Aretha bought carpet from the company I worked for. I talked to her on the phone, and took a message from "Miss Franklin" for the boss. Growing up in Motown, Aretha was the queen and her voice flavored our lives in a big way. It's fun to think I've spoken to royalty!
Was she living in Wabeek at the time? I am also, from Motown .
@@ML-un1oi My boss had her address under conceal. I know it was in Blmfld Hls. I remember the original Wabeek farm, and when the house and barn burned down.
She also had a house on Echo rd. In Bloomfield twp. Which burned
HAIL TO THE QUEEN!! As a 72 yr old southern Caucasian, IMO she’s the greatest female vocalist I’ve ever heard. PERIOD!
I remember watching her sing live on TV in the late 60’s. My Dad was watching and afterwards he said: “ I don’t know who she is, but that woman can sing!!” As he got to hear more of her, she became one of his favorite singers regardless of sex.
She was, is, and always be the Queen IMO.
Check out her “owning” the song Natural Woman (written by Carole King).
I like her early work but then she got away from Soul and I felt those later songs were mediocre. No reflection on her singing abilities. I feel the same way about Tina Turner. She was great when singing the Blues with Ike. Later on, not so much for my taste.
I wasn't necessary to mention your race, you just know great music😊
My race is human; my ethnicity is Caucasian.
Fabulous Aretha- the clarity of her voice!
Cliff Richard was England’s biggest pop star before the Beatles and the British music revolution in rock.
Always enjoy your show!
Always a pleasure to hear from you!!
I’ll admit it now - was a revival mod, 79ish, but I loved cliff’s wired for sound 😎
Aretha. The best singer to ever walk this planet.
She’s the Queen!! Simply amazing ❤️
Must see her live at 1st Baptist 1972 Amazing Grace. Sings so soulful that she almost collapses. I have the DVD. Makes my cry.
Bernard Purdie on drums and Chuck Rainey on bass.
Thanks men!
Right on!
Aretha is the GWOAT!! I said that Carly Simon voice gives me goosebumps. Aretha voice gives goosebumps and makes the hair on my arms stand up. Fellas now you are cooking with greese. I am always down to more Aretha. Thanks fellas for the excellent reaction!!
Aretha’s singing is soooo much more than her spectacular vocal instrument - every ounce of her is channeled through her singing. Try turning the sound down and watch - I feel I can “hear” her through eyes and the energy in her face and body. She’s just so present. Her playing is also so integral.
People don't talk enough about the expression of emotion when it comes to singing and playing an instrument.
Not only was she a fantastic singer, but also a great piano player!
God rest her soul. She was incredible. She covered for Povrotti(sorry, I'm wrecking the spelling of the famous Italian opera singer) Two weeks notice, and had to learn the whole show in Italian. Super human. I'm sure you can still find it on TH-cam. It was probably 20yrs ago now.
One of the great performances of all time. Cliff Richard is huge in the UK & had a hit in the US w Devil Woman.
The Queen. The GOAT. The legend. I must have watched this literally hundreds of times.
Thank you for not interrupting the video to comment! Her genius is overwhelming. Honestly, the talent level is far above even the best videos you guys review.
More Aretha please and thank you 😊 Love y'all!
So thrilled you reacted to this. One of my favourite Aretha songs and performances. Scary talent. I mean actually scary. She's the greatest. She just is. A lot of people think about Aretha in her later years as a larger than life woman who was a big character, but you go back to her 60s and 70s albums and live performances and it's just on a different level. So much soul, so much musicality. Bringing the church into your front room. Love, love, love my Aretha.
Aretha and Stevie, the MOST inspiring voices in music, period. oh and, ELVIS COSTELLO. WATCHING THE DETECTIVES. FROM THE ALBUM "MY AIM IS TRUE". GAME CHANGER.
Aretha was, is & ever will be the Queen, what a voice! ♥️
The one and only QUEEN of Soul Ms Aretha Franklin ❤️
Her voice has got it all and she is just the absolute best.
My favorite!!! Mom’s vinyl of Aretha’s Greatest Hits was the first time I heard that song and I still love it better than all the others. I think it’s because she plays the riff AND sings it so soulfully ❤❤. When I got the same album on CD, this song just stayed on repeat 🔁 🎉
Aretha's father was a famous minister. The TV Show was in the UK. I'm so glad your mom will enjoy this.
In Smokey Robinson's autobiography he tells of the first time he met Aretha Franklin when he was a kid. Many of the future Motown stars, like himself, lived in a 6 to 8 block area in Detroit, which was also the home of the Rev. C. L. Franklin, a very famous Baptist minister and civil rights activist of the day, who just happened to be Aretha's father. Smokey spoke of going into the parlour of the Franklin home and seeing a 3 or 4 year old little girl, (Aretha), playing away on the piano and singing WELL. So, Chi, I'm guessing that you're absolutely right about her informal, church-foundation piano training. And nobody STILL "takes us to church" quite like Sista 'Re. 💕
Mavis Staples comes close.
That was a British TV show, Cliff was a singer and he had a Saturday night TV show on BBC.
To be able to sing and play the piano like that is amazing. James Cleveland worked with Ms. Franklin when she was a child and her mother played the piano it was in her DNA.
Can You Imagine going to Her Daddies Church here in Detroit with Aretha and Her Sister Erma Singing ?
Hey, y'all, check out Aretha's version of "The Weight," backed by Duane Allman. Also, please don't overlook Leon Russell on piano. He played on so many hit songs, it'll blow your mind. He was also a world-class songwriter ("A Song for You," "This Masquerade," "Back to the Island," "Tightrope," "Crystal Closet Queen" (written for Little Richard).
One of the greatest musical artists of the 20th century.
no one like her! Even her piano playing hits your soul.
I am also going to send this to my mom immediately, her favorite artist as well, I've never heard this before or seen this...thank you.
Aretha's father was the most famous preacher in Detroit in the 1960's. She grew up singing and playing the piano. Everybody in Detroit knew about her before she started making records. BTW. Women wore slacks (pants) all the way back to the 1940's. I'm an OG from Detroit living in New York
Thanks for the info my friend!! We appreciate you!!
R.I.P. Aretha Franklin Queen of Soul..
Peep the backup singer in the black pantsuit. That's Cissy Houston, Whitney's mom.
This is beautiful. Never heard it and super glad I did. Thank you for keeping music alive in this way. For real. ❤❤❤
She is the standard by which all others should be measured.
My parents used to play this all time back In day. Tx for the memories fellas!
She recorded at muscle Shoals recording studios, using the house band the swampers, who were all white, which should surprise most people because I always figure she was from Motown. Lynyrd Skynyrd mentioned the swampers in their song Sweet Home Alabama. They won many Grammys, including some with her.
One of my favorite movie scenes of all time in The Blies Brothers where she and Matt "guitar" Murphy run a greasy spoon dinner and as the brothers are taking Matt with them, she is singing Respect.
Smokey Robinson used to see Aretha singing and playing in church in Detroit when she was young, and he said she played 'complex church chords.'
1970 when I first heard this aged sixteen. Growing up in the north west of England having no connection whatsoever with "black" music I was surprisingly and immediately hooked by her voice and love it to this day 👍🇬🇧
Love, love, love Aretha! Thank you!
WOW‼️😃
Never heard this before, & damn sure never knew Miss Aretha could play the piano 🎹 ❗️
Thanks Guys!!!
(the looks on your faces was priceless.. thinkin mine was the same! 😲)
I was fortunate enough to see Aretha Franklin in 1965 and Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1968...right place, right time...
This song has been covered by SOOOO many artist. This one is great! That being said, my favorite is by R.B. Greaves he just imbues it with so much pathos.
Aretha voice is like home...it always takes me there! There is a version of The Weight by THE BAND that she does with Duane Allman and you have no idea how much you to hear it. Great pick
I've never seen you guys so mesmerized.
And I do believe one of those backup singers is her cousin Cissy Houston, a/k/a Whitney's mother. Royalty.
Wow, this was mind blowingly fantastic. I know many of her songs and have seen many of these videos, but haven't seen this one with her playing piano. What a singular talent she was.
The Queen of soul legend
Carly and Aretha on the same day! Dang. Way to go Laa! Way to go Chee!
Very cool. Didn't know she played piano. ❤
Maybe my all-time favorite double-sided hit record is Aretha's "Since You've Been Gone" b/w "Ain't No Way" (1968). These songs will give you chills. "Ain't No Way" has been covered by many artists including Jennifer Hudson but Aretha's version is on my Top Twenty All-Time Favorite Songs list.
There will never be another Aretha. I haven’t heard it before, that was beautiful thank you both.
Aretha is absolutely one of the greatest soul singers. and she's good on that piano too. Check out Aretha Franklin Live at the Fillmore. Absolutely unbelievable.
This was Aretha's latest UK release when she appeared on the top rating Cliff Richard show. Thankfully the producers of the show sat her at the piano. This live version maybe better than the studio version.
It was originally a US hit for Ben E. King in 1962. Ben and Aretha!! Two great voices. If I was this song I'd be flattered.
Simply the best!!!!! Aretha was so talented and was loved by all!!!!!!!!
Ive never seen this performance
That was amazing
Never heard of that show either
The Queen and Sir Cliff are from different sets of nobility.
And one of those background singers is her sister
Growing up with the giants of yesterday was mighty rich.
Whoa, big yes for all the Aretha music! Love her! 🔥
Never knew she could play piano.. vocals are incredible ❤
There are deep gospel roots in this song, miss Aretha brought it that day
Damn that’s a soulful woman…love her music and message!
A talent beyond comprehension! ❤❤❤❤🇬🇧
I feel very lucky that I grew up in a time where we had great Motown and rock and roll
Blown away by her banging the keys! ❤❤
Some songs and artists are just beyond awesome, here we have such an example
never have seen this, and will be watching it often. thank you 🙂
I bought a Best Of Aretha CD from Rhino Records in Quadrophonic. Unreal.
Never heard this but, it was fabulous !!
I think she could pick up a newspaper and sing out the front page copy and it would be amazing. Such talent. My favorite from her is “Until You Come Back To Me”
Aretha such a natural.
Gifted! That was amazing. Rock on.
The Queen!
Ahh brought out the ladies today!!🎼🎵
🫡 legendary ❤woman/voice
Woah. Didn’t realize until the end that I forgot to look at your reaction. Guess I’ll have to watch it again. 😂
Never seen this video before. Captivating.
Leaves me speechless lol thanks for playing this one!
God save the queen, RIP
I'm a grown ass man and she can reduce me to tears. Or maybe it's those backing singers.
Incredible.
Bout time you got to the QUEEN!
This is an absolutely gorgeous and lively performance, and Aretha makes it look so effortless!!
The GOAT.
🙌🙌🙌🙌The greatest to ever do it.
Aretha Franklin
Chaka Khan. Then.........
Whitney Houston
Proper music.❤
Brilliant! Nice one guys.
I like all those old talk shows...the band plays live and out of sight! Jimmy Fallon carries on the tradition with The Roots!!!!!
Yeah. Wow. Just wow.
Sensational. !
Saw her in concert in the old Cleveland Municipal stadium. Thought her voice was gonna make that old structure crumble.
WE have all of Aretha's records and I have been listen to her since 1967
You can’t believe how often she was on tv ,captivating the nation ☮️
I’ve heard that Aretha was a child prodigy at the piano and if I’m not mistaken, she actually studied opera. She stood in at the Grammy’s for her good friend, Luciano Pavarotti when he suddenly fell ill and sang Nessun Dorma beautifully.
I don't think I've ever seen you two so enthralled
How music should be😊
Go back and watch your own reaction to hearing this legend perform… precious!
What presence.
The Queen of Soul !!!! Enough Said
Everyone is silent watching / listening - SILENT
One thing to say - and, I've said it before, Gentlemen: YOUR MAMA's got GREAT TASTE!!!
