Ok, she sounds pretty good on this, she always has had incredible backup singers. Must be pretty intimidating auditioning to sing for Aretha Franklin you'd have to be an outstanding singer to attempt that one.
Aretha is the UNDISPUTED queen of Soul for a reason! She STILL got it and now I see why this video got 13,426 views. This is my first time seeing it and it will never be and I'm favorite this video NOW!
i dont like her voice as a senior ,, she runs out of breath a lot.,, diana ross,tina turner,gladys knight,pattie labelle still sings good now that they're in the 60's,and tina is 70
That run on He is the reason at 3:27 is a killer. Just like a organ from high to low she moves through her octaves. This woman is a master at her instrument.
Take 'em to church Aretha! Yes Jesus is the reason!! Glad to see Brenda, Fonzi, Tawatha, (who looks great slimmed down) and the Oh so lovely Cindy Mizelle. (Marry me Cindy and just sing to me) All past Luther Vandross alumni backgrond vocalist. Aretha is my all time favorite vocalist. Glad to see the background vocalist staying busy what great talent they all have. :o) Thanks for posting.
Brenda White, Fonzi Thorton, Tawatha Agee, Cindy Mizelle are singing behind Aretha. U can look up Fonzi Thorton, Tawatha Agee, And Cindy Mizelle they all have solo stuff on youtube. Tawatha was with Mtume, remember the song Juicey Fruit.
that explains this great background sound then. when i first got the cd i thought, i don't know who these people are, but they are truly sangin'. they give her a great sound.
Agree with you 100% - they're lookin' & sounding so good & still performing together after so many years! You know what it sounds like Luther could have actually arranged these background vocals - they obviously learned a lot from him over the years!
@afg1927 Same here! Aretha is my ALL-TIME favorite vocalist EVER! R.I.P Albertina Walker. I have a tribute to the Queen of Gospel on my channel that I just posted a couple of days ago. I can't touch Aretha but you'll be blessed and and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ! Enjoy!!!

I love Aretha. I wish she would get her weight down, though. It's so unhealthy as you get older.

I was disappointed with the studio version of this song, so glad I got a great live version now!

I wish I had known that she was on, I would've had it on, but oh well.. thanks for sharing! Aretha sounds great

Looks like she wanted to cut lose but she had to calm down slightly because she was singing with a live band. She sounds wonderful!

That should say she wasn't singing with a live band.

MAN! Aretha seemed so lively. She looked great and sounded just as nice. seeing her perform this makes it even better. Thanks for sharing.
