Aretha FRANKLIN- "Ain't Nothing Like A Real Thing" (LIVE/Canada/1978) Part 3.

Just UNIQUE, just FREE isn'it? Who else BUT this woman? Mmmmmmmmmm.

Once again, I share some fantastic quotes about the Queen of Soul for ALL FANS.

Janis JOPLIN: "Aretha is the best chick singer since Billie Holiday.
SIMONE, daughter of Nina Simone: "Apart from your mother, who has influenced your singing?: Aretha Franklin".
Ray CHARLES: "ARETHA is one of the greatest I've heard any time".

Patti LABELLE: "Aretha is the best singer in the world".
Patti LABELLE: "Aretha, YOU are my hero".
Barbra STREISAND :"I'm really inspired by talent, it doesn't threaten me. I wish I could sing like Aretha FRANKLIN. Those fantastic high notes she hits".
Chaka KHAN: "You, Aretha, have always been and still are my only vocal mentor."
BEYONCE: "Aretha (...) That crisp tone and incredible range, the purity of her voice (...) It's one of God's blessings."

Mary J. BLIDJE: "She is the reason why women want to sing. Aretha has everything — the power, the technique. She is honest with everything she says. Everything she's thinking or dealing with is all in the music, from "Chain of Fools" to "Respect" to her live performances. She could be doing a church vocal run, and it would turn into some jazz-space thing, something I never encountered before".

Bill COSBY: "Aretha Franklin is responsible for more female singers working someplace else because they tried to copy her".
Janet JACKSON: "Aretha's music has always been, and will always remain, a major influence".

Robert MERSEY: "Aretha is a natural. No matter what she sings (...) she is completely free, uninhibited and thrilling";
John HAMMOND: "Aretha as "the greatest voice since billie holiday'".
Nikki GIOVANNI: "Aretha came and we had a champion (...) that voice lifted our spirits; and we changed a nation".

seems to be some HEAT going on yaskam.

Re don't mind abit of conflict though, but i hope it don't get too hot in here. But in the mean time i am sure grateful for your clips.

[yaskam]

Thanks. You're right. Aretha's MUSIC is feelings of LOVE, PEACE, SOUL, HUMANITY and GOD;

[theblueangel28]

one thing i dont understand about Arethas career, why is there no concert video

ive seen several videos from this concert, they were obviously shot by a professional crew and edited.

so why not release it on dvd. or the one in Sweden. or Montreaux, or the special for Showtime/HBO?

i mean the Jonas Bros and Amy Winehouse have dvds, but not the greatest singer in history? what is the deal?

thanks for sharing

Mama Ree!!!!!!

Anyone who ever decides to become a singer or even has to the nerve to vocalize publicly, should be required to listen to hours of Mahalia Jackson and Aretha Franklin. It is all about the presence of THE HOLY-SPIRIT!!!!

I can't help but shake during watching this video...I can only wonder what it would like to actually be there.

I'm aware that Aretha's legacy is strongly tied to her 1960's Atlantic recordings. But it's her 1970's work that has always moved me the most intensely... musically, the textures musically/vocally just cocoon the soul when you need it... :)

@jay2luv, for sure she set the stage on fire. It would have been difficult for me to keep still were I at that concert. Bow down, I say, the Queen has arrived.

[swaregirl]

What a superb arrangement and execution of fabulous song.

My heart is heavy today after reading reports of Aretha Franklin having Pancreatic cancer. I hope that it is not true.

GOOD GOD THIS IS FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aliquippawill]

All hail the Queen!.......who is, without question "The Real Thing"! I might add also.........THERE AINT NOTHING LIKE HER! Amen.

[PauleQueenie]

The old recordings have slightly spoilt the quality of her singing and songs. If Ms Franklin was singing in 2010, the HD recording would enhance the musical background and her voice even more.

The 1970's singers had these disadvantages compared to the recordings of bad singers, no talent yakateehoo bla bla who have the technology and nothing else.

[jay2luv]

not to many people can touch a marvin gaye song but whenever she covers anyone song its like she just makes it her own!!! I always love from2:00-2:15 she just makes me want to scream and holla this woman voice is priceless sing it re re

[dbastard1977]

Which artist today with auto tune can sound and render even near this......NOBODY!!!!
