My favorite Aretha Franklin song, bar none! Wonderful reaction video and great analysis. And you are right: no one but the Franklin girls will ever do this song justice! Thanks!
Never really followed Aretha, except for her older 80s Pink Cadillac type stuff. Man this younger stuff…she really had a terrific voice. Yeah, everyone knew that except me. Thanks L-Z for opening my ears!
Hey Lizzie. Great reaction ,but no surprise to this hauntingly beautiful love song. Aretha's voice is incomparable. This song was written for her by her sister Caroiyn Franklin, a gifted song writer. That high operatic note between the bridges is Cissy Houston(Whitney Houston's mother). 👏👏🔥🔥👏👏🔥🔥
Lizzie is everything your comment said. I'm grateful you left that comment. Lizzie the Gangster Hippie really needs to know what she does for us subscribers.
Aretha was the queen. I worshipped her music as a young teen girl and ever since., Melissa Ward here. Nice to see this kind of appreciation. I'm not sure if the sweet inspiration s were still her backup singers then or not. They were great I'm their own rite.
Jazz, blues, soul and R&B are close siblings, as evidenced here. I love that some contemporary artists are re-discovering & updating this great vintage music (my current favorite is Angelina Jordan, tho Morgan James has also done some great Aretha covers).
Hi Lizzy, great to see you back here. Love love love the way music gets into you. you are an amazing young woman who really loves music and not afraid to share your experience. Loving your channel.
Aretha brought everybody to church, even when she sang pop or jazz songs. She brought the soul of the church and you could just hear it in that miraculous voice. I got to see her several times in the 1970s in concert and that voice blew the roof off the place. Heaven is so lucky that you are up there singing with the angels.
You see, this is why I'm watching for any posts from Lizzie the Gangster Hippie. You really chose a powerful recording of Aretha Franklin with "Ain't No Way". You're absolutely correct, Lizzie. From the very beginning, it was like that saxophone was calling out. "Come on, you're welcome here (musical ShangriLa)". And when Aretha started to sing, she took me to that 'Wonderful and loving' place. There are so many songs Aretha Franklin recorded. I'll just put three of my favorites for you: "Daydreaming" "Until You Come Back To Me" "Wonderful" Wow! What a great piece of music you reacted to, Lizzie. Thank you so much.
For Women's History Month Aretha Franklin is a historical figure as a performer and as a woman who worked for civil rights. She sang at Dr. King's funeral.
Another great reaction, Liz! I recommend Aretha's "Until You Come Back To Me," written by Stevie Wonder, "I Never Loved A Man the Way I Love You" and Aretha's own composition " Spirit In the Dark."
Glad to see you hope you're feeling better I always love your reactions and you can't go wrong with the Queen herself Aretha Franklin here a couple more to choose from Joan Jett doing "hate myself for loving you" Janis Joplin "Ball and Chain"live at the Monterey Pop festival 1970 thank you be safe and be blessed
Now that you have played my favorite song by the queen of soul you can top it off with "I Refuse to be Lonely" by the late and underrated great Phyllis Hyman. If you react to this artist and song you won't be disappointed.
So great to see you Lizzie! Loved your reaction to the Queen of Soul, the legendary Aretha Franklin! She was truly one of a kind! Due to her upbringing and singing in the church, many of her songs have that spiritual quality. And that voice you hear in the background is non-other then Cissy Houston. The mother of Whitney Houston. I'd love to see you react to Aretha Franklin's performance at The Kennedy Center Honors program in 2015. Carol King was being honored and Aretha performed her song Natural Woman. Which was written by Carol King. Aretha Franklin was 73 at the time and this performance will blow you away!!🤯 Best wishes Lizzie!❤
I know that Aretha Franklin has contributed so much for us. I'll just comment on the many people she inspired to 'Take that extra step'. I had not known about the courage and strength she gave to so many people. I've watched just the few that spoke at her funeral (it was ten hours long). And some of best musical performances, in tribute to the Queen of Soul.
@@martyemmons3100 Yes, she certainly inspired so many people. I watched her funeral celebration too, and the tributes were so heartfelt. She was truly amazing and extraordinary.
Hey Liz! Nice to see you back again & I enjoyed your reaction 😊. If you're looking for another Aretha song, "Natural Woman" is a classic. Also, check out Patrice Rushen, "Settle for my Love", really smooth. She often plays all the instruments herself 💯
This was incredible, Liz! I don't know how I missed this when you posted it but I'm glad I came back to hear it. Powerful song and superb reaction by you, as always! Here's to your next one. 🙏😊💜
It's always a good day when we get to vibe with you. you look especially lovely today, and I am hoping that you are feeling as good as is humanly possible. Much love, as always. ♥♥♥
Please react to one of her power tracks - 'Good to me as I am to you,' - off the Lady Soul album - it shows why she has no rival - it is pribably the most ferocious pieces of blues ever put to tape. Enjoy.
Hey girl! So good to see you back to reactin' again! If you wanna see a girl video that's IMHO one of the best of Jody Watley's solo songs check out "It All Begins With You". This is the softer side of Jody who was the female singer with the group Shalamar. I love this song because it was the last song that I shared with my sister who passed away from cancer back in 2016 and it always makes me think of her. Please do a reaction to it, thanks! Stay well Lizzy!
I recommend making a reaction to one of the coolest female vocalists in the world. Diana Ankudinova - Queen of Goosebumps - Diana received such a title for her extraordinary unique voice. Diana's best performances - Derniere Danse, Wicked Game, Can't Help Falling in You Each of these speeches garnered over a thousand reactions. Diana is in the TOP 3 world vocalists in terms of the number of reactions (about 15 thousand reactions).
The coolest performance that will shock you and give you the biggest goosebumps! th-cam.com/play/PLQJJG9TMmSOB4YXRUgdxA-H-Fo_sjB3kZ.html Protection of the video-image about partial blocking for some countries is preferable.
I don't know if you've reacted to "A Soft Place To Fall" by Alison Moorer yet but, I'd love to see your reaction and to "Dream Baby"by Roy Orbison. By the way, its more than great to see you back reacting to some beautiful songs.
Yes ! You need to dig a little deeper in ! I guarantee you won’t be disappointed ! Oh, lol, by the way that was the B side to one of her hits on a 45 ! Google “ what is a 45 record). 😂😂
Again, Lizzie is bringin the HEAT......I've got one I've been hoping you take a listen to..... please react to Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa doing "I'd Rather Go Blind" Live in Amsterdam....I promise you won't be disappointed....
Love Nina - but she'd slap you for putting her anywhere near the same level as Aretha from a voice perspective. Aretha has no rival - like Bach or Mozart - she is a rival-less artist.
@@afrolanticanjurisprudence8849 Yes - and because we're talking about voice here on this post I'd interpreted your 'strongest' in relation to voice and not how many bales of hay she can lift onto a truck. But thanks for the clarity.
@@markdrinkwater1508 "we"? you represent noone here. my comment said strongest. you didn't ask what i meant, and your interpretation of it and response was childish. seek professional help for you emotional problems.
Great reaction...new to your channel...gotta check some more out. If you want another spirit-moving vibe from the Queen, I recommend DAY DREAMING. I think you will feel it.
Hey LtGH, Yea that "high note in the back". Thats Whitney Houston's mother. Cissy Houston. ...just in case there is doubt th-cam.com/video/EmXraDD2PiY/w-d-xo.html Please take into account that Cissy Houston cannot hold the note as long as she originally did due to age.
that high note Whitney Houston mother sings in the back is like. flowing river. my god.
That wasn’t Whitney momma that’s was Aretha Franklin sister
@@ricoburke3206no it was Cissy Houston she sung background for Aretha many times.
No aretha’s sister wrote the song, cissy Houston sang the high notes
@@juliefrench8610Correct.
Aretha Franklin’s music always hits that emotional spot in my chest and makes my emotions explode
The most beautiful sound to ever leave a human throat.
Aretha was and still is the bom. Beautiful presence , voice and personality
Aretha had the greatest sound of all - unmatched in popular music.
Aretha Franklin is everything good about the entire universe.
My favorite Aretha Franklin song, bar none! Wonderful reaction video and great analysis. And you are right: no one but the Franklin girls will ever do this song justice! Thanks!

Cool info !
Just heard this song for the first time last year, and I was amazed
ARETHA can sing to me anytime and I am always impressed by her deep soul, nobody does it like the queen of soul.
Don’t be a shame,the Queen of Soul voice have a way of doing that to all of us,it takes over your soul.😊❤❤❤
SEEING YOU BACK IS LIKE WHEN SPRING FINALLY ARRIVES THE WARMTH FLOWERS BUDDING EVERYWHERE YES PPL LIZZIE IS BACK 🙏
Lizzie is everything your comment said.
I'm grateful you left that comment. Lizzie the Gangster Hippie really needs to know what she does for us subscribers.
Absolutely one of the greatest songs of my youth! Love and miss you Aretha Franklin!❤
Aretha!!! Omg! This was gorgeous! Thanks Lizzie!! 😊
I've heard ReeRee sing this song since I was a little girl 50 plus years ago, and it's still one of my all-time favorite tunes.
Aretha was the queen. I worshipped her music as a young teen girl and ever since., Melissa Ward here. Nice to see this kind of appreciation. I'm not sure if the sweet inspiration s were still her backup singers then or not. They were great I'm their own rite.

The greatest musician of our lifetime
Queen Aretha

Aretha…..the queen of soul!!! So talented. And she can make the piano keys sing!!❤❤❤❤
Hi Lizzy, great to see you back here. Love love love the way music gets into you. you are an amazing young woman who really loves music and not afraid to share your experience. Loving your channel.
Cissy Houston ain't no joke with that soprano.

What a voice rest in peace
One of the great songs by one of the greatest. Absolute perfection in all aspects. As you said, almost spiritual.
Great reaction. Aretha is an icon
The Queen of TH-cam presents the Queen of Soul, what a combination! Always happy to see you online, Lizzy. 😇😊✌️
That high note in the back is Cissy Houston--Whitney Houston's mom.

Lizzie Girl, I 💯❤ seeing you get so excited with songs that speak to the inner you!! Have missed you lots, but you look great. YGG!!!
I LOVE THIS SONG
Thank you Liz for that! A classic for sure! Be well!
you gotta see the live versions ofer music... CRAZY NICE❤
Good to see you feeling well and very expressive on this one! Looking forward to more women performers this month.
Another great reaction, Liz! I recommend Aretha's "Until You Come Back To Me," written by Stevie Wonder, "I Never Loved A Man the Way I Love You" and Aretha's own composition " Spirit In the Dark."
Throw in her version of SpanishHarlem and you got me. A lot of critics weren't too crazy about it,but I still love it.
Glad to see you hope you're feeling better I always love your reactions and you can't go wrong with the Queen herself Aretha Franklin here a couple more to choose from Joan Jett doing "hate myself for loving you" Janis Joplin "Ball and Chain"live at the Monterey Pop festival 1970 thank you be safe and be blessed
GREAT SONG BY THE QUEEN
Gettin blessed here .
Precious tones .
Now that you have played my favorite song by the queen of soul you can top it off with "I Refuse to be Lonely" by the late and underrated great Phyllis Hyman. If you react to this artist and song you won't be disappointed.
I had to thank you for requesting Phyllis Hyman.
Her music also takes me into that musical paradise.
That's my fav. Aretha song .
i think this is the best reaction video i've seen.

Hi Liz !!!! It’s Great to see you,Awesome reaction as always!
Please react to one of her power tracks - 'Good to me as I am to you,' - off the Lady Soul album - it shows why she has no rival - it is pribably the most ferocious pieces of blues ever put to tape. Enjoy.
Lizzie.. Great reaction. Aretha is a Goddess!!❤❤ You should react to "Make Your Own Kind of Music" by Cass Elliot
yep, love is just plain scary. he ran.
Hey girl! So good to see you back to reactin' again! If you wanna see a girl video that's IMHO one of the best of Jody Watley's solo songs check out "It All Begins With You".

The high note is by her sister and she wrote it too. Day dreaming another Aretha Franklin song check it out
No its not. Its by Cissy Houston. Her sister wrote the song. Thats all
@@ogkush1916 your right. I'm wrong still a great song
That lady singing that high note in the background was Whitney Houston mother Cissy Houston
THE BACKGROUND VOCALIST IS WHITNEYS MOM CISSY HOUSTONN😍.
Great to see you back Lizzy and love the short hair. Until you comeback to me is also a great song to check out.
please react to Aretha live - Dr. Feelgood ( i think from Stockholm or one the Nordic cities) her piano and singing at its best!!!
That is Whitney Houston's mother in the background hitting that high note. Cissy Houston.
I recommend making a reaction to one of the coolest female vocalists in the world.
Diana Ankudinova - Queen of Goosebumps - Diana received such a title for her extraordinary unique voice.
Diana's best performances - Derniere Danse, Wicked Game, Can't Help Falling in You
Each of these speeches garnered over a thousand reactions.

The "high note" your referring to is called an obligatto. That's Cissy Houston with the Sweet Inspirations backing Ms. Franklin.
YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW THAT WHITNEY HOUSTON'S MOM CISSY HOUSTON SANGBACKROUND FOR ELVIS PRESLEY & ARETHA FRANKLIN.
I don't know if you've reacted to "A Soft Place To Fall" by Alison Moorer yet but, I'd love to see your reaction and to "Dream Baby"by Roy Orbison.
By the way, its more than great to see you back reacting to some beautiful songs.

That’s Whitney Houston’s mom singing background Ms Cissy Houston
Yes ! You need to dig a little deeper in ! I guarantee you won’t be disappointed ! Oh, lol, by the way that was the B side to one of her hits on a 45 ! Google “ what is a 45 record). 😂😂
Miss cissy put the final touch on this song,her background
No cover version can match Aretha's original recording.
La mejor voz que Dios dió a este mundo
Yes
YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW THAT WHITNEY HOUSTON MEET BOTH ELVIS PRESLEY & ARETHA FRANKLIN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL.
I like your channel very much.
Again, Lizzie is bringin the HEAT......I've got one I've been hoping you take a listen to..... please react to Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa doing "I'd Rather Go Blind" Live in Amsterdam....I promise you won't be disappointed....
Cissy Houston wasn't playing with these heauxs 😂
Here you go Lizzy Citizen Queen does a knocked out cover of Roberta Flack's Killing me softly .... you will love them I promise.
Why doesn't someone do a retrospective of Carolyn Franklin's song writing resume. What other songs has she done?
Yo liz g’day from australia beautiful girl👍🦘🐨 keep a smile on ya dial liz and positive girl 🤠🤠👻👻 you can conquer anything Lizzie 👍👍👍
That high note in the background is Aretha’s sister.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to Whitney Houston and Mary J Blige pay homage to auntie re-re on VH1 Divas. It will blow your mind 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Hi Ms. Lizzy, they don't call her the Queen Of Soul for Nothing.. ☻ ♠W.G.
Strongest woman to ever pick up a microphone and slap the keys of a piano is Ms. Nina Simone. Fall into her catalogue.
Love Nina - but she'd slap you for putting her anywhere near the same level as Aretha from a voice perspective. Aretha has no rival - like Bach or Mozart - she is a rival-less artist.
