[Lynmoody]

[USW1023]

thank you for your response about Cissy being one of the background singers. Here is another question, was Margaret and Pat also singing of the field?

[USW1023]

very true, she is the queen. Is that Cissy Houston singing background?

[oneloveatatime]

@USW1023 Yes its Cissy Houston and Roberta Flack also!

I was there this was to honor Althea Gibson. I worked there for the first time that summer and when I was watching Gladys Kinght bumped into me and asked where she had to sit and I was taken back to be so close to a legend but it was great. Venus and Serena also played both the night matches that night. Thats also when Venus relsease her Eleven line

[afg1927]

Aretha always keeps this song current. I see Cissy Houston in the lavender outfit singing background vocals. Roberta Flack bowing to the Queen at the end of the song. Thanks for posting.

[oneloveatatime]

Thank you for your kind words...you are welcome!!!!

[alexeijasper]

wow, she is big

Whole lot of Aretha to love!:p

Zo'n stem past ook niet echt bij een magere vrouw denk ik.

[bluesgirl62]

¨Wonderfulllllllll!!!!

[taytaytoo]

I have LOVED her for over 40 years and I must agree: this is the best rendition in years! Thanks so much for posting.

[oneloveatatime]

Thank you for your kind words!!!!and you are welcome

[oneloveatatime]

thank you for your kind words.....

[LonesomeSuzie]

Wonderful! it is a happyness!Thanks onelove - Kisses

[oneloveatatime]

thank you lonesomesuzie for your kind words

[KateyMsmith]

This couldn't of been 2007, she won her 19th (yes 19th!!) Grammy in 2006, the announcer said 18, so it was pre Grammy's 2006 sometime.

Either way, an amazing performance!!

[jaykeiscool]

It was 2007 at the Althea Gibson tribute..he must've just been misinformed..

[thompsont908]

No this was in November of 2007 this dumb ass announcer made a mistake. Aretha has won her 20th grammy award in January of 2008. Breaking her own record which she has held for almost 20 years

[KateyMsmith]

Sorry then I am wrong! But only because the announcer hadn't done his research!!

Aretha is a LEGEND!

[taddyd1]

allsion krauss (dolly parton's favorite singer) broke Aretha's record several years ago and still owns the record (unfortunately).

many stellar artists don't have any grammys.

[smilersweetness]

Wonderful!

[chinita41]

she was awesome when i saw her in concert.

[chinita41]

queeennnnn of soul, you go gurl.. r.e.s.p.e.c.t

[1945boy]

i love Aretha she is the best and i love

her all the time russell that right

[tirayi]

IMAGINE- Little Re singing Never Grow OLd way back in church as a lil girl and 50 years later she's still moving all those people! Sung our joy and pain for 50 years. GOD is Able. Ain't he? Thank you.

[ShrikeCult]

is this surely 2007? she sounds better, losing some weight has really helped her stamina. Very good i hope she continues like this :) We love our queen.

[MariaLisseth]

even if her voice has changed through the years and is not the same as 40 years ago, we have to show her RESPECT, she is the queen of soul. Respect Aretha!!!!!!!!!

[j9a6r5r3n]

Who is the band?

Aretha....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hazelman]

Go'head, Aretha!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nachoRag]

Awesome!!!!

she´s the best!!

thx sooo much!!!

[Sunshine7694]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing.

[nicksmith2007]

Look who is RIGHT behind her...ROBERTA FLACK!!! Yeah, buddy!

[tuoice]

what A FuNkY song

[zabbydoo]

what a jive

[Strongmandr]

Absolutely perfect latter-day rendition of Respect! All hail the queen!

[DanielCMM]

i think she sang really good.. has a strong voice.. and more if she is 60*s... is really good.. but i saw in 1:53 that she has no falsetto :S i loved that voice wit falsetto. .. well however she still sounds good. and looks well.. jus think she is 60`s--

[Paulguynj]

Wow! Amazing. This video shocked me. She finally ditched that phony sounding falsetto voice. She lost alot of weight as well (probably she was singing falsetto because she was so out of shape and couldn't easily sing in her natural voice) This proves if she tries to take care of herself and sings in natural voice she is still an amazing singer.

[direfranchement]

Yeah, she sounds like Aretha here, but unfortunately the falsetto returned at the Grammy Awards '08... :( I don't know what the deal is with that.

[direfranchement]

[radical11]

Could it be that she is turning 66 this year and the voice will not stay the same for 50 yrs? We need to start enjoying our legends for what they are now, yesterday is gone.

[thompsont908]

Amen...God Knows you are right, we can't keep expecting them to do the things they did when they were in there 20's and 30's

[TayTayTayTay07]

Man! i would have luvved 2 be there!!!

[grapejuicee]

i love her voicee. :]

[cutiemoonie]

OH MY gosh she is still alive that is totalli awesome... wow i'm so happy a legend in my time woopee...!!!

[stevenrmc]

This lady has one of truly greatest voices

in music [that includes all kinds]. That she

can belt out that song like this --- at her

age --- remarkable.

[1191gra]

AMEN, SHE'S STILL THE GREATEST

[FlowNiya]

The queen!

[dbcoco]

oh wow and did I see that right, she cried a little tear at the end!? how incredibly cool that she so much energy and feeling for a song that she performed hundreds of times!

thank you aretha!

[Emeless]

LOL! At 01.34 frame check out Aretha singing a lil snippet from Lil Mama's Lip Gloss song.

[MrStyle]

Wonderful! Amazingly! She straight belted it out. The Queen of Soul!

[biggirl1950]

Aretha can belt her signature after 40 years. Whitney can't do hers after 15 years. Mariah is having trouble with We belong together at times.

[Lauranis]

Damn!!

The queen look and sound great.

love you Ree

[perfect20]

she said what cha no bout me...what cha no bout me...lol.. lil momma...

[ZebFAN06]

This is her singing in her natural voice, where normally she sings in her falsetto. Personally at this stage, i prefer her natural voice to her falsetto.

[stevenrmc]

Oh certainly . . . and she has a powerful voice, much like a blues or gospel shouter. Her voice has deepened with age, however, like an olympic athlete --- it gets stronger with use.

[lex1eleven]

damn i didnt know aretha still had it! sing dat song retha!

[JamaicanTasiaBoy]

love it!!!

[toddarm2006]

OMG, She tore that song up. Aretha is awesome

[damngood2u]

I only comment on Aretha videos when it is something positive. I am the biggest Patti Labelle Fan. Aretha represented, looked fabulous and sounded better than I have heard her in a very long time. I give credit and RESPECT where it is do. She owns the title soully THE QUEEN OF SOUL. Excellent. Not taking anything from the ONE and ONLY Patti Labelle. I love them both.

[memchee7]

That was so great! Thxs for posting this, I didn't even know she performed until after the fact.

[bigdogg11]

Aretha is still the queen! At 65 she is still belting this song like it's no big deal.

[caesar6882]

WONDERFUL !...Aretha looks and sounds great..her voice sounds big , full and powerful...Her stongest vocals in a long time..Love her voice !

[mhax3]

Master Class

[johnsonkeldrick]

Aretha sounds great and appears to be slightly smaller. Glad to see it

[almightyfire1]

the best

[Dukey453]

Oh the gal can still give up when she wants to.. and she was not in her falsetto. Long Live the Queen.. and even Roberta Flack gave to her singing the background

[thompsont908]

That's my Big MAMMA

[oneloveatatime]

This is one of my favorite clips of Aretha singing RESPECT

OneLove
