Comedian David Brenner is truly touched by her performing. It would be great to be able to have this entire program on DVD, or at least posted here on Youtube. Thank you so much for posting. Her piano playing always gets me.
beautiful and so is aretha... she is the queen of soul and of gospel. her voice is impeccable. patti has a beautiful powerhouse voice with range but before there was patti there was aretha.. God bless you Aretha..love ya
You got to be kidding me. Patti doesn't know what the meaning of soul is. It is not a loud voice, nor is it about range. Aretha was changing the face of music. Releasing all of her feelings in every song she sang. If there was no Aretha Franklin than there is no Queen of Soul. Patti is no queen, she is merely a loud ball of mess.
this is one of my favorites videos of Aretha playing and singing....she should do a concert with just her singing and playing.......i would be first in line for a ticket
If you are talkin about screaming...then you are right there is no comparison...Patti did more screaming than singing. Aretha's tone and pitch are on point...her voice has depth and excellent range, not to mention that her piano playing is evidence that she is an all around excellent musician...
Ms. Thang? You should really ensure a few things before you become a cyber-gangster...First, I am not gay. Second make certain that person who are "calling out" does not know you...and where you work. We'll continue this conversation in person
This guy is so disrespectful that I had to say something. This dude is damn near 40 years old, running off at the mouth. I simply gave my opinion and he went off. People who reside in glass homes should not throw stones.
That's the problem with Patti fans, they dont' understand the concept of not oversinging and what true phrasing is. Aretha's version moves me so much more than Patti's. Aretha really gives this song the proper soul grooming it deserves. The way she sings this song makes the words just roll from her mouth and reach your ears and send a message straight to your soul that touches you in such a special, divine way.
She's the Queen. A lot people think soul singing is a bunch of yelling and scream, which Aretha can do. But, Like you said it is that intimate phrasing and crooning that sets her apart. Jesus has gifted her.
This is the best version I heard aretha did I heard her sing it 3 or 4 times on youtube this one is the best all make me cry but this one MAKES ME CRY LIKE A BABY the piano and her
I've always said Aretha Franklin sings and sounds her best accompaning herself at that piano! Could you just imagine hearing her sing at her church and travling with her father the Rev. Franklin? Blessed are those people who were able to experience this live. Her gospel, soul, and jazz interpretations on the Piano is simply incredible! Mind you she did this and many others when she was just a eight year old prodigy! I give the credit for your artistical genius "Ms. Queen of Soul" Salut!
Oh wow how nice to have family stop by my page. I am an adoring fan and one of many here on YouTube. Glad you enjoyed one of my favorite clips or Aretha. Tell her I said hello!
Yes. Sorry about the visual. This was videotaped during an outage of my cable box, so I had to revert to those old "rabbit ears" for reception real quick. The audio does overide the iffy video. Thanks for your comments!
Make it plain, Miss 'Re. Make it plain.

That ain't no joke, that is the truth. Patti lacks soul, she lacks emotion and feeling. She is merely a loud voice.
