Great piece of music history seeing Aretha live. For certain most live gigs can only / are best appreciated when you are there. Watching a video like this, if you weren't there, is a bit like kissing your sister ! Listen to the studio recording - preferably in a club - if you want to get what it's all about.

i dont know why people always talking about looks.... that is why our music today is so much garbage and the real singers cant get a chance to sing nowadays cause its all about looks ....
I think she has a beautiful voice she may not look perfect in the eyes of everyone .But anyone who can sing like her, has a INTER BEAUTY . Just because something don't look perfect on the outside don't mean they don't have a heart of gold on the inside. This is my favorite song.
Barbra Streisand? Are you kidding me? She has a beautiful voice, sure. But, come on. No one even comes close to Aretha. Every female singer since then has tried to sound just like Aretha, not Barbra. To be honest, they have different styles. It is apples and oranges to some degree...except that we all know Aretha is the best., not just the best American singer.
@stevesg92 Totally agree with you there stevesg92. However, Aretha, is the greatest African-American singing voice ever to grace the plant earth...in my humble opinion, that is. Peace! =)
Chaim Levine. He needs to watch the movie 2010: The Year We Make Contact. And the X-Files movie I Want To Believe. And Woody Allen's movie Everyone Says I Love You, the film where Drew Barrymore makes the comment that humans control nothing.
listen here chuckmcfinley she cant help she big now she has diabetes and that is an illness i have a 6 yr old son that has that and you do gain weight from having diabetes even if you do manage it so before you cap on someone i would think about it first !!!!!!!!!!!
Check out Big Mama Thornton and Buddy guy; for a big woman: while your at it check out Big Mama Thornton Hound dog and make sure you see a live performance where she is wearing a Plaid shirt, there is another from the same show where her and five guys each with their own technique on the harp, she also plays harp on that, it's called Hometown get down or something like that. Very sexy woman for sure.
Why do people have to comment on her size & shit ? Its about the music & the fact that Arthea Franklin has one of the most powerful voices! Not to mention this song kicks ass!
why don't people understand that as long as you try to judge musical artists by their appearance you will be listening to garbage? Was Aretha Franklin one of the best looking women of her time, well no. She only had "the voice of God", but that was enough to sell records. video really did kill the radio star
@farneyblakeley I agree with you. I think the only great singer who benefitted from video exposure is Whitney. Although she wasn't as great as Aretha, her image on screen did enhance her powerful vocals. She would've been big before videos. But they magnified her success. Most of the others who came out after her couldn't sing but were very camera-friendly.
@farneyblakeley By 1970 she was looking pretty tasty in my opinion; I don't think we should be to sanctimonious about all this, looking like he did didn't do Elvis any harm or Hendrix or Morrison etc etc.....but where today's music business is concerned I do agree with you.
@farneyblakeley ya no shit man, just seeing comments about adele or any larger woman it's pathetic. Lord above this is the world we live in, and apparantly we have to share it with judgemental bastards that judge purely over appearance...
Sound quality is whack. I just came from Eva Cassidy's version. She pays a great tribute to Lady Soul. It is so crisp and the video is excellent. We know who the MASTER is, but I will give Eva a nod cause she really does tear it up. Love you Aretha your music is the song track of my life and I would imagine every woman on this earth!

Hey! Such a nice video. I really like good music, not the stuff of these days...
This is your case too? Nice! You'd like to check out my new channel, MariosSoul.
It's all about good, REAL music! You won't be able to find any Lady Caca nor Justin Bieber vids. there (NO WAY). Feel invited to relive the old days with songs from the 50 ', 60', 70 ', 80's and more!
Just a side note: Don't you just love the choreography? This was the hallmark of very early (50's) music, which was the first and only real "rock n roll." What is called rock n roll today is actually "rock." Not the same as Little Richard, The Bobettes, Danny and The Juniors, and a jillion others. Inductees into the rock n roll hall of fame today are not the real deal, but if you aren't an old guy like me, you wouldn't know the difference. Some good music, just not "rock n roll" that's all.
The choreography, the girls, the "doop doop doop", the musical reinforcement of singer's delivery "Yes, yes, yes" - "No, no, no" - fantastic! My heart always skips a beat when I walk into a show and I see two or three mikes for the backup singers :-) I was mesmerised (like everyone else) by the backup singers at the two Steely Dan concerts I saw - trust the Dan to bring that touch of R&R glamour and taste into their shows :-)
@mizzterE Actually, I hear a "Major 3rd (E)" in the horn line. It appears that the rhythm section has omitted the 3rd scale degree. One cannot determine if it is in a minor or major key, but the horn line told the truth.
I agree - one of the horns is hitting an E natural repeatedly. The alternation between Cm7 and C7 is subtle and gives the tune more bite and interest anyway (this effect reminds me of the opening of Thus Spake Zarathustra, as
popularized by the King :-)). Sliding into the occasional maj 3rd in a min7 situation on your way to the m3rd or 4th is always a good move :-)
Also the backup singers seem to me to be singing a C maj triad on the ooh -ooh ooh stabs (for instance at 1'05), but this just reinforces the power of the C m7 when it comes back (for example at 1.21 - listen to the trumpets - Cm at 1.21 and then Cmaj at 1.25 - the Zarathustra effect :-)
your right... Its just C blues... whole song is basically a big C7#9. Has E and Eb. So its Cmin blues scale same as Eb blues scale over a C7#9 blues chord... our ear doesnt hear it as major and back to minor, like some are saying. Its just messin around on a C dominant blues.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
She may be the Queen of Soul,but it is time for the crown to handed over to someone else and there are a lot of contenders,my first choice,Patti Labelle.
@TheHEARSEDRIVER back in the day women with curves and a healthy body were sexy. Marilyn Monroe wore a size 12 dress and a size 8 pants, not sizes 2 or 0.
Hurting people hurt people, that is a fact. Your negative comments mean nothing to her, for she is a legend. I pray and hope those of you making negative comments one day feel better deep down into your core, your roots than what you feel today. This is a free country so say and write what you feel. Sometimes it hard to appreciate goodness when your life is awful and pitiful.
This is so very true. However, in the Afr. Amer. culture there has been generations of pain and hurt passed down, and a whole lot of it hasn't been discussed as it is nowadays. It hasn't been processed in the positive, bringing positive results, healed lives and restored self worth, individually and as a group. This needs to be factored in. Forgiveness and mercy need to be given in huge amounts. None of us is perfect, though talented and incredibly gifted. The woman has a voice!
Aretha Franklin...you got soul. Skinny, fat, slender, bony, full figure...beautiful, pretty, gorgeous, ugly, and super ugly what ever your case and others...Aretha Franklin you sing so well. She is alive and not dead so we shall honor her, as many are doing Micheal Jackson for he is now dead.
I'm sorry, but Aretha is the Queen of Soul and can sing a hell of a lot better then everyone I've heard. So you can't be one to judge. Take your negative comments and take them somewhere else because they're not needed here.
This concert is taken from a swedish tv broadcast when Aretha Franklin and her band visited Sweden back in 1968. They re-run the whole concert on swedish tv nine years ago. Fantastic concert. I have it on videotape unfortunately. It was a very special moment for her because His Royal Highness crown prince Carl Gustaf was in the audience later Carl XVI Gustaf King of Sweden.

It hasn't been processed in the positive, bringing positive results, healed lives and restored self worth, individually and as a group. This needs to be factored in. Forgiveness and mercy need to be given in huge amounts. None of us is perfect, though talented and incredibly gifted. The woman has a voice!

Aretha Franklin...you got soul. Skinny, fat, slender, bony, full figure...beautiful, pretty, gorgeous, ugly, and super ugly what ever your case and others...Aretha Franklin you sing so well. She is alive and not dead so we shall honor her, as many are doing Micheal Jackson for he is now dead.

I'm sorry, but Aretha is the Queen of Soul and can sing a hell of a lot better then everyone I've heard. So you can't be one to judge. Take your negative comments and take them somewhere else because they're not needed here.

I'd agree but you can still hear it. The reason is because its a TV broadcast.

This concert is taken from a swedish tv broadcast when Aretha Franklin and her band visited Sweden back in 1968. They re-run the whole concert on swedish tv nine years ago. Fantastic concert. I have it on videotape unfortunately. It was a very special moment for her because His Royal Highness crown prince Carl Gustaf was in the audience later Carl XVI Gustaf King of Sweden.

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF SOUL!
I was there in the mid sixties . . . heard it and felt it very well.
But never saw this video. It is further proof of Aretha's mastery of the art form.
Aretha Franklin. The Queen of Soul.
