When Aretha is your yardstick, and you pass with flying colors, that says the world about you as an artist. So glad Bonnie is here with us on this earth. I was lucky enough to meet her while she was waiting to spend some time with the artist I was working with at a show in SF. What a kind and humble person she is, she deserves all her success and much more!
No other woman can ever play a strat, move, sing and still look so hot as Bonnie Raitt. And to make it even better, Aretha Franklin on stage as well. Awesome
This clip has Soul and a little Country, it gets no better then a mixture of really fine vocalists blending their style together to refresh a old-school hit.
I mean seriously!! This is a beautiful representation of the One Love, One Spirit we all are. Thank you wonderful Diva's for living your arts and talents and inspiring each other and the rest of us throughout your journeys!!
I sure do wish...'WISH' that this video was high quality...but it doesn't matter in the big picture of it all...it's The Queen Of Soul, after all and Miss Bonnie Raitt...That's all you need really!
I have seen Aretha do alot of duets and usually she is very lets say rightfully dismissive of the other singers. Not here. She treats Bonnie like someone who belongs on stage with her. Great duet. As good as it gets.
3 things "it is the thrill of my lifetime" and you can tell she means it - next, play it Bonnie (and Bonnie plays a MEAN guitar) then showing r-e-s-p-e-c-t the sends it to her guitarist Tally and her pianist - love it love it love it - these women are electrically charged
@rubyred0039, I think your opinions are spot on, as well as your parents! I was lucky enough to grow up in the 60s and 70s, and make my living in this business. It was satisfying to see Bonnie be the yardstick that shows the mediocrity that we put up these days with much of this current generation of "artists". Alicia had no business being on stage with Bonnie, as did the others you mentioned. Hopefully Alicia will take some lessons, and I hope she overcomes those awful pitch issues!
@jacobtong couldn't agree more. I'm 25 and loved how Bonnie SCHOOLED Alicia Keys when they performed at the Grammy's. It's so sad to see what my generation accepts as "good" music. HOW can you let people like Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, and Rihanna perform on the same stage as Bonnie, The Beach Boys, Glenn Campbell, Sir Paul, Springsteen, and Joe Walsh??? Thank you mom & dad for raising me on the GOOD stuff!!!!
there are few female singers who would even contemplate duetting with Aretha, but Bonnie does it with aplomb! She more than held her own and even Aretha showed a bit of (slightly grudging) respect but not too much. And what was Aretha thinking introducing her Son at that inappropriate moment ...
Aretha Franklin no me gusta mucho pese a que es legendaria, pero Bonnie Raitt es para mí junto con Rod Stewart la mejor voz de la historia de la música. 😃
Since Aretha has "lost her figure", to put it mildly, these days, I would say, since Bonnie looks so much like her first album cover, young and not wrinkled, and no Munster's wife white streak in her hair, ----I would say this was done back in the early 1970s. Looking at the audience, with what seems to be guys wearing tuxedos, this could have been the White House? or anywhere people dress up in DC. Otherwise, I would have thought it was Vegas, or Cleveland. Bonnie is IT! and Aretha Rocks!!!
Hey Skubanut - here you have the chance to hear two of the finest singers, and one of the best slide players, ever to perform, and you have to pick on an inconsequential, and almost certainly prearranged, name check, and have the audacity to insult Aretha Franklin. Grow up, and listen to the music.

I did not know she got to be with her idol! Great!😊
I have seen Aretha do alot of duets and usually she is very lets say rightfully dismissive of the other singers. Not here. She treats Bonnie like someone who belongs on stage with her. Great duet. As good as it gets.
doesn't get much better !!
Bonnie en duo avec Arétha Franklin c'est aussi un monstre sacré
3 things "it is the thrill of my lifetime" and you can tell she means it - next, play it Bonnie (and Bonnie plays a MEAN guitar) then showing r-e-s-p-e-c-t the sends it to her guitarist Tally and her pianist - love it love it love it - these women are electrically charged
AMAZING WOMEN
Tanto para escuchar... que no alcanza una vida.Siempre me dió como que Bonnie era una Grossa...y vaya que lo es!!
you have to wonder how a room could hold all this music within the walls without exploding.
singing over Bonnie!!!
love it
Wow!
What words can describe this?
deux grandes cool!
Shoot!! what part of your soul would you given to have been in the front row!! Chemistryyyyyyyyyyyyy ! Two very special artistes x
C'Mon gals, brilliant

God is on their side.
Music is on their side
woohoooooo! Yeah!!!!
Bonnie has a lot of heart to sing with Aretha but Bonnie is good ..
wauw!
Oh my god
They both look so much younger; this clip had to have been filmed a long time ago, although they both still look good, & of course, sound fantastic!
why do they have a like button on you tube how about totally crazy about this track button. more like the truth. briliant.

why do they just have like button how about totally crazy about the track more like it.
aretha has a bangin body here who would have guessed
U see pictures when she was young hour glass

frank 6000 to shade Bonnie
Bonnie stay Bonnie even with John Lee Hooker, Mick Jagger, Aretha, so talentuous and cool, crazy.
awesome
Did lowell folsum song with Aretha?just something by lowell folsum please thank you.
cool
How does anybody share a stage with Aretha? She just too good.
Where and when was this performance? Please?
omg
What year is this? Aretha looks great!
Pretty sure it's 1993 at a benefit concert for Gay Men's Health Crisis.
blazak 2008 according to recording comments 👍
And few other men.
Aretha Franklin no me gusta mucho pese a que es legendaria, pero Bonnie Raitt es para mí junto con Rod Stewart la mejor voz de la historia de la música. 😃
Since Aretha has "lost her figure", to put it mildly, these days, I would say, since Bonnie looks so much like her first album cover, young and not wrinkled, and no Munster's wife white streak in her hair, ----I would say this was done back in the early 1970s. Looking at the audience, with what seems to be guys wearing tuxedos, this could have been the White House? or anywhere people dress up in DC. Otherwise, I would have thought it was Vegas, or Cleveland. Bonnie is IT! and Aretha Rocks!!!
@fearlissimo 1993
the video went black?
Lowell folsums sings.
Hey Skubanut - here you have the chance to hear two of the finest singers, and one of the best slide players, ever to perform, and you have to pick on an inconsequential, and almost certainly prearranged, name check, and have the audacity to insult Aretha Franklin. Grow up, and listen to the music.
Aretha not quite understanding the concept of sharing the vocals.
Please change the title of this video, it's Bonnie RAITT, jeez!
No autotune needed here. LoL
Aretha has no rispect..... poor Bonnie :(
How is this even a sentence? How does one spell respect wrong when talking about the person who taught us how to spell it?
Pretty slow of you to state this, when all throughout the song and especially after she did nothing but show Bonnie so much respect.
No sound. Grrrrrr
Aretha doesnt seem to notice that its a duet and she has to give some air to Bonnie!Unprofessional attitude
Mindblowinable don't you think that this was rehearsed before they got on the stage. Maybe that's the way they were rehearsed it.
imo aretha tried to drown out the true queen of the duet and trying to bring her son on but wave him off was a true form of bs :(
great song; 2 great artists, but their vocals were out of sync. Still a good performance.
u can't sync with The Queen!
I was expecting something great.. Bonnie let me down here. She didn't even sing back up very well.. ugh.
well duets can be train wrecks but for those two legends I take it
