and she is beautiful.
One of the greatest singers in history. My mom showed me this when I was very young, and I only got back to her music too late...rest in peace, Aretha Franklin.
Same I never even got to see her in concert 😔
I don't know how old you are but try looking the MANY beautiful songs by Hal David & the GREAT Mr. Burt Bacharach, great stuff!!!!
True music never gets old, greetings from Mexico, September 2023, long live soul😊❤
I was born 1960. Aretha gave me so much joy as I grew up during tuff times in Chicago. She was up on top of the very best female vocals that ever graced this earth.
The woman was the Queen of improving every song. INCREDIBLE!!!!! So many great singers we have lost. Too many losses now.. Too much...
Omg! That voice.....Oh man, we're really gonna miss you. Thanks for the wonderful music! Sleep in heavenly peace.
GOD PUT THAT INSTRUMENT ON EARTH FOR US TO ENJOY IN OUR LIFE TIME AMAZING ARETHA
+OLD LADY your so right she's the magic lady.
+Keith Walker tru dat
+OLD LADY she's a true inspiration till this day.
+OLD LADY amen to that!

@@Keenonf yes and her performance with her eyes and you can tell she really feels what she sings. Pure heart and soul. No one can match her performance. RIP Aretha.
not only was her singing performance a 10 out of 10, but she looked so amazing and her stare and smile melts me every time I watch this video. Aretha was amazing and we are so fortunate that we have these videos to watch ♥
The best ever singer ❤️
Google Rolling Stone best singer of all times 2022..
That's why she was called the queen of soul ,that voice
The Perfection of vocal technics
There’s no distance between her singing and all the cells in my body. She was life manifest.
OMG! This song was sung 50 YEARS ago and it's S*T*I*L*L so HELLA STRONG today in 2020! Thank you Queen Aretha for the power & of course the SOUL you put into your music! It gives me chills to hear your voice! It makes me feel so alive! Thank you for being so damn GOOD!
First time I’ve seen the young Aretha... WOW. I knew her voice was powerful and perfect but her stunning beauty and elegance here just make the performance unbelievable! She really is the queen.
A true natural woman, in South Africa we celebrate "Women's Month" - she was a great inspiration to all the women in SA, we love you Aretha, you were so authentic, loving, strong, risk taking and above all a voice for many centuries to hear, THANK YOU GOD, for giving us a woman with a natural voice, heart, mind and beautiful soul.
Voice unbelievable she could sing the phone book 🎶
