SMOKEY ROBINSON & ARETHA FRANKLIN - JUST TO SEE HER

[MegaGum1]

I LOVE this one. Big Bird i call it.x

[ZebFAN2010]

You don't see many artists who can sing just one song and croon their way through it and still get a standing ovation! That's why she is the Queen!

[KuttyJoe]

Beautiful! Awesome, and Amazing, all rolled up into one.

[robertsnowden19]

Woah is that Erma Franklin at 1:04? If not it looks just like her.....

[ArethasChild]

@robertsnowden19 lol thats funny you should say that. The woman at 1:04 is Erma's daughter. they look just like twins

[KHayes11368]

@robertsnowden19 Erma passed away a couple of years ago.

Of all people I certainly love and respect Ms Franklin. She is a home girl but maybe she doesnt listen to the ppl around when it comes to her attire. As far as her weight, I'm more concerned about her health than anything. We love her and need her to be here in Detroit with us for many years to come. You see shes our mom, big sister, auntie and angel....

[AIKAN74]

thats how those of our who have been touched by the majesty of queen REE feels!....thanx

[NoSuchThingAsTrinity]

@TheMidcoast1 Her style is very Detroit like. THe clark sisters dress like that too.

[TheMidcoast1]

Thanks for the comment @NOSUCHThing...many n Det. also wear clothing that is more sleek and low key as well. Detroit is probably one of those places where you can get away with wearing a wide range of fashion and colors. Keep in mind that we are also close to the east cost and look real snazzy in our blues blacks and browns too.Her outfit is usually to much for me though and eventhough I love my REE REE the only out fit I've thought was in good taste was in the Rose video with Lauren Hill.

I am worried when I see Aretha's size for her health and for no other reason as I love and respect her more than anything. I don't really care what she wears, if she's happy with it so am I. We want her around for many many years to come, happy and in good health. She truly is THE QUEEN.

[TheMidcoast1]

@flickfi although some of the outfits bother me a bit...I agree with you 97% I want to see her around for many years to come as well. She connects us to our history. She respresents what we stood for and faught for in solidarity back then.She is my childhood, my big sister, my auntie etc. and we love her despite it all.

[LaRocheFoucauld]

Two living legends.... We are so lucky to be blessed with their talent during our lifetimes!

[theaircadet]

I dont know what the big deal is with her weight. yea she gained some but who cares. Theres people that are so fat the cant get out of the bed, if youre gonna be an a-hole then talk about them first

[wilsondylanmccartney]

Her weight is out of this world, and so is that costume lol.

[Genevaave]

Who says aretha has not duet chemistry, so even makes singers who voice are not as powerful as hers seem like they can keep up

[Joseelfeliz]

Guaoooo.. que duo.... me gusta muchiiisimo esa cancion.... y a duo con areta fraklin... se escucha fenomenal.... Congratulations.... Best regards from Venezuela

[MrStyle23]

Aretha and Smokey are great together! I can't believe they haven't actually recorded a song together.

Aretha's voice was in rare form that night.

[maria1026]

fantastic! :-)

[ZebFAN08]

And people say Aretha has no duet chemistry, this is the perfect "magic" for a duet. They did this song in 1993 too

[edwardvieedwardvie]

i love this song

[Siscly113]

That's what u call a life long friendship... i pray god blesses me with at least one of those :)

[HOOPCITYDETECTIVE]

Nope Smokey was not off key one bit!

[SoulSir]

A, smokey'n'soulful intuprompt performance.

[JCFans]

Aretha is THE QUEEN!

Is it just me or Smokey was a bit off-key in here at times? Lol.

[bemaniac2]

no he was off key! but she was in great voice that night its a shame she didnt sing more!

[nickybadboy50]

I've loved Aretha & Smokey since I was 10 years old.

[wilstebri]

Aretha...such a gracious lady.
