Who’s here after watching the movie Respect?
Haven't seen it yet how was it ?
I did exactly just that.
i just watch it and I am searching up everything on YT
@@shametrickpowell6918 the movie was great❤️
Me cause the movie was an injustice 😟
Aretha Franklin was so beautiful ❤️😇
She was.
Miss Carolyn was dangerous with that pen!!! Ain't No Way, Angel, and Baby, Baby, Baby are all among my favorite Aretha Franklin songs
Her voice was vicious too! 😇💕🙏🏽💕🙏🏽💕😇
All jams!
I love Aint No Way
Auntie Carolyn could sing her ass off could of out sang anyone she wanted in my opinion heavily underrated !
Her voice is a national treasure ❤️
INTERNATIONAL TREASURE EXCUSE ME
@@swisschoklate736 okay I can ride with that, we are willing to share her greatness
She has no rivals, her sound was the celestial sound of God, the way she played with a melody, utter beauty and artistic perfection, she sang from the soul of humanity itself.
Only Chaka
@@Brook-ct3kk Stay off the drugs.. Chaka would slap you for being so foolish.
❤️
She was a great pianist, too!
Aretha will forever remain the Queen, even here in South Africa, we bow to her. 🇿🇦🇺🇸
❤ 🇿🇦 ❤
She sings effortlessly. Her skill is unmatched.
Just like Whitney, there will never be another Ms.Aretha Franklin!
But these days they are giving mediocre musicians high accolades .... Grammys are big on that.

There are millions of Whitney clones all over the world, she had a big voice for ten years but there was nothing stand out, she was boring and uninspiring, too much runs and exhibitionism. Aretha has no rivals, her sound was celestial in its beauty.
@@markdrinkwater1508 Stop, Whitney was good there will never be another Whitney. If I were you I would not be talking because you can't even sing you got to give Whitney credit for that she literally inspired every singer after her.
This woman sang with such ease. It was with no effort at all for her to hit those notes. A Natural Woman and Respect are my favorites.
Think, Natural woman,Respect,Ain't No Way, Chain Of Fools, I Say A Little Prayer For You, and Rock Steady are my favorite.
@@whitneyhouston1122 Chain Of Fool, would have the sole of your shoes hot, when you left the dance floor.
@@brendahoward9047 That song is a legend itself
Aretha greatly helped the civil rights movement with her financial support.
I 've seen both versions of her life story. I loved them both. No way of watching her journey without shedding some tears. Cynthia Erivo and Jennifer Hudson did an awesome job !!! The Nat Geo version had a lot more detail because it did not end when she was 30.
I agree with you 😊
Amen
A LEGEND IN HER OWN RIGHT!!!! She earn her STATUS.People want status before Hard work. Even though she had difficult times, she MOVE ON, and Enjoyed her life.She was dignified and professional. She didn't have to show her SKIN TO GET ATTENTION. SHE JAD REAL TALENT. THANKYOU. Ms.Franklin.
Agreed. Female singer's come out and with one or two album's people are trying to deem them icons and legends. If Aretha Franklin is an icon and legendary how can someone who's been out for five minutes be on that same level?
On this day August 16, 2018, 3 years today, Precious Lord took Aretha to the promise land 💫💫💫
I'm from Detroit and I remember she music being played all the time. My mom love her some Riri. I saw the movie yesterday and she knew who she wanted to play her. So would be so proud of Jennifer
I always noticed when she sings gospel.... she usually kept her eyes closed. Perhaps, it helped her to concentrate and let the feeling flow through using her as a vessel.
The Spirit floweddddd
Yes. Very common in the Black church for soloists to sing with eyes closed.
Such a Treasure and Soulful Queen.
I have been listening to Aretha since my childhood., Still loving her voice and music. ❤❤❤🎵🎶😋😋🎹🎼🥰🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💔💔💔💔💔💔
The greatest, the queen, the goddess. Nobody comes close to Aretha Franklin. What gets missed in Aretha's story is not just her heaven sent voice, but her songwriting and arrangement skills and most of all her incredible piano playing. The Lady had it all. A beautiful voice from a beautiful woman.
FEBRUARY 16TH ARETHA FRANKLIN DAY AND A GLORIOUS ONE ☝🏿 REMEMBERED IN PERFECTION.
I've always loved Aretha. Recently, I've spent a few years studying her music more deeply for work. What I came to learn is that while she gave America pop, she gave the world a light that, at best, can only be imitated.
I recall, in the 90s, when she filled in last minute for Pavarotti at the Grammys (he had laryngitis), to sing HIS classic "Nessun Forma", and literally brought the entire house to it's feet crying. (It's the equivalent of if Pavarotti filled in to sing "Natural Woman". 🤔)
Sting didn't know what to say when the camera when back to him to continue MC duties.
Aretha is one of the greatest of all time, of all genres, of all instruments, of all people.
Her light will never be extinguished
There's a comedic side to Aretha that people don't talk about, she's really funny too.
THANKS REELBLACK! ARETHA WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND THIS IS WHEN YOU WERE PROUD TO BE BLACK! LOOK AT ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL FACES IN THE AUDIENCE!
This is the real Aretha. So this may be better than the movie!
It is
Definitely. The real thing is always better than its imitation .
Good point
I really wish Jennifer had lip synced to Aretha's vocals. Her renditions were just OK..
@@dashhill443 Yes, it seems crazy to have a mediocre voice portraying greatness. Aretha's voice is the most beautiful sound to ever come out of a human throat, so nobody should be singer her on film, the actress should had lip-synched to her original voice.
This reconnects me with why I fell in love with Aretha's voice and persona in the first place. Outstanding talent and presence.
4:16... Precious Lord, Sing Aretha Sing. Aretha's Gospel Music NEEDS to be played on today's FM Gospel stations.
The best artist always seem to have the most tragic lives.
You are so right 100% Real
Yes!
..there does seem to be a pattern there....
It's balance I guess. There's nothing we can have too much of that doesn't take away from somewhere else.
Another way artists suffer for their art, perhaps?
So true marvin gaye,Tina Turner,P.Hyman,just to name a few.
Thank you for sharing this amazing footage of our Aretha Franklin, the world was blessed by this remarkable and beautiful woman. You’ll forever be in our hearts, Ms. Franklin. Now rejoice in your heavenly home.
She will always be the queen of soul to me she earned that title 🥰❤️🖤💚rip ReRe with much Respect#the movie Respect was awesome just like you ❤️🖤💚
JUST MAGNIFICENT! Had the Opportunity To Meet Aretha Franklin At Her Father Church, A Couple of Years Before Her Passing! The Family has an Special Spirit About Them.Going To Her Celebration at her Father Church felt like an Family Reunion! Soo Much LOVE! ❤ ❤ Minister Joyce Lynn Pledger! ❤ ❤
Jennifer Hudson did a wonderful job portraying Aretha Franklin in the movie titled Respect.👍😊
Indeed! ❤
Yes, she did!
@@montyb10009 Amen and Hallelujah!🤗👍
Yes she did....
Yes!!!
We love you Carolyn...... Ain't no way❤️❤️❤️❤️
15:21 "Lady Soul" gives another masterclass on how she team composes with her sister, Caroline, and arranges around her piano.
Even the queen must humble herself, stay quiet, listen, and learn from those who know more than her, before she can take her place.
EVERY music student must see this before they consider themselves "composers"
So true. Today's artists really don't know their craft. They're not learning music on instruments. Music has been removed from many public schools... deliberately in my opinion. A certain sector of America does not want to see Black greatness anymore. We who are older have to find ways to influence young people for the better.
She was a class act, look at her beautiful face and form.
WE'LL NEVER FORGET
THE QUEEN OF SOUL
ARETHA FRANKLIN
(MARCH 25, 1942 - AUGUST 16, 2018)
(08/16/2021)
I am so glad that I grew up listening to Ms. Aretha. She was a mover and shaker in the civil rights arena, also. She offered to pay bail for Angela Davis back in the day. Paraphrasing: she said Black folks helped her make the money, she felt she should spend that money to help Black ppl. Many of our entertainers felt that way back then. I read that she quit smoking cigarettes shortly after the first album. Glad she quit. This brought tears to my eyes and great memories. BTW she was also the Queen 👑 of shade 🤣 Thanks ReelBlack.
She picked them back up
@@ertfgghhhh who's EVANS?
@@michaelthompson8020 i beg ur pardon?
@Deangelo HALL. U.N.F GANG ENT i wish i could be with you my Bro.
She didn't quit ghe smokes until 1992 because her voice had all but gone, but by 1994 her voice had staged a resurgence and a big chunk of her top range returned.
Can't get enough of her~ A forever ICON who came to be a blessing-- was; still is and will always be!
Ms Aretha gives one's heart a new kind of religion beyond words. Ms Jenifer did a great job. The day 16th is a Special Spiritual day.
Remembering the year of Graduation 1968.. A year to be remembered Music Talent Gods Love for His People
This was one true lady. Lived life on her terms. Was not a follower, but a leader that paved the path for many others.
The husband sitting in her lap at the piano....can my elbows have room please damn
That annoyed me so much
I know insecure !he had her and didn't even know it. that's a damn shame!!!
Another Treasure from Reelblack's vault.🤗💖🤗💖🤗💖
Bobby Womack on lead guitar? Amazing!!
I thought that was him
The reenactment of this in the movie RESPECT was on point.
Aretha Franklin 👑.. What Talent With The Piano 🎹.. And Her Soulful Voice 🎶 🎶.. She Are The Queen Of Soul Music. R.I.P. And Thanks To Jennifer Hudson For Playing Aretha Franklin Bio 🙏 🕊 🙏 🕊.
LETS GIVE A BIG THANK YOU TO REELBLACK FOR POSTING THIS FOOTAGE ❤❤❤❤❤
Love this woman. The song CHAIN OF FOOLS.... oh I got a story!!!
Jennifer Hudson did a great job portraying Aretha Franklin also Forrest Whitaker as her dad and Marlon Wayans as her husband Ted White🙌🙌🙌
It is a great cast.
yeah that other african chick playing aretha is disrespectful joke
Marlon surprised me! He was great!!
@@christucker4739 yes he was
@@koguma.newyork1 Jackass , the so called African chick is British. Get it right. And even so our forefathers was hijacked here. Speak what you know.
Ohhh!!! She was exquisite! She brings it OUT! (RIP)
~♡~
Amazing footage!
That baby tho😂
I wish ms Aretha and Marvin Gaye had made some music together Can you imagine how truly great that would have been???
I JUST LOVE ARETHA FRANKLIN OUR QUEEN OF SOUL LOVE YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤ THANK OUR GOD FOR YOUR ANOINTING VOICE AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN 🙏 🙏 ❤ ❤
Love the unity in the studio. Music is a unifying force.
Genius raised in the hearth of genius.
7:43 producer Jerry Wexler asks Aretha about the differences between jazz and soul.
Aretha responds with a masterclass on rhythm piano.
Jennifer Hudson gave a excellent powerhouse performance portraying Aretha Franklin in her bio movie Respect. Even Marlon Wayans gave a great performance of his portrayal of Aretha's ex husband Ted White, both his voice and mannerisms were on point.
It’s back thank goodness!!!! Aretha will ALWAYS be the GOAT 🐐🔥🙌🏾♥️👏🏾🎶 None can compare to the Queen!!! The album she was working on was Lady Soul, which was one of her greatest albums 🔥🔥🔥 it is phenomenal through and through and a must listen!!! Btw Bobby Womack at 13:03
You're right about Aretha and I see Bobby Womack, too.
I thought that was Bobby Womack! Thanks for clearing that up.
I saw her movie, but was sadden about what happened to her as an innocent child. But God got her through it, because he had a plan for her life. RIP Ms. Franklin.
Oh how my dad loved her music and spirit. Now all her songs remind me of him.Great memories of both of them. It's since her death I see all he saw RIP
That looked like a young Bobby Wolmack on guitar in the studio with the Queen.
I think that was him.
I cannot see how this piece of real history could receive even one single thumbs down! I absolutely love the spirit of love and triumph in air, in the energy of all the beautiful faces, especially the children! That was priceless. Worth more than gold. We need to get back to this depth of love, agape love ...Jesus showed us the Way, we all just got distracted and lied to. No more. Lets make things right by Love. Not hate. By forgiveness not vengeance. By truth not deception.
What an inspiration. May she rest peacefully.🤍
Thank you for this, and thank you for including the “word from our sponsor, BF Goodrich, where exciting things are happening”. Off to go buy carpet padding and Aztran synthetic dress shoes for my next dippy power walking foot race, 😂 .
I love Ms. Aretha Franklin ♥. I MISS her and the Music Industry 🎶misses her.
A beautiful lady and awesome beautiful singing Voice 🎶❤. Very Talented and gifted from FATHER GOD IN HEAVEN.
Rest in Heavenly Peace OUR BEAUTIFUL LEGEND MS. ARETHA FRANKLIN.
A wonderful Lengend!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
MR. REELBLACK!!! I Truly Enjoyed Seeing And Hearing Our Queen Of Soul Sing And Talk!!! Truly A Resilient Lady, With A Big Heart And Richest Talent Rarely Matched!!! Jobs Well Done!!! RIHP Our Beautiful Songbird...Amen!!!
✝️🙏🏽💜🖤👑✌🏾✊🏾👊🏾✝️
She was absolutely beautiful. .
Cynthia Erivo did an excellent job as Aretha Franklin in the National Geographic series as well. Amazing cast and executive producers and musicians; Raphael Saadiq and Michael Bivens. Take the time to watch this indepth tribute. Cynthia's vocals transport you! A must watch.
Yes she did
I plan to watch it soon I just finish watching RESPECT but I must see Genius Aretha
@@latteliz1944 Please watch and you will not be disappointed I could not stop watching it
Ms. Erivo did an amazing job IMO. I haven’t seen Ms Hudson’s performance yet but I will soon. It’s no doubt in my mind that she also did an amazing job. I love the Queen so much that I can’t get enough of her life story lol
I love Aretha i listen to her almost every day their will never in this life time or in the eternity of existing of the world be another and I'm sure of this
beyond amazing voice her soul came through so much and from what we hear very giving when it came to the communities that were less fortunate/that had hardships she gave out a helping hand, it shows how beautiful her heart was while still being a huge star.
Happy Black History Month to the best of the best Queen in the world! RIP Aretha Franklin
I LOVE this album LADY SOUL, I discovered it only just in January of 2019!
The voice on that album is unmatched by anybody, ever in history, the best vocals ever put to tape. Aretha has no rivals.
"Being the Queen is not all about singing, and being a diva is not all about singing. It has much to do with your service to people. And your social contributions to your community and your civic contributions as well."🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jennifer played the movie so awesome. She was spot on with the voice and everything I just wish they would have put more years of her life in there.
Hudson voice sounds nothing like Aretha's, nobody's voice does. Are you hard of hearing?
i love learning as much as i can about her esp in those times of the world, her soulful voice was so heartfelt emotionally moving.
A favorite of mine is"baby,baby, baby",&"rock‐a-bye-your-baby-with-a-dixie melody" forever Aretha 💙 ❤ ♥ RIP 🙏
Great to see an Indigenous American Family being Profiled. Also, great that Mrs. Aretha Franklin is being portrayed by Ms. Jennifer Hudson another Indigenous American in the new film about Mrs Aretha Franklin's Life.
Didn't know THIS she s got talent here and still Lives in Memory of SOUL SISTER BEAUTIFUL ARETHA FRANKLIN keep singing HONEY
All of this is in the movie...Almost exactly like this. They were making this movie, within the movie!
13:50 "keep going over takes... When you smile you got it."
Damn, whether in the studio or in life in general, this is the essence of dedication to excellence and perseverance
So many gems in this one
Thanks for sharing this. It was good to watch after seeing the film.
Timeless. Magic. Beautiful.
I think that Jennifer did Aretha's legacy a great justice. Her singing with her own flavor didn't take away from the Queen' s soulish reputation. Koodos to J Hud
Aretha you are indeed the magnificent QUEEN OF SOUL!!! Your magnificent VOICE SENDS CHILLS down my SPINE!! You are soulful!! That's how great you are :)
Aretha Franklin's sista Carolyn Franklin was a genius ...on a low-key kinda way . She was hidden 💎
She should have won in the "pop" categories 💯
This is CLASSIC! Thank you @Reelblack!
I got the movie respect on 📀 and Aretha Franklin's CDs and the song she was singing is my favorite song right here ❤️
OMG her brother and sister were great singers too..The queen of soul and gospel in her voice is unmatched by any one except the king of soul.
If I had to pick my favourite singer it might be Aretha, RIP
These people were very well spoken. That ability to speak well has diminished in our modern society, unfortunately.
That’s subjective
@@djceo7232 It is not really subjective. It is more observational. I cannot be subjective about something I was not their to experience. I can, however, observe that they appeared to be well spoken.
As for modern society, when you have too many people who struggle to make grammatically correct sentences and make them make sense, that does appear to be a lack of something. Now, it could be that too many are being given the microphone for that purpose. Please don't get me wrong, there are some super smart people out here trying to speak truth. I know they exist. I just wish we would see more of them.
Now, is that better? I wish we saw more strong conversations and rhetoric from scholarly, but humble people. I don't know if it would make things better, but I can hope. Thank you for your comment.
Aretha is a musical genius. The 🐐
This is great! Just saw “RESPECT”. Thank you!!
They did such a good job with reenacting this scene in the movie.
Man thanks for this one Mike. Classic
WoW this was wonderful ! Thanks for posting this
This was absolutely amazing. Thanks 😊!
Thank you Jennifer Hudson for honoring The Queen of Soul in the movie about Aretha Franklin beautiful
wooooow a gem
I am that little girl they zoomed in on and did a close up, at the church New Bethel singing ‘the Lord is blessing me’ Dorothy Winslo Waddell
AWWW😇💕💕💕😇 AT WHAT MARK OF THE VIDEO ARE YOU IN???
Wow❤❤❤❤
❤️
Your era was a beautiful time for the black community. So many great leaders and legends were alive during this time. You are truly a blessed legend by God!❤️
@@sistasoal ❤️❤️❤️
After watching the National Geographic TV series, it helped me to understand the lyrics of most of her songs. No amount of money and fame could heal those deep wounds. Makes me really rethink the whole entire Baptist church culture .
I had seen footage or snippets from this before, but never the entire feature. I commend the people that authorized the camera to follow her at that time. Seeing her early years and collaborations with musicians, Bobby Womack, and others creating her sound then, was incredible. The producers and Carolyn helping her to get it right was an added touch to detail that made her reign perfection. My thanks to the posting of this. It is a worth story to be shared.
This is awesome! What history!
😎
