[jigganikkanj]

I Love ARETHA FRANKLIN..She is really channeling the Holy Ghost here on Soul Train! Her voice is earth shattering!

[gilly5528]

Takw 'em to church girl!

[MrErnieFaison]

ReRe broke that down. She sang that like it was nothing.

[bolder2009]

Its a shame youtube don't care to clean up the comment sections. Oh well, I guess if you want 'freedom of speech' you can't have it both ways. Its a sad world that some people hold such disgusting views, and have the audacity to sit behind their keyboard and spew hateful comments. Lord have mercy!

[vinobody]

she's got a real dude by her side...2 more girls and they would be Boney M

[Nanadsyl]

Look at Don. Hes about to lose his cool lol!!

[MeatDrums]

It would be awesome if that black gentleman would just randomly start playing chocolate rain and sing it intensely.

[pgunnels1955]

I love how the glib introduction has no effect...she jumps right into the essence of the song.

[SWEAEPE]

@pgunnels1955 Hardly "glib". He meant every word.

[aprilglaspieable]

Sistah Ree.

[PeaceFan1]

Aretha could sing Anything and sing it better than Anyone ...she even sang huge Star's Hits such as The Beatles better than THEY do ... No one should be compared to Aretha because she has NO peers and is in a class all by herself !!! xoxo

[poplife123]

amazing heard this was about but never seen it......v v good

[leo87774]

ARETHA IS BEAUTIFUL HERE''''''

[TheCHOKMAT]

Be nice, Amy Winehouse was deeper than the eye can see, than this world can understand, from her you heard a soul that was older than the costume she appeared in, this time around. For a white lil Jewish sister, your heard deep soul from the Delta. I have just given you doctrine, to unwind the darkness. For Solomon said, "the day of death is better than the day of birth" WHY, because wisdom represents birth, in order to be reborn of your soul, all knowledge that pertains to the carnal must die.

[hiphopson]

@TheCHOKMAT wow!

[SWEAEPE]

@TheCHOKMAT You can put down the crack pipe now dude.

LOL

[LorriMPhoto]

@TheCHOKMAT BEAUTIFUL ... beautiful and so very true .... amen.

[SWEAEPE]

There are actually Blacks out there comparing that dead white freak Amy Whhhhhhhhinehouse to the Queen of REAL soul music.

The world is a sick place.

[hiphopson]

@SWEAEPE your sick! for that comment how can you judge someone you dont even know

[SWEAEPE]

@hiphopson FUCK OF NIGGAH.

You look like a gay coon. SO go give some white pink dick AIDS. Stay the fuck out off my inbox.

[hiphopson]

@SWEAEPE awww :) lmao sure! 

[Cougarsec]

@SWEAEPE *** REALLY? This type of post on a GOSPEL Song - WOW!!!

[twloudmouth]

@SWEAEPE really??? Amy may not compare with the QUEEN (undisputed queen, might I add), but Winehouse CONSTANTLY paid homage to Aretha, Billie, Sarah, ect..And has credited them with her sound all the time...Amy wasn't Aretha, but her music was a lot better than a lot of the bullshit polluting our airwaves now...

[SWEAEPE]

@twloudmouth You need to shut up idiot.

[twloudmouth]

@SWEAEPE hey I'm not the idiot...I didn't hide behind a computer to bash the dead...but it's good to know my comment got you all worked up...lmao...have a nice life...

[SWEAEPE]

@twloudmouth You ARE the idiot. And the only thing that gets me "worked up" freak, is that cancer hasn't wiped your retarded white arse out yet. Instead you're stinking up Black music videos with your whiteness. LOL. So drop dead freak, cancer awaits.

[cjwooo]

@SWEAEPE I didn't realise 'Soul' had a colour, NOBODY can ever compare to Aretha, she's in a league of her own. Race and colour have no significance, gospel music has no barries. Be slow to speak and quick to listen.

[jpbrammer]

@SWEAEPE The world is sick because people like you continue to divide it by race.

[MrAustrolopithecus]

@SWEAEPE There is obviously no comparison, but you SHOULD respect the dead.

[911insidejo8]

@SWEAEPE ...I kind of agree. There are plenty of great white singers out there but none of them can even compare with Aretha. For that matter, I don't think any other black singer can touch her either. That's why she's the queen.

[Chasson0318]

Wow, listen to that voice!!!

[lgvillard]

whoaw!!!! just natural and beautiful , what the voice my friends on that one!!! love u ree!!

[TheDefjams]

yes they better had been clappin like that

[TheDefjams]

[simplybeautifu4]

[lwe38141]

[MaxErBaduScott]

Legendary vocals!!! Where is the video for Aretha and Smokey Robinson singing ooh baby baby on soul train?

[MaxErBaduScott]

Legendary vocals!!! Where is the video for Aretha and Smokey Robinson singing ooh baby baby?

[cynlexgmail]

Love Ms. Aretha! You are healed in God's name! Amen!

[Virpatrick]

@DeborahWinter Forgot to mention. Please, check out 'Aretha Franklin: I didn't have gastric bypass' CNN.

Since she has never admitted having cancer... I wouldn't trust on press as they are always inventing cancer to celebrities... Btw, Aretha is my preferred female singer of all times and my golden wish is to meet Aretha in person just to ask her to sing a little line for me...R. E .S .P .E C. T♪...go and figure, myself on the floor in matter of seconds!.

[Virpatrick]

@DeborahWinter Due to unwelcome rumours, I was checking out the news about Aretha's health and give thanks she is in good health she said she was "not going to even deal with" rumours that she had pancreatic cancer. I guess all this has to do with the 'theory' that she underwent gastric bypass surgery to drop weight which Aretha not only denied but added that she ditched fatty foods to drop the weight. She also said it's not just about being lighter, but feeling lighter and having "more energy."

[taddyd1]

79 was a landmark year for THE QUEEN'S VOICE!

[kprodigy11]

Ree Ree look SOOO good here VERY DIVA.......LEGEND...

[eveningprim]

@DebbyWinter YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO I AM, SO PLEASE, ENOUGH. I'M NOT READING ANYMORE OF THESE COMMENTS FROM YOU. WHEN U SPEW HATRED IT GATHERS AROUND YOU IN AN UGLY UGLY HAZE.

[pecanchocolatedeluxe]

song starts @ 0:30

[BuddyCasttle]

@DeborahWinter i agree wit ya Queen

[H1MLA]

@BuddyCasttle Oh I see, a fool following a bigger fool.....aka DeborahWinter the mixed-race kid who hates her Black & white side. But possibly a racist white man drawing in stupid misguilded Black bigots losers like you into his/her web of racist deceit agenda. I pity fools like you.

[Atomank68]

Get a load of Donny Cornelius, getting sweaty-nervous as if he were in church, feeling either the spirit, or feeling apprehensive with guilt of sin. See, that's how black spirtuals, AND Sister Aretha can affect us

[MrTrackfreek]

man that voice is golden.

[ashastar]

ONLY ONE WORD, THE TRUTH = ARETHA FRANKLIN

[Datplayboy1]

THE QUEEN ARETHA CAME TAKE A SOUL TRAIN TO CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!

[Walter2k2h]

Aretha is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

[determination9995757]

This being several years after the original recording, I have a feeling from the sound of her voice that if she had recorded that album during this time, the quality of the recording would have been OUT OF THIS GALAXY....being that the first recording of 1972 was already...OUT OF THIS WORLD. Bless God for Aretha.

[WhosZoominWho]

This is the Queen in her element! Hands down Aretha simply is the greatest vocalist to have graced the earth. Hope she is feeling better. If god gives her as much as she gave us, she has nothing to worry about. Luve ya Ree!

[H1MLA]

@DeborahWinter You are clearly mad, aren't you? If you really reside in the Caribbeans, then why on earth are you still fixated with White women? Oh, I forgot, there are White birds in the Caribbeans as well and you are mad that the local brothers there will date them, before they ask your ugly & hateful arse out for a date lol. You are really losing it girl. I really pity you. Seriously I do. How can you hold so much racist hatred in your heart? No wonder, you are lonely and single lol.

[BuddyCasttle]

@H1MLA dumbass ya need to shut the fuck up fore I kick ya coon ass head in fa real

[H1MLA]

@BuddyCasttle Learn to speak articulately before you type, thicko. I must have echoed a factual point that piss you off, didn't I?

[H1MLA]

@BuddyCasttle Oh, I wondered if you told DeborahWinter about your preference for Biracial fair skin girls? None of my business who you like to date or your racial preference. But since you are friends with a racist like Deborahwinters (who ironically is mixed-race...if that picture of her's is real), I thought I let you know, as she hates Mixed-race kids, those parents are Black & White. But then again, ignorant bigots like you are hypocrites. Who hate Whites, but will ALWAYS date Biracials.

[BuddyCasttle]

@H1MLA dude ya need to chill - Deb is BLACK CHICKand she got the face of a doll fa real - ya wanna know how I know - I used to date her SISTER lmbao. Dude ya gotta problam with her coz she dont like ya - she dont like sell out uncle toms dude - GET OVA IT lol!!

BTW dats her pic but ya too crazy see , ya need to take a pill or sumthin homie lol

[H1MLA]

@BuddyCasttle Not only are you thick headed and dense, you also appear to be a stupid liar......just like your debbiewinter friend. No, you don't know DW from Adam, nor have you dated her sister. DebbieWinter is a racist cretin, who spout racist crap against UK Black Brits. He/She is NOT a BLack woman. You are just another dumbass American fool, dancing to the tune of a bigger fool. BTW, what the racial background of your President? You know, the one who you and debbie worship so much?

[BuddyCasttle]

@H1MLA Ya gotta PROBLAM dude LMBAO...I dated her lil sis and shez a fiine pretty little thing! So GET OVA IT DUde. LMBAO!!! Shez BLACK dude, BLACKER than ya negro ass.

GOODBYE MR TOM!!

roflmfbao

[DebbyWinter]

@BuddyCasttle I told you not to bother with that deranged knee-gro H1MLA (who thinks it's "English") LOL complete waste of space, like all those UK knee-groes.

Catch up later my FRIEND. lol

[kinstube]

LOVE HER !!!!! I DO !!!!!!!!

[lenarita1]

ooooh, chills!

[smellincoffee]

@DeborahWinter Call it hate, call it contempt, call it whatever you would like. It is still beneath you and any other human being. We don't have to live at one another's throats.

[smellincoffee]

@DeborahWinter Your hatred will make both you and the world more miserable.

[smellincoffee]

@DebbyWinter I doubt Aretha Franklin would want the support of people who belch hate like you.

[H1MLA]

@sultan10 Well said dude. The sad thing about DeborahWinter is...she is mixed-race (one Black & One White parent). Yet she seem to have lost her damn mind & started hating Black men (because they date White women), White women (because she said, they took Black men from her) & Mixed-race kids. Indeed, DeborahWinter is bitter because she is lonely, no man, no kids and no love in her miserable existence, only race HATRED. She even said, she likes voting BNP. Sick, isn't she? Ignore her.

[jga665]

WHOA!!!!THE GREATEST THERE EVER WAS & EVER WILL BE!!!!!!!!!!

[MrYahudeejay]

absolutly beautiful ...

[radiodj1520]

I Believe This Was A Video Clip From The 314th Edition Of "Soul Train" On December 1, 1979.

[sultan10]

@DeborahWinter Saint Kitts & Nevis is my *known* homeland. I suspect I am a "mongrel" of an African (lol) half Ghanaian, half Nigerian...although I could be VERY wrong!!

[soln4suhreborn]

I hope all goes well with Aretha. I just saw her on PBS getting people to pledge a couple weeks ago and then I heard she has cancer...wow!! I wish her the best and hope that she can beat the cancer.

[nickisapinkdick]

@sultan10 LMBAO Dude you gotta prblem with Deb - GET OVER IT. She dont want no pink dick

[artemis133]

ALL you people screaming about skin color-trash is trash and good people are good people, no matter skin tone. Listen to the beauty of Aretha's voice and thank God for giving her to us with such a gift!

[SupraEdomiteSlayer]

@DeborahWinter LOL! Cos black people don't die of cancer? You retarded bitch!

[KissMeQuk]

Get well Aretha. We love you!!!

[moukhtalif]

woooo each time i see her i am amazed by her voice, her soul...thanks for adding this, Aretha is really the queen of soul music..

[911insidejo8]

@DeborahWinter ...what a dumb comment. 

[morgothI95]

[chakiell]

[harveyduffy]

I got goosebumps listening to the Queen!! NO ONE ...I mean NO ONE can touch Ms. Franklin...

[oneloveatatime]

[RMMFX]

[remoney]

[remoney]

Her voice sent chills up my spine. I hope she recovers soon.

[xxxWarriorGoddessxxx]

[neteraset9]

@xxxWarriorGoddessxxx Very sad news. 

[GamepitDAngelo]

Beautiful voice. I hear she's not in the best of health these days. We're still in the presence of a living legend.

[looker768]

think it's a weave?

[ladyvee7110]

@looker768 Black people can't have naturally long hair?

[HaliB75]

@looker768 No it was a lace front wig with her hair combed over the front.

[neededsaying]

@looker768..Most of that is Aretha's hair.. This was from 1979 a year before the Blues Brothers. In that movie her hair was long and it was all her's!

[adub3496]

She did that!

[groundhog713]

She's kicking ass as usual...

[Barginjunkie69]

luv it ..
