Aretha Franklin - I Say A Little Prayer

[CoeurdePiratedu13]

Fabulous ^^

[flenkle]

Nice

[mrcloudiesbestfriend]

She blows every single modern diva so far out of the water its almost criminal. singers today could stand to gain even a fraction of the talent of Aretha.

The music industry would be much improved.

[karameldreem]

Aretha!!!!!(Young, Black, and Gifted)

[reevaveeva]

THANK YOU BURT FOR A WONDERFUL SONG!

[PiccolaCrossista]

I <3 Aretha

[LeatherSeatBelt]

wow that was amazing

[MApeal]

A dream of mine for so many years now: meet this woman in heaven [where she did for sure, me maybe will end] and tell her, how she delighted me thousands of times.

[ElBarto42]

@MApeal She's not there yet.

[hershko55]

[15native]

[14abr09]

Era muy pequeña, pero mis hermanas mayores escuchaban mucho esta canción en su epoca. Hoy me trae recuerdos muy bonitos. Me recuerda mis hermanas adolescentes disfrutando escuchando esta canción ME FASCINA. Caracas-Venezuela.

[faniesful]

una belleza estoy enamorado

[veraguero31darwin]

This video is among the best on youtube. The song, while already a classic, was done best justice by Aretha Franklin. Furthermore, this is also a testament to Bacharach's prowess as a Songwriter.

[riffwagner]

She has a very powerful voice. A combination of Led Zeppelin and Motown. She is hands down my favorite singer! Love this... Six magical stars!

[abwiluna]

BETTER THEN GLEE VERSION!!!!

[NBAdit]

Who needs soul food when you've got Aretha.

[drcossackPA]

An amazing performance. Sounds more heartfelt than Dionne Warwick's version - don't get me wrong, Ms Warwick does a good job with the song too, but it feels more like a lighthearted "pop" version.

Aretha's got quite a voice here and still does, even if age may have weakened it slightly.

[arimoncalves]

I¨m married with this beatifull song every time I listen I Wish to listen another time, and  I do agaiin !

[jbigrob3001]

[salooodd]

[dannqc]

At times when singers weren't under the spot lights because of their look, but really thanks to their talent and their voice, like Aretha !

[mrwhatever213]

funny thing is dannqc I think she is beautiful. give me the natural soul look any day then these make up all caked up wearing skanks.

[gnosco]

mi viene voglia di alzarmi in piedi e cantaree!

(già fatto ahah...)

[broadjumper1]

Ah, the one and ONLY Queen of Soul...

[GermanOperaSinger]

She was sensational when she was young. Incredible performance.

[dommenkosi]

original is from 1967 by Dionne Warwick.

[mattswede]

The original and the best. What a voice. What a song. Amazing

[fitzdum]

you´re damn right ^^

[Emmelyy299]

Goose flesh!

[MrMalsi]

Phenomenial timeless and genuine

[megashoo]

[Prescious4]

Zo gaaf!

[Omega1st]

One of the greatest vocalists of all times

[suzesrc]

[Tina4ev]

Please say a little prayer for me,

I have a school 's proof tomorrow..

xD

[gerbelle90]

The background singer on the far right looks a lot like "Denise Huxtable" to me...

[SHARRAH2008]

@ 3:25 the trumpets start - she lets loose OMG - i feel it down my spine and my arms!!

[SHARRAH2008]

What a talented lady OMG!!!

She is more powerful than a 747 Jet liner - with that bitchin' voice of hers!!!

I love her forever -

[airatal14]

she is my new favorite singer !!!

[saprissa30]

Janis Joplin

Aretha Franklin

ROBERT PLANT are my favorites

singers ever

[micsir888]

You like it from the nose.

[gogogadgetspoon]

Good call! Zeppelin forever!

[kenanyildiz]

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart

and I will love you

Forever, forever, we never will part

Oh, how I'll love you

Together, together, that's how it must be

To live without you

Would only be heartbreak for me.

[poplife123]

are the backing singers her sisters?

[joshiejjones07]

No better performance anywhere than this.

The Sweet Inspirations (Carolyn,Erma &

lovely Cissy Houston) (center) only make

Aretha sing & phrase with that much more

conviction.

Only others close are early Bluebelles or

76-77' Emotions.

Gospel tinged Pop with SOUL.

[fabulousgal]

No one can beat this cover..Amazing!

[rylydyly]

A musical goddess... sexy as mutha as well

[neo200708]

This is the best version of this song ever!

[barackobamaJuNiOr]

the best voice!

[yoorcainte]

I love you Aretha

[murky1177]

Go on, Cissy Houston! The backup singers are killing this! Besides her own genius, Aretha knew she could arrange some backup vocals!

[jmkism]

She is truly the greatest--I love this version although I love Dionne's too. Ms. Franklin is the Queen of Soul.

[bohemiomusical]

es impresionante la mejor de todos los tiempos ..........diego21

[Roadbikebitch]

My boyfriend was in Viet Nam at the time this was a hit. I thought of him every time I hear it. Brings back memories

[brothernumbefour]

Beautiful. This i think was the second record I bought after Joy Division's Transmission 2 eras of Soul!

[ladylusciouz]

aretha+joy division=excellent!!

[cadebra1961]

#1 She kicked Dionne Warwick's ass on her version of this song.

#2 God reached down from Heaven & blessed this woman with the most amazing voice ever! Beyonce, Diana & even Tina can suck it!

#3 Wow, she was once skinny - WTF happened Aretha?

[wilco9971]

and i really love it how aretha looks like shes smiling when she sings, always cheers me up

[KevinInSanJose]

I've been dabbling back in forth between Dionne's and Aretha's take on this song; Aretha' gospel roots and deeper voice/lower register just kills, not to mention the artsy interplay between lead and supporting vocals.

decision; Aretha ps - Is it me or does she not seem all that comfortable in front of the cameras? I actually think it enhances the performance, adding an ingenue sense of realness. Aretha, if you're reading these, you rule!

[MONRAYDAYIZBACK]

no its not jst you, shes actually a very shy person.

[leumasaid]

fuck damn it... so good

[XxRissaRiotxX]

WOOHOO! THiiS SONG WiiLL STAY iiN MY ♥ HEHE[ :

[wilco9971]

madonna really cant sing

[sweepdisco7]

i just don't get aretha! i've heard better vocals and she didn't write her hits like madonna or donna did but she still gets more 'respect'!!?? i don't understand why people like whitney either. someone tell me why...

[RodneySandersTV]

Aretha co-wrote many of her songs.

[drakeneyez]

I think Dionne Warwick's version of this song is much better, not to say Aretha Franklin is a legend

[rodrigolema1]

increible vos

[thewatevergirl]

One of the greatest singers of all time

[DejaVusee]

OMG! Almost 3.5 million views!

This live version is even better than the record!

All hail the Queen! :)

[justAnotherJapanese]

TOP FEMALE VOCALIST: Aretha Franklin

TOP MALE VOCALIST: Elvis Presley

My Favourite: Billy Joel used to be the best

vocalist 1977-1983, as far as I am concerned.

[thonycg93]

the best singer in the world... aretha lady of soul...

[xavierenriquefuentes]

certainly the ONLY ONE!!!

[socalscottiesoul]

...Billie Holliday...!

[jjblazej2]

Whitney is the best of the 10th century. But Aretha aint no joke, nor is Ella. I'll take that glass of wine please!

[martinigirl]

Forever and ever ... aaah....

I can't decide who was best female vocalist of the 20th century, aretha or ella fitzgrarld... not that it matters, as long I can listen to either with a glass of wine I'm happy ...

[dannpenn]

she's the most beautiful singer of all time,for the eternity, nobody can sing as her.

[connorharvard]

she is good, but Whitney Houston definitally has the best voice ever

[mkdsf85]

One and only,Aretha-Diva Forever!

[Eisblume87]

Aretha Franklin is the best !!

[alexjosebio]

Perfect!!

[rockin1960ray]

Fantastic, Aretha rules. Wonderful song.

[girraboyzz]

the moment I wake up for I put on my makeup

[thewatevergirl]

Her voice is GREAT!!!!!!!!

[QuelDanas]

she's the Rolling Stones #1 greatest singer in the world, i found that out from comcast, apparently they had a poll, the recently deceased michael jackson was #25

[Westwoodorama]

Oh please RS knows shit about music other than rock. Their polls are total bs and compiled by people in their circle. Their are the most biased music magazine ever.

[babyEroose]

so i have to say Aretha's voice and her beautiful back up singers captivate me. It's hard to sing back up to such a powerful voice.

[cpatterson22]

Is that Dionne Warwick with the backup singers, last on the left

[Carowoelfchen]

i love it so. :)

She has' a voice like a musical instrument,your right pabeet. :)
