Just playing the intro to this song is a difficult thing to do and home girl nailed it. At her age she still can blow. That's why she's the true and original Queen Bee.
We forget how much of a musician Aretha was , not just a maestro of vocals but she could actually play the hell out of a piano too. Marvelous, talented woman. She will be missed, especially by my mom, who's favorite Aretha was to her. Both R.I.P.
This was an artist. Not an overproduced song, not 40 writers behind a "hit", not a false statement about feminism. Talent, only talent, voice and the power of the soul. That was Aretha.
Miss Aretha on stage with Herbie Hancock and Christian McBride??!! WOW! This was amazing. She is now with her sister, and the rest of her loved ones now...
WOW! I just finished watching the rebroadcast of this clip, this very evening as part of the 10th anniversary of International Jazz Day, on PBS here in Vancouver, Canada. I'm missing Aretha now more than ever, but thankfully I can recharge my soul with the glorious music she gave the world!
It’s incredible to me that Columbia or whichever record label it was didn’t know what to do with this amazing talent. Jerry Wexler and those “greasy cats” down in Muscle Shoals knew what to do.
Haha 😂 😂 What the hell was this? Reminds me of me when my drunk grandmother sits down at the piano at xmas eve. Not a word right, and not one chord either😂💪god bless her soul
Maybe if you were there by her side at rehearsal and coaching her throughout the years, maybe you could've had people come to enjoy and/or love this rendition and given her the opportunity to be loved by millions, and possibly obtaining a successful career???!!!
Interesting. Okay. Nina was a better piano player than Aretha, IMO. Nina was a classically trained pianist and becoming a great Classical pianist was her main objective, which she achieved. She had the skills! She just did not become a great, famous Classical pianist, as she had hoped. Aretha is a much better singer. Aretha's main objective was to be a singer and a great singer she became, the G.O.A.T., IMO!
Herbie Hancock is playing back up to Aretha ... on a Leon Russell song.
Make it make sense, Lord. This is all just so much awesome sauce.
She got better as she got older. Very few people have music truly ingrained in their soul as Aretha did.
“I know your image of me is NOT what I hope to be” - genius lyrics change
I’m a 56 year old grown man. And tears are poring down my face. Love forever ARETHA

This is the song that did it for me! :(
Jester Jenkins Awwww...
Aretha recorded this song 40+ years earlier on one of her early 1970's albums. I highly recommend it.

This is one time when even the legendary God of piano Herbie Hancock was basically a garbage pickup guy that night next to Aretha.
This comment is garbage.

I know Aretha Franklin was the greatest and all of that but this performance (for me) it has Nina Simone written all over it.
Nina could have never done this.
Interesting. Okay.
