[taariqtaariq]

[renzUmaki]

[pacom7]

[MrPublicenemyno1]

@MrMunuch . Why honey

[MrPublicenemyno1]

@mr

[MrMunuch]

I dont like her

[christos121212]

@MrMunuch Then you have absolutely no idea what a good voice is dear.Il'let you know that Aretha Franklin is #1 in the 100 greatest singers of all time.Dont believe me? Then write 100 greatest singers of all time in Google search bar and you'll see

[MrMunuch]

@christos121212 I know!!!!!!! That was actually the reason why I looked for her on youtube. You may be right, may be I have no idea what a good voice is. Or maybe I just have a differnet opinion.

[MrMunuch]

@christos121212 I mean... of course She sings good.But to me she just isn't the number one

[Dorothyj8]

ai love you aretha. I have everything you have ever made. we can join our voice together and just let the anointing of god come on down. her dad was a paster also

[CoachRoebuck]

Twenty-eight people have no respect.

[iojkra]

это на вечно !

[SonOfJeff]

This video is so great.

[mishagirl69]

Being from Motown, I cut my teeth on his woman. Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson. She is the leader HANDS DOWN! The absolute QUEEN of SOUL!!!!!!!!

[TheMilagros59]

not commmon word..

[simulcop]

I wish labels still stood behind music like they did back in the day. Otis Redding was their artist, he wrote this song. And Tommy Dowd recorded both versions. And Atlantic was just churning out R&B because they had the best in the world. It was about making music, not dollars.

[bamayorgortr]

The queen of soul

[ValeaJiuluiON]

THE QUEEN!

[carnalhiphop]

please listen to Lo Que Quieras El Chojin De Su LP 8jin

[HolyAvgr]

Soul = Aretha.

[brianwitty]

[mizzfoxy9]

[LisaK7100]

This song was Number 1 the week I was born! R.E.S.P.E.C.T.!

[Arjanajanath]

@LisaK7100 That's more than enough for earning my respect Lisa!

[LisaK7100]

Arjanajanath, I'm sorry if I offended you, but back in the '80s there was American Top 40 with Casey Kasem, and he mentioned it!

[Andrewwascool]

Free show. Downtown Toronto. June 24.

[innh2000]

[dinaandbeyonce2000]

[knitwriter]

Happy Birthday, Sugar!

[viniceo]

[JimmyMeBoy84]

[psicsi]

Damn she just makes it look so easy.

[jclef614]

Aretha done went to church on this song.....LOVE HER! To all those that disliked this video...please get your ears and souls checked!

[iLLesTniCCa]

Lol she caught The Holy Ghost @1:35! Amazing... No other comparisons.

[mkay1500]

18 people spelled r.e.s.p.e.c.t.  wrong

[ApostolicGodsChild]

Im only 24 years old and I even know who the Queen is and it ain't no Queen B. That "queen" is over rated. Aretha is #1 and Whitney is #2

[viniceo]

@ApostolicGodsChild queen b??? beyoncé?? beyoncé is not even close to aretha...aretha has got a unique voice. Of course beyonce is a great singer, she has got a beautiful voice...but beautiful is not enough, you need something that makes you stand above everyone, a tune that is yours, that is unique....just like aretha.

[RalphRomeo23]

@ApostolicGodsChild I agree with u, beyonce is nothing compared to them

[lililalok]

It doesn't matter what music you listen to, if your ears work, you know that Aretha is the queen of ALL.

[rirrad1972]

greatest voice of all times

[Anabelfly]

Oh, yeah! :D

[Thepianofreak17]

Fine Jazz singing right here :)

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's 225th #1 hit of the rock era. Everybody, give some respect to the Queen of Soul! God bless ya, sister 'Ree!

[JoeChords]

who's the 16 person don't like aretha, you don't know anything about music.

[philou017]

Aretha Franklin is high energy

Chorists are fabulous

What a music

[musicfan088]

@a1d2h Beyonce sucks compared to Aretha Franklin. Beyonce is ok, dont get me wrong but shes not an epic legend like Franklin is or even close. Beyonce could not even come close to filling her shoes.

[redbuckatl]

she is on fire here tearing it up in one of best performances of all time- this is what creates legends.

[sherry21555]

AREATHA FRANKLIN SURGERY WAS A SUCCESS! SHE WENT HOME FAMILY MEMBERS SAID TO RELAX ARETHA FRANKLIN WILL BE FINE SHE IS A VERY POWERFUL WOMAN AND SHE WILL BE FINE LOOK AT MICHEAL DUGLAS HE JUST BEAT CANCER AND IS BACK MAKING MOVIES ARETHA FRANKLIN SAID & I QUOTE GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL & I HAVE A VERY GOOD TEAM OF DOCTORS & NURSES!!

[luvdaworldplz]

[Savvynlady]

Wishing and praying and hoping all works out with you Miss Aretha!!

[trollywog]

[AndrewMcy]

all the best Aretha

[PokeyGreen]

God knows!

[DisneyBlackJet]

Oh, fine! Now we're losing ANOTHER legend! Why do these bad things always have to happen? WHY?!

[PokeyGreen]

@DisneyBlackJet : God knows!

[supersaver87]

I have heard that Aretha's being treated for pancreatic cancer. This saddens me, since I really like her and her music. (Still remember watching the Tiny Toons music video for this song as a kid!)

I hope for a speedy recovery.

[BlaqueReign25]

I pray that Ms. Franklin get's well soon, I have heard the aweful reports that she may be batteling pancretic cancer, I hope it is not true! She is a national treasure and her songs will be enjoyed by many for years to come! I am praying for her health and I hope she get's well soon.

[MadameLovrina]

I love this song.

I hope she gets well soon. The world will be a sad place without her songs.

[Fartingbellybutton]

RIP

[supersaver87]

@Fartingbellybutton

She's not gone yet.

[NotEvenClosex3]

[geezyhamilton130]

[yahood66]

@jen7040, lol EXACTLY. it was announced today Aretha has been "ordered by her doctor" to take a few months out, complete rest, just ole age, hopefully. We will respect this.

[jen7040]

@a1d2h  who´s beyonce???? compared to this...

[peasah2005]

Sister Aretha Franklin was the undisputed queen of soul and gospel without a shadow of doubt, because Sister Aretha Franklin was full of fire when she sang her classics and she shows that she's one of the best ever soul and gospel singers of all-time.

Aretha Franklin was just the diva queen that made you dance all the time, to her pure hits.

Big up, my sister and the woman of our times, Sister Aretha Franklin.

[dinaandbeyonce2000]

shes one of beyonces favorite singers. but aretha changed

[markthetruck]

Holy Crap!! Lady GAGA; Eat Your Heart Out!!

[volgaraketa]

wwoooooooowww - it's fast! :)

[pmjhns]

@volgaraketa Music is not my field, but I believe that is called "uptempo."

[pmjhns]

@volgaraketa I'm getting a workout just listening to this version. I mean, I'm outta breath and I'm not even the one singin'. lol

[madcbara]

12 people disrespected aretha

[Squillionz]

@madcbara Andnow it's 13. What's up with that? Idiots.

[PokeyGreen]

@Squillionz :  Yes--idiots!

[frosti7]

[ALsadikin]

[ShrikeCult]

[ghostviddebunker]

@madcbara

This woman paved the way for her style of music in a super sized fashion!

[JaninSweet1]

one of the classics !!!!!!!!!!!

[notcalebkruzel]

Legend

[pmjhns]

@notcalebkruzel I agree, wholeheartedly!

[mardawg12]

k guys really, relax.

just have your own opinions and shut up about it.

this is why we still have war.

we can't get along in our own neighbourhoods (or over the internet like this) then we definitely can't get along with other countries.

[FarmGiraffe]

very good :)

[AndiDisne13]

i wonder if she was the first rapper? maybe maybe not

[PacinoAmore]

One of the greatest singers ever.......

[gioiaribelle]

0:30 does she says "because i dont wanna" or "because im your woman"? please tell me,im italian and i have this doubt xD

[DollyParton2000009]

@gioiaribelle Because i dont wanna. :) xx

[gioiaribelle]

@DollyParton2000009 thank u :)

[DollyParton2000009]

@gioiaribelle Your welcome hun :D xx

[engine2293]

the trick is to go to rippify [dot] com to download the high quality mp3 for this song.

[MrFitzek]

this is blisteing..unfortunately aretha only moves that fast for the pizza delivery boy these days but who cares this is in my top ten songs of all time..stone cold classic and much much better than anything muse have done or will do..go aretha..love you xx

[driftingdrought]

@MrFitzek Because she's a fat overrated bitch who will never be on Mariah's level.

[MrFitzek]

@driftingdrought

overrated??

you are talking bollocks

[driftingdrought]

@MrFitzek Yes, that's what I said. Overrated. She's not that great and could never sing as good as Mariah.

[josh7885]

@driftingdrought She may not be able to hit the notes that Mariah Carey hits but she is a different kind of vocalist and, in my opinion, is a great entertainer with a lot of soul. Being good doesn't mean you have to be better than all those around you. Sometime you just need to be different.

[josh7885]

@driftingdrought She may not be able to hit the notes that Mariah Carey hits but she is a different kind of vocalist and, in my opinion, is a great entertainer with a lot of soul. Being good doesn't mean you have to be better than all those around you. Sometimes you just need to be different.

[driftingdrought]

@josh7885 But she is not the greatest of all time, like many people claim.

[pmjhns]

@driftingdrought - Ms. Franklin's music, style, and body of work will endure long well after you and Mariah Carey return to the dust of the earth God made you out of.

[driftingdrought]

@pmjhns LOL bitch you just keep telling yourself that. And when Aretha finally ODs on KFC, MC will still be the baddest, most accomplished chick in the game. End of discussion.

[pmjhns]

@driftingdrought - Why resort to name calling and talking about people behind their backs? I am not your "bitch." I must have struck a nerve.LOL!  Ms. Franklin's record speaks for itself. And, when someone had to stand in for the great Luciano Pavarotti(RIP) 22 mins before he was to perform at the 1998 Grammy's, it wasn't Mariah Carey he called for. And, Mariah Carey was in the audience, I'm quite sure.

[driftingdrought]

@pmjhns Bitch let me tell you something. YOU replied to MY comment, so if you can't handle the shit that you start, it's best that you stay silent. Mariah's record is what speaks for itself, and she is more important to music than Aretha ever will be. I don't give a fuck about Nessun Dorma, shit, Mariah has had more notable performances than the fat cow ever will. The old bitches like Aretha start it and then the new girls like Mariah come in and clean up shop. Now as you were!

[pmjhns]

@driftingdrought As a matter of fact, Minnie Ripperton(RIP) in her brief career hit more sustained high notes than Mariah Carey has, IMO. And, was a more deep and intense singer as far as subject matter. Even Denise Williams does better than her in terms of quality of voice and subject matter, IMO. You act like what MC does is new. Now, I like her and I think we discredit them all by making comparisons, but Ms. Franklin paved the way for all these singers. You need to show some R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

[pmjhns]

@driftingdrought You never did answer my questions, Why resort to name calling and talking about people behind their backs? And, you didn't answer the question about why Mr. Pavarotti didn't call MC out of the audience that night. Usually ppl namecall when they know they don't have a leg to stand on. And, for the second time, I am not your "bitch." You're pretty courageous typing behind that computer screen, probably thousands of miles away from me and Ms. Franklin, you "gutless wonder!"

[driftingdrought]

@pmjhns Listen you crazy slut, I'm not here to answer your fucking questions. Do you think I am one of your cheap ass little girlfriends, honey? Do you think you are on my level? Sit your ass down somewhere. If anything, *I* will ask the goddamn questions, whore. Now STFU! and pay attention to the following: MC is the Queen. There is no Aretha, no Denise, no Minnie, no Pavarotti. There is only MC. She is the absolute greatest and at the top of the game. Now bitch be gone!

[pmjhns]

@driftingdrought Obviously, you are out of your rabid-assed mind, potty mouth! Answer the question. Why didn't Mr. Pavarotti call MC out of the audience that night of the 1998 Grammy's? She was right there in the audience, more than likely. Answer the question! Or, do you want me to answer it for you? You think you can post whatever you want without rebuttal? If you don't want any comments on your posts, I suggest you contact Youtube and have them disengage "Reply" just for your convenience.

[driftingdrought]

@pmjhns Girl, shut your dumb, retarded, high, drunk ass up. I don't care how much you or anyone else replies, I'm just letting you know the case. YOU DON'T KNOW THE CASE. So off with you and this Aretha nonsense. Triflin no good hoe.

[pmjhns]

@driftingdrought I don't have discussions with mentally-deranged and irrational people like you. There's no profit in it. I've proved my point. End of discussion.

[driftingdrought]

@pmjhns You haven't proven a damn thing except that you can't handle the shit you start! So look bitch, the next time you try and start something, you best take a step back and analyze the situation. Whatever you think you talkin about bitch you need to correct yourself before you get your ass handed to you. Now off with you!

[gaylolful]

@driftingdrought Wow I told you not to spread negativity!! LOL clearly someone feels threatened by Aretha to go on all her videos...CHILD AS YOU WERE LMAO

[flowerchildca]

@pmjhns Ahh, what point or fact did you prove?? That your a scum bag troll here to start shit. Nobody's listening to your crap.....

[pmjhns]

@flowerchildca driftingdrought was unable to answer the question as to why Mr. Pavarotti did not call on MC to stand in for him since she is so great. The answer to the question, since drifting was unable to respond, is that the demands of the performance exceeded MC's talent.
