This is one of the most inspiring recordings I've ever heard it moves me to tears each time I listen to the depth of emotion she's blessing her audience with and Babyface truly designed his own exceptionally memorable and excellent collection of art when he penned this song. I was told that she did this in one take and left everyone present speechless. May she rest in heavenly Peace
@@jameskirk1638 yeah me too. I can only imagine if she quit smoking. I will she she tried because her voice was completely gone in 2006. But managed to get some of it back for the I look to you album. Such a shame she is no longer here anymore.
@@90sKidsSchoolLibrary yea I heard about that. Her vocal coach said even her speaking voice was completely hoarse when he first started working with her. But I'd rather have hoarse Whitney than no Whitney. 😔 RIP Whitney.
Aretha said that her smoking didn't bother any of her singing, or reaching any notes. She said this on national television. I wasn't aware of her ever changing that statement.😮❤😊!!
Yeah your right babyface wrote the ish out that soundtrack. Babyface wrote majority of those songs for Whitney to do, but she didn't want to do the whole album by herself, she only wanted to do just a few songs which was 3 in total
layoutzz thank goodness for WHITNEYS LOVE AND RESPECT BABYFACE was going for THE BODYGUARD meaning the sound track was written for Whitney Only and she suggest all the other ladies be added
Roderick Fair I’m glad Whitney suggested other artist because I can’t imagine , hurts like hell , sittin up in my room , let it flow , or not gon cry being sung by Whitney or anybody else
The Lady of Soul did not have to be half naked to sing a song. She was the total package with talent with the beloved old school church voice and a message in her music!
Aretha was the most real female vocalists Alive ,she never used ear pieces ,trick Mike's,other enhanancements,she sang raw and Real that's the Gift God gave her to share with the World .nothing never phony about Queen Aretha ,Sing On With The Heavenly Angels Queen Aretha ,we truly miss her ,she was America's Best and Greatest
Aretha Franklin’s voice was the sound of an America we’re still trying to become!!! Rest In Peace As You Walk Into Heaven Doors. We will always love and remember you. My favorite song by her.
I think her emotive ability increased over the years, just like Whitney. Feeling something in your teens compared to 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and up, must be so different. I like this song, it’s sad though. I remember the scene from the movie.
OH MY GOD THIS MY JAM!!! waiting to exhale came out when i was 5 (and clearly too young to know what the movie was about) but i loved the soundtrack, especially this song.
First of all his name is Yeshua., not jesus. Aretha is in heaven living . she isn't in a grave. and when u die you will find out that ypur pastor have fooled you into believing when you die you sleep in a grave, Not true. these lousy pastors wont even tell their members that Yeshua is a man of color. SMH.
@MadahPujangga No question about it. I remember I saw a performance of her and Luther and they were running and riffing throughout the whole song. I think it was a house is not a home.
This is my TUNE. Thats why the call her the Queen. OWCHHHHHHHHH. Love the way she looks here. Rip that dress off and have it taken in. She looks hot in this video, one of the best I've seen her look. Fantastic Aretha. Just keep it coming honey.
This song is so true. Why is it a problem to enjoy it?? She is the true "QUEEN" of "SOUL" and no matter what you say or feel, the truth is there to see. This "QUEEN" is bad.
Wow-thanks for posting this. Never heard this song. What an AMAZING voice- the original- the truest Soul Singer I've ever heard. No artifice- this comes from the gut. Hate the modern crap- girls trying to imitate Aretha's soul stylings. She is the bomb! As Mariah Carey said "All Hail, the Queen of Soul, Miss Aretha Franklin!
@SuperstarX The truth is the "QUEEN of Soul" is known for her voice and interpretation. NOT for her looks and there are a lot of Aretha fans that would find your comment insulting. Just the facts !
Dating is fun for me. It doesn't hurt at all. I am not nor have I been in a serious enough relationship to hurt deeply like this. My approach to relationships is just to make friendships. That way you don't get hurt.
@lsaturn01 Aretha's voice did come back for a hot second in 1993 or 1994. Now my question to you is how many Newports did Whitney smoke a day? Aretha smoked for over 30 years and smoked 40 cigs a day. Anyway isn't Whitney still struggling to get her voice back? I watched a video of her in concert a few months ago and she sounded dreadful to the point where I felt sorry for her. I haven't heard anything from her lately so hopefully her voice has improved.

When Aretha stopped smoking she was able to hit those high notes like she did in the 60's and 70's. Go Aretha!
Yes I wish Whitney had accomplished that.
@@jameskirk1638 yeah me too. I can only imagine if she quit smoking. I will she she tried because her voice was completely gone in 2006. But managed to get some of it back for the I look to you album. Such a shame she is no longer here anymore.

He surely did! 😂👏🏾
Yes the fuck he did fam
He certainly did.
And I bet Babyface didn't know how good it was until he heard the Queen sing it. Long live the Queen.

@@landon2632 right.
@@landon2632 No need to imagine, theres videos of Whitney singing this song live. absolutely spectacular
@@TheRealDrayBreezy right and it proves she could have done the whole album on her own.

😭❤️✝️🙏
I have never heard a song that fully expressed the way u feel when u really have been hurt by someone. I relate to it on so many levels.
I heard a lot of covers but Aretha just has that voice that pulls you into this song.Simply beautiful!
The original plump cutie Aretha Franklin.
and ain't nothing funny if its kiiiilin' youuuuu !
This song touches my soul, my pain...
Congrats "Kenny Edmons" for writing such a excellent piece for Miss Atetha....Very fitting
Hi Renee that's Babyface's name right? 😊
My Lord this woman here is absolutely breathtaking beautiful and the greatest songstress of the 20th century, Queen Aretha Franklin! I love you!❤️✝️🙏
Man her voice was so unique and powerful ❤
Truly The Queen Of Soul.One of a kind. I heard several singing this song and they couldn't do it like she did it.❤❤😂
That was a classic Aretha song. She sung real well here at the Soul Train tribute to 'Face but she let it loose on the studio track! :)
Rest easy Queen of Soul
Love how she hands that to the background singer...Such a diva!
I have to be honest when I get on stage. Aretha is sprinkle first in my bowl for CONFIDENCE!!!❤❤
This needs the 4k magic
Who ever don’t like this, baby God bless, your little nonexistent of music heart!
Aretha is slaying that Afro ! She looks good !!!!!!
That's an afro 👀?! Just looks like big hair. The way they liked it back then....hmmmm.
Ummm that’s not an Afro
Nope! No Afro!
Love this song. #myshit

RIH Queen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊🕊🕊😪😪
SHE NOT IN HEAVEN BUT IN THE GRAVE WAITING FOR JESUS TO RETURN TO EARTH TO WAKE HER UP.
Shes not in a grave, Shes in heaven.
@@robinburks2217 Where does it say that in the bible? She sleep waiting for Jesus to call.
First of all his name is Yeshua., not jesus.

SMH.
.this name up. Cesare Borgia. This is the man you call jesus, whose real name is Yeshua
Whitney's runs are one thing, but overall Aretha did it for me.
Really even though Aretha does more complex runs?
@MadahPujangga No question about it. I remember I saw a performance of her and Luther and they were running and riffing throughout the whole song. I think it was a house is not a home.
Yes. Aretha sang the song, Whitney did amazing , but this is the song.
Rest in peace mom
I love this song more each time l hear it
he sure did! I love when you look at the booklet and see "written by: babyface" on almost every page.
R.I.P Arthea Franklin Queen Of Soul

Yes, Aretha we love you. Excellent voice 💯
This is my TUNE. Thats why the call her the Queen. OWCHHHHHHHHH.
Love the way she looks here. Rip that dress off and have it taken in. She looks hot in this video, one of the best I've seen her look. Fantastic Aretha. Just keep it coming honey.
Who knows what year this amazing performance was? If only we could go back in time...I would fly to America to see this! 🤗💖🎶
1996
This song is so true. Why is it a problem to enjoy it?? She is the true "QUEEN" of "SOUL" and no matter what you say or feel, the truth is there to see. This "QUEEN" is bad.

Classic

snjones99 THIS IS A SIMPLE EXAMPLE OF BEING SO GOOD YOUR UNDENIABLE SHE COULD BE IN A BATH ROBE AND SCARF WHO CARE THAT GIFT SHE HAS
Auntie Rea y’all 💜💛
Did the background singers need those usher dresses?
Tow Dow 3 go to timeout now! 😂😂😂😂 and first Sunday at that! 💀💀💀💀
Lololol
Z🤦🏽♀️💀😮
I’m on the floor
😂😂😂😂
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
80s & 90s Ree was too 🔥
RIH QUEEN REE-REE😭😭😭
damn she sang that shit!!!
@ThIcBrOwNiEs so true. Gets to the core of the soul...
Absolutely
I really love her lower register!
She looked good too. I wish she were at least this size now.
💕💕💕💕
I feel like Aretha is singing this song to me!
ALL HAIL THE QUEEN IN 2024!!!
@ThIcBrOwNiEs chile she was wearing that glamour
@skuderjay YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
I was thinking the same exact thing
This is good, real good but I'll take "Ain't No Way" from back in the day. Awesome.
Where's the finale to this show? They had it on here but they deleted it over a year ago. Patti was singing backup 4 Aretha while singing Respect.
Ain't that much hurting in the world but if a broken heart had a song to sing Mizz.Ladysoul sung it like it would've been express.
She bested everyone on that soundtrack with this without even tfyi g including the late great Whitney Houston.
Oh God why it hurts so bad????
I wish she sang the whole exhale soundtrack
Would've slayed!
i love the patti labelle wig

Is it me or do the background singers have on their Sunday-go-to-meeting outfits?
2019?

For a great read check out A Step Into Deliverance by Toni Pugh. It's a real page-turner!
She was aniominated for a grammy for this song rip Queen of Soul.
You're a big fan of Aretha and you've NEVER heard this song?
@lsaturn01 Agreed!
Wish I knew what show this was
1996 Essence Awards live from New York City on April 26, 1996.
Get well, soon, Queen.
~Blake
@ThIcBrOwNiEs true that. there's nothing funny if it's killing you
Lmao! I'm with you on that.
how come Aretha can be wrapped in her stole until 1.49 and at 1.50, the stole is hanging on her left arm?
was this video edited after being shot?
