This is a rare performance from the queen of soul. This is by far her best rendition of Respect, this is from 1968 Aretha Franklin Day, Martin Luther King Jr. was present with her this day.

**Look at Carolyn & I think Erma in the background ! ! ! ! ! ! !

  • Whitney was born in August of 1963 so she was either 4 or 5 years old when her Godmother sang here.

  • I just have 2 watch this over and over 2 lift my spirits. The divine Ms. Franklin had an excellent audience which really brought out the best in her performance. She's always wonderful, but when U have the right audience, the performance only gets better. It's been my experience that African-American or Hebrew performers desire and need good audience PARTICIPATION. That's definitely here especially with the blonde dancing down the aisle near a producer(?)/European-looking guy.

  • I would have killed to see her in a live concert. She's just so good.

  • OMG, Was that Rev. C,L. Franklin at the end of the video jammin to his daughters music?? lol
