I also notice too that watching these older videos that they were really all about freedom of expression. If they wore something like that now they wouldn't think it was chic they would it everyone as worst dressed probably, when she looks gorgeous no matter what she's doin/wearing.
In her prime, the Queen could do no wrong. Perfect pitch, unerring sense rhythm, incredible feeling, ideal improvisation and that glorious voice. I love this song because it shows that even on mellow song, she was stunning. Every little thing she changes in this song is just exactly right. The woman is a genius.
Miss Aretha Franklin is the greatest vocalist in popular music in my opinion, and this video is just a small example of that. Was this part of a concert? "Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)" is probably my favourite Aretha Franklin record
I was born in the wrong generation for music... Aretha is one of the most talented vocalists of all time and I hope one day that I'll be able to see her live!
i am blown away for real by these classic performances of aretha,the undistuted cleopatra and tigress of soul. if there are any more,please post. this is so damn good.
now this is the good stuff! back in the day with with the undisputed queen of soul,blues,jazz,gospel,big band,opera,you name it,miss ree ree will do the hell out of it better than anybody! for sho. looking so gorgeous,royal elegance and working her sexy. i love this series of aretha performances of 78 and im feeling so nostalgic and sentimental just reliving this moment of seeing detroit aretha live on stage singing stevies motown detroit jam! this song was a major major hit in 74 for aretha!!!!
I think this is one of my favorites because I tried out for a soul band and this was one of the songs. It was a very happy period of my life. Thank you Aretha (and Stevie). We never did it at this tempo. I think I like it here...
You know she had every thing in her corner,voice looks, ,she wont take advice on clothing or song arrangements,thats just how she is. A very stubborn woman .
I did a report on Aretha's life for my Women's History class and found out that she designs her own clothes and once wanted to be a designer. So that's why she dresses like that. It's her own personal style.
@so9205. If I want to see a fashion show, I'll go to NYC or Paris. If I want to hear good singing, I'll listen to Aretha. She can be covered in ashes and wearing a potato sack for all I care. LOL!
@swaregirl Well I am in NYC so everyday is fashion show. And yes Aretha's voice always transcends but most of her stage gear left a lot to be desired. My prayers are with the Queen as she and her family deal with her health crisis.
OHhhhh My Garage !!! Where DID ya DIG up this RARE Jewel of Music- I love you for finding & posting it !!! Queen of Soul & Queen of my heart! Aretha! @ her finest-Damn! So smooth & tasty rich!
Awesome. I love this woman so much both as an artist and a woman. John. in the UK.
