talk about a song that can make you cry....i was listenin on the way to work one mornin and had to pull over and go back home i couldnt stop cryin!!!!!!!!!
@comiccalk i was wondering if there is a way i can get any of Aretha's gospel concerts like this one on dvd? Any info i would appreciate it thanks so much!
this is why she is the queen ! she does things with her voice that no one can do! it's not about hitting high and loud notes, its the subtle things that she does that set her apart has the top diva ever! Her voice is not even like it used to be but being a true diva it doesn't make any difference! she will kill any song, any time, and any place!
He is the light of the World. I played this many times in my life, and the last was on Hammond Organ at Bebee Memorial church in Oakland California .
I hear there is a video of this performance somewhere. Aretha recorded one of my songs for an HBO series, but after 2 takes she had one of her Diva moments and walked out of the studio, and it was never released.
Not sure why they fade out right in the heart of the bridge, but, to sell records? maybe: still, the genius of the Black Gospel call&response and Aretha's magical phrasing throughout, oh, wish I had been there. 22 yrs. ago: youtube is so cool, we get to hear it all once again, in a different world, now. But one thing is still the same: Jesus is still the Light of the World. thanks for whoever posted this. Will subscribe to this channel for sure.
This was the introduction to a candlelight service. The choir was processing into the sanctuary of the church from the back, holding candles and singing. Very dramatic and inspiring.
I SURE Wish that they had FINISHED this, recording-wise, I mean! I KNOW they did at the church!!!! heh heh! I've ALWAYS wanted to HEAR the culmination! Maybe someday.........it may leak out somewhere!
I know Aretha has made some great secular hits but Gospel is her signature I don't care what nobody says. That's her roots & what I like abt her she'll tell u that's where she started & continues to be rooted & grounded. It's just in her. Praise Him!!
Aretha has never performed a Concert that I've attended where she did not sing at least 2 gospel songs, generally at the ending. I used to attend her father's Revivals as a young teen when living in Detroit, MI many years ago. :-)
Thanks for the comment on my other video. I have to give a big thanks to you, because this video inspired me to buy the entire album off of itunes and listen to it more thoroughly. I had only had a few of the mp3's before this.
this was the first gospel song i ever owned on tape deck....I was about 5 or 6 and played this song over and over....you have no idea how much this brings back...thanks for posting this :)
lord have mercy,,,,, sing the song ms. franklin,,,,, sing it!!!!

Aretha, in my opinion, sounds better singing Gospel and not her current genre of music...However, Jesus is indeed the light of the world...
