Queen of Soul. Take a look, young folks. Take a good, soul-based look. This kind of power can be translated into your own affairs, hopefully breeding integritty of purpose. Go high with soul like 'Re did and so many others of that golden moment in time that music took heart and stomach into one direction.
Both Pattii and Aretha did a spectacular job...different R&B styles, but both good....I, myself is more of a Patti fan, but again they both were good.....
@music95love you forgot to put "in my opinion" at the end of your comment. this version bores me to tears while Patti's is exciting and colorful. different strokes for different folks and its all good
Godness im suprised she never damaged a vocal cord. When i first heard this clip my eyes kept becoming filled with water. A great tribute her father but it was too short. Aretha my dear you I take my hat of to you and those cuddly arms.
This was actually a filmed live concert in Detroit, MI at the Mosanic Temple Theatre. By the time she got to this song, she had sang so long and hard that she was losing her voice. I attended this concert, and will never forget the awesome love and happiness she brought to everyone there. She got so many standing ovations!! This is that same concert that featured Charles Nicks and the St James Adult Choir. All of her siblings were alive and in the audience then.

Beautiful.................thanx for posting. This is really beautiful, I love seeing pics of Aretha's dad, u see where she gets it from. The Queen reigns forever......
A beautiful rendition by Aretha, this concert was on HBO and was recorded to spotlight the restoration of Detroit's Fox Theatre. The clips of her Father, and Dr. King add to the reason for her love of this timeless song.

This is my favorite proformence of this song because of the footage of Pastor C. L. Franklin preaching and his home going.
