Aretha Franklin- Love All The Hurt Away

[richiebear1969]

THE BLUES BROTHERS???!!!! Sheeeeeeeet. They still owe you money!

[funkfanNo1]

Amen. Aretha is a little piece of heaven here on earth.

[aliquippawill]

I hereby declare, on this day, that Aretha Franklin is a "National Treasure", as well as one of the precious resources of the USA. Her music is a gift to the entire world, and I truly love, appreciate & respect this woman more than I can ever come CLOSE to properly expressing. All hail the "Queen"!

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

So, what period of her music career do you believe is the best?

1960-67 - under Columbia/CBS Records

1967-80 - under Atlantic Records

1980-2004 - under Arista Records

I think it all went downhill for Aretha after 1976. Her only real success since then was the 1985 release "Who's Zoomin' Who?" which spawned the hits "Freeway of Love" and the Eurythmics co-collaboration "SIsters Are Doin' It for Themselves."

[arethafan2006]

@ClassicTVMan1981X Aretha had a1986 album called Aretha which contained the number one single I Knew You Were Waiting for me, It went Gold within weeks and before it was taken out of print had gone platinum. She also had a Gold album in 1998 called A Rose Is Still A Rose which was 30 years after she hit it big at Atlantic Records.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@arethafan2006

Oh, yeah. However, that 1986 album (the third album to be titled "Aretha," the other two were released in 1961 and 1980) also contained a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash" which also featured the two Stones guitarists, Keith Richards and Ron Wood performing on it as a homage to the group's 1968 original.

The 1989 album "Through the Storm" had remixed versions of "Think" (originally from 1968) and "Come to Me" (originally from 1980).

Also: the cover art for that album was one of Andy Warhol's last before he died.

[Msredhoney720]

Aretha just bad!! She is a truly gifted vocalist.

[bugbazy]

THANK YOU RE-RE

[lucbear]

Aretha we are praying for you.

[Cianciatl01]

Undisputed Queen!!!

[PauleQueenie]

she IS the leaf lost on the eternity of SOUL music....good wine, soft talks and the whole world disappears hoooorayyyyyy.

[aliquippawill]

So help me.......everytime I view a film-clip of a "Live" performance of Aretha's, I get a severe chill.....a "Soul Overdose" if you will. No one.....I repeat NO ONE, in the history of recorded music, has "layed it down" with as much soulful flavor as Ms. Aretha Franklin......period! She has truly earned the title of "Queen", without debate. She has ALSO earned the worlds respect & admiration......eternally.

[INTENSE1INTEGRITY]

Wish someone would upload the real verson with George actually singing his part.

[Deayjay]

Thanks for posting this awesome clip!!! She's just the best. I'll bet she makes some good " greens and hot water cornbread!" LOL

[911insidejo8]

Yeah, that was some great improvision.

It's hard to even grasp how someone could have been given such immense gifts from God.

[debitsncredits]

This is a cool ballad from the day

[kippis05]

There's nothing better than listening to Aretha Franklin and seeing her at the same time- One of my favorite duets from Benson and her. Love ya Aretha!

[stevedream717]

Does anyone have "just because of you" by aretha ?

[SoulSir]

I know she has a song call brand new me and the chorus sings its because of you....do u mean that song?

[stevedream717]

yes I believe so...that's it! I believe that 's the name of it...

[SoulSir]

Shes on a site call dailymotion singing that song. Type in her name and shes on page 3 in a red dress sitting at the piano. Comment bac when u come across it

[stevedream717]

Thanks a million! The bass really swings on this song.I like the video version. It was the first time that I heard/saw her transposing keys while playing as songwriter/composer/keyboard player myself, it was a quite a treat.Thank you again for sharing.I really appreciate it. I love the queen of soul!

[SoulSir]

Well your more than welcome from one Aretha fan to another. She really shows off her talent playing and vocalizing at the same time during that show.

[SoulSir]

They now have her on this site singing brand new me but its the studio version.

[SoulSir]

Aretha's gift is the jack of all trades,cream of the crop,a diamond in the ruff,neadle in a heystack and the next best thing sense slice bread. This is just a understatement.

[nickymace]

She sure is the queen of soul! Sam Dees wrote this song and my does she do it justice!

[SoulSir]

Yeah her and George Benson laid this track down on cd but she's holding it down singing his part to...cheap ain't it'lol'?

[revdrclj]

She is a gift from God. [proverbs 18:16]

[zipnose91]

For a great read check out A Step Into Deliverance by Toni Pugh. It's a real page-turner!

[carolineal]

this is a song a love so much!

a loved the duet with George Benson...

GO A R E T H A! ;D

[MzSherice]

I love this song! Of course Madame Re and the Soul Ladies (go girls) backing her up are always the bomb. So much soul!!! The only one missing was George Benson... but Re took care of his vocals too!

[KEEEBLE]

keeble aretha one day we will meet I MUST WRITE A SONG FOR YOU

[thompsont908]

I am here for you my QUEEN

[stuffedpeppers]

Mercy!! Awesome... Thanks for sharing

[amd77j]

Thanks. The "Queen of Soul"!

[freeman1]

Sang RERE

[uncledou]

I love the way she effortlessly sing with such emotion. Jesus has gifted her.

[TheRealAngelHeart]

Love the way she imitates George Benson. Awesome lower range.

[OliverPenn1]

Brave. That's all I can say about Aretha Franklin. Tragedy was swirling all around her with the lost of her closest family members, but contracts had to be honored. Aretha fought like mad to get through these songs. She was not really herself during this period and it shows in her performances at Park West.

[nubianmanmusic]

That's the mark of a TRUE performer and artist!

[motownbaby]

I want some of those greens and hot-water cornbread!!!!

[RL789]
