[AlmaToure5]

take my hand lord i am so tierd

[MegaGum1]

"Listen at her!"

[rudeboysly2]

The 2 people who dislike this wonderful singer.You need lord

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

I just saw Aretha Franklin sing "Precious Lord" in front of the President and the Vice President just now at the MLK Memorial - she kissed Obama and Michele but she didn't even acknowledge Vice President Biden and his wife. She didn't even look at them. Did anyone else notice this? I am sure it will get some criticism and despite it being the MLK dedication, you don't just snub the Vice President, even if you are the Queen of Soul!!!!!

[legendarygospel]

I cried through the whole song wow

[janet2gees]

@legendarygospel everytime I listen to this song, makes me cry

[tinker1874]

[tommiexander]

Can you imagine a voice like that coming from a 14 year old child. But unfortunately this was around the same time that Aretha got pregnant from someone that she has never identified.

[marie122108]

Aretha Franklin, you should come to Minneapolis Minnesota or Rochester Minnesota

to give us some of the gospel live.

[marie122108]

Aretha Franklin is the best in gospel and blues/

[marie122108]

One of best black singer, Queen of music or soul.

[theblueangel28]

5:21 is one of my alltime favorite riffs ive ever heard

i used to play this just to listen to that

[pnyc1969]

Thank you for posting this. I bought this album over 20 years ago and have not heard it since the last days of turntables. It's a remarkable song. 14 years old! Aren't we lucky someone saw for to record it! What a cultural document. Her voice is so sharp and vibrant. The woman can sing anything. She is outstanding. Let's all hope for the best for Aretha at this time.

[samjav1]

WOW

[MegaGum1]

"Listen at her!"

"Ain't no harm to moan."

Love it. The Lord was workin that lil girl that Sunday morning. 5.17 is the run where she wipes the church out. From then on in they're kinda stunned.

[1khuey]

[chicagolandtam]

@MrStyle23 what time is service?

[1statone]

I second that emotion.

Long Live The Queen!

[bingklat]

I just love Ms. Aretha!!!!

[headedsomewhere]

Oh My God, with the tears streaming down my face, i haven't heard that in years, I remember as a child when my Father used to sing in a local Quartet, and they would play music before and after them, this would be one, that even then not understanding it all, would stir something deep inside, WOW, but now I know for myself =) God bless you for posting this, I was feeling one of those days....but now can get through it

[shelton1397]

Because of our history....black folks moan...white folks hum...But, after this recessions over I guess we'll all be moanin

[cogic911]

@shelton1397 No, we all moan. Some just do it out loud and in the public. Moaning in naturally in the spirit of the oppressed and the least of these. However, one day at the name of Jesus every tongue shall confess and every knee must bow. One thing for sure ain't no tea party in heaven.

[Genevaave]

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!

[nicodagger]

This is the unmistakeable voice of G-d!!

Amazing.

[mlscott1]

All I have to say is, Praise the Lord!

[mackisme]

sing , thank you jesus, Oh thank you jesus,

[mackisme]

at 14 I was playing piano at the gethsamne Bapt. Church, and in fact most black folk were in somebodies church back in the day, but we's all uppity now, we don't go to Church, and are oh so suprised that we could sing like this at 14,but anybody from the day know's that there were a whole lot of singing sisters back in the day, that could tear a church up, you start at 11: am, and stop shouting by 3 or 3:30 or so, politics killed black folk, that and hair straigtner

today was my Dads funeral

[mackisme]

God's here with me, I swear I typed in that 3:30 by accident not knowing what it would do, help me , somebody help me,

[happylarry]

14??? WOW

i thought Whitney Houstons gospel album was the best selling

[MrStyle23]

Yes 14

The Preacher Wife is considered a soundtrack.

[ZebFAN08]

and there are some non-gospel songs, and more christian contemporary sounding songs on the album.

[chiddichiddibangbang]

are you serious..

theres NO WAY shes 14 !!

is this for reall!?!?!?

shes OMG

amazing is not even the word..

[MrStyle23]

Yes I'm serious. The Queen at 14! More soul and power than most grown women singing in the church today.

[michaelrowedtheboat]

Thank you so much for posting this song....this is equal with BB in 1960...fantatic.... precious Lord take my hand and guide me...Kind regards to you and your family, from way over here down under, to everyone way over yonder..Peace, love and happiness to you all and your loved ones...in the beautiful name of JESUS!amen..amen...amen!

[funkyboiblue]

HAIL THE QUEEN OF SOUL! ! !

[Darneloh]

You can hear bites of her vocal influence Clara Ward especially when she moans.Wonderful post and video presentation.

[MrStyle23]

You can hear not only Clara but Mahalia and especially Marion Williams when she starts to moan.

[EmpressMahalia]

Does anyone know if she played piano on this aswell? I know she had the capability to, just not sure if she occompanied herself on this recording.

[MrStyle23]

From my knowledge she didn't play on this. I've always imagined her standing in the front of the church belting her little soul out.

[EmpressMahalia]

Thank you! I know she had the ability to, just wasn't sure if she did or not for this recording....thanx for posting!

[ZebFAN08]
