Detroit's own Queen Of Soul Aretha Franklin sings a soul stirring version of "Surely God Is Able" for Nelson Mandelas visit to Detroit on June 28, 1990
Her piano riffs are as powerful as her singing riffs. Powerful and Ferociously gifted.... Yes indeed GOD is able !!! God thank you for allowing us to borrow your child for we are all on borrowed time.... Peaceful Journey Aretha !!!
I was on stage with her in Detroit's old Tiger Stadium in June of 1990 when Aretha The Queen of Soul sang this song. I am in the white suit and can be seen at the end of the song at the 5:50 to 5: 54 mark. I had my trumpet and played behind her and the choir. What a great day that was!
I don't care where you are and wherever you were standing and whatever you were doing. When you heard that voice, you know that's Aretha Franklin! Yes Lawd she was born to sing and her Anointing is still powerful and still give you chills and make you shout Hallelujah!!!🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
I miss her so much. Thank God she left so much of herself with us so we can continue to love and enjoy her gift. Rest in Heavenly Peace Queen Aretha. 💖💖💖
I’m so moved by this! Aretha was literally BORN/CREATED to sing!!! There simply is NO question about that. You can FEEL God’s anointing all through that rendition. OMG 🙏🏽🌹❤️ Rest In Peace Aretha.
She can sing the dictionary and make it a soul palace! Every time she starts singing,immediately takes you into that place,a Queen is a Queen is a Queen!
Aretha has it all! Nothing but talented. This is what I call music...straight piano playing...no transpose buttons, synthesizers, electronic beats or nothing! This is back when you had to know how to play in every key! Gone girl!!!!
one of God's true singers she never allowed her greatest stand ahead of the person she was I tell you Jesus accepted her in his kingdom God bless her legacy !!
When you been through hell and back, she knows, I know , Jesus is the only one that's gonna carry you through, you out there we , live we die, there is a better life in Jesus Christ, Amen. Rip Queen and my son.
Nobody like this lady. I thank God HE let us experience her talent and her anointing.Singers will come and go,and I enjoy some of them immensely (Fantasia,Whitney)but there will always be ONE Queen....Rest Easy Auntie Rere.
Rest in Peace, Miss Aretha Louise Franklin (March,1942- August, 2018), the greatest gospel and soul singer in my life experience. Thank you for walking with kings and papers, and never losing the common touch. Forever in my heart. You're irreplaceable!
This song takes me back to days as a little girl with my granny! Her favorite, we even got Pamela Woods to sing it at her funeral!!!! Jesus! He's able!!
Georgette Davis I feel you. My Godmother use to Sing this Song at Church and when she would step down the steps out of the Choir to the Audience. Lord ! All that shouting lol But the Spirit was on fire and real. R.I.P to my Godmother a Queen👑🙏🏼 Aretha Franklin 👑🙏🏼
I love her piano playing. Her style is responsible. It's present complimentary and driving while leading the choir. If she never sang a note I'd buy a record of her piano. Reminds me of my grandma. I ain't gonna say she's better, but she's her and I'll miss piano like I miss Curtis Mayfield guitar.
I'm sorry but THIS Is the voice of Aretha I like. I love the HEFT in her voice. I just wish she would have pushed HARDER on the end and kept it going but as soon as I sat up in the seat, she ended it. Excellent Excellent.
Yes, God is able to carry the world through. Aretha left us this song ... Don't you know he's able? Hope for tommorow... Surely! Aretha sung this song.
Just remarkable🎤🎼🎵🎶🎹🎻🎺🎧🎷🎸. I felt God's anointing all threw Aretha. She sang it with such passion & conviction. My God she took me straight ☝🙏✋🙇2 The King
Aretha has masterfully spread the gospel of love all around the world; regardless of the various phases of her voice, she's superb in every phase; it is absolutely surrealistic, the spell she casts with her voice, soul, and spirit. I'm thankful to have lived during her reign.
I still enjoy listening to the Gospel Singers sing fact I love all Gospel song. Because I sing them in Church with the Choir. Thank for sharing this video. In Jesus Name Amen 🙏❤️
Yes I was 7 years old born and raised in Detroit am Aretha #1 Fan literally obessed its sad and good at the same time . #Quaratine and listening to the best ever # Much Love from Detroit 37yrs💙💙💙💙💙

She is soul, nobody comes close to the Queen omnipotent.
