Watching how Aretha plays the piano is a masterclass in itself. Delicate yet aggressive as the song builds. She truly knew her artistry and craft. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
For fuck's sake. Seriously!? What a fantastic live version of a great song. Never was anyone more full of soul than Aretha. The best set of lungs that ever drew breath. Wow.
I keep seeing just the hint of a smile on her face in a few parts of her singing this....its like she's saying to herself, "yes, I got this and nobody can do this like I do it".....she was so right!!
THIS is my most favorite version of Aretha's performance of this song. It's also, IMO the most emotionally raw version as well. It rips my heart out every time.
My Dad played ARETHA song when he picked me up from the hospital with his second grandson. He had tears in his eyes so did i. I MISS HIM TERRIBLY EVERY TIME I HEAR ARETHA SONG
She was truly amazing regardless of what her color or nationality, when God blesses us he does not pick because of what color we are, the fact that she was black is irrelevant. She was full of exceptional ability!
@@MrAdriancooke we do bc at the time black ppl weren't as acclaimed as their white counterparts and therefore we would always celebrate someone of our colour who was successful hence y they said " young black and gifted "
THE definitive performance of this great song. I recall seeing this on TV at the time (I'd be about 16 I think) and being blown away. Just her and a piano and orchestra and those brilliant backing singers. No tricks, no multitracking, no overdubs and of course no auto-tune.
Aretha is singing emotions here. I just recently heard this; but I was transported back to a time when I felt similar emotions; happens each time I listen *Wow!* #Aretha #❤ThisGreatSong #StellarPerformance
Simply fantastic song by Aretha Franklin. This is my favorite performance from “back in the day.” And yes, it brings back memories… #Aretha❤❤❤❤ #Piano❤❤❤❤ #Emotion❤❤❤❤
She had the kind of voice that would arrest you, steal you away like a burglar; make you pull your car to the curb, turn the engine off and tune in. How many voices do this? Not many. Aretha had a voice annointed by God. She made that piano sing, too.
Exactly! When I hear one of her songs playing in the grocery store, I park my cart and stop shopping for the duration of the song and just enjoy. When it's over, I continue shopping with a smile on my face. She definitely had an anointing on her voice.
Don't play that song for me 'Cause it brings back memories Of days that I once knew The days that I spent with you Oh no, don't let 'em play it (oh no) It fills my heart with pain (it hurts) Please, stop it right away 'Cause I remember just what he said He said: "darling..." (darlin' I, I love you) And I know that he lied (oh, he lied) You know that you lied (oh, he lied) You know that you lied, lied, you lied (to me) Hey mister, don't play it no more Don't play it no more I can't stand it Don't play it no more (no more) No more (no more), no more Whoa-whoa (can't stand it) I remember on our first date He kissed me and he walked away I was only seventeen I'd never dream he'd be so mean He told me, "darling..." (darling, I love you) Baby, baby, you lied (darling, I need you) You, you lied (darling, I love you) You know that you lied (you lied) Lied (you lied), you lied (to me) Oh-oh-oh, darling (darling, I love you) You know that you lied, yeah (darling, I need you) You know I know you lied (darling, I love you) Darling, you lied (you lied) you lied (You lied) you lied, go on and hurt me You lied (to me) Oh, whoa-oh, you lied (don't play it no more) Oh, baby don't play it no more (don't play it no more) Don't do it, don't play it no more (for me), no more (for me) I can't stand it no more (don't play it no more) Oh hey, don't play it no more (don't play it no more)
A true Queen. Aretha's brilliance was, and still is unmatched, maybe never will be. I mean,shit,she made a President cry. Awesomeness in a mink coat, dam I loved this lady.🕊💖🎹
One of the very best live vocal performances Ive ever witnessed . This superb ladys voice grabs you and dosent let go . A masterclass in music . RIP Aretha .
Piano in her soul...song In her soul .voice from her deep soul....We on her deep deep soul An Agel of Soul she was ...Respect Aretha !! From all of our hearts RIP
Backing vocals Ms. Evelyn Greene, Ms.. Almeida Lattimore and Ms. Wylene Ivy (left to right) were brilliant and beautiful, just like the incomparable QUEEN OF SOUL MS. ARETHA FRANKLIN!
OMG, simply fantastic! I smiled, I tapped my foot, and I FELT what Aretha’s saying…had a few tears too I think. So, so good. Thanks for posting this.❤❤❤❤
I hate that this precious gift of a musical genius, this lady smoked cigarettes. There is a certain sparkle to her early voice before the soundtrack to the album Sparkle. This particular track. This is the first time I'm hearing it live and it's just got started and it's just getting good. In her latter days in the time of Nessun Dorum, she had lost this upper range. She had become a rich cello of a contralto. However, what she had to work with later on was more than many had from the get-go. The Queen of SOUL!
Its performances like this and you realize how the microphones and equipment of the time couldnt really handle the magnitude and magnificence of her voice. She was extraordinary
Absolutely fabulous soul! Even her piano is wailing out too. You have to have felt this before to get this to its fullest! #ArethaFranklin #RandB #IfYouKnowYouKnow #CliffRichardShow ❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 RIP Aretha
Increíble, mejor que incluso la versión estudio. Su forma de tocar el piano sin mirar mientras canta sin desafinar y con un melisma perfecto es algo asombroso! Y sin auto-tune 😍
AP2TMH POWER thru Christ and Holy Spirit ~ She meant those lyrics, the power oozed from her head thru her fingertips, down to her toes... I felt her w/out the props of today, & I wasn't even born at this time, yet the (devil)still lying in 2021, & I am so thankful to TMH 4 Auntie ReRe(in my mind) to sang it right off of me,( baby baby), I love Aretha Franklin, the period of humility & grace, if it be TMHP will may she rest in Abraham's Bosom. Life changed her, as it has many, as we grow older~ cautionary tales, AP2TMH POWER thru Christ and Holy Spirit, Long live the 1KING ~ life is to short to spend it hating & hurting, prayer 2 TMHP works if you work it~Selah, ( baby baby).🥰 #the commandments are the key~🙏💪🙌
no filter, no auto tune just pure instrument and voice
A rarity these days. Why though
And such a powerful voice !!! It gives you shivers !!!! A masterpiece of a wonderful artist at his best!! R.I.P ❤
I miss these days
Been listening to her from like 10 am this morning on a binge cleaning session n still n listening to her
She tore it up and brought the house down!!!!
I can't imagine anyone surpassing this live performance. Vocally she's superb and her piano playing is stunning.
Mariah’s 1991 cover 😂
Watching how Aretha plays the piano is a masterclass in itself. Delicate yet aggressive as the song builds. She truly knew her artistry and craft. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Agreed! That intro! 🔥She played the piano like she was the one who invented it.
I believe heaven rejoiced in a concert upon her arrival ! The Queen had arrived ! Angels led her procession !
Are you a professional???
Might be the best live performance I’ve ever heard. Her vocals are flawless
You absolutely have to see her perform Spirit In The Dark Live at The Filmore .....it's on TH-cam. My goodness
There will NEVER be another Aretha Franklin. Sheer vocal agility and talent that mesmerized us for decades.
This is music, this is art, this is legend
This is cliché
For fuck's sake. Seriously!? What a fantastic live version of a great song.
Never was anyone more full of soul than Aretha.
The best set of lungs that ever drew breath. Wow.
British
This is a MASTERCLASS of live performing, FLAWLESS
even my goosebumps have goosebumps
😅❤🎵
She just oozed talent. An iconic vocalist and a true virtuouso on that piano.
Nothing but goosebumps. Aretha Franklin was one of a kind. How many artists could do this today? Rest in peace!
She can sing the phone book and ROCKS YOUR SOUL!!
I keep seeing just the hint of a smile on her face in a few parts of her singing this....its like she's saying to herself, "yes, I got this and nobody can do this like I do it".....she was so right!!
I feel like she smiles a little because she enjoys singing and connecting with people 💕
Thank god there's TH-cam 💖
Aretha Franklin set the tone. in the late 60's and early 70's, for soul, music trend, she was a trailblazer and pioneer.
THIS is my most favorite version of Aretha's performance of this song. It's also, IMO the most emotionally raw version as well. It rips my heart out every time.
My Dad played ARETHA song when he picked me up from the hospital with his second grandson. He had tears in his eyes so did i. I MISS HIM TERRIBLY EVERY TIME I HEAR ARETHA SONG
Truly the definition of YOUNG GIFTED AND BLACK with her universal piano ability even more evident beyond genres.
She was truly amazing regardless of what her color or nationality, when God blesses us he does not pick because of what color we are, the fact that she was black is irrelevant. She was full of exceptional ability!
Who cares what race she is?
@@MrAdriancooke we do bc at the time black ppl weren't as acclaimed as their white counterparts and therefore we would always celebrate someone of our colour who was successful hence y they said " young black and gifted "
@@ryanuwamhenye7778 Exactly! They get in their feelings about race when they made race a thing.
Truly the definition of YOUNG GIFTED AND WHITE. See how that sounded? Yeah, stop the race thingy.
Aside from her obviously brilliant musical talent, wow she is singing her emotions! No parallel to that!
THE definitive performance of this great song. I recall seeing this on TV at the time (I'd be about 16 I think) and being blown away. Just her and a piano and orchestra and those brilliant backing singers. No tricks, no multitracking, no overdubs and of course no auto-tune.
one of my favorite Aretha songs. "You lied, you lied, you liiiiiiied"
I love areatha the pianist, great playing, talent extra not ordinary. Extremely talented.
the great Queen of Soul.
Same as Ray Charles. Just sit them at the piano and you're ready to go.
She just played by ear, she didn't learn to read music until much later in life.
@@martincorrado600 A lot of them did.
Aretha is singing emotions here. I just recently heard this; but I was transported back to a time when I felt similar emotions; happens each time I listen *Wow!*

to the person who posted this: thank you! The world is an inch better because of it.
Whenever I feel troubled, I watch this and I feel ease instantly. Thank you, Queen Aretha ❤
PURE BEAUTY, GENIUS, AND RAW EMOTIONS, I LOVE HOW SHE HAVE HER LEG CROSSED, YOU PLAYING THAT PIANO RIP QUEEN.
She was it. She was THE VOICE. What a woman…
I love this song, it brings back memories. Aretha, you were the Queen of Soul!
I am so sad that this song is not in the movie Respect...
Still and will always be often copied, never ever duplicate !
I know what you mean, but Aretha is still the Queen of Soul, even though she's not with us. The Undisputed, Eternal Queen of Soul.
But Gladys Knight is The Empress
The talent!
The look in her eyes!
All the feels!
And this was live...goosebumps
I have tears from the pure emotion and beauty and you believe every word when she sings it
"Soul" means putting the listener in touch with his/her emotions.
Simply fantastic song by Aretha Franklin. This is my favorite performance from “back in the day.”
And yes, it brings back memories…
#Aretha❤❤❤❤
#Piano❤❤❤❤
#Emotion❤❤❤❤
Y a plus de talent ici en 3 minutes que ce qu'on nous sert comme soupe depuis ces 20 dernières années...Merci Aretha.

Her singing. That piano playing. Unmatched. 💙🎵
Exactly! When I hear one of her songs playing in the grocery store, I park my cart and stop shopping for the duration of the song and just enjoy. When it's over, I continue shopping with a smile on my face. She definitely had an anointing on her voice.
Effortless, she is the queen
Stunning, and recorded in real time too.
Listen again, the bass player on the backing track is getting pretty busy.
Entièrement d'accord
The one and only Aretha Franklin.
This is why she was the queen of soul! What a powerful performance with her powerhouse vocals and amazing background singers! 💞💞
My My you can feel the spirit and soul of that Lady! WONDERFUL.🇬🇧🇺🇸.
Pure unadulterated brilliance! IMO her best performance of this song. Man, can she tickle those ivories!
Sublime, brilliant...there are no words for how good Aretha Franklin was.
She literally made it all look so easy. Superb. May she rest in peace.
Watching this amazing singer sing this song is like having an out of this world experience.
I am in LOVE!
She was the only singer I cried for when she died
There will never be another like her, truly talented, truly gifted, RIP Aretha
WOW!!!
Aretha that voice, Aretha you are the voice
Don't play that song for me
'Cause it brings back memories
Of days that I once knew
The days that I spent with you
Oh no, don't let 'em play it (oh no)
It fills my heart with pain (it hurts)
Please, stop it right away
'Cause I remember just what he said
He said: "darling..." (darlin' I, I love you)
And I know that he lied (oh, he lied)
You know that you lied (oh, he lied)
You know that you lied, lied, you lied (to me)
Hey mister, don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
I can't stand it
Don't play it no more (no more)
No more (no more), no more
Whoa-whoa (can't stand it)
I remember on our first date
He kissed me and he walked away
I was only seventeen
I'd never dream he'd be so mean
He told me, "darling..." (darling, I love you)
Baby, baby, you lied (darling, I need you)
You, you lied (darling, I love you)
You know that you lied (you lied)
Lied (you lied), you lied (to me)
Oh-oh-oh, darling (darling, I love you)
You know that you lied, yeah (darling, I need you)
You know I know you lied (darling, I love you)
Darling, you lied (you lied) you lied
(You lied) you lied, go on and hurt me
You lied (to me)
Oh, whoa-oh, you lied (don't play it no more)
Oh, baby don't play it no more (don't play it no more)
Don't do it, don't play it no more (for me), no more (for me)
I can't stand it no more (don't play it no more)
Oh hey, don't play it no more (don't play it no more)
there is another version of this recorded at the BBC around the same time also excellent
God, we were so lucky to have her...
I don't know how many times I've said much the same thing ... lucky to have lived in the same era as this great woman.
Perfectly said
Aretha's charisma is off the fricking charts. Nobody even comes close.
Belting while playing piano! She's an ICON!✨👑
THE GREATEST!!!!! Love this song by her, my fav!!!
A true Queen. Aretha's brilliance was, and still is unmatched, maybe never will be. I mean,shit,she made a President cry. Awesomeness in a mink coat, dam I loved this lady.🕊💖🎹
One of the very best live vocal performances Ive ever witnessed . This superb ladys voice grabs you and dosent let go . A masterclass in music . RIP Aretha .
Piano in her soul...song In her soul .voice from her deep soul....We on her deep deep soul
An Agel of Soul she was ...Respect Aretha !! From all of our hearts RIP
I was pregnant when that song came out. with my second son how beautiful he was
Aretha -- such a genius -- I miss her so.
Pure greatness. Aretha was the best there ever was.
even better than studio version , unbelievable.
Backing vocals Ms. Evelyn Greene, Ms.. Almeida Lattimore and Ms. Wylene Ivy (left to right) were brilliant and beautiful, just like the incomparable QUEEN OF SOUL MS. ARETHA FRANKLIN!
OMG, simply fantastic! I smiled, I tapped my foot, and I FELT what Aretha’s saying…had a few tears too I think.
So, so good. Thanks for posting this.❤❤❤❤
She always had such a beautiful voice.
REALLY She deserves her title. Queen of Soul!!
My humble opinion, this is as good as it gets
she made it look so easy
Utterly brilliant; the definition of SOUL. WOW.
I hate that this precious gift of a musical genius, this lady smoked cigarettes.
There is a certain sparkle to her early voice before the soundtrack to the album Sparkle.
This particular track. This is the first time I'm hearing it live and it's just got started and it's just getting good.
In her latter days in the time of Nessun Dorum, she had lost this upper range. She had become a rich cello of a contralto. However, what she had to work with later on was more than many had from the get-go.
The Queen of SOUL!
Such a beautiful voice and I mean aretha franklin and this song came out in 1970 from her album called sprint in the dark
It's from an amazing album. People really should listen to that album very seriously. It is powerful and personal.
Thanks for share this gold song, a beautiful song of all the times forever...............
This song had me spinning meeting this man a freshmen in college and I was truly only 17!!!!!!!!
WE'LL NEVER FORGET
THE QUEEN OF SOUL
ARETHA FRANKLIN
(MARCH 25, 1942 - AUGUST 16, 2018)
(08/16/2021)
Its performances like this and you realize how the microphones and equipment of the time couldnt really handle the magnitude and magnificence of her voice. She was extraordinary
Pure gold, absolutely stunning!
Absolutely fabulous soul! Even her piano is wailing out too. You have to have felt this before to get this to its fullest!

Fabulous !!!
Unreal voice. Puts in u a fuckn trance
Greatest female voice ever and it’s not even close for me 🎤 #Aretha

No nudity, no auto tune, no nothing just 100% pure talent never to be repeated.
Oh absolut super, mir fehlen die Worte!!!
The Queen of great music!
I love the piano intro
I always imagine me being in the studio with Jerry Wexler ,Tom Dowd,Arif Madrin,Spooner Oldham and the rest.
It's a masterpiece
What a combo of piano and stellar singing❤
James Cleveland was so proud. Many greats who were a part of her musical 🎹🎤🎵🎶 upbringing were in awe and so proud of Miss Aretha Franklin!
Great Song and Performance
Increíble, mejor que incluso la versión estudio. Su forma de tocar el piano sin mirar mientras canta sin desafinar y con un melisma perfecto es algo asombroso! Y sin auto-tune 😍
The piano gives me LIFE ❤
Love you Aretha
Rest in Heaven
This needs a vinyl release!
