Aretha at her best -- showing her roots -- singing at church. Listen to the way she turns her words -- Since you've "been" gone, and gotta get you "back" somehow ... It's been, It's been, it's been, it's been so long ...

[Libzolibbylafalot]

3 people dont know this is a queen

[Alikah1]

@Libzolibbylafalot So's George Michael, but he gets dislikes too!

[tommiexander]

Aretha's style and facial expressions are like that of Mahalia Jackson. She is like cheese and fine wine....It keeps getting better.

[IrisMG]

Sisters Erma and Carolyn Franklin with cousin Brenda Bryant rocking the house as background singers. She's used the Sweet Inspirations from time to time as well.

[nightgrooveruk]

AWESOME GO GIRLS ROCKING IN THEM FROCKS :) THANK YOU ~ NAMASTE

[SpeedRacer1125]

If anyone has ever yelled "SELL IT!" while a performer was performing, this was it. This b#tch is selling it and giving all its worth all the while it look effortless. Love her. Once again, SELL IT, Aretha!!!

[mssusan1961]

Aretha is one hot mama..the tempo seems to be a bit faster compared to the studio version. No matter, its all good!!

[lilstacey09]

Talented woman! <3

Apart from great singing, she could play piano that great! :D

And the backup singers are amazing too. :D

[owzyafava]

Outstanding!!!!

[thoostorm3]

I WAS IN LOVE WITH HER FIFTY YEARS AGO

[miketlow]

Sister Carolyn and the girls are stepping and sanging the background part perfectly!!..lol

[SuperBnichols]

tickel those ivory's miss thing

[joeruffin1]

I love these live video s. Aretha doesnt sing the high note she's supposed to and the background singers echo it anyone, she just laughs and keeps going. She's the Queen of Soul and if she dont wanna sing the damn note, she dont gotta sing it. She the Queen, yessir!

[bigman9099]

the greatest female vocalist ever...simple and plain....

[gatoperezoso]

oh yea...sing it like no one else can...you know that's right...

[employme09]

The Bside of this record is 'Aint No Way!!!

[lilstacey09]

Aretha is my favorite singer because she's great!

[JackieEco]

WOW - LOVE IT : )

[54spiritedwill54]

She's really good!!!

[addisnotadisease]

she is the #1 greatest singer of all time according to rolling stone magazine.

[911insidejo8]

@addisnotadisease ...yes, I think that's obvious. She is a phenomenal talent, I can't imagine picking anyone else to sing to me if I had one choice.

[addisnotadisease]

@911insidejo8 true, but a lot of other people on the list were not where they should have been. Whitney Houston was in the 30s and Mariah Carey was in the 70s! And Bob Dylen in the top 10? are you kidding me? lol

[phantom4087]

Bob Dylan got the # 7 spot because he's so good at communicating what he wants to say.

[addisnotadisease]

@phantom4087

very true. but this wan't about that. it was about who had the best singing voice. while i do agree that he is one of the best at putting emotions and feeling into a song, i have a hard time believing that is voice is what has carried him thu this business.

[phantom4087]

@addisnotadisease

No, the list meant was asking who the best singer was, not the best voice. If it were based on who was the best voice, Bob Dylan wouldn't even be on the list!

[soulshock4444]

the choregraphy is crazy LMAO

[gatoperezoso]

that woman sure can sing...

[ChemicalCB]

i luv this song!

[CHRISSH04]

amazing she was a beast on those keys....and those back up singers cut a mean rug...lol..loved it

[soulpatrol5]

amazing.

[oneloveatatime]

wow! this is incredible, thanks for posting this clip

[americanqueer]

aretha has always been my favorite pianist. this is a good example of it. so is, "dont lay that song for me" nobody has the feel that she does for this music. and a perfectionist on top of it. never a bad show.

[tinaturnerfan84]

yep thats 'the Queen of Soul'

[kathleenirish]

WTF? ONLY 4,800 views? YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE: YOU SUCK!!!!

[handelfan610]

[91Musician]

[xhingdong23]

She's really good!!!
