  • what the hell where the people behind Aretha laughing about?... show some respect people you're at a funeral, not a damn pool party!!!:[

  • The Queen of Soul

  • Sang 'Retha!

  • I LOVE ARETHA!!!....in this video she looks like Kim Burrell

  • America always loves to change it just takes people like Miss Parks to start it

  • Wait, Can sumbody fill me in on wut was said so I can get ignant and yes I meant ignant that means I kno but ima act like I dont kno!!!!

  • Some people seem to think were going to forget about all the work done by Miss. Parks. Were not. We never will.

    The point is: Don't forget it. Just don't bring it up so damn much. Stop making things into a race row and so some respect for the dead.

  • God Bless Mrs. Parks. God Bless the great Aretha as she has us so many times with her song!

  • I have blocked all comments that are rude and disrespectful

  • Aretha need to go ahead and preach! come on here!

  • @bigbadwolfboy456 Thanks man!

  • @wiggiecl73 OK, there should have been an it before the is, I apologize. Also, once again, you are stupid! Learn what a word means before you use it. Progressive means "advancing" or "promoting or favoring progress toward better conditions or new policies, ideas, or methods", which means you know that loving the whole human race, no matter what color of skin is right, you are just too damn stupid and stubborn to join everyone! There's some more truth for you dumb ass!

  • total troll pollution from some round here, amazing what people do to amuse themselves when they could enjoy the video

  • I'm so glad to that this fucking nigger cunt is finally dead. I blame this fucking whore for everything that's wrong with America. She didn't even have the right to be on that bus...she should of been drug behind the bus until she was dead

  • @wiggiecl73 I am from Britain and you sir are a deranged and sick person.You are less than an animal and you are still living in the 18th century.Lastly hate will never get you anywhere.What are you afraid of the colour of people's skin.May the LORD heal your sick mind before you die because there is no colour in the afterlife.

  • @inspirewisdom I'm not deranged and sick I'm a perfectly healthy white man. It's not my fault that I'm superior to the blacks. What's your problem with me? Your a white person aren't you...what are you defending this nigger cunt for. I'm so glad she dead, they should of killed her as soon as she refused to move to the back...WHERE SHE BELONGED

  • @wiggiecl73 SHE LIVED A LONGTIME IT WAS HER CALLING TO COME HOME SHE DID WHAT SHE HAD TO DO AND WATCHED HOW EVERYONE CAME TOGETHER IAM NOT RACIST ONE BIT IM BLACK AND I LOVE MY PEOPLE EQUALLY I WASNT RAISED TO HATE BUT TO LOVE AND I THANK MS ROSA FOR NOT GIVING UP HER SEAT BECUZ NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ANY ONE SO MAY GOD BLESS YOUR HEART I NO U HAVE SOME SWEETNESS TO IT BUT LETS NOT ARGUE AND FIGHT BUT REUNITE GOD IM ASKING U TO FORGIVE HIM.

  • @wiggiecl73 Haha, okay, you can't come at a person about race and where they should belong when you can't even get your grammar and word choice together. "I dont think God doesnt let blacks into heaven"? First off, dude, you contratdicted yourself with "dont" and "doesn't" so you just sound dumb and ignorant right now. I'm Caucasian and Sioux Native American (white and indian incase those words were to complex for you) and I'm pretty ashamed to even partially be in the same race as you.

  • @bigbadwolfboy456 First off Indian Savage dumbass, you know very well what I meant. I'm not some fucking idiot that goes through my youtube comments to make sure that I've got everything spelled right and I don't check to makes sure the sentence is grammatically correct, it's a waste of fucking time. However a fucking moron like you who has no other ammunition to use you must attack the fact that I accidentally used a double negative.

  • @wiggiecl73 Second, man, if you don't like the system then just get the fuck out. Okay? I hate it when people bitch and moan about how bad America has gotten. You can degrade and make an attempt to trash talk me. I've heard it all before, so it's not going to be like you'll be the first to ever say them. I'm sure you've gotten some punk-ass words thrown at you too. I just find it funny that you're arguing with a Black woman and claim that Whites are superior when she has better writing skills

  • @wiggiecl73 I am from Britain and you sir wiggiecl73 are a deranged and sick person.You are less than an animal and you are still living in the 18th century.Lastly hate will never get you anywhere.What are you afraid of the colour of people's skin.May the LORD heal your sick mind before you die because there is no colour in the afterlife.

  • @wiggiecl73 I am an 18 yr old white boy and I still think you are full of shit! You have no right to talk about anyone that way! People like YOU are what is wrong with America, I am going to stoop as lowly as you right now when i say if anyone deserves to be dead is YOU, because you are a rotten S.O.B. and you need to come to the 21st century, life isn't like that anymore, and if you can' t realize that, then you are just as stupid as your wonderful grammar makes you seem!

  • @Howlandtiger91 I'll say again, just like I told that indian fuck earlier, I misplaced a word, excuse me for not going through and editing my comments. It's called a double negative and I doubt you picked that up in English class so I'll try and explain it to you. I wrote "I don't think God doesn't let blacks into heaven" the two words "don't" and "doesn't" cancel each other out therefore it appears I said that God does let blacks into heaven. But that's just preposterous.

  • @wiggiecl73 ???????

  • @wiggiecl73

    Well that wasn't a very nice thing to say. I take it you would like to live in a segregated world? hmm. Sorry i think people have other ideas. Black people are human being's just like you and me. Show some respect.

  • Egh, the people mad at Aretha in this video are just mad their send-off won't be this emotive and soulful...do yo' thang, Queen! Mx

  • Why is it that everytime a funeral or church gathering occurs, we have to cuss? I have yet to understand where the respect for reverence is and for the family. Remember, a family member may be looking at this. Ms. Aretha Franklin has made history and she is history. Now she has one of the hardest tasks - to sing about a woman with known history. Rosa Parks death affected everyone of all race, color, and creed. The least we can do is respect the webpage. I pray for not offending anyone.

  • Thank you for the video. This is wonderful.

  • Oh Ms. Franklin, sang that song!

  • I'm looking for the video where Aretha Franklin sang the Star Spangled Banner at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. It was awesome, but I can't find it now.

  • She did great

  • @oneloveatatime - thank you for this and the

    the other videos!

    Aretha still is one of the best female singers.

  • yall look at the white ppl look like oh lawd not this, i don't know what to do this, lol!

  • All hail the Queen!!!!!!!!!!

  • I think her Daddy done came and visted! Talk CL JR LOL LOL

  • @jamalwebster

    okay CL FRANKLIN IN DA HOUSE!

  • Always the First Lady of Soul... what a national treasure she is... I love you Aretha... the world loves you...

  • I was among thousands of us proud Detroiters who waited outside the church in the 25 degree cold Detroit temperatures for eleven hours To honor "Mother Rosa Parks". I could care less about bishop Ellis, A SELL OUT PREACHER, Our Corrupted Governor, and the rest of those SELL OUT dignitaries and polititions! I stood in the cold to honor Mother Rosa for being a FIGHTER for the right and not taking the BS no damn more! and for Queen Aretha to send Mother Rosa home proper!

  • @mostick313 There you go mostick313... see you're authentic and genuine and that is truly what God sees.

  • I love you Rosa Parks!!! Thank you for EVERYTHING!

  • This is the type of music that inspires my music. Check it out on my youtube channel here: The333rd

    Please subscribe and watch our videos!!

  • Queen Franklin! She sings for Rosa Parks. The black woman who refused to sit in the back of the bus because of her colour ! Respect she made equal rights for black people possible. Queen Franklin also song for Obama the first black president. RESPECT.

  • when did this happen

  • She sounds fine to me. Remember we're not hearing the best quality. It's a funeral which is about a persons showing of respect or love to the passed not about who's singing the best. This was a long funeral program so Aretha's 7 mins wasn't that long when compared to the time fo the speakers.

  • I could listen to Aretha sing all day long....

  • shes the queen of all

  • Why can't people just watch the damn video without bringing up race and being racist assholes? If you don't like black people then don't watch the damn video!!! Doesn't that make sense?????

  • They cannot watch it because they are ignorant assholes who must continue to perpetuate their brand of racism and bigotry! Ignore individuals like this and praise the lord for the day that Rosa Parks stood up to Jim Crow and from that day forward Jim Crow had to yield to the power, strength and courage of a people who would no longer take the treatment that they were given! Praise our mothers and fathers and friends who marched, and sweat and endured the racism, and the threats of death!

  • @nishaboston Would it be silly to talk about civil disobedience also? Or her sex? You know, little uncomfortable topics like that?

    It would be like talking about an astronaut without talking about physical stamina, superior math skills or intense determination. Wouldn't it? Sweeping it under the carpet won't make it go away. That's what she taught us, isn't it? Sit down and be counted. :-) God Bless You, Rosa Parks.

  • @nishaboston I've wanted to say that for a long time. Thanks for saying it for me.

  • @nishaboston No, my friend; it would be too much like doing the right thing..

  • @nishaboston TRUE!!

  • @nishaboston Black Folk HAVE to bring it up, so it won't ever be forgotten why it happened, why we were brought her, and why we survived...and Miss Rosa stood for the defiance and the determination to stand up against a corrupt and cruel system. She was not moved, and that was the defining moment of the Civil Rights Movement. We shall NEVER FORGET!!!

  • @nishaboston Because this land was founded on RACISM. It is a very real issue of our existence. Because racist parents decided to continue to teach it to their children and their children their children and their children their children.. . . . .

  • @nishaboston

    I don't understand why some people don't like blacks: Black girls are hot!

  • What do these too have in common? they are niggers. Fat lazy niggers. One wouldn't get her ass to the back of the bus. The other one won't shut her smelly coon disc lips.

  • @TrollsYoBitch Wow before you go browsing around youtube being a racist fool someone needs to slap your stupid ass with a dictionary! If you are going to insult someone at least learn how to spell! You have a problem with people of color but you don't have a problem searching for videos with these types of people. Get a damn life idiot!

  • butthurt much?

  • @TrollsYoBitch have mercy on yo soul! it is something wrong with you! Dont nobody say nothing about yall crazy white folk

  • @TrollsYoBitch  Sie vermissten Ihren Hafen. Hitler ist tot.

  • Can anyone translate sistasues' stuff?

    I mean, I too wnat to see an end to racisim on this planet, but she seems to be trying to type in patoi, and she really missed the mark!

    If you wish to type in code, do it in the chatrooms you were complaining about, we have intelligent posters on youtube, (most of the time).

  • I find it oddly amusing to read post of one "Christian" bashing another... Truth be told, "A SAINT IS JUST A SINNER WHO GOT BACK UP AGAIN!" So please, I mean seriously, do us all a favor and get off of your soap boxes!!

  • Amen.

  • when she died all these peeps came out to get there faces in the cams.....where were they when she was living in a housing project and got mugged n robbed? in there homes layin on there fat asses waiting for the next funeral appeance tying to look good sayin i was there......all fakes

  • amen

  • Preach Aretha!

  • Man rosa parks was one brave cripple. I mean she couldn't get out of the seat since she was handicapped and instead of crying about it, she did speechs and now they have handicap people buses.

  • What church was this at!?!?!?

  • Rosa Parks home going service was held at  Greater Grace Temple in Detroit under the direction of Bishop Charles Ellis.

  • Thank you um do u hav any videos of him preaching cause I love to hear him preach I watch him every nite @ 8 on the word network he is awesome!!! but once again thank you

  • why was is there is that her home church? and is that church COGIC

  • Great Grace Temple

    Detroit Mi

  • { NOTE: you cant fined any were in the Bible where as it sates that Christians, saints, believers, or a righteous person sins. youll always find he felled, slipped, stumble, ect. } Pro. 6:16/ Ps. 5:4/ Ps 11:5/ Hosea 9:15/ Malachi 2:16

  • I hear your heart but that'snot accurate you need to read the epistles of Paul because taking Rom 6 in to account it is possible for one to sin after be jusified by Christ. I'm not sure what your message is hear but it sounds like you are trying to jusify sin. Its worse when the saints sin than it is for those who have not come into the knowledge. Yes we do fall and God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us but we have to understand that all unrighteousness is sin.

  • God is not looking at the sin. He is looking at the person who committed it. The sin is not a separate entity apart from the sinner. The Bible show throughout that God does not separate the sinful person apart for the sin. Now you must ask yourself what is a sinner? One who deliberately, porously, without conviction, without guilt, premeditates there sin.

  • We so foolishly say that god dont hate he loves every body and this is true in a since but you most understand what hate is its a emotion just like love it means to strongly dislike, to become harsh toward, to render un to a person grate valances. So hate is not just a feeling its a action and its one we see through out the whole bible.

  • I cherish the power of Mrss. Parks. Thank you for making a difference that we have inherited. She is an inspiration both Mrss. Rosa Parks and Mrss. Franklin.

  • take it to church aretha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love you! No living female singer equals you and I always thought this way!

  • is that mayor viragosa in the back.??...He looks like he would rather be fishing.

  • lol Villaraigosa? yeah it is

  • Now that was FUNNY!

  • so how was what she did anything different then what gay people are fighting for today? how can a black person say they are against the human rights of anyone when they have fought so long the same way? who cares what seat a black person is riding in and who cares who is loving who in there own life? I just dont get it. what did the bible have to do with what seat she sat in? this world is full od biggots not faggs and niggers just biggots. he with out sin cast the first stone right?

  • Well blacks being treated like a human is not a sin. Everything us blacks was asking for was in the wil of God. God loves the homosexual but hate the homosexual spirit.

  • God created the " homosexual" and the " homosexual spirit" so how can he " hate" anything he created? religion says he created everyone in him own image and created every person for a reason. I dont believe in your god.I dont need your consent to live happy as you dont need mine to live black.100 years ago, blacks were the gays of today. you have no right to judge me, " he without sin cast the first stone" right? just cuz your not gay dont make you better. go pray for yourself. not me.

  • If God dont hate it why do the bible say he hate sin??? Im not judging you at all. Never once did yo hear me say you were going to hell or anything. So dont tell me im judging you. I just told you the truth now if you feel convicted take that up with God. We all do sin and fal short of his glory but you must remember to repent and not stay in the sin that we know we are in.

  • i do not believe in God. The bible was written by a man not god. according to your bible, god hates everything. the second you tell me that your god hates anything about me, Your judging me. tell me what he hates about you? your a bigot and every religious bible thumper is nothing but a bigot. I dont have to repent anything. if he hates me then this is how me made me. he should judge himself then. why does the bible condone slavery? you dont know the truth its just a belief like aliens in space

  • Well Lord have mercy on us. And God does hate when i sin thats the reason i have to go to him daily and repent and ask for his help. The bible really was sent by God. When you can see the things thats going on now in the bible it lets me know that the bible is true and real.

  • Go 2 hell!! O I 4got u already are...cause u if actually READ the bible It does not say that DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Aretha full of BS!

  • I'm sorry but this comment is disrespectful. I don't understand what u mean by that. SHAME ON YOU!!

  • your purpose for this comment is what!!! this was a funeral and Aretha is doing what she does best! whats the problem?

  • I sometimes forget what a powerful singer aretha is. My mother grew up listening to her and I grew up listening to her in the eighties. This is what real singing sounds like.

  • The embodiment and essence of soul...we want to thank you also, Ms. Ree.

    We thank God for you!

  • I love, love, love Aretha Franklin and she definetly shut it down AS ALWAYS!!!!

  • Was anybody else crying watching this video? I know I was...

  • YOU-reeth-rah...just another one of Detroit's embarassments. Think what you like. I sure do. This heifer is just plain old po'.

  • Bitch shut the fuck up. Aretha is not where near an embarassment to detroit or any where else. Aretha is a musical gift from god. Music definition of greatness.

  • Comment removed

  • I am not from Detroit. But i love Aretha none the less. I you don't like this than fine but don't you come here talking mess.

  • Comment removed

  • Well i don't live in Detroit. And you ain't nothing but a wack ass hater.

  • How bout you rott in Hell.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheQueenAretha , Correct statements . Thank God I've learned to love all people , since they have taughtt me so , so much . One of these is to love my fellowman as myself . Thanks to my Mama , and humans who touched my Soul .

  • @Tejano44 You have a wonderful mother.

  • Is that Jerry Wexler siting on what i believe is the third row behind Aretha.

  • Proud of our Gov of Michgian Jennifer Gradholm who is in attendace for a great Women Rosa Parks..

  • I got to hand it to Ms. Ree. If she was down to three notes, I bet she coudl find a way to shut it down. She can just "sang" and there ain't nothing anybody can do about it. Whew!

  • Unbelievable - she sang with so much soul and emotion!!

  • what are YOU or ANYBODY gonna do?

  • Don't u ever disrespect her or Rosa Parks (seeing as this is a video of her funeral) again.

  • This is the kind of event where Aretha's musicianship really shines. Brilliant.

  • Exactly!! Singing Praises....

  • OMG SHUT UP!

  • Aretha sung this!!! I went in when she stated the world would be better for this.OH YES!!!

  • Amazing Queen of Soul. It was also nice to see Ed Bradly in the back since he has also past away.

  • she still got it \

  • Aretha has a great anointed gift. I know because I was a pretty good singer in my day and now I can't hit a note anywhere near my heyday. Aretha will die with those great vocals and styling. There is only one and she is the Queen and one who has paid dues. Beyonce, Mary J and all others take a back seat to this vocal genius. She is an original, not a fake or not making it off covering someone else's material.

  • I agree with you

  • AMEN!!! She's a total icon. She just sings with so much soul...it's incredible.

  • Aretha looks alot like Kim Burrell in this vid.

  • yea she do tho

  • I thought I was the only one who noticed!!! Thanks. But, recently I saw Kim and she's taking the weight off. I hope she keeps losing and keeps it off. I also hope she takes that nasty weave out of her hair, or at least get a good hairdresser.

  • Aretha has it.

    =]

  • she has HAD it... i was very disappionted when she sung so weak at obama's inauguration celebration...

  • She didn't sing weak....and she is human also.....everyday can't be the best even for the best...although i though she sounded great at obama's innauguration...not weak at all....I think a lot of people don't understand what it takes to sing in that type of weather...if you aren't a singer then maybe u can't understand.

  • i am a singer;-) no, i was just irritated, because she's so famous for her powerful and soulful voice!...

  • Well Aretha is a little older now as well..give the lady credit..she still sounded great....the passion was still there and the delivery....I think you are being too hard on her...lol

  • A singer knows when their body or "voice" is not up to what it will be. It doesn't take us 7 minutes. Shut it down Aretha and give good wishes to people like Rosa. 3 minutes top, if that long.

  • you've obviously never been to a black funeral before lol they take hours because everybody does that lol it's not just Aretha

  • Hadn't been to a lot of black funerals. African American ones, YES, but not black ones where voice aint right, weather aint right, and it just aint right. You end it, with dignity (that within your training of course) and move on. Amen. Thanks for your feedback. Have you been to MALFC? It's in Chicago this year. Try to attend, great learning and diversity for ALL.

  • This is how we pay respect! Dont hate!

  • I think the cold had a to do with Aretha's performance. She does not like to sing with air on the building. So I was surprised she performed outside in the winter's cold air.

  • Visit SikhTruth. com

  • There are a few people in this world that are born with an indescribable gift. Given the right atmosphere and environment they can stir the soul of man while bringing pure delight to the senses. That is Aretha Franklin.

  • sing aretha sing

  • Yes, the world is better for this. Thank you Rosa ... and Arethra.

  • she almost had them folk shoutin in there lol. I wouldve been cryin them old songs get to me. you can tell her daddy was a pastor

  • GOOD LAWRD that woman can brings tears to anybody eyes...R.I.P to the mother of the civil rights motivational movement...GOD BLESS you for taking a stand and not getting up when your feet were worn and tired. AMEN

  • rosa Parks an Amazing apostolic woman
