In the summer of 1972, Aretha Franklin appeared as a surprise guest on Nipsey Russell's telethon special for Sickle Cell research. During the show, she performed a mini concert accompanying herself on piano, singing "Take A Look," "Daydreaming," "Spanish Harlem," and concluding with "Amazing Grace." No other video or audio footage or photographs from the performance have been seen since the original airing. Recently, this recording was discovered on a 53-year-old tape that was previously thought to be lost. Therefore, please be understanding of the audio quality.
Milik this is incredible. Audio quality doesn't even matter! This is a blessing! Would also love to hear 'Take A Look', I don't think we've ever heard her sing that live? And 'Come Sunday', is the audio quality why the video is gone? Because the singing was full of glory, the audio quality didn't even matter in my opinion. Would love to hear it again. Milik- God bless, your research is important work
This is great! This is wonderful! God bless whoever recorded this and whoever found it after 53 years. I've loved Areatha's singing ever since I was about 7 years old. I am 65 now. Thank you so much
I love it when she sang softly and calm like this. She has such a soothing timbre and tone. And always on pitch. Creative runs that emphasizes the meaning of the song and not just for the acrobatics. Truly the queen of soul.
can you do a video explaining mariah carey's voice next? i think it'd be cool considering how much times her voice has changed especially during butterfly era

Man I would have loved to hear her do a live rendition of “Take a Look”! I love her rendition.

Aretha was at her absolute best when she was free-styling, ad-libbing, and allowed to go her own way. Saluting you for this incredible find.
